Slow Motion Project 92

[unometooo]

Well, intake gaskets have been replaced and after a few days of hunting down a connection problem, all is well and should be back on track to completing the 4wd conversion project. If I get the chance to go to the JY this weekend I will go get my transmission. I hope to have this all done in the next 30-60 days, stay tuned. Link below for my nightmare electrical problem thread.

I went to PAP last weekend on Sunday and they had a Auto 4x4 that was halfway pulled , the transfer case and front drive shaft was already removed , helps when the Cat Converters are also removed by PAP .

Was it the totaled green 93?

I think so , Hit hard in the front end .

I'm pretty sure that is the same one, front left wheel is broken too. Hopefully I can get that transmission before its gone. While I have your attention, do you have an extra brush guard or know where I can find one?

yeah I checked out that one , The front driver wheel was all jacked up on it lol , I would say check craigslist , My brush guard or push bar came off a Bronco II and I bent the bottom brackets to work with my body lift bumper brackets , I can keep an eye open for you and post something If I find it ! .

I know their is a guy in Palmetto that parts out rangers and has a lot of parts for RBV's .

HA, that red ranger is the one that my 4wd axle come out of. I have dealt with him a couple of times. I am on a list for him to call me if he comes across a brush guard. I really like the brush guard you linked too, I have seen that add also, I was hoping to find one a little cheaper, but I guess that is going to be the price range.

Nice work you have done on it.

 

[unometooo]

Going to PAP tomorrow to pull the transmission from the totaled 93 Ex if it's still there. What tools should I take? I have limited tools so I will need to pick a few things up on my way. Assortment of wrenches, sockets, long extension? I know I need a 12 point 10 mm for the drive shaft bolts. Mostly I will have to pick up some deep wells for the exhaust bolts and cross member bolts, I am just trying to narrow down the sizes to save a little money.

Wow, it has been a long time since I have updated this thread. Well, not alot of progress has been made, but some is better than none. I found a brush guard on craigslist and installed it and I found bought a set of tires and wheels from my son and put them on this morning. Steel wheels and some 31x10.5's, they look really good to me, but they rub a little in hard turns. Still need a transmission, but I'm not sure when that will happen because I'm still toying with the idea of a V8. Does the wheel/tires and brush guard make it look trashy lol? Almost forgot, I swapped the one legger 3.08 drum brake rear end out for a 2000 Ex Posi 3.73 disc brake rearend. Still don't have the parking brakes hooked up, but I will figure that out one day. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures of that swap, but it was pretty straight forward. Dropped one, popped the other in.

Good steal on Craigslist...Looks good to me, real clean and straight. I hope you swap gears in the front to match your new rearend! Looks like a great project you're wrenching on.

 

[turboranger91]

That brush guard looks terrible on your truck.... You should just sell it to me. Lol. Great project, man! Oh, and the wheels too... I'll have those as well.

 

[FR-425]

SAWZALL!

No need to be fuss'n with exhaust bolts or anything you don't need to keep.

If you can get torch, even better.

Thanks, I scored that brush guard for $50!!! As far as gears, yes they are matching, this Ex stared life as a 2wd (still technically is because I haven't changed the tranny yet), the 3.73 front axle was swapped in awhile back.
