**** it, might as well be posted on here aswell. This is what all my time and money is goin into.

2 pics of the battery tie down/box i was workin on today. Its made of 1/2 square

Pic of the fender off and marked for clearance. Hopefully i have the right idea. I measure from my xmember down and got 5.25" so im cutting for 5.75" from the center of the tire. And i hope there isnt anymore movement

i ended up trimming a little extra to kinda round off some spots. Im hopin my air box clears. ive seen pics of ones where it was still in the stock location.

alright pic of the drivers side cut

And the first of things to be relocated, this thing was on my plastic inner fender. Not sure really what it was but i built a little BS bracket to mount it to the throttle cable housing. Ill be extending what appears to be fuel lines and a 2 wire harness.

hell ya, that was with a shitty flux core machine. Doesnt matter how good u are, ur doin it more than once because of the pitting and craters it leaves behind.

wouldnt a couple hc2000s look pretty good too? huh lol

3.0 in that? i just did my head gasket on my 2000 ranger with the 3.0 looks good

 

[davidfre21 5,000+ posts]

forgot about this lol, yea its a 3.0. Im thinkin my radiator is cracked //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif but rather that than a blown head gasket

a shot of the tank/valves and compressors. Not happy with it, but the tank ended up bigger than i expected it to be so im stuck for now. Ill re-do it when time comes for the back.
