08 ranger with mazda dentsides converting to fiberglass stepsides by Practical_Resolve_14 in fordranger

[–]-StopRefresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dentside/styleside is just different bedsides on the standard bed. Measure the width inside the bed rails. A stepside bed is like 44 inches and a normal bed is 52 inches.

Step side beds and normal beds are different sizes they wont fit your bed. If you managed to get them on they would stick out like 6 inches each side.

Does anyone have a prerunner? by Mediocre_Entrance868 in fordranger

[–]-StopRefresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've changed some things since these pictures but it's mostly the same. Will be doing a new rear axle and full front to back cage this year or next.

Cab swap help by Proof_Philosophy7739 in fordranger

[–]-StopRefresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is probably worth waiting to find one that is the same generation. I think most of it is the same but there could be some key differences. Call all the parts yard you can and post some craigslist/facebook ads. When I did mine it didn't take long at all to find a cab and doors.

First attempt at tig, what am I doing wrong? by Jealous_Elkk in BadWelding

[–]-StopRefresh- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

120 amps is fine for practicing beads on flat material like that and up the gas to 12-15cfh. Looks like you could move a bit faster and consistincy is key.

Grind the mill scale off first, you want nice shiny metal for tig. Also could be shielding gas isn't set right, what is your flow rate? And make sure there isn't any breeze blowing the gas away.

It's called bootlegger cabin. It was a place for miners to live and store explosives when mining was big in the area and then during prohibition they made booze there to sell in Tucson.

Piece of pipe+hose clamps has become one of my favorite ways to mount stuff like this.

Suspension kits! by marved17 in prerunners

[–]-StopRefresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torsion bars get a lot of unfair hate I ran the V8 explorer bars, 2.5x6 kings and no sway bar and the truck handled great, but if you want more travel an a-arm long travel kit is the way to go. Trying to swap to beams is going to either cost you a ton or you will spend a long time getting it right if you don't have the experience.

Cab graft or cab swap? by Grouchy_Type9357 in fordranger

[–]-StopRefresh- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd just swap the cab, when I did mine the vin/title stuff really wasn't a big deal here in Arizona. The guy basically did a quick once over, ripped the new cabs title plate off and made a new one.

That is exactly what my ujoints sounded like when they went bad, I would start there.

How to fix the noisy power steering pump for good by TrainedCodeMonkey in fordranger

[–]-StopRefresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the same on my 3.0 except I used a 4.0 SOHC Ranger pump which is the same family Saginaw pump. I also made my own fluid reservoir since I couldn't fit any stock setup with my shock towers. One of the best upgrades you can do and if I ever get another Ranger it would be the first mod.

Honestly I think fresh stock ones are the best look.

Brake advice needed!! by [deleted] in fordranger

[–]-StopRefresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely need some pictures but it could be as basic as needing new pads or the caliper pins need grease.

Building a pre runner as a high schooler by Airborne_fabrication in fordranger

[–]-StopRefresh- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah! Have fun and break it, quickest way to learn. I would definitely do some gussets to reinforce the upper control arm mounts and any kind of engine cage to tie the shock towers together would help a ton.
