I havent updated in a while cause I have been looking for a few parts .. the front end nose assembly is one of the things I have been looking for . I wanted to find a 93 ford explorer limited bumper and cover , but the closest one i could find is over 250 miles away..So I went to my local U-Pull-It and started looking for something that might work..
I found a 98 mountaineer bumper .. I have done some test fitting and it might work not sure yet gona play with it a bit and see what i can come up with .. for 40 bucks i can afford to play around with it a little bit.

Heres some pics of the first test fitting..

I got a chance to get out to the shop tonight .. threw some parts at the ranger and with no cutting or anything this is what i came up with .. i think over the long weekend i should be able to get the fitment better ..

Im weighting on a few things to finish up some of the body work so I dove into the interior .. pulled the 60/40 bench and chopped the center out and made buckets and installed a center console I pulled out of a 93 explorer .. This is the first install just to see how it all will fit together ..

well it took me 3 hours but I got it out ... I pulled out the old cracked dash and after some dye and a few costume touches im going to install a newer dash..

The old cracked one I pulled


how the truck sits now ....




and the new dash as it sits before dye and stuff..

quick update.
I have been working alot of mandatory over time lately so I have had little to no time to work on the truck or any of my other projects ..

I did pick up a HO 5.o and the topend off of a 96 explorer... sticking with an aod that I have for now.. made some motor mounts and installed the whole package. for test fitting.


I have a complete wiring harness out of a 92 mustang gt auto that I am going to use .
I will be working on this more now that were dont with OT for a while..

I will update with more pics latter
