It looks good, Allen. :)
Spud :) |
Great value too!
How much do you suppose it weighs? Do you notice a performance penalty? |
It weighs about 100-150lbs. Performance. None to note. None to start with either. :lol:
I rarely get above 55mph. It doesn't howl or make any noise that I can note either. |
Back to the ac compressor bracket. The two main bolts holding the bracket to the block are not missing. They are broken off in the block. :evil:
Spent an hour getting stuff apart to discover this. Guess no AC for me. It will have to wait until I pull the engine to fix all the oil leaks. |
Your welds are too pretty to grind. I bet that little Hobart is a sweet machine for stuff like that.
Extra points for using a camo tie-down. |
Not all my welds are that nice and I needing to clean up the spatter. The hobart has been good for me. All the parts are available locally and it can handle everything I want.
The camo tie down will have to work until I get over and pick up some bolts. |
Back to the weight of the rack. Going to go with about 200lbs of rack, 150lbs of toolbox and then whatever is in the back. The stock springs are not really up to the task.
Research shows that explorer springs are thicker, but the same length. I think I will need to visit the junkyard. |
Waterpump gave up today.
|
Did the bearing come apart, or did it just start leaking out of the weep hole?
It is running out. Not really weeping. Sounds like a bearing too. Oreilly has waterpumps as low as $16. :lol: I think I will put a new lower hose on while I am in there. |

If it's nice my Ranger you'll need 2 special and fairly cheap tools from the parts store to remove the fan. Pretty easy job.
|
No special tools needed. The fan is held on with four bolts that just need a 10mm wrench. Took about an hour of real working time. The bearings gave out. Looked like an original part.
Replace the lower hose and thermostat while we were in there too. |
The 4 banger must be different from the 4.0 in this regard. Glad you got it fixed. :D
|
Much different. Not much engine equals lots of room to work.
