Yeah it is pretty big but I think it will look a lot better once I can mount a winch inside it with a lead coming out the center. It came on the truck when I got it but it seems pretty functional.That bumper is huge!
if you havent nicknamed it yet....i think dozer would be appropriate.Yeah it is pretty big but I think it will look a lot better once I can mount a winch inside it with a lead coming out the center. It came on the truck when I got it but it seems pretty functional.
Nice, I haven't even thought of naming it lol, thats a good one for sure!if you havent nicknamed it yet....i think dozer would be appropriate.
Seems to me that the 4.0 swap is more trouble than it's worth. The electrical would be a night mare, while the 5.0 would be a breeze in comparison.nice!
the 4.0 swap will be great
the 5.0 swap is more money than worth IMO...
now the ecoboost, go for it! now!
I know where I can get an explorer 5.0 (gt40), transmission, and transfer case... The problem comes in I don't want to buy the JD adapter, what I want to know is if I can just use explorer tranny and transfer case and just get driveshafts to fit and fab a new tranny crossmember. The reason I want to do this is because I have a set of early bronco axles dana 44 and ford 9" so it really would be a perfect combo! If I could find a decent price on an ecoboost and 4x4 transmission I would def do it, but I need to wait till the price drops alittle.Seems to me that the 4.0 swap is more trouble than it's worth.

Just sayin'.
Now the ecoboost, that would be a worthy project.
Man, if you can get a 5.0 drivetrain, i'd jump all over that. The only thing you'll need is motor mounts and driveshafts for the drivetrain, and a computer from an '89 f-150 with a 5.0. Add 2 new wires for the fuel injectors (they're batch fired, so you just need to splice in an extra wire per side) and go on down the road.I know where I can get an explorer 5.0 (gt40), transmission, and transfer case...

Well in that case I guess I will be picking up that 5.0 setup... I measured my lift and found out I have 7" (3 body/4 suspension) Im gonna try to get away with not having to use the oil filter relocation kit but from what I have read most people need it. Im still in college so I have to keep it on somewhat of a budget lol... I may be getting in over my head but I guess I will have to get used to eating ramen lol!!!Man, if you can get a 5.0 drivetrain, i'd jump all over that.
