Sure the U-bolts are 10" x 5/8" x 3 1/4"

@@stevelaw2000 I agree, the visibility was bugging me a bit, its nice to have a decent view of whats going on behind you. The truck is a 2004 model but the grille and bumper is from a 2008 sport model and fit without any issues. Thanks for the kind words and good luck with the lowering, im sure it will turn out great 👍

@@paule01 thank you for that information.

@@javieraranda2952 The c-clips are unable to be removed while the centre pin is installed. The centre pin doesnt allow the axles to have any slack in them to gain access to the clips. You can kind of see when I remove the pin the axles shaft can be moved towards the centre of the diff. Hope that makes sense

@@paule01 Thanks Paul, for taking your time.

@@paule01 Sorry, last question, I promess. What is the torque for the bolt in the center pin?

@@javieraranda2952 no problem, I believe the manual says 15-30 ft-lbs. I did 20 and used some loc-tite as well for extra safety

Theyre aftermarket Street Scene mirrors but I bought them used from another Ranger owner

Approx 5inches

I didnt know you do design work! I have to remodel my basement next and will definitely need help with designs 🙏🙏🙏

@@brad5316 ty 👍

@@faithnomore616 I can definitely see what you mean, Im still not 100% if Il keep them mounted or not

@@DavidRamirez-kv9xc its a grille from a STX model, you can usually find them around used

@@ramonhernandez4471 I think you're definitely right! 👍

@@VictorLopez-kg7vs pretty sure you can still buy them on Streetscenes website

Summit has some similar ones the pair goes for $118.72 its listed as "IPCW Sportage LED Mirrors CMRL-93RNG" or just look up (YOUR YEAR) Ford Ranger Street Scene Mirrors

@@AtomicReverend They do say things always come back full circle lol. But I agree definitely traditional mini trucking was always about frenching/shaving everything. To my defense, I did flip the handle on the back side :). When I paint the cab I plan on shaving the 3rd brake light as well as I have something special planned for the fender badges. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@paule01 i really do like it, it's pretty hard to do something original to a Ford Ranger, Chevrolet S10, Ford Mustang, a Ford Model A, a 1932 Ford and a VW bug as everybody has already done just about everything to them. I love hand fabricated owner built rides and from what I have seen yours is top-notch for a home garage build. I can only hope my 95 ranger comes out half as nice.

@@AtomicReverend Thanks for the kind words and im sure your 95 will turn out great. Always loved those 95 Splash models

@@paule01 it's funny I was thinking about buying a stepside bed... I got a pretty good lead on a 1998 stepside bed for 250 bucks... I just keep going back and forth if I really need it. I do think it would look really good on a pretty low truck

Thank you bro 🙏

Nope no rubbing issues

I 3d printed the new handle

Thank you 👍

Ah thats okay, maybe Il end up changing my mind and keeping it in thr Ford family. I still have some time to weigh out all the options

No problem 👍

Theyre from the 4/5 djm kit

Im flattered haha but definitely no legend here. I only remember the length and width of the notch before I bent it was 9.25"x3.5" and I believe I made the bends 3inches out from each side. Hope this helps

@@paule01 Thanks!

Factory Explorer passenger and drivers side cables and factory Ranger intermediate and front cable

@@paule01 what year Explorer did you specify? Thanks

@@stevebratten6592 1999 Explorer and my Ranger is a 2004 model

Hey, youre welcome to ask as many questions as youd like! Im going to take your recommendation and make an update video soon. If you have anymore questions let me know and I can always answer them in the update. As for the column, It wasn't too difficult, just try and find one thats the same year as your truck so you dont have any problems with different wiring connectors. And be careful with the airbag clock spring. It was totally worth it for the extra knee room though.

@@paule01Thanks for letting me know man, I think I’m gonna do the column upgrade if I can find a good one. As for the wiring & stuff, I plan to just swap all that stuff over if I can.

@@paule01Found a tilt column on Ebay off a ‘98 Explorer, I installed it & everything went great.

@@2H2521 thats awesome to hear! Glad it all worked out 👍

Happy to help and goodluck with your swap! 👍

Ty!

Thanks Neko, Im part of some forums but dont post much. Ah dont let the uneven gap stop you from enjoying your truck, most people would never notice. We only notice because its our vehicle lol. If swapping the leafs like I did in this video doesnt yield enough results I may just get a 1 inch lower block and install it on the passenger side. This should even things out. Hope this helps!

@@paule01 Hmm 🤔, good advice to consider coming from someone more experienced at this than I. Thanks Paul, it will help in considering my options. 👍

Thanks :) it takes me forever to make videos but Im glad you waited. The wheel thing was just something I 3d printed to help get round bends because I dont have a proper brake line bender. You can use anything to bend as long as it has the radius you want.

Hey, I believe it is a 1.25 inch spacer up front and I dont have one in the back

@@paule01 I appreciate the quick response. I’m using your video as a tutorial while doing my DJM kit right now. Thanks!

@@prokill00 thanks, thats awesome to hear! Take your time and let me know if you have any other questions 👍

Theyre out of a subaru impreza

Thank you!

It is a 3.73

That is very true, except they wont have disc brakes :(

A guess a grinder and a little paint goes a long way lol

I would say take lots of time with your metal work because it will save you time later when you do your bodywork

Hey, youre right and adding the extra bulb would be a great idea. I got the tail lights from aftparts.com

@paule01 thank you, and after I asked you where you bought them, I look at you info and saw the AFT place, your truck looks Amazing and those clear tail lights really make your truck......!, when I was younger, I was in a couple of mini truck clubs, had an 1988 Isuzu pick up slammed, with all the speakers, bed cover, shaved roll pan, frenched license plate, everything in the mid 80's thru the 90's down in Miami, FL. The good old days. Miss those days. Your truck is a good looking truck. I want to do the same with the tail lights on my 02 ford ranger edge. Thank you my friend, have a wonderful sunday.

Thanks so much for the kind words and your Isuzu sounds like it was awesome! Im sure you'll like the tail lights, every now and then I switch back and forth between these clears and factory red ones just to change it up

Do you mean the length or diameter of the sway bar?

I'm referring to the stabilized bar ends, I'm interested in their length because having the kit from djm they are clearly not standard

I'm referring to the part you edit in this video at minute 5:00

The complete length side to side is approx 45 inches and the length of the shaft in between the bushings at the end is approx 5 inches

Thank you very much

Ty!

Those Splash models had some pretty nice upgraded options
