Started this channel to be more of a personal video album for myself but took a new direction to show some of the stuff I do for fun. Along the way I decided to document things that might help others or just entertain other people into the same things I’m into. I’m not tryin to make money or make vids with Universal Studios quality production. Most of my vids suck and I’m awkward at best! Oh well!
So enjoy some music, dyno runs, racing, off roading, bronco2 builds, thunderbird builds and technical how to vids

Building Tube Half doors for my 1987 Ford Ranger
In this video I build the tube doors for my Ford Ranger Truggy rock crawler The Mutt. Built from scratch by myself these work in conjunction with my factory doors I converted to be removable, as seen in the preceding video. Everything you see in this video can be applied to a Bronco2 as well.

Good job bro 👍
Really Cool Idea , You cant beat ( on demand tube doors ) for a Rig .
I should have built these from the start
I have ventured back down this particular rabbit hole, and am enjoying it just as much as the first time. I miss my B2300 (Ranger clone).
I have moments of weakness where I think I want to build another one too
One bad A ranger! Hell of a build! Awesome awesome job! Just found your channel I'll be tuning in to watch your vids!
Awesome, thank you! I been wheelin the crap out of it all year!
What rack are you using with the tonneau cover that the tent is on?

Not quite a wheely but I'll accept it.
I’ll work on that!
Do a wheely!! 😂. That is one sweet ride bro!
Thank you!
I loved running the whole length of the creek bed and the concrete area was pretty awesome too! Next time we'll have to go back in the fall so it's cooler out 😉
Yeah and I want to see that trail they closed off too!
@@randumadventures definitely!
Where u got metal bumper from
Both bumpers were homemade
Great car. . I had 5 . . . 83-88s . . . Never cared for the Vent windows on 83-84 tho . . . Nice car 😊
If it had a/c I’d agree about the vent windows also
AA no long offers a adapter for the m50dr2 to the stock transfer case. Sad day considering I just got that transmission. Or am I not understanding what’s being said in this video.
Get the one for the Dana 20 tcase
Man this makes me want to get my 92 X out of thw woods at my cabin up north. Trans went and the 4.0 got a knock so i parked it about 7 yrs ago. Super close to Rocks and Valleys in harrison but live 3hrs south so wroking on it may have to.tow it home. Confirmed v8 and 5speed. May have to pick yur brain if i need help. Cool vid
Get that thing home and get wrenching!
Do you have the part number for the log headers that you where running on the b2 by any chance. Love the content keep up the awesome videos 👍
All three trucks in this vid are running the same swap headers from Advance Adapters which as of now they no longer sell. I am currently working with a local shop to produce a new v8 swap header for us all.
@@randumadventures I appreciate that, tried calling advanced about ordering some, acted like they didn’t want any part of it. Was thinking of trying those tri-Y headers, people been saying they work in the ranger, should work on the b2 I would think. What’s your thoughts.
@@joshuaaugers9993those won’t work on drivers side
@@randumadventures what should I do for the time being, stock manifolds off a f150? would be just to keep to keep the project moving forward .
@@joshuaaugers9993maybe some factory explorer manifolds?
That concrete area must be new. Looks fun
It was very strange area, but fun
Was a fun adventure for sure
so lift it off wheels, not just that raise
I just used it to lift the entire rear off the ground to droop suspension out to change out the rear shocks. Worked perfectly
need to clean your bench
….. I need to clean the whole shop
I love my swappable doors on my Comanche. For you I think it would be cool to get a second set of ranger doors and make them into half doors instead of tube doors. Also I think I might have a better idea for your hinges.
I’d love to hear your idea..
Very cool mod. Also noticed the new and improved intro footage.
This could be you!
Love it dude!
Hopefully the rest turns out as good!
Ah I see. I've yet to make it through the Gilligan build so I haven't made it to the start of Truggy either. Theoretically the only other solutions would be to either prepare to run either a low pinion Dana 44 front axle, or find another t-case option like the np205 like another commenter said right?
Yes I think a low pinion d44 would work, adding a doubler between trans and tcase or going to a different tcase all together
@@randumadventures Understood. I will look into it. You've been so incredibly helpful. I look forward to seeing more of the projects.
this will be a great mod for next weeks heat wave!
Man I can’t wait to go for a cruise!
How cool! Great idea 🤘
More to come!
Looks good ! Definitely a two man job though.
Or one large man!
Stellar man really. I'm starting to build a 302 BII and found you through your 2 cents video. Lot of great info. My stock A4LD went out so I'm looking into actually finding a donor early SN95 to avoid speed density and to give the AODE a chance since you said you wish you'd done an AOD. Not sure what to do about the Explorer front dress though. It'll be hell to find it I'd imagine.
The sn95 and Explorer dress are almost identical so you should be good. I did try an AOD in this truck and it didn’t work with my combo so I’m back to a c4 now. There is a video explaining it. Its “ pt20 I messed up”
Do you know what headers were used and if they or the steering needed any modifications to fit? Im looking at doin the same swap but in a lifted 91 explorer sport 2dr
They are LS swap headers for a S-10. They are very tight to the steering shaft but does clear
Those Maxxis tires did well. They keep impressing me. Might have to get a set for the Willys Overland project.
I can already tell they are better than the old km3, definitely a softer compound
@@randumadventures I've seen them on 3 rigs work amazing right out of the box 🤘
Looks like they poured concrete at the exit of those tubes. Back when I drowned my Cherokee there it was just a 3’ drop into the water!
Yeah it’s pretty mild now
I love the two tone. Reminds me so much of mine back in the day. I'm pretty sure we did a race together across St Helen chained together way back.
At SnoFari 2012??
@@randumadventures has it been that long 😂.
@@Jfrgaragelol yeah I had the silver b2 at that time. Still have my jack we won!
Can I hire you to do mine?
If I had the time and space I’d love to turn this into a paying job but unfortunately that’s just not possible with my work schedule
How did you get the dual shock mounts flat against the frame but also the top bolt holes to line up?
I used the long bolt that holds the shocks and just welded the brackets to the frame
I have a 120v Lincoln welder will that be enough to put this together?
Yeah absolutely
@@randumadventures Thanks
So ware are the 3D switch covers at again are they on Etsy or what
You’ll have to ask in some of the Explorer or Bronco2 groups on FB… we not sure who has the prints for these anymore
I’m all ready in some bronco 2 FB groups
Barnes 4wd makes these weld on captured hex nut plates that are good for keeping your bolts from spinning in the bracket as your links cycle up and down i have them on all my link brackets now. they would probably help fix your track bar issue.
I have seen those and never thought about one of those , I’ll look into it
@@randumadventures will probly only work if you make it double shear though
Got a link for Spal fan for the cooler?
I’ll look it up again
@@randumadventures thank you
That new set up will hold up to all that 🐎 powers. I wonder if you could add stick on Dyno mat type stuff on the engine or trans too? I'm just glad it wasn't a weekend ender for you.
I did put Kill Mat on the oil pan sump as well
where can i buy the jacking point?
Go to 3:00 in the vid
Sitting here watching you and Kevin play really pushes me to get mine moving.
Dude it would be epic to get the three of ours together! Get on it!
So cool. What a great time !!
Probably the best wheelin I’ve ever done
the mutt is a dam tank nice drivin too
Still learning it but getting better every time !
Truggy looking good man! #teamford still wish I was there
Yeah you were missed
Love that exhaust sound! 😊 the mutt did well.
It does sound dam good!
I like the commentary later in the video.
Commentary = excuses 🫣
@@randumadventures 🤣🤣
A lot of good information thanks man!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and walk around! Well built as usual. Very good stuff.
Thanks! I know a thing or two about a thing or two!
Great video and what a great weekend. Love Harlan. My favorite east coast park. Great wheeling with you too. Looking forward to the next time.
I can’t wait to go back and see even more
Looks like the Mutt knows how to dig, welcome to eastern Kentucky, I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Indeed! Can’t wait to come back!
Do you have a parts list and are you running a manual or auto and whitch one? Im trying to get a baseline price on how much its going to cost me and my father to do this swap !
Check my recent vids on this car. It started as a manual swap and now is automatic. I definitely haven’t tracked what I’ve spent on this project, not sure I want to know!
@@randumadventures I understand that one !!! And automatic that come with coyote or ?
@@kavonroberts4724 I used a 4r75w
@@randumadventures thank you I appreciate it!!
Was an epic weekend for sure.
Can’t wait for the next!
Awesome content!! Can’t wait to join you on one of the adventures!!
Yeah we really haven’t done anything hard together yet!
Man that looked like an awesome time! Can't wait for our trip to windrock in October!
Still bummed you weren’t there
