Sweet build, but at what point do you say 'why even bother having doors'?

I have full doors for the winter, I only have one half door for the driverside (free door dont have a passenger side one yet). its mainly to be legal on the road. The door bars on my cage are going to be in the way anyways, the doors are more just a skin to either keep cold out or keep me legal. Its going to be a dukes of hazzard style entry and exit.

Its just taken way to long at this point. When I started it, I really didnt know what I was doing. Didnt even know how to weld at that point. but I will say its helped me learn loads of stuff about wheeling and fabrication.

Looks good! Cool rig! Nice to see something different!

Little bit of boxing on the frame for mounting purposes.





I also just bought a set of sweet motor mounts.

[Toreadorranger]

Solid Body mounts almost all cut out. My bandsaw blade finally let go just as it finished one. So I need to pick up another blade to cut the last two. I built in a 1/2" "body lift" into the pucks so it gives me a little bit more clearance around the trans/tcase.

Should have continued to box the rest.

Should have continued to box the rest.

With the cage going in it wont be needed. The frame is going to be pretty stiff.

This is one sick ranger, sweet build.

I would have boxed the entire frame! Body lift? Why? Body lifts imo suck!!!! Good looking rig though!

Its only half an inch and its built into the body mounts. Since these are replacing the stock rubber mounts its all one peice, the short pucks that say .75" are for under the frame mount. they are a "washer" the frame mounts have like a 1.25" hole in them so I couldnt just use a regular washer so I made these instead. I have to pick up some 1/2" grade 8 bolts for these.
