I just wanted to let you guys know we are now building Ranger transmission crossmembers to go along with our control arms.
these crossmembers are made with 1/4" thick end plates and braces and 1&1/2"X1/4" thick DOM tube. the ends fit into the groove in the inside of the Ranger frame and bolts in using the existing holes. they come with the 1/2" grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers.
these hang just about 3/4" above the ground when layed out and clears the cat. even if the bolts came out, the crossmember would stay in the groove in the frame. installation takes about 15 minutes with only wrenches, no drilling.
as some may know, we also make tube control arms for the 98 up Rangers as well. we are also working on a setup that slides in over the 97 back Ranger frame and bolts in to accept control arms and spindles off either a Toyota or Mustang II. this setup should be available by the end of the year.
im also looking for a test Ranger in the Texas area to install this setup on. I would need the truck for one month to 2 months. the owner would get the entire setup free. this means the arms, the crossmember and spindles, brakes etc. this would not include bags, lines, fittings or other non suspension items. if I dont have a test truck by late November, ill probably buy a test frame and go from there. please let me know if anyone is interested in this setup.
ill be coming up with a guess on price in the next couple weeks.
