Any pictures of a newer Ranger like that with an Exo? I've only ever seen them on POS rock crawlers. I think it would look ugly.

sometimes ugly and safety go together. I dont want it to be a death trap.

figured I would dig this backup. Truck kinda took a turn for a minute away from suspension work.

Going to drop in a Lincoln Navigator power plant.

5.4L DOHC
4r100 Trans
BW 1356M Transfercase

Should be rather challenging.

Already picked up the engine.

yeah it is. I think I am going to get it for a decent price. Better than the BW4406 Auto4wd with 4Hi and 4L that comes on the navigator.

Its pretty big. I dont know the exact numbers.

A friend of mine is putting it in, wiring it, making it run, kind of a selling point for his performance shop. Probably rebuilding the engine too.

I may front half it but at this point its hard to say, still in the beginning stages. I know he wants to make it look as stock as possible to keep it a selling point for other cars/trucks.

I need to back half it first. I already cut the fenders in the rear and I want to dove it next.
