anyone going anytime soon? i need a front cross member that will fit an 03 4.0L xlt 4x4. i have beat the living S**T out of mine trying to get it back straight and have gotten no where so im just going to replace it.

 

Skip the stock cross member, make your own and build a custom bumper to go with it.

 

im not that talented

 

Dude. Sq tubing or rectangular tubing... Get a sawzall, cut out the old one. Weld in the new one. Not hard. Put a front hitch in it while you're at it.

 

I've got the welder at my house Marcus. Also got a steel plate to cut into as well. Just make one up in Styrofoam and then come over and weld it up

 

Styrofoam doesn't weld to metal, Elan. lol

 

It doesn't?! No wonder I can't get it to work. I really need to take classes.

 

Oceana Salvage used to have a 1998 Ranger. And both Oceana and Pick and Pull has ALOT of explorers. (don't know if they'll interchange) If you want someone to come out and play, I'll help.

 

getting that involves cutting....torch or sawzall....some yards around here dont allow sawzalls, and cutting with a torch involves a $150 charge...

 

alright elan we are gonna have to make another junkyard run then. so start welding stupid crap to get good.

 

I'm off tomorrow marcus if you want to hit one up. Might talk to Bryan over on hrrangers. He's got a cordless sawzall.

I just called Oceana Salvage and Pick and Pull and they allow sawzalls.

 

i can't today. i have thurs to monday off so im going to hit you up then. im really bad sunburnt and blistered and can't really move a whole lot at the moment.

 

go to johnsons they have tons of rangers, if you sawzall it out they wont know what it is and not charge you as much lol, bunch of idiots

so you have a welder you say????

 

i don't elan does. where is johnsons at? we have been to oceana salvage and pick and pull and they didn't have any newer rangers.

 

its out off south military highway, i cant believe you never been there jeez, its a ranger/explorer mecca, i cant think of exactly where it is but it has everything your going to need, you should be able to look up there address

 

yeah, i've got a welder steve. it's only a 120v flux core.
