The rear wheel studs were 11/16-16 while the front was 1/2-20. Making all 5/8-18 was a major bitch. I ended up having custom 5/8 lugs made by summers brothers for the rear. The front got desolate motorsports 5/8. I drilled out the front to fit the larger stud.

Here is a 4th of july update! Not that the 4th matters as every day is independence day. Ill be away for a while on orders so the build will be slow. Recently got wheels and glass mounted. A few aspects are only part done, need to buckle down and finish 1 thing at a time.

I ended up drilling out the hub and rotor and pressed in the studs i wanted. I used a reemer from mcmaster carr. Damn things are pricey. All came out aligned and straight.

Small update. Locating the glass. Got the cell in. The wheel studs are all now 5/8. Rear was 11/16 and front was 1/2.

Yes its for the same truck. Im using D44 front knuckles and spindal from full size Bronco. I think ill just upgrade to 5/8. Any idea how difficult/cost to mill a wheele to accept the 5/8?

Its for 97 ranger

Haha i literally laughed when i read this. Honestly not sure if you were trying to help or making fun* of me. I agree a .500 stud does not fit in a .625 hole.... duh. But there is such a thing as a "shoulder" with knurls that is .625 then steps down to a .500 thread.... i guess that was my...

Trying to replace 5/8-18 lug with 1/2-20. Hubs came with rear end. But replacing wheel studs and cannot find anything that works for weeks. Which option is easier? 1) enlarge feont lugs to 5/8 and machine 6 wheels. 2)reduce rear lugs to 1/2 to match front and wheels?

First off, i understand this info may already excist. Fairly new to forums. Stock lines are still installed. What is easiest way to plumb fuell cell for ranger? Is stock pump an option?

That is the best compliment i have ever got......

In retrospect, i totally agree on a plate fur tabs. If i see any sign of trouble, ill cut em of and re do. Hit nail on the head, it is a threat kit. Dave is an awesome guy.

Thank you. I clean a lot.

Got tired of the jungle in the cab so i got the steering going. Any criticism?

Her is a small update. Rear end is in and some more cage work.

@Travisfab i knocked out that rivit and it clears entire travel now. @partybarge_pilot party @AZFR8TRAIN i kept it for now as i have seen a ton of 1450 rangers with it plus it makes for a good support for fuel cell. I am still ponder oj g removing entirely.

I figured thats what i had to do. These rivets are the bain of my excistance. I feel like ive removed hundreds.

Just a quick question on what is "normal." Installing links on 97 ranger and it seems like lower part of C frame will hut upper link. Is it normal to trim the frame a little?

Ha i didn't even know she was in there pic. Thats the wife. She has no interest in building parts. Just like to ride haha.
