It's this one, looks better clean:

I was told the engine locked up. Tonight I removed the belt and it turns just fine. I don't have a spare battery yet but will by tomorrow. Oil was fresh, no metal flakes.

The frame is wasted. To be driven it will need the rear half of a frame and a bed and freaking shocks I drove 45 all the way home because at 50 it bounced back and forth like crazy.

This thing has been beat on. Like 17 year old with a ranger beat on. It has a bunch of great parts and others have failed long before their life expectancy.

The doors are almost perfect, passenger door is perfect. That area under the doors (forgot what it is called) has been beached on rocks. There is mud stuffed in places so high that it might have went partially under. The AC condenser that I needed for my Jalapeno is partially crushed. The power steering cooler is a mud brick.

I have never seen a 4WD with so little features. No cruise, no tilt, no power windows or doors, no fog lights. 7.5 373 open rear end. It does have the fancy wheels that's a couple hundred back on my investment.
I'll post more pics later this week, this thread was for the 4.0 transplant LOL.

The 4.0 transplant I underestimated the power. It doesn't have the low end torque the previous engine had but it really shines going from 50 to 70 on the highway. Much better at high RPM's than the old engine AND it gets better fuel mileage I can tell already.

Did you go from a sohc to an ohv? Sorry if that's the wrong name or they're both the same engine, slightly sleep deprived with the new baby

I have never seen a 4WD with so little features. No cruise, no tilt, no power windows or doors, no fog lights. 7.5 373 open rear end. It does have the fancy wheels that's a couple hundred back on my investment.

We have a 98 3.0 truck here like that. Factory 3.0, 5 speed, ESOF 4x4, manual windows, manual locks, no slider back window, no fog lights, non venting side windows.
It did of course have the fender flares with mud flaps (the one you sent me)
That truck is now a 4.0, 5 speed and it turned out awesome! Tons of people around here love it because of the lack of features??? I like manual locks and windows but I gotta have me some fog lights and a rear slider!!

Nope, direct parallel swap, OHV to OHV. Ranger went to the SOHC in 2001.
