That looks like a fun build, but I sure hope you plan to gusset and fish plate the junction to your new frame rails and the old rails, there is almost no structure there and it would sure suck if that fell off :)
Yup the frame will get more reinforcement once everything is put together...it will also have front runners from the cage to add strength

Didn't finish the crossover per se, as I have about half of the finish welding to do, but we'll call it complete. Very happy with how it looks and especially my use of space and not sticking out much beyond the crank pulley (only a little on the driver's side) as there was only an inch or two between the stock radiator fans and the pulley.

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been absent for a bit. Bought an airplane so I've been flying that instead of working on the Ranger. Anyway, started the roll cage install and progress was halted by a broken power switch on my MIG welder. Short video below!
