Ford Ranger T6 Chassis Frame Welding Repair

Welcome back to the channel, in this video I make a start on the Ford Ranger T6 chassis frame repairs that were highlighted in the last video
It really is in terrible condition for its age but we just need to get it back on the road so have proceeded with the repair, ill be keeping a close eye on everything over the next few months just to check for any potential future problems but as mentioned before this really does need a replacement chassis frame
Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe video and leave a comment on your opinions of the state of the frame

Really good work, even when you've said that this repairs won't last an eternity and won't be better than a new chassis, i do believe it will be good as long as one from the factory.. and the cross memeber you add seems to be a lot stronger thand the old one.. Keep it up ! :D

[@paulsprojects1]

the cross member is probably a bit overkill but it was the easiest and cheapest solution as it was already on hand, its not going to last forever (except the x member lol) but it should be safe enough to go back on the road for a while thanks for your kind comments

Amazing work don’t forget to fill it with cavity wax

[@paulsprojects1]

yep, ill be using some Noxudol 700 as it creeps well and neutralises the rust too

Wow I'm amazed how bad it is. The earlier chassis 2012-2016 were ok ish for rust. The later ones 2016-2020 are horrendous for rust problems. There are 4 year old rangers failing MOT for corrosion. Are you able to lift the body and have a good look along the top of the chassis rails and around the front strut areas.

the front doesn't seem to be as bad although I'll give it a good look over once the back is finished, they certainly seem to have a serious rust issue from what I've read online

This is inspiration. I have my step dads S-10 that he bought new and needs some frame work. I def think i can pull it off, maybe not as nice as your work though.

thanks and good luck with your build

I just go to Dans Auto Salvage down the road and get another frame.😂

[@paulsprojects1]

if only it was hat easy lol

You might get more viewers if you showed more fabrication.. Showing things finished and chatting about the work you've already done isn't that interesting..

thanks for the tip
