Because of the 3" body lift, I had to recess the bar brackets into my bumper. Doing so made the push bar look normal height. Angle grinder and sparks everywhere

Changing out my rear control arms. They were being stubborn so we resorted to more exciting measures...

I swapped out the 5.4L gas-sucker in my 2003 EB for a 1980s era Cummins 4BT diesel-burner and manual trans. Did all the fab work, wiring, planning, and plumbing myself. I traded lunches for some machining.

Take out the 5.4L:



Insert 4BT:


Add clean air, fuel, cooling water, intercooler, wiring, solve some "gee, I didn't think of that one" problems, and we're done:


I have about 30,000 miles on the swap now. Still working fine and it is a hoot to drive.
