i'm about to start putting juice on my 03 and need to know what can go and what needs relocating.there are only a few thing on the passenger side like the windshield washer tank but the driver side has what someone told me was a thing for ABS brakes.can i be gone or relocated?some info would be nice.

you just putting on hydros or are you bodydropping it too? when we did mine, we removed the windshield washer tank, relocated the coolant overflow, removed all of the heat and ac components on the passenger side. we also moved the battery. on the driver's side, we removed the ABS and moved the fuse box. Depending on how low you go and if its bodydropped, you can probably just relocate the fuse box and the abs. I took mine off b/c im running toyota brakes in the front that are non-ABS so i didnt need it anyways. You may not have to remove as much as I did. mine is bodydropped on 20s. Alot depends on how low you and what size wheel/tire you are using.

pretty much everything under my hood has been either moved or relocated. i have hardly anything at all from the frame rails outward.

well on the ranger i did i put in a geo metro brake booster and master cylinder and rid of the ABS..needed the 7" unit for clearence of a 20" wheel thats one way to fix your problem and give you a lot more clearence at the firewall..the other stuff is cake to move around.I imagine your gonna get tons of lift on the front of that thign with juice post up pics when your done

how well did that ranger stop using the geo metro brake components? i am already using toyota brakes in the front which are alot smaller than ranger brakes. i want to make sure ill be able to stop it ok.

It definately wasnt the same as before its only obvious going from a 10" or bigger booster to a 7" your looking that much more vaccum space inside.But it was a sacrifice to lay on a 20" wheel..It was done with the stock 98+ front suspension djm modded arms tons of camber laid out...im guessin you swapped to the yota front clip?so you prolly got less maybe the booster wont be an issue for you i did it a while ago so dont relaly remember how close things were to the booster but know it was a must to change with 20s and factory front.
