Wow, I cant believe that its been almost 4 months since I posted in my thread.


Yeah, lately I have been working on a 1993 F250 extended cab diesel. I plan on getting back to the ranger after I finish up this other truck.

install batteries,
install Tcase shifter
repair bed, (it got ucgly with the torch removing the bed bolts......)
tighten all suspension fasteners (put it together last night, couldnt use the impact cause of the noise)

The only intention i have for that truck is to sell it. I think I can get about 4000 for it.


Did some work on the ranger,

replaced left front axle shaft,
replaced right hub
replaced right mirror
bypassed heater core isolation valve
vacuumed out inside and in the bed
bent drivers beam pivot bracket back...... a solution to that weak bracket has been devised, just need to fab it.


Wheeling tomorrow. Pics to follow.
