So here I am stuck on duty and my baby is at home with the front brakes off and setting on jack stands. Idk when I'll get a day off either. I've got a full day of work to do to her for hunting season.
Plus I've gotta work on my new dodge tow rig. I've gotta put the clutch, trans, new U-joints, rad hoses, serp belt, tensioner and pulley, fluids, fuel filter, drain the fuel tank, wash the air filter and put new tires on it.

parting out a 2001 Ranger ext cab XLT. we're taking the cab, doors and dash. rest is up for grabs cheap. let me know what you need.
Depending on how cheap I might be interested in the front seats and the front clip parts to convert a 93 to the newer front end.

And the pile of parts continues to grow. Picked up a set of waggy springs for the expo cause mine are shot and I'm grabbing the 60 u bolt kit on my way home today! Might buy a ruff shirt too boom.

Which I'm rapidly running out of. I'm about 1500 into parts in the last month. Need to get some wire wheels and pull the waggy springs apart to clean and grease them too.

Decided I'm going to weld my rear diff and run open front till I can afford a locker.
