Neat finds about the 84

[Ranger Kip]

Well, here we go, I finally got the damn fender off that truck and cleaned it up, it looked like new, bare in mind it was the rustiest thing on my ranger when we first bought the truck, but it also happens to be the best in condition part of that ENTIRE truck.

Filled up that dang back tire that likes deflating, looked dryrotted the way it was, but after the recommended 50 PSI, it looked like this:

Tread left:

I found this out on this website actually, Ford did multiple attempts to figh corrosion on select trucks, and I found out why my ranger was fully loaded and was so unique. It has the body upgrade with the rust resistant coverage, its 3/8" thick packed body mold (kinda like bondo) that is sealed to the panels of the truck. Its on the bedrails, middle door, and on the roof of the truck and the entire hood.

Neat?

Is that what your door jamb or the tire recommends Kip? If it's on the tire, that's the maximum safe pressure that should never be exceeded. It is also probably much higher than what is recommend on your ranger. My 84 B2 recommended like 30-35. Be careful inflating a tire that high...

The tire says 50 PSI, I put them at 40 and they seemed under inflated, these are some wierd tires, but they wear slowly.
