What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

[lil_Blue_Ford]

Worked on repairing a leaf spring on the red Ranger. Was almost successful, but I couldn’t find my u-bolts in the dark. That is the last bit of the puzzle so we’ll give it another go tomorrow.

I installed a step to get into the bed easier, this old guy needs an assist getting the legs/foot up on the bumper.......

The 2019 4X4 truck tailgates are pretty high up. I might have to get one of those.

Made a mount for my MSD box and Holly coil.

Red Ranger got the leaf spring repair finished, new brake line and tire repaired. Going to put the bed back in place tomorrow and go back to working on the green Ranger, lol

I had tore the interior out of my 90 2.3L turbo ranger because it had sat for Soooo long (like 10 years), that the emergency brake was frozen and rusted in place. Tearing out the dash revealed hidden rust below the windshield..have to fix in the future. Just got he dash back in today. Should have a pile of screws left over once I think it's "done". Should have it together tomorrow enough to maybe take it for a spin and a bit of tuning.

Drank some bud lights, n thought about the mess I got myself into shoving a 347 in a 4 popper ranger

Red Ranger is back together. Of course now the brake light is on and the front calipers feel like they are sticking a little. Plus it rained most of the day which the weatherman said would not happen which made things more interesting

Got the timing chain adjusters changed on the 2011. Of course the hard one to get to is the one that leaked. I got it sorted but Murphy’s Law as usual.

Used the sploder to rearrange the trailer situation in the shop, moved the boat I was trying to get rid of out of the way, drug my new tool box to the driveway and got it off the trailer (interesting with just an engine hoist... tool box casters were 1/4" too short to clear the hoist legs...) and into the garage temporarily. I moved the '97 out of the way in the driveway and looked at the '90 but didn't physically touch it...

 

[2drxploder]

Cleaned, sanded, painted a few more parts. Put b303 cam in, timing chain, oil pump, pan. Went to o'rip-offs in the oil burner to get some brake kleen, batteries r weak from sitting, will charge tomorrow

Working on finishing up the factory alloy wheel centers w/an added touch. Not chrome of course, but they sure look good against the aluminum.
Compliments to Krylon & junkyard steering wheel emblems.

Did some MS1 V3 tuning. Discovered my thermostat had become weak ( I wonder how that is possible when all it did was sit for years on end) so it made doing some of the tuning more difficult because it wouldn't get to temp. Then discovered my blower motor resistor was quite corroded. Have these fixed tomorrow for some more tuning. Really running good, even with the antiquated MS1.
