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

[Rick W]

Yes, but I don't have smoke machine. Any suggestions?

Got this on eBay, just came in, I’m going to try it with a stogie tomorrow on the 87 towncar.

I picked up my wheel spacers with the 97 Red Ranger yesterday. I’m going to put them on the Mark V tomorrow to see if they’ll get rid of the tire rub, they’re 1.5 inch and right now I have two inches on it. They’re jeep adapters that I had to have the center bore opened up. Pictures tomorrow

 

[Dirtman]

New compressor, ac hoses, battery terminals w/ soldered ring eyes. And of course a few pics of my cuts for dirtman, not from the corner either.

Why did you not just get a short center console! You probably could have sold that one, bought a short one, and still had money left over!

 

[2drxploder]

Its came from my donor expo so free, started with little trimming, trying to let shifter poke through, trimming... well progressed. There are dozens of those consoles at my local junk yard. I would like to find a console from a explorer sport manual. With arm rest that always breaks

Threw some dollar store spray paint on the bare metal brackets I put on last week....

Red Ranger and F-150 got put to work again. Hauled a load of steel scrap after finishing loading the F-150 yesterday and a buddy drove the red Ranger up with my aluminum can scrap. Then it was more work on the tractor and my property.

Today the red Ranger is going to take me to do a little project, fetch some parts, and hopefully run me out to pick up tires and rims for my GF’s car and then out to her.

My back and hip, however, have not been amused by my antics lately

What is scrap paying there? I get a fair amount of both aluminum and steel.

Well I’d like to say I washed my Ranger. But after 2.5 hrs of dig mud out and pressure washing. I’ll settle for get most of the mud off.

Reminded me why I love my truck for trails but not so much for mud. There are a dozen mud scoop built into the front end.

 

[Naddanme]

I found one... I finally found one... And for only $23 dollars!!!

Sharp looking truck. It’s funny I’m running tactik Jeep rims on my 95 step side ranger too just different style.

 

[racsan]

You don't happen to be in the Otis area of MA, that happens to have a 413 area code are ya?

 

[Jazzer]

I was hearing a clunk on turns from the right front wheel, so I pulled the wheel and found the upper ball joint boot split in half, with 1/16” of slop. 2 year old Mevotech UCA with integrated ball joint, greaseable and regularly greased.

Ordered a greasable ACDelco UCA/ ball joint.

[Dirtman]

You can't put AC Delco parts on a Ford, it's illegal.
