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

[Rick W]

I cant wait to crush whats left

if that’s the original radio, even if it doesn’t work 100%, it’s valuable. Ditto if I’m seeing a CD changer in the glove box.

On the whole car, email to the guys at Buckhead Motor Works in Atlanta, Tony if I remember right, and tell him what you’ve got. His shop keeps the vintage Beamers on the road like they just came out of the show room, but he’s usually starving for certain parts. I think if you reached out to him, it might be worth your while.

as always, my two cents, hope it helps

You spelled "it's best to deal honestly with people" wrong, kind sir.

Please change your signature. You seem to be some kind of alien species, which I fully welcome to our planet as whatever race or gender you choose. The problem is you seriously do not know what sarcasm is which makes your signature confusing. It's not your fault, mars and all. Just giving you a heads up. I still love you though.

Hey, @Dirtman

I appreciate the support, but I am absolutely fine, I’m not upset.

Don’t chastise this guy, he’s probably a cool guy, but like you and the rest of the guys, he probably never ran up on the likes of me! I can assure you when you get to know me better, I am a complete train wreck!

I apologize to everybody if my statement was political, I’ve been cautioned about that before, that is not my intent at all. My intent is simply the way mama raised me, to know right from wrong, and to speak out about both. Maybe I’ll cross that political line right now, but I wasn’t being sarcastic about “woke.” Forgive me for that one, please & thanks!

And I hope you are all soundly sleeping as I write this. This hasn’t kept me up, I do do international work, and I was just on the phone with the heathens on the other side of the world. They have no weekend there!!!

I am humbled to be with you guys, I hope I’m not overbearing.

Day is done, now it’s Rick’s time...

I'll put a ford sticker on it over the german trash truck logo......

[Sarcasm]
I'm gonna go cry now. "German trash truck" some days I work hard to get those trash trucks painted properly. I think they'renice cars and fun to drive even if they do cost almost as much as a sheet of 3/4" cabinet grade maple veneer plywood.[/sarcasm]

OMG, I hope we’re not gonna have to write “sarcasm“ before everything we say that is sarcastic. My text still be four times as long....

Leaving for my 100 mile trip to the desert to deliver the harness and computer. Will be good to get back on the road.

Make sure you come back!!! Send a few pictures to guys like me who can’t do something like that!!

Don't forget to bring a towel!

Went to a car show to look around. Thought about taking the ranger but didn't want to mess with moving the car seat.

Now I gotta switch the car seat.

Your truck rust proofs itself! Neat!

It also sings songs! Lots of bass thumping and humming.

Not sure what the heck is going on, bled to death and lost teeth, lock bolt came out and pinion shaft is on the move (shouldn't effect pinion seal though I wouldn't think)

I was thinking pinion seal is what let the oil escape.

If it’s 50s or 60s, leave it like it is. If it’s disco or rap, trash it!

Heavy metal?

Tow truck guy couldn't get it to move and dragged it on. I wonder if the pin ended up sitting vertically and slid out more just sitting there.

Always fun when you are eating lunch out of town and your truck rolls up on a rollback because the driver happens to decide to grab lunch at the same place.

Seems like it might be time for a junk yard axle. Bummer. You didn't have anything more important or more fun to do. Did you? Like putting a camper back together?
