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

[Curious Hound]

And how big of a tire can I fit again?

Looks to be around 56-60 inches














And NO fender trimming!

 

[Xrundan]

Installed new UCAs, LCAs and shocks.

Plumbed and installed a new air filter, then spent a few hours doing a write up on the most recent big thing I've done to it

Painted the grill white to match the body. I think it looks better. Thoughts?

Drove the 2011 to Greensboro, SC on Monday and back today from a convention I attended.

Some years, a matching grill looks good and others, not so much. I think yours looks good. I don't think my 2011 or 2019 would look good with a matching grill.

I was thoroughly disappointed to learn that the ranger got a facelift from the 1992 year. My explorer of the same year had the big boxy grill and I really liked that look. The face on the truck is too… car-like? Modern? Mazda-influenced?

Finished this after work today.

the plastic plate inside the arm rest was cracked, I assume from being leaned on when getting into the truck.

so I made one out of 1/8” stainless.

I originally welded it together backwards, so it took me a couple tries.

Trouble shoot over charging issue and fuel gauge not working. No joy. Cussed and swore at her. Threatened to part her out. Ordered new voltage regulator and parked her in the side yard so she can think about the things she’s done. bad bad Abby

I do like the square body lines better myself. The 2011 isn’t too bad with the way they handled the grill work and body panels. Depending on the angle, the 2019 doesn’t look bad either but head on, it definitely has a car like appearance to it.

the new ones look just like the escape. that is what kept my wife from getting one when they first came out. she wanted to trade her 2018 ruby red scape in for a four door truck and they had a brand new rudy red ranger on the lot, first one we had ever seen. we got in it and the wife said no way. why would i want another escape?

from the front seat belt forward, it is a ford escape. (minus of course, the rwd versus fwd)

I dropped my 1999 4.0 narrow bed off at the shop to get a new tranny put in it, have had no reverse for a few months no lol

That would have made backing out of a parking spot just slightly challenging.

Got the driver's side airbag replaced under the Takata recall. The Ford dealer had said it could take 3 hours to do the work, but the tech got it done in 1 hour. Must have had plenty of practice.

That’s why you have a copilot. Manual reverse.
