Got as cheap keyless entry kit off ebay, it works great!



I felt that my gauge cluster looked a little nasty, so polished it up some



Looks brand new!



Got some blue 194's for the gauges



Installed, kind of a fuzzy picture, but I think it looks awesome



Noticed my tail lights are looking old and faded, so I polished them and applied some wood floor oil, it soaks in and keeps them shiny, now they look brand new!





Going to do the same thing with my front marker lights as well

I finally found a good manual 1354, and the wrecking yard chick was nice enough to paint all over it



Replacing the stupid trans cross member with the rubber bushings for the one that bolts to the frame



Ford and their stupid fawking rivets

Rebuilt the rear driveshaft, although with my luck it'll probably still be noisy as hell.

Old axle is out! It was a noisy son of bitch. The pinion bearing sounds like an plane taking off



New axle(well, old, been sitting in my shed for years). 4.56 and a Lockrite



Installed!



The ol' Ranger Lean, going to need to fix that when I get new leaves

Usually they lean to the driverside unless the picture is lying to me.

It is leaning to the drivers side. It might have something to do with the fuel tank AND my fat ass always sitting on that side. :icon_thumby:

This weekend I am going to look for some explorer leafs, and perhaps add some longer shackles. I'd really like to get rid of the factory blocks.

Also, the hunt for a two piston'd brake caliper dana 35 continues...not one at any of the local pick a parts...

Picked up this little guy from the local classifieds. There is a guy in Lehi doing an SAS on his 93 Explorer, leaf sprung. I told him to join TRS so he can be part of our little garbage RBV club...we'll see if he shows up.

Now, it is not a twin pot caliper axle, which I haven't even found one yet anyway, but, I can always do that swap later. This was great because I didn't have to pull it while laying in gravel at one of the stupid pick-n-pull's around here.

Now I get to clean it up and make it look pretty :annoyed:
