Cliff's Notes....
Back in the day I had to leave the Forum for PTSD-Related problems.

Jim Oaks has been great about re-registering me in my Original thread, and my Forum Friends have been (as usual) encouraging me, since it takes hours to match original pics up with original posts/replies.

I've been trying to find enough original build pics to replace the pics that Photobucket deleted :pissedoff:

I also have found a few dozen pics of the TRS BANNER ACROSS AMERICA 2010-2012-2015. I am updating them into my thread along with build pics of my '89 Ranger Conversion.

If anyone has some of my pics saved please post them in my thread Just Plain Stupied. It's located in the "Ford Trucks and SUV's Forum. I'll copy and paste them in the correct posts/replies.

Also...if you know of any TRS sub-forums that have any of my build pics or any TRS Banner related pics, please copy and paste them in my thread so I can include them.

I'm up to page #200 with reposting pics...there are some gaps that I hope to fill in as I find more CDs of my build.

Holy smokes! Very glad to see you back with us DG!! :yahoo::yahoo:

I can try looking but I don’t think I have anything saved that can help, but even if you can’t recover it all, I’m definitely glad to see you back!

Welcome back, we've missed you around here. We've wondered how you're doing many times over the years. I think we almost had an expedition put together a few times over the years to go search Lousaina for you.

Sorry, but I don't have any pictures saved of your build, wish that I did. Have you tried to get back into your photobucket account? Mine was still there as of a few months ago. A lot of picture links to it are broken, but the pictures were still there. I downloaded nearly all of them while I Still could.

Thanks You Guys! I'll try PhotoMuckit to see if they kept any of my pics. Meanwhile...I want to restore the thread as much as possible before I update you guys on the Red Ranger. (I still have to "pace myself" to keep my little brain focused)

EDIT: "Aparrotly"...I deleted my old P.B. account. I tried for an hour to find it.

If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
Place wasn’t the same without you

I tried several times to log in, but.............
Last month I had an idea to join the Forum with a new Username...Jim O. and the Moderators helped me get back to my Original Account



They keep wanting to delete mine.

I understand. I had a screaming fit when I logged onto my thread last month and saw every pic deleted!!!!!
So far it has taken nearly a month to find enough original pics around the house. Maybe the thread will make more sense now. (I'm still searching for the Dream Beam 3" Drop Axle pics...along with about 30 other missing pics PHOTOMUCKET off::pissedoff:

I just logged into my pb account, hadnt been on it in years. Theres a lot missing. Like all the photos of the “axle seal replacement” that I did a write up on, all the photos of the ‘88 s/c I had. Oh well. I saved the pictures I wanted to my phone, might just delete the account now.

Just make sure you save the pics on a CD or ZipDrive also....or both. Some of my CDs were so corrupted from my old laptop going bizerk that I couldn't restore every pic.

Oh yeah.....more good news!
The first Engine-Transmission Test Video that I lost 7 years ago popped up on an old CD I found in a shoebox.
The engine and transmission were tested at the same time....talk abouta blast from the past!

I posted the video on PG. #6 and a few other places of my thread. :yahoo:

Does one of us need to lock the door on this thread now? Lol

Glad to hear you got it straightened out though, that’s dedication to go through and fix all of that!
