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

[89Twincharge]

Been in piping industry for almost 16 years.. tape male fitting and put a lil dope on after... Just like condom then lube

I drove it to Lowes to get a new chain for the chainsaw, but they were out of stock. I'll have to figure out who makes this particular model of Craftsman chainsaw and track down a chain that will fit.

What kind is it? Tractor supply or ace should have one.

Got a cap for $20. Need more black paint.

all cleaned up. Have to admit it's the first time it's been cleaned up since before I met Eric on the Traverse. Poor thing

It looks like Home Depot has it in stock.

Almost all Craftsman saws are made by Poulan if that helps any...

Just got back from taking the '90 Ranger wheeling in Christmas Valley Oregon again... went well, only one Ranger related snafoo... had a passenger and we were doing some spirited dune running and over one spot there was a loud BLAM and a shattering noise... one of the slider panes exploded... turns out the passenger seat back (Explorer buckets in a '90 regular cab... not enough room...) had been rubbing over the years and wore through the material to metal, looks like a while ago but hasn't been an issue until we hit just the right bump with just the right sized guy in the passenger seat . I'll have to grab one or two next time I hit the yard on half off weekend... for now I'll put in the lexan slider I made for the last window that that seat took out a decade ago (just changed the window in 2020...) Other than that the power steering seems weaker than it's been but I haven't checked the fluid level yet... the radius arm bushings are toast but I just need to build extended arms to fix that and other stuff...

Pictures or it didn't happen haha

It was like 11pm Friday night so no pictures, we stopped so he could get some glass pieces out of his shirt and I got out and laughed... Good times.

Apparently the Ranger has decent travel for the janky setup... I'm using exactly all of the up travel in the front shocks (the upper scraper seal deal isn't hurt from overcompressing). The bump stops (IE firewall and fenders) are good indicators you hit hard enough... I need to finish what I planned on doing like 10 years ago with the radius arms... I think I even have everything to do it aside for wire to wire up the welder and welder tanks so I don't have to use flux core...

Oh and I ended up fixing something on the Ranger while out wheeling , people were complaining about me only having license plate lights then it occurred to me that I had the bed off a while ago to change the shackle mount... turns out that's why the turn signals didn't work too!

The previously broken rear window was different than my current one... I took the piece of plexi out of the old one (haven't thrown it out yet, it's only been 2 years, leave me alone... LOL), so I did what any good redneck would do and held that piece of plexi in with two pieces of Gorilla tape... might add a third along the bottom, haven't decided yet... still wanted the other slider pane to slide...

I put gas in it and I changed the oil at like 154,000. I think it's due for an oil change soon. Who knows. I do like the ranger more than my s10. 4 banger ranger does have some sack, not much but some. That 2.2 s10 I had even with a new clutch could barely get out of the driveway.
