'85 Ranger Restomod

I looked at that link earlier and saw there's off brand versions for $14, I should probably get one... 3.5" bearings sound like it might be able to handle D60 bearings... and a supply of marine grease (unless there's a real downside... other than price I'm not seeing an important one for general purpose wheel bearings)

I put candy out for the little POS's... apparently not quick enough.



Yup, decided to take the ol' girl to the Creepy Crawl. It has pretty much been waiting for a trip and not really needing much.

Checked header bolts, checked trans oil, checked tire pressure, set the clock from the big wiring overhaul, put the Trasharoo on, update GPS, resynced my phone since I got a new one like 2 months ago etc. She is in theory ready for battle. Its never pulled a trailer very far and personally I have never pulled a trailer this far either. Test runs to the lake at 80* it was cooling fine though.



My good LED lights are in the camper so I had to resort to my old school light. Yes it isn't a incandecent oil burner but dang does this thing suck. It was awesome back when I used it to build like 80% of my truck (engine swap until like 5 years ago)
