i was lookin thru some pics and saw the auto hubs and all I could think was EEEWWWW!!!! other than that its a nice little truck. makes me miss my pickup more now

 

[lil'_big_truck]

thanks all. So I got the hubs on today. It makes a huge difference. There is actually power going to the front wheels now. haha. Today was my first time driving the truck truly in 4x4 since I've owned it.

Hey, what mirrors are those for? i got the ugly type like you used to and they got a bad paintjob on them anyways, so i figure changing them to the type you got would make the truck look Waaaay better. or are they off of a splash?

/e: nvm i'm an idiot. >.> it's a power mirror

 

[lil'_big_truck]

actually, they're not power. they're from a 2007 ranger. they bolt right on with minimal tweaking.

hey all, so this weekend, a friend and I repaired my roll bar. Another friend of mine did just a terrible job welding it (he thought it would be a good idea to not use a mask) causing some welds to break after 2 years. So I had my friend reweld it the right way and its much better.

Hey all, One small update on the truck. I got new front lights because the old ones just decided that they didn't want to work anymore. Here's the pics:

hey all,

so my tires were getting rather worn and then I hit something and took a big chunk out of one of my tires. So I had to get new ones.

Hello all,

Today was a somber yet bittersweet day. Today I sold my ranger . It was the car to go and the timing was right. It has served me well these past 6 years but It's gone on to a new owner that I know will take as good of care of it as I did. Thanks all for all the help and support through my numerous projects and trouble-shootings. You've been a great resource. I'll still stay on for the beetle but even that project is near completion. anyway, I loved my truck, but it was time for it to go.

Sorry to see your Ranger go away. Been looking through your pics, and it's a good looking ride. You did a good job with it.
