I put a class III hitch on the rear of my ranger. I keep a receiver with a 2" ball on it in the cab next to a ammo box filled with 25' of 3/8" chain. On the front of my truck the previous owner put on a tow bar to flat tow the ranger, its a great recovery point as well.

the front tow bar

how i work at night. i thought this up after spraypainting in the garage...... which ill never do again.....being high off paint sucks

last night adjusting the headlights on the ranger(my chevy is next to it.....)

 

[wrecking-crew]

messed with the orange ground wire and it runs less rich but just because i can im replacing the o2 sensor. im also going to get a small video of the engine running tomarrow morning. i want someone to tell me if its an injector or lifter. its been bothering me

 

[wrecking-crew]

ok, im getting the o2 fixed tomarrow. im also going to start getting the body panel for replacing the old bondo job probably wed or thurs. im also going to save some money for a new dual friction clutch and a full set of tires. might even get some pipes for the exhaust and bend em myself.

 

[wrecking-crew]

ok, i changed that o2 sensor and guess what? i get better milage now and more power. now i gotta get rid of my old coolant

 

[wrecking-crew]

well, im taking off all the aluminum bars and refinishing them. and while im doing that ill also change the coolant. ill be getting the cab corner off the donor next week.

also, did 3:41 gears come in the d28s?

 

[wrecking-crew]

[wrecking-crew]

im looking at getting some better lights. any suggestions?

 

[wrecking-crew]

well, i picked up an 87 tb from the jy and im getting a lighted visor, woodgrain dash, and bed rail covers from the jy prolly tomarrow when i get paid. dont know how much but im friends with the parts guy so he'll prolly drive his truck to mine and ill load in the more expensive stuff without the bitch of a parts counter lady charging me alot.

sadly the tb came from a 87 stx......that i wanted to buy the first day it was there.

 

[Mechanickid]

Hey man. Good progress on your truck! It looks sharp. I knife edged my 87 TB and I think it helped. Its funny I have the same truck as you and I did most of the same mods. I went to extralights.com and got some projector lamps for my 88. Idk if I really like them or not yet...

 

[wrecking-crew]

i got 2 stx emblems now. prolly going to put them on after my paintjob though.
that and im wondering if i should make a custom hitch or buy one

 

[wrecking-crew]

im thinking of removing the jump seats and making the areas they were in for storage. if i dont do that i still got another "new" set of jump seats. anyone know how to make a door setup for it?
