Probably totalled the '90, unloaded it camping and when I pulled the 4 wheeler out of the bed a tailgate cable snapped, then I looked at the passenger wiper and it had a dangler...
just kidding, $30 on Amazon for a pair of cables and will get new wipers one of these days...
Other than that the Ranger did good wheeling, didn't get driven too much though but it was a trooper, still kicking myself for not making a traction bar sooner, such a game changer... on the way home the weather was dumb, it was windy as heck at camp loading up, below freezing camping in sand... some people checked the weather over the mountain passes, normal one was "tire chains required", the next closest was just wet pavement and 26 degrees so we went that way, then around Portland there was a freak snow storm above about 300' altitude... apparently like 4000 houses out of power and such... mine was fine, I'm further south...
