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

[Naddanme]

Fixed a power steering leak and did some cleaning. Didn’t get much done because I ended up going into work for 6 hrs.

I took the red 97 to the N pullapart cuz they got in an 88 Signature Town Car. I didn’t really need anything, but I always like to scavenge because they’re getting scarcer than hens teeth.

I bought the grill to see if it would work better on the 87 Missing Linc, but when I got home it’s just too big and gaudy, i’ll stick with the one I already modified.

I found two intact fold down center arm rest/consoles for the 93 seat going in the 87, but the Allen screws were frozen solid and all I had was one of those folding Allen sets. I’m sure they won’t go anywhere cause I can’t imagine anybody else can get them off either. I go back in a couple days.

There were some center caps I passed up, but I think I’m going to grab them too.

And help me out on this one, I searched the threads but couldn’t find it, who is the guy who was looking for the 7 foot first GEN bed? There was a pretty rough one there. I figure it’s got to be worth $1000, because it had $900 of bondo in it! There are two other pull a parts in Atlanta, E & S, and the guy behind the counter told me they have a half a dozen of the first GEN’s in the south. I’ll run by there later this week.

The red Ranger pulled yard duty again today, moved an old oil tank and bunch of larger scrap steel over to my shed so it can get cut up, plus a couple little things. Darn thing is handier than my lawn tractor with cart for moving stuff around

These days, a lot of folks just get a gift card or something silly and give it as a gift, with no thought at all, no connection to the person to be honored. In a few weeks I’ll be here a year, and I think I’ve gotten to know several of you fairly well, and how could you not know @Dirtman ! So, from the heart, I’m going to send you the plans for my soup supporter.

Happy Birthday Dirtman!

Best to you too @scotts90ranger ! I don’t know you well enough for such well thought out profound wishes...

& sincerely, may all His blessings be upon you now and into the future.

Rick

I just changed the oil and checked the air in my tires.

Finally got annoyed enough to swap the shifter knob over to the older one I had in the glovebox. No more rattle when I hit 50+ mph, if your shifter knob rattles and you don't do anything about it you just may be.... lazier than me.

scheduled a windshield replacement. $363. ouch. Needs to be done though, soon the one crack will span clear across.

Ouch is right!! The glass shop in my local pull a part put in a brand new windshield, not a used one, for $165 a couple months ago. Might want to shop around...

Pullapart.com. They have a lot of locations across the country

 

[racsan]

Don't forget to check the oil and change the air in the tires in 2,500 miles.

Pull-A-Part is a good place. Getting harder to find the older stuff in Nashville tho. I've been hitting them up for Ranger parts since their ad was all women and the slogan was "Best little strip joint in town.". Honestly wasn't sure what to expect the first time I went. Figured since it was me at 18 and my dad it'd be ok either way.

Found a new air intake tube for the 3.0l since mine is cracked and glued back together. Drove it a couple miles to fetch beer and the covid shot.

Beware the sticky fenders in Nashville...
