I agree. I bet the brakes feel much better now. Those old ones look like something Tyler would do!

Default What did you do to your ranger today thread IV

Called the shop my truck is at. They've had it a solid 3 weeks. All of the body work and paint is done but they are still waiting to send it out to an exhaust shop. Also kinda shocked that this place fixing it (a ford dealership) doesn't know a thing about car parts. My truck is an 07, and they ordered an 08 tail light for it (and got the wrong tail light) but they were surprised that my truck has 06 tail lights on it....I shouldn't even have to explain why that shows how knowledgeable they aren't about parts. But I'm not trying to bash the shop. I just hope my truck looks good it's been rough without it

I've never let them get that bad and i had all the stuff to do the job for a couple weeks now but i was waiting til we took our Christmas break where i work. We get off 2 weeks so i figured it would be best that way if i couldn't get everything done in one day i could just leave my truck sitting in the driveway.


Edit- and now its full on raining and i have now cover or possible cover to use so i put one of the old drums over the passenger side rear and moved all the hardware inside

Changed the oil and rotated the tires

My grandfather helped me rotate my tires last and damn near Hercules tightened the lug nuts on the driver side

Right now I'm in the middle of cleaning up my rear axle and pulling slack in all the lines. I relocated my diff breather, and curious if there was dirt plugging it up, I sucked some air out of it, and immediately got a throat full of dirt.

At least the breather hose is clear? Haha

No bumper, no problem!



Eh, the exhaust doesn't bother me. When I first got the truck it was nice and silver all the way through. Again mud has destroyed this poor truck haha
