Ranger questions and updates
Hey guys, man it's been slow around here! Someone crash or something! (not really, drive safe)
Anyway, I am in my full swing of summer truck work and here is my list or questions and comments:
Timing belt in a few weeks via a buddy while I am out of town. I bought a water pump for him to put in while he has is apart today. Should I have him do the thermostat also?
Undercoating. Yippee. What a mess on my driveway. Welcome to rust-belt, saltville, oh.
Is $330 a good deal for a 8.8 inch 4.10 L/S out of a 03 FX4 Level II (for sure a Torsen)? I found one about 15 minutes away at a junk yard that I am getting ready to jump on.
If I decide to get a new two-tone paint job should I get the newer Redfire Metallic with Dark Shadow Gray or stick with my factory Toreador Red Metallic with Dark Shadow Gray?
Which bumper/valence mix should I go with? 01-05 chrome bumper with 04-05 square fogs or a painted 06+ bumper with 06-07 square foglights?
And what side mirrors should I do? Defiantly 06+ but should I get chrome caps or painted caps.
Where can I get new OEM leaf springs from? Mine are super saggy, plus I need to so the shackle hangers soon anyway.

See what I mean about out it being dead.
Let me reword and emphasize my two MAIN questions:
