pulled the 2.5L out of it getting ready to put a 2.3 in it as soon as i get the money (2.5 blow up) and the 2.3 is cheaper

 

Built a home made transfer case skid plate

 

Went to mu local U-pull today with a buddy to pick up a tail light wiring harness for his truck. While he was pulling out his parts, I ended up spotting myself a couple of parts:

From left to right; a center console for bench seat with cup holders (I'm now at 4 front cup holder), an explorer radio bezel and an explorer overhead console.

Here is the center console installed:


Here is the overhead:


I havent yet gotton the the explorer bezel.
Does anyone know why there is a Vehicule Speed input on the overhead console. And, where is the VSS on a 2011 Ranger, with 4.0L it 5R55E automatic trans, 4x4

 

Plasti dipped the chrome trim rampage led low pro brake light Installed a bully net and watched it get drenched in rain at work

 

What's the plug adaptor for by the catch all hole ,my rig has one ,,thank you

 

i really like that skid plate

 

I fail to see what adaptor you are talking about. Is it the plug to the right of the ESP button? If so, thats a 3.5mm Aux In plug

 

Thanks man! Went wheeling a couple of times since the install, hit it hard once, and it is still straight :D

 

yeah it looks thick i wish my ranger was 4x4 but they didnt make many 4 cylinder 4x4 and the ones they did make cost alot to buy

 

Its 3/16'' thick steel so its pretty hardcore compared to the OEM skid plate which is less than 1/8th

Also for your truck, I would not like to see gas milage on a 4cyl 4x4, must be atrocious

 

finished this a week ago. custom shelf to mount the sub box.

 

my boss as a ranger 4cylinder 5 speed 4x4 he gets 25-28 mpg i get 28-33 with my 2wd

 

Rear drum brakes having be squeaking like crazy, so I took them off and gave them a nice spray down with some break cleaner. Seems to be a little better, but they will probably have to be serviced soon and greased up.

 

last night me and my buddy went to go pick up a 96 dodge ram 4x4 v8 8" lift with 35" tires pulled it with my 2.3 5 speed ranger went around a curve the streeing wheel locked on the ram went into a dich and flipped on it side we used my truck to flip it back over(the dodge had a bad tranny btw)file:///C:/Users/jake/Desktop/10494834_761970560521168_1827314945037740420_n.jpg

 

Installed new 06+ corners. They look so much better than the all amber ones!

 

Friday night I finished wiring for the 7-pin trailer connection and my electric brake controller. Saturday I took the mini tractor and 24' trailer across town. What a difference between having trailer brakes and none.

sanded and repainted my running boards with semi gloss rustoleum.

 

Did the fuel filter on my 04 today.. man! was that thing dirty. It looked like coffee in there instead of gas, nasty.

 

Looks sick! I have been searching the internet for a pair of 06+ but can't find anything cheap enough. My local junk yards don't let you pull and the only one that does is 45 minutes away.

 

Changed the oil/filter in the Ranger at 290k miles. New spark plugs and wires, those where bad. Runs like she just rolled off the plant assembly line.

 

The cheaper you go the shittier they'll be and quicker they'll fog lol.
I always get mine from certifit

 

took it out for a spin in the woods!

 

you know that there are hitch mounted winch plates available

 

I got these from Rockauto. Haven't had any issues with them fogging up. Going to mod them soon though.

 

I always forget about RockAuto! Just looked them up, $60 for both shipped is insanely well priced. I'm adding this to my "To-Buy without telling the wife" List. Lol. Want power options first. HM!
