Also picked up some ' other ' items. New short throw shifter to modify for the new tranny..
I did some *healthy* damaging to the CC's.

I called Hillbank Motorsports, and the T-Bolt sway kits and Roush kits are the identical same parts. I guess the T-Bolt kits are in plain Ford boxes, while the Roush ones come in their box (and probably include some decals and stuff). It's also cheaper to order direct from them (as Bob said), since it's free shipping and you don't have to deal with eBay. Hopefully, I'll be installing mine around Christmas time.

2002~2005 Ranger mirrors are easy. Just rock the mirror to the full "UP" and "IN" position to expose a gap under the bottom.
Then insert a flat blade screwdriver in the rectangular opening under the plastic mirror base from the bottom. Gently twist the screwdriver to pop the glass carrier off. Takes about 15 seconds once you know how:
Here's what the inside of the housing looks like with the mirror popped off. Notice the two slots at 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock where the anti-vibration springs ride:
Here is the back view of a heated mirror but the original Ranger mirror looks similar. You want to pry where shown, NOT at the other rectangular opening that you can see near the lower edge of the mirror:
When reassembling, be sure to line up the two anti-vibration springs in their slots. Then just use even pressure to snap the mirror back onto the adjustment platform in the housing.

Either way, my Gibson is still doing ok. I'm also concerned that my 2.3 won't flow enough air to keep the flow correct. Most of the dual systems are really designed for the 4.0.
