AIRBAGS
Please help
Basically my airbags both deployed and they need to be replaced
I need to know the cheapest way i can do this, I'm pretty sure for the driver side i can take a sterring wheel out of another ranger and make it work
if you know anything about this, or what it should cost me, please help me out
thanks

First off your gonna need a new air bag module (anyone from a 01-03 Ranger). I think once air bags have been deployed, new ones will deploy if you don't replace the module. Location is behind your cup holder under the dash. Should have an arrow stamped on it and says "front of vehicle"
You don't have to replace the steering wheel. Just the air bag. If you pop off the plastic circles on the sides of the steering wheel you will see two 8 mm bolts. Remove these and you can remove the air bag.
As for the drivers side if you drop your glove box, push in the sides to lower it down more, you can see 2 goldish looking 8 mm bolts that go up into the passenger side air bag. Remove those and just pull the passenger side.
Probably gonna cost 100-200 dollars, maybe more.
Did you get in a wreck? What about insurance?

Offroading accident...
But what about all the sensors and whatnot?

you shouldn't need a scanner to read the airbag codes. the air bag light will flash a two digit code when the key is turned on. IE, flash 2 times, short pause, flash 7 times, long pause, repeat. it should repeat it a few times then stay solid. so that would be a code 27.
did you replace the seat belt pretensioners? if not, they will have to be replaced as well.
