well the day after i replaced my front leaf spring hanger brakets, i had a major fuel leak, pulled the bed and had to change out the pump/fuel pickup/sender assy. it was easier then the day before when i spent 8 hours cheiseling off rivits and getting new hangers and bushings on. must have bumped the rusty fuel connections on the top of the tank. oh well, thats yet another part i may never have to worry about again.

I removed my factory cassette and speakers with the audio that I had in previous Ranger. Let me know if you want to buy it... I hadn't even thought about selling it until I read your post.

Throttle cable mod, 2 zip ties fixed almost all the slack, I didn't want to use a 3rd cause I didn't want to overtighten

Made a huge difference in my throttle response.

Drove it a mile into the woods to jump off a dead Chevy. Then pulled a Yukon over a hill to get out of a pit. Good day for the Ranger!
