Well the wasp got tired of living in my gas door so he decided to go on the other side of the truck and live on the weather striping in between my doors. This guy loves rangers too. I'm going to consider him to be a theft deterrent for the right side of the truck.

Put the rear seats back in and removed the subs, put the rear panel back on and its only just after noon... Still need to swap the radio and front speakers back to stock, that should be another hour or 2 with the distractions....

Didn't realize how bad I needed to vacuum this thing out until now, never noticed all the junk in the extended cab area just collects ....

Will sell the ARE top and probably the speakers on here soon...

If I right click the little logos and click "display in new window" it works. But I found a different way that I'll try next time, it should display right away then.

Well i got my new raditor from Speedway, The right one this time and it looks great! Started to remove the old one friday evening, then finished the job saturday. Lots of work cutting the metal and making it big enough for the new one. The old one was 18x19 and the new one 19x26! Got it done and put in new thermostat 180 , had to cut up a long hose to get it to fit on the bottom , But now she will idial and not run hot and drive with no problems hitting it hard, stays right around 180 to 190! Thats great now i can drive it on trips and not worry about it running hot!

Replaced idler pulley and serp belt (had the wretched rattling tensioner noise at idle), did the airbox mod, cleaned the MAF, and did the throttle cable mod. With the latter 3 I gained a noticeable increase in power. I also like the noise the absence of the "noise reducer" makes, sounds cool :)

Finished my composite upper intake swap yesterday, finished the EGR delete last weekend and I finished working the last of the bugs out of the swap today. Truck runs great and the swap turned out great.
