No AC, driver side ball joint is going, lift blocks in the front i just put in are sagging, leans to the left in the rear, and the bed keeps filling up with water because it wont stop raining! The worst part is that i can't fix any of this because I'm unemployed and since have become a mechanic for hire with all my friends and families cars.

The fact that my passenger door is rusting at the bottom despite the fact that I keep it pretty damn clean.

That and my gas mileage...

I hate that my truck runs like **** when it rains and I have replace almost everything I can possibly replace to fix it. That I won't get to drive my truck for 6 months while im at training, but on a positive note the truck will be stored inside of a heated building and hopefully getting a decent amount of body work and a new exhaust done while im gone.

dear ranger as of today...

i hate that you sound like a cat in heat trotting down the road every time i take a turn...
i hate that you sound like your packing a vibrator and a baby pig under your hood when it rains becuase your belt squeels so much...
i hate that everytime i tap your brakes the first few times after i turn you on that your tires lock up and i skid to a halt...
i hate that no matter what i do... you still make those noises...
i hate that your rusting faster than jennifer love hewitts ***...
i hate that i let my friend take a sawsall to your exaughst 4 years ago to put a new muffler on... and now your leaking everywhere uncontrolably from your exaughst...
i hate that you have less ***** than richard simmons with a wifebeater, shortshorts, and a pink arm scrunchy on...
i hate that the only females you attract happen to be deer...
i hate that your bumper sits more crooked than the eye of an asian, because of those deer...

still love you though...

Umm, just that I beat on the 98 too much when I was younger and less mature. Now it needs a lot of work.

Now I'm slowly replacing what was beat up/worn out. Needs a clutch, more power, and a paint job for starters(after replacing bed and doors).

You should look into James Duff traction bars, they've done wonders for my truck and a few others on here.
