The fact that I don't have my solid axles under there yet.
The wires running everywhere under the carpet suck.
The fact that I still have carpet.
The fact that I still have doors.

And the fact that I still have a bed and what I consider too long of a wheelbase.

I need to get to work!

 

I'm not siked on the recent squeaking in the cab, the bushings at the botom of front shocks squeaking, not yet turbo'd, haven't done a 08 front end swap yet, No sunroof mod yet, Haven't got the 3infabtech spindle lift with an AAL, still got the 7.5 rear with 3.73s, Hole in the cupholders from body lift mod(loud in the cab), no rhinoliner, no 08tailgate, no shaved bumper, small dent above back right wheel well, No headers, No cold air intake, no sliders, only 33x10.5 BFGs, No gap guards for BL, Not to the point yet where i can get it painted deep dark red, no bucket seats with center console, no system in the cab,

 

I Love my truck though because it's got 50,000 miles and is in great condition, and get some compliments here and there about it. I'd like to sandblast and bedliner the frame though. That'd be nice.

 

rack and pinion is leaking check engine light is on and i don't know whats causing that damn dtcs a growling noise from the front end and both the wheel bearings are new and still good. tranny doesn't shift right though i have been getting better mileage since the check engine light is on cuz its running lean. wanting the problems to be fixed so i can feel good about buying a body lift rather than the necessary truck parts

 

Its slow.

 

milage... horn. havnt started my bumper and have had the mat. scince april(FTL)

want LT sus. fibers 9" with 4.56's and matching fronts and 35's

 

I have to replace my pinion seal, and need new shocks ugh, but I still love it

 

That I dont have it anymore.

 

oh i frogot my pinion seal leaks too on the front and i need to change the fluid in it

 

well im glad to see that my truck's not the only one that needs a little "loving".. haha here's my list:

-water pump gasket (or water pump not sure yet)
-front axle shaft u-joints
-driver's door panel rattles
-bumpers are tweaked
-tailgate is tweaked
-havent fixed the side of it yet from when i slide into a chain link fence pole(did a gooder on that one... have pics if interested)
-broken rear leaf springs
-rear passenger hub is bent (course gotta replace the axle shaft too)
-ball joints are worn
-needs tires
-the fact that i smashed a brand new taillight.. yup replaced the **** once already..
-that its not lifted
-thats its not loud enough.. (was thinking of straight piping it soon)
-and that its not a brand new one... haha
-it has some scratches from wheeling it up mountains
-the fact it has stock tires
-the fact that i cant put my offset chevy s15 rims on it
-the fan is about to go

hmmm what else... ya my truck needs some loving, but its kind of hard to do when you dont have a job.. i can get the leaf springs, front axle shaft u-joints,water pump off a friends explorer that he's scrapping.. probably will take his stock steel rims too for winter..

 

Put an engine in it. Got a PATS fault code...yay(thats's a sarcastic yay).

 

I have to take it to the dealer to find out why the parking, tails, fogs, and dash illumination don't work. I tried replacing the headlight switch, but that didn't solve the problem. And I can't find a fuse for any of that.

 

That I still have the 01. Its a nice truck, but I would like to put the money from payments towards my savings account.

And that I dont have the 98 back together yet.

 

engine knock
sqeaking driver's side wheel
scratched up paint
10% crappy tread tires

 

blown shocks, eats gas, looks like hell, loud breaks, ac vent issue, oil change situation, tail light's blown out... gd i need a new ride. :/

 

Theres an annoying rattle somewhere in the dash, havent found it yet.

 

The fact that I haven't finished anything but the carpet removal and wires since last august

Great.....

 

i hate the fact that mines been in storage since november and i miss driving it.

 

That I got beat in a race by a damn Saturn sl1. My truck has no power. Oh and also that my clear coat on the roof and hood is peeling

 

Just the little rattle I still have behind the lower center of dash. And that's all.

 

God this is a long list for me...
spark knock like no other.....no its not a diesel
SSLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWW assssss truck...seriously, my dads pt cruiser is faster
electronic t-case that sux
atrocious mileage
Vacuum HUBS--- REALLY SUCK (except not)
the horn is so weak I don't want to use it so no one will laugh at me
TINY CAB with TINY ARM RESTS that dont fit my whole elbow!! and not enough leg room, and no lumbar support that makes long drives painful
paint job keyed down both sides

other than that, its great...

 

I never "hate" anything about my ranger, but I do have an annoying squeak coming from the front when I turn my wheels that I havent gotten take care of yet :(

 

that it sounds identical to my friends civic at 4 grand.
that my friends VW rabbit gets more power out of a smaller engine.
that the window cranks rattle and squeak no matter what you do or how much WD40 you use.
that there's never anything in truck magazies for us.
that my grandma's minivan sits at the same height.
that my CD player can only read mp3 discs if they're techno or gangsta rap, no metal.
that it has awesome bass, unless you want to listen at any considerable volume.
that everything is so ******* expensive for it.

 

welcome to owning a ford

 

The lift is still not completed…
Wheel Bearing Packs - one bad one making noise, replaced two - $500…
Upper and Lower ***** Joints, MOOG Over-Sized Joints on top - $200…
New U-Bolts for the New Leaf Springs and no blocks - $60…

Too much money that wasn’t planned on…

Finished truck lifted with 33 KM2s - priceless…

Although this isn’t something the Ranger did, it is something I hate about the truck right now, $$$.
