400 bucks for 1 ton of spare parts! I think that was a real good deal. LOL just kidding it looks perfect to me.

I think any work truck can be transformed into a nice ride. Here an example of how i have been accesorizing my work truck

Yeah I got tired of paying to rent one, now everybody wants to borrow it...lol

Well I'll need something to do when I'm done with yours...lol

She can't even remember all the rangers I have had, she doesn't care...lol

Nice looking truck!

 

Is that a 3.0 or a 4.0 and is it a manual or an auto?

 

It's a 3.0 automatic.

 

While I had some helping hands today I pulled the cap off of #26...

 

How do you keep track of all these? do you carve the number into the keys? i would have forget after ranger like 7.

 

I need to update the thread but this helps...

So you did finally buy this one. I remember you posting it up when I put up that CL find for the DWB 4x4 Off Road with no title.

Did this one have a title, I can't remember.

 

you could make some extra coin from that.....

nice find btw.

 

Yeah it has a title but I discovered the motor is froze up. Looking for a 3.0 if anybody hears of one...

 

I'll look for a 3.0 but in the meantime here is some wheels that I found last week.

16s for an Expo or Ranger 4x4

 

finally use up all those good 3.0s?

 

If they had some tread on the tires I might consider them..figures lol

Yeah I only have one that runs but it's done for. I either have to buy one, or a parts truck, or rebuild one... I'm hoping to find a parts truck

 

Hows it coming John?

 

Well I started getting it ready to pull the motor but then I got busy...lol Anyway my daughter thats in college was going broke putting gas in the sport trac so I did some shopping around and picked up a 03 neon for her to drive for 1000...pretty good deal but it needs a front bumper and drivers fender(picked them up today) and then started getting the sport trac ready to sell. Here's a couple cell pics...

 

damn i want that trac lol

 

A sport trac is probly the only vehicle I would trade my truck for. Lifted sport tracs are sexy.

 

I like it but I'm more of a truck guy and we have 3 cars so seating is not an issue...lol

does the neon make excessive engine noise ticking etc. upper cylinder head noise in particular?

 

Sport trac with a BL, roof rack, 33s on MT classic IIs = sexiest truck with a ford emblem on the road


If I had the money John I would buy it in a heartbeat.

 

Hey john I'll trade you a 98 ranger for the sport trac!!! lol

 

[QUOTE=04RangerDave;1851087]No no weird noises except a squeek in the back. This is our 4th Neon, we had a 98 , 01 and 2- 04's. The other 04 was almost new at the time. None of them made any engine noise and only minor problems like lower control arm bushings and a bad radiator seam on the 01.

Yeah a Trac can look awesome fixed up.

Uhhh sorry I am going to have to pass...lol The plan is (since it's actually my daughters) to sell it and get a newer small car for her. At that point the neon will be an extra car....lol

My girls 04 makes excessive litter noise. I tried a different weight oil heavier and lighter and nothing has quited it doen

 

Come on John its a great trade!! lol How much are you looking for on it?

Well I'd be a little concerned if you put litter in there. That would easily explain the problem lol

 

What kind of kitty litter did you put in your engine? Fresh Step or Tidy Cat?
