no signature on bill of sale ???
guy sent me an email, thanking me for the transaction and that it has renewed his outlook on CL haha. said he would be happy to send another bill of sale if needed.
he said his son will miss the truck as he was unfortunately not allowed to put it on the road because of his grades.
He gave the name Stu to the truck.

battery still good today!

battery good still
oddly, the driver side of this machine has a brand new radius arm, coil spring, brake hose, and shock.
the passenger side looks like a 20yr old NY truck, with 95% of the radius arm rotten and broken apart. i guess someone said fuck it after doing one side lol
everything else looks solid on the lift! gona get the parts to fix, get a new sticker and put her on the road! bro whip!
-
control arms and bushings ordered.
-
after lot duty with this thing i think we may have a brake hanging up on a corner lol
continues to start and run great! sweet burnout machine.
i think it will get plates after it gets some parts on the lift

changing a radius arm in these things is no job for the weak man
4 hours and done. lots of torch and cutting- had to run to TSC for an 8" long 3/4" bolt too replace
-
Wow. Mine came off easy. Maybe mine had been replaced

tried out the new groover last night. works good. ordered 3/8" and 3/4" blades and heads for it
-
Sounds like you got the last radius arm available from Dorman. WTF? Nuway Farmington said my order was cancelled because no longer available. Rock auto no longer lists the part either.

Only looked at Nuway, rock auto and then autozone online.
Don't need one to get me rolling. but wanted one in the trailer for spare.
Dorman part was like 58.00
Autozone lists for 98.99
Ford will be 150.00 I'm sure
Summit lists them as well.

I mean I can try and order these if they are that scarce.
-
Sounds like they have become scarce. Guys wadding up their trucks are gonna need these sooner or later.
They don't hold up to corrosion like the Axle Beams do, so junkyards around here aren't full of good ones.

Do you have to run the stock I beam or can you run an aftermarket like this one http://simotorsportsinc.com/images/ibeamkit.jpg
-
Stock stock stock.
The issue with most aftermarket suspension parts for the ranger IMO is they they typically do something we don't want... Lift or Lower the vehicle.
What does this kit do?
If there is a stock replacement out there we may need it at some point.

i couldnt find anything aftermarket with same stock ride hight
changing the geometry with lift or lowering parts does not meet the rules
both of Bills are swiss cheese so he will be searching- i gave him a heads up they are hard to find. that ebay place claims they have some

With a gangsta lean, major tire rubbing ;D
-
we thought putting smaller tires on rear would help, but bed still sitting on smaller tires.
id guess its over loaded only by 1000lbs or so ::)

Easy fix: donate 1 complete drivetrain to me! Lol

stacked wooden block bump stop extensions. matches bed construction

i was actually looking at the car battery pile to see if i could stuff two batteries in between the frame and spring plate.
my blocking selection is limited and mostly used and cared for
the other suggestion was to pick up the chain saw and make bed cutouts for the tires. too many deck screws though and would require more work to unload.
the 2.3 and clutch took it fine.
