 After lunch I drove the ex cab to the back lot, hopped in the jalapeno and drove it to my parking space. Just about everyone passed it on their way in and out. Nobody noticed.

I guess all green rangers look the same to them regardless of length.

for plastic use a two part epoxy or just clear silicon
All the ebay lights I use get treated with clear silicon on the back side to keep moisture out and to adhere the lenses
It is a quick and cheap way to make your cheap lights work like stock lights
Good deal. Double checked, I got them off Amazon, but I'm sure they're similar quality/production. They were like $65.

 Some dude texted me asking if I had some 4.0 heads out of the blue, from another ad I had on CL that I forgot to pull, concerning my explorer.

The motor out of "the white one" knocked but the heads were probably good... I pulled them off and sold them to him.

Between disassembly and extracting the studs that snapped off it was the hardest 50 bucks I ever made. Plus he was late coming to get them so I'm in the dog house. She mad.

Just about every water passage on the head gaskets was blocked that poor motor did not have a chance.

Classic shade tree mechanic.  This day in age, who doesn't know what a K&N is or any reuseable filter?

Indeed. In this day and age, who doesn't know that K&N filters are complete garbage? lol

 This one was just throwing a code, I didn't hear any noise. Squeaks like a belt sometimes.

 Got my emblem, repainted parts of the grille that got scuffed during install, and removed the rear jump seats. Gonna build some sort of inconspicuous tool storage and a cozy yet safe place for my pupper.

 Decided the whirring noise i've been hearing this week was the PS pump, so checked the oil to find it was down a fair bit, topped up with some nice ATF.

Engine oil down half a qt too, i'll maybe top that sometime soonish.
