This is more of a "for a ranger" instead of "to a ranger" but black06xlt showed me a new method of pulling an explorer engine.

Cut the frame in front of and behind it, pull the expo off the engine.

Took my adopted new best buddy for a ride. I lost my last best friend a year ago, and found this guy at the local shelter. Another BorderHeeler like Oz was. Anyone that knows this breed, knows they come in almost any color or markings, the only constant is what a wonderful dog they are. This guy was absolutely perfect in the truck and house from the first introduction. He will not be going back to a shelter. Very affectionate, he thinks he's a lap dog, fine with me. They named him "Blue", not good enough, he's now called "SEAMUS", [shay mus] Oz was named for the Blue Heeler part, Seamus is named for the BorederCollie

If your scraping the truck it's the easiest way to do it. Took about 2 hours to get the engine transmission and transfer case out.  At work when I dismantle rangers I do it this way. I never pull the cab unless the cab is stocked. I can get 4 trucks a day by cutting the frame

I would love to cut them up like that! I would need some sort of lift to get them up onto my trailer for going to the recycle yard, my small tractor wont do it. I am in the market for a large backhoe to use around here one of its functions will be to help with crushing/stacking

Right now the trucks have to be on a trailer before we can finally remove the rear axle, so we have to keep them rolling around until then.

Yesteday I started working on my BII!! Hooray! This means many of my projects are complete and I can start to work on trucks. I am fitting the new Duff rear bumper and tire swing, but first I had to fix my tailpipe. I smashed my tailpipe years ago in Moab on a rock, so I had cut the smashed portion off, well it was so short that I was boiling my fuel!! So I extended it yesterday and added a turn down.
Next I will be fixing my rust!!

Before, this old Duff bumper took some serious abuse!!


new pipe installed, this is temporary setup I am planning a full new exhaust system in 2019, from headers back.......





Bumper fitment / paint happening now:




I will pull the truck outside to do the final welding, I am also using some tin to build a heat shield between fuel tank and exhaust pipe, replacing gas tank pressure sensor and a few other things before shes road worthy again lol

Today i contemplated whether i should just keep my RWD and invest in a nice LSD, save having to spend thousands more on a 4x4 i could probably get away without.

A lot of idiots driving in our area this week, Dusten :( Bit of rain comes down in the dark and they all   themselves.

410 - yeah, but other than 4x4 being a great boon, best i can hope for is using good tyres and if the difference between RWD open and decent (suggestion?) LSD is big enough, then i might just do that.

Hes a young guy.  My guess was texting because from my view in the mirror he didnt slow down.  He turned and thats it.  

First body shop quoted $3600

I pulled that column shifter bushing assembly off my expo because it was flawless to put on the newest Ranger which is a little stiff.

While it is off I'll manually push the cable around to make sure it is not the cable/trans.

Holy cow. That's not a spare tire that's a bumper. With that tire isnt a bumper redundant? Lol. That looks killer with that tire. Oh my gosh!!! You need crispy creme to sponsor your bronco. Make a big donut wheel cover for it. That looks so cool!!!

Glad you're ok. Truck can be fixed. Dont go to fluerys in ballard. 

For $3,600 seems like you could buy a bed and spray it to match for less.

Ranger stepie are pretty popular  in the greater seattle area. I've seen a lot around town while working. Most in good shape too

 I always get a chuckle when I see cars like that. It's pretty obvious the driver was not paying attention. I see a lot of cars driving around with that distinctive hood. Sometimes I cant help myself and I'll yell, " dont text and drive". Lol.

Sadly, im norfolk right now with no shop and no tools.  

The mom of the kid who hit me is offering to fix it, so we'll see.

Old rangers are hard to find here.  They rust.
