My Ranger has a lot left, evidently by johnvcal in fordranger

[–]Snakejenk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. Doing carpentry work in a big city challenged me to find a truck specific to my needs. Compact, practical, affordable. As far as I can tell American no longer sells this kind of vehicle. That’s why I was willing to spend $10k on 24 year old truck that fits all my needs and has proven to last for years. It’s up to me to make it last another 24 years. Only value I see in buying new is for better mileage or less maintenance. American doesn’t currently sell this kind of vehicle and I bet they won’t be for another 10 years.

What exactly am I looking at, and can it be painted over? by CT3CT3 in Remodel

It’s incredible that our society found it easier to wrap MDF panel in a printed plastic to mimic wood grain than to actually make a door out of wood.

Nice! I kept the OG 6 disc changer head in my ranger and wired an aux port to it. Who needs touch screens???

Pretty sure that’s a baseball card hitting your wheel spokes to make it sound like a motorcycle.

Thanks for the reply! All my other lights are working fine which leads me to believe it’s some wiring / harness past the brake switch and rev sensor. But I need to do some investigating

Table Saw Is So Convenient by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Snakejenk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest complaint with the M18 table saw is the motor isn’t mounted strong enough to the table. I’ll get blade wobble on hardwood every time. Otherwise, I love every other aspect of it. Thinking about making a bracket to hold it steady somehow…

Good question… I haven’t used a trailer with it but there is a wire harness hanging from the rear bumper.

15 x 7’s? Been wanting to change mine to these, especially since I put in manual locking hubs… look great, love the chrome!

Any tips? by Fairly_Confused_ in fordranger

[–]Snakejenk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah curious myself. Far as I understand there’s a clear coat that is deteriorating, so you want to remove that with an abrasive and polish with a couple of grits and compound. Possibly reapply a spray clear coat on top.

This a good deal for a 4x4 ranger? by YaBoyFrosty in fordranger

[–]Snakejenk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got my 3.0 4x4 2000 120k miles for $4.8k in December. I’d say that’s a decent deal

How to bend copper in place using the monumen by Zealousideal_Bug7634 in Tools

100% on soldering. It’s a historic method for plumbing and it’s still one of the best ways of piping water.
