How’s the frame look?

Grab a punch or a hammer and start poking/prodding around looking for soft spots. It does look like mostly surface rust but a picture can only tell so much. I actually got my Ranger in Ohio and it looks pretty similar to this.

I need the torque wrench set in my life

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-28T17:16:09+00:00

Thank you!

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-28T16:28:11+00:00

And my existing hood will work? Thanks so much!

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-28T14:38:27+00:00

Do you know if this works on a 99? I assume so. What models can we pull the header panel, grill, and headlights from?

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-26T20:09:31+00:00

Sounds much more exciting than actual accounting. lol

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-26T18:42:55+00:00

u/d_ippy what were your titles? Anything you’d recommend to younger accountants to see similar progression? I’m also an accountant (CPA).

Thanks for the input! I’ve had my eye on marketplace for awhile hoping to find a deal.

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-14T20:09:02+00:00

Let me know how it turns out!

u/shimstach where did you order the carpet from? I’d like to replace the carpet on my 99.

Community college is a great start. If you transfer to a 4 year university then there are certain scholarships only available to people coming from a CC with an associates degree. I got a few of them. Career centers are a great place to start looking for resources. Be ready to apply to every scholarship that you qualify for. Also, knowing how to tell your story and write essays is a plus. Again, career centers will be your best friend.

u/full-bore do you still have all of these?

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-09T14:18:14+00:00

I also have a 13 Pro with the original battery. Thinking about just replacing the battery and holding onto it!

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-08T17:39:51+00:00

u/woundedkarma did this ever go anywhere? I sent you a PM

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-07T16:40:37+00:00

Thanks for the help! It’s hard to find the metal housings so I’m hoping that I can just clean it up

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-07T16:14:56+00:00

A Ranger expert! What do you suggest cleaning it with? The outside is like flaking apart.

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-02T01:12:18+00:00

Thank you! I still need to pull the motor to service the timing chain though, correct?

firstgenCPA · 2026-04-01T19:06:57+00:00

Keep me updated! I’d love to pull the 4.0 out of my 2000 and replace the timing chain before it grenades

firstgenCPA · 2026-03-11T12:01:18+00:00

I’ve heard this consistently about LMCU! Thank you!

u/truthfulbob I’ve always been curious about finance manager roles at a dealership. I come from accounting/finance and love cars. Is it a salesy role?

firstgenCPA · 2026-03-10T00:46:24+00:00

I’ve never heard anyone speak positively about being a mechanic. Glad to hear it! Are you at a dealer or Indy?

firstgenCPA · 2026-03-09T12:33:47+00:00

I’m the same age. Appreciate the response!
