Bill-

I assume you got your radiator swapped out and everything is running good now?

And been meaning to ask you how the little one slept that night?

...I spent a couple hours today swapping out my 6-194 bulbs and swapping my bad CEL bulb with the good ABS bulb...Note to self, the Ranger also takes 17 of those micro bulbs...



...I went and picked up 2#'s of 1/8" aluminum today for a future mod or at least practice, and then I did what most Californians fear...I had the Ranger smogged, Test Only w/ Evap...$58 smog and $99 reg...Most Test Only shops are wanting about $75 this year as they've gone up again..

...It passed with flying colors and probably the best smog test so far and considering it has over 188,500 miles I am a happy dog...I also started pricing some double plat's and wires today to replace my 3 year old spark plugs though...

...Given some time in the next couple of days I plan on starting some more maintenance on the X and doing the rear parking brakes and collar bolts on the Ranger..

Your truck is sharp looking - just needs a roof rack, rear tire carrier...

Oh wait - those are my plans.

...Thanks..

...It will never see a roof rack but in the far distant future when I pull the shell off, it may receive a tire carrier on a bed cage...That will happen after the cab cage of course, and I can't afford that for a while either...

That looked like fun - cute blonde, too.

If there's an event when I am out there in July, I'll ride with you (I even have my own GPS!)

BTW, if you are looking for a GPS, Garmin just came out with the 62 series - so the best-selling 60 series is on sale. I picked up my 60CSx for $200.00 a couple of weeks ago.

...It's funny to see that my Ranger can now leave tracks...

...I was using a Magellan Triton400 while most everyone else had the Garmins...The Triton 400 had to be held just perfect in the daylight to see any position on the screen...The Garmin CSx is awesome and you can easily read it in daylight...Battery usage is pretty good to but buying the dash holder and car charger makes them great...

Nice, my roommate has 63s on his ranger and they do pretty well, and his truck sits at a nice height.

I can't remember if he's running them or not. If he is i think he's planning to take them out...i'll double check later when he gets back.

...I keep forgetting to ask this...

...Does anyone know if they made a stock transfer case skid plate for the 95-97 Rangers or if anyone knows where I can get one cheap???..

...I'm possibly going to have to modify it a bit but want to see if a stock one would fit to begin with...
