Here, it’s 06-12 Ranger and 01-05 Sport Trac. I think finding the Sport Trac will be easier. In one yard at least, I don’t remember much for newer Rangers the last time I was there. I’m game to pull them, pending condition. I have no idea on shipping cost to you though…

What year Sport Trac? Ranger? 4x4? How much PITA to remove them? Hitting two yards next week…

97Sandbox… if interested, send me a PM

I wonder how much one would be to ship from eastern edge of WY to you… I’m hitting two junkyards in a few weeks.

1: what condition are the swaybar endlinks?

Hmmm… I think most aftermarket are grey, right?

I think I have two or three Pioneer Super Tuner two-shaft cassette players in my garage 😄

I got an Audiovox 8-track from a Lincoln Continental Mark V if you want to turn back time 😄

Maybe this info from @Turdle might be helpful… https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/ignition-lock-broken-how-to-fix-lock-to-use-original-keys.379194/

Another 2¢… my ex-Ford mechanic neighbor told me to not bend anything…

Here’s what I did.., Removed rear wiper. Filled sink with HOT water and Ivory dish soap. Let whole arm soak. Cleaned with toothbrush all around the hinge. Continue soak. Keep working hinge, and more cleaning with toothbrush. Finally the hinge worked like it should. No binding. Now rear wiper...

Something else to look at… tires. The 96 I just bought, had old cracked bald cheepo deluxe tires on it. I bought shocks thinking they are pry shot. I put my summer wheels and tires on it from my other 96, and just that made a huge difference…

I would also recommend looking at the endlinks. I either broke, or a nut and bushing fell off, on one of my front ones on my 96. It was like driving a swaying boat on the interstate. Sway when changing lanes, and from any road irregularities.

Replace the belt tensioner too…

How not much of a PITA are they to remove??? I tried on one… and gave up…

My newly acquired 96 doesn’t have the OEM block heater. Was considering getting the OEM stuff off eBay, but a local parts store has the Zerostart brand. Heater piece resembler the OEM unit. But the cord plug cover, I think, is the same as a the OEM one… My buddy who works at the local parts...

Check your wire inside the positive terminal for corrosion. I had a turn key, click, and everything dead problem. That was causing the problem for me.

Usually, the cruise control recall harness will have a blue tag on it, like this. I just bought the correct harness, and had my local mechanic put it on. My local Ford stealership was not an option due to their reputation.

Cruise control had a recall. Replacement harness should have a blue label on it…

It’s an easy DIY project to recover, if your console plastic is in good shape. I did my Willow Green cover, and it was a pretty close match. Some kits on eBay include replacement foam. My recovered one: It just followed me home (version 2)!

I was looking for an aftermarket console lid cover for my newly acquired 96… maybe this might help 🤷🏻‍♂️

Does the sidewall state 50 PSI max?

I thought when I pulled a GEM for my 96, it was just behind the radio, and easily removed…

NOT a bad idea. I contemplated mounting a roof basket somehow, without the use of there OEM crossbars. More low profile I guess. Never did it, but I did pluck more OEM brackets from the junkyard… but who knows where they are in my stockpile…

Careful to not tear the rubber cover. Get the linkage as well, since it should be probably free…
