The time has come to put my Ranger out of her misery. She's seen 190K since 1990, when my uncle bought her. I beat the tar out of it for the past 120K and she took it like a champ. So I decided to give her a new life as a trailer.
How it looked as of friday: (Ignore the ugly red cap, thats off our company s-10. We just needed a place to put it for a few days.)
Lets get right into this. Pulled the bed: (The van in the background is mine, so is the Cobra behind it.)
I found a little rust on the frame, nothing too bad. (Oh look, a 1" BII sway bar.)
Forklifts make this kind of work so much easier, everyone should have one.
I cleaned up the surface rust on the underside of the bed and painted it with POR15: (I even found a use for the floor mats )
While that was drying, I chopped the frame in half. (The 2 green Explorers in the background are mine.)
