Sphincter beanie
Jut go down there,grab it & keep it as an appreciating asset. With provenance like that, it makes a difference.
Is that the one where if you take longer than 10 minutes to drain the oil the pump empties and you have to tow it to a dealer to have the pump primed?Just bought a Ranger. Keen to get into a bit of 4wding. Got no idea at the moment. But have a few upgrades listed.
Winch, suspension, snorkel, bash plates and recovery points.
Edit - tyres.
What I’m really surprised by is the level of general disengagement from the shops I’ve been to so far.

Best thing to do is join a 4x4 club, especially when it comes to recovering vehicles with snatch straps because you'll need to learn how to use recovery gear. It's better travelling in groups until you learn what you're capable of in your vehicle too.Just bought a Ranger. Keen to get into a bit of 4wding. Got no idea at the moment.

The other 'ol' faithful' horrow show you see on the trails is the snatch-strap over the tow-ball. Nothing like firing an impromptu cannon-ball into an already stuck vehicle...One thing I can't stand is seeing kids in the firing line of a snatch strap that isn't even anchored safely to a forbie. I've seen one punch a hole straight through the tailgate of an old jeep with the shackle still half attached to it.
Funny watching some of them turn up on the beach, no snatch strap, no recovery tracks, no shovel and some of them with no drinking water. Then you get the slightly smarter ones that have a snatch strap and wrap it around the cheap alloy nudge bar.The other 'ol' faithful' horrow show you see on the trails is the snatch-strap over the tow-ball.

I just don't know whether to take this clown literally.
VF or ZF? The VF runs a GM box no?
Since I am here the diff is done. Just need to throw the axles back in and the brakes on then I can do some test fitting. I think the decambered single leaf springs we bought will be too low. That is not an issue because I have a buyer who will take them off our hands and I can run standard Escort leaves until the new standard height single leaf springs arrive. Front is together, I decided to skim the hub faces because there was a little run out in the aftermarket hubs we bought. Enough for the rotors to scrape on the pads for about half a turn. Machining was probably on the limit of what my little lathe is capable of but took 0.2mm of the face to square it all up. They run perfectly now. Wont be much happening for a week or two since some work has cropped up.
Bwarrk.what, you didn't want to machine the rotors on the car and eliminate the runout the right way? chicken
