the kid Well, the good news is; I didn't let him sit on the couch. I made him go repair his van WITH me. Once I got him started, he dug in like a champ. Made me proud to see him elbow deep in filth. We replaced his alternator, and ground wire, and the van runs good now. I apologize for...

I swear this generation scares the crap out of me. I bought my 16 year old son a beater 1990 E-150 conversion van. I have spent countless hours replacing parts. Now it's down again, it needs an alternator. I called him from work this morning, and the following conversation took place: Hello...

Wow, and I never liked soccer much until now.

GO HURLEY!!.....Sometimes it takes a while to get it goin....congrats man!!

Whips out his 2.9 liter,.....and has engine envy.....but damn it it works great.....just not as impressive in the locker room.....

contributors You can always paypal the extra money weighing you down to lenimal. I'll put it into the 1990 Ranger Supercab "Moby Dick" project.... Hey, just trying to help folks out. Too fat of a wallet can hurt your back......

It's got a name It hit me this morning. I am a drummer....and Led Zeppelin rocks. I will install a 4" suspension lift, put the 33" tires on it, and name it..... MOBY DICK :rockon:

if I had to make a choice I would toss the 99 high performance Lincoln for the Ranger in a heartbeat. The Ranger is much more fun as an everyday driver.:thumbup:

white lightning That's the first thing that came to mind for me. But she's not that fast *LOL*. It's FAST for a V-6...but my other car is a Linconln continental with a 5.0 high performance.....

This 1990 Ranger Supercab project has been in work for 5 years now, and she finally looks good, and runs good (see my photos to see all the work). But before I go to 33" tires and a 4" lift...SHE NEEDS A NAME. ANY suggestions will be considered. She's got a replaced engine (and body), new...

shut it down Actually.....I think the coolest thing I could do would be; to go back there tomorrow (now that my truck is fixed), put it in 4 wheel low, hook a chain to the obstruction, and drag it to the front of the trail. That would at least protect my fellow 4-wheelers. My 16 year old son...

the beating Should I take some pictures of the beating, and post them to the Ranger Photos? The landowner might look good with some busted brake line wrapped around his neck laying in his front yard while I do donuts around him.... A little attitude adjustment is good for the soul....

back in the saddle Well, I got her back together this weekend. Removed the steering box, and extracted the busted bolts. Ran all new front brake lines, reinstalled the steering box. Put a new power steering return line in, and she's good to go again. This little 90 Ranger with the 2.9 litre is...

I moved here to South Dakota from Connecticut. And I guess the rules are different. I put my truck in 4 wheel low, and was cautiously driving down an unmarked heavily wooded trail (no do not enter - or no trespassing signs), when I hit a 2 ton concrete block covered in weeds. It ruptured my...
