OK, I'll post a few. I have a bunch more, but this is a start.
First: 1853 Enfield Rifle - Confederate used. Also have a Union 1842 Springfield.
Next is a Winchester 1917, first month of production for WWI:
Next up is a 1943 M1 Garand. According to Patton, the greatest battlefield...
I prefer to have the Nav not on my phone, but maybe this is a lower tier priority. In some order, I have:
- tires
- winch
- tune
- then Nav, I suppose
Somewhere in there I guess is dampers and engine covers, but those confuse me, so they'll probably wait.
How is the Ford factory nav? I am considering doing an APIM swap to add factory Nav, but was wondering how those of you with it like it. In my Jeep, I always used phone based Google Maps because the maps in the Jeep were old, and the directions always seemed off. Didn't consider traffic...
Thanks Bob, and for your help last weekend too. I had up on jackstands all week, as I was traveling for work.
Glad to have it back for sure. I think the install will go much easier next time, as I'll make sure not to overextend the cv joint.
I wish I had taken a pic of how the ball bearing...
Ended up today popping the axle out and repairing the cv joint. Getting the axle out was way easier than I expected.
The issue with the joint was the bearings were pushed hard up against the axle, so they wouldn't go back into their tracks in the end piece. Had to push them back out to give...
I loosened the nut on the ground, but didn't take it off. All I can figure is the axle slid back into the hub, then stretched out the inner boot when I was leaning on the LCA.
It looks like vacuum effect might be happening.
A big thanks to everyone who has posted tips or links to help others avoid this. That is what I was hoping this thread would do.
Great folks here to offer so much to a Ranger newb!
I bought my truck used. However, it came with Catskinz leather covers installed. In my case, it was done very professionally - they look and feel like comfier factory leather seats. Super snug, really well done. I doubt the prior owner did them DIY.
Will be a few before I could a pic as I'm...
I bought a 250 lb-ft torque wrench at home depot for about $50. My other only go to 50, and I think 150.
You can get a piece of steel pipe at home depot to put over the end of your torque wrench, which gives you a 5 or 6 foot breaker bar. Pretty easy to break them loose or tighten them up...
I took the axle nut off, and pushed the axle out of the hub. How I overextended the inner cv is a mystery I'll never solve.
The axle wasn't totally clear of the hub, but all the splines and threads were out.
Name gives it away, eh?
I traded a Jeep for this truck. Hopefully this will all be fixed by next weekend, then I'll go ride some trails before the leaves come back.
Want to do a hidden winch up front too, but might just keep the hijack handy for now. Not too many places in the natl forest to...
