Belt Tensioner SNAPPED OFF

Three statements of fact...

1 - I'm too old and tired to do that. 20 years ago and no fancy electronics and I would be up for it.

2 - I'd swap $$ for peace of mind in a heart beat.

3 - And I'm probably more frugal than 99% of the population. Note: Frugal does not equal parsimonious / selfish.

That’s exactly what I plan on having engraved on my headstone!

Speaking of headstones

This is one of my maternal ancestor's headstone.
I researched it. It is not an original quote.

But it is spot on in my mind.

IIRC someone here a while ago attempted (or was attempting) to do it and found out it was going to be more of a hassle than it was worth. For one the electronics/computer would be a hassle getting them to work well and the 4wd/TC controller would have to be moved. Then there's the gearing and pedal and linkage controls having to be worked in.

If someone was going to attempt this they'd better have deep pockets and a lot patience. lol It might be a fun project but not something worth while trying on your daily driver. I'd recommend them using a salvage truck because it sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen.

Not as hard as you're making it out to begin. Or we have a different baseline for project difficulty

I think it would certainly be less work than the guy that solid axle swapped his ranger.

Did he ever complete the manual transmission conversion?

Great! Now I’m gonna have to change what’s written on my headstone.
