My father-in-law has a 1994 Ranger, base model, 2.3L 5 speed with 365,000 miles on it. A/C is still ice cold and we just changed the origional front brake pads a month ago. It still gets 26 mpg too!
It was a DD when the Oldsmobile quit but now I'm driving the Villager to haul the kiddos.

My junk has something shiney on it for a change. I sure needed that.
Bought 2 of these off ebay. One for my 93 and one for the wifes 98. Fit both perfectly and came with more than enough hardware. Had it all bolted up in an hour. I've only ever had Reese hitches but this one was made by Curt. Im pleased.

I sell a lot of Curt hitches and they are very well made. The instructions are really detailed too. Curt Mfg. has one of the best websites.

Went over to Shreks and picked up a donor HPD30. Got it home, drained the differential and pulled the carrier.
Ready to start the swap on Friday night.

I interviewed for a Job within the place that I already work.
I find it interesting that I didn't have to do an interview to get hired onto 3rd shift but when I put it for a shift change to 1st I had to do an hour and a half interview in front of a panel of folks I work with.
I'll find out next week if I'm still on graveyard.

So, I got a good bit done today.
I installed the window regulator in my wifes 98.
I installed the hitch on my wifes 98.
I put all the fenders, gas tank and plastic crap back on my wifes 4 wheeler.
I helped my wife rebuild the carb in our daughters 4-wheeler.
and I looked at my Jeep as I was walking back to the shop to put all my tools up.
All in all I can get back in my 93 and give her 98 back to her. Since it didn't have a window in it for a week I was driving it.
The most pleasing thing of the day was the fact that we fixed the daughters 4-wheeler. That thing has been driving me crazy for the longest time. I'm convinced the needle and seat were sticking. Rebuilt the whole carb and viola!
The only thing I did wrong was put the throttle back into the carb backwards. Which means the throttle was sitting at WOT. I managed to run head on into the brick well house, bust my knee and leg up and broke my Costas. But hey! It works now!
Am I the only one that posts in this thread anymore?

Pulled my bent front axle from the XJ, swapped the carrier in a donor, got the donor under the truck and bolted it.
I was going to have the Jeep on the wheels today, but I have to swap a steering knuckle. The donor axle has 2 piece knuckles and the part that the brake pads hook into are about 1/4 inch to small. I have the necessary knuckle to replace it, but turns out I don't have a 1 1/4 inch socket, so I couldn't loosen the lower ball joint nut. I was 15 minutes from having it complete and had to stop.
Off to get a socket today.
Not a bad 3 hours work. Felt good to get sweaty and greasy and have something to show for it.

Spent all last week at Myrtle for my buddy's bachelor party. Got back Friday evening, went to the Autofair at the speedway yesterday. Rode up to see my old man today and dropped in to see my mom and step dad while I was passing through as well.
940 miles in a week. I'm a bit tired of driving!
