Can you recommend the upholstery shop that you had the seats done? How much did it run you? Also in the Denver area.

I am putting coilovers in my ranger and I would have more needed room for the upper mounts if the washer fluid reservoir was somewhere else. Problem is; it's attached to the coolant reservoir. I could easily cut them apart but worry the mounting won't hold the coolant reservoir by itself. Has...

Yeah, high steer isn't in the budget, unfortunately. The knuckles I have don't do high steer, at least not in the off the shelf way.

So in this completely hypothetical, damn near laughable situation, how would one find out what material it's hypothetically made of?

I have a "Y" link steering setup. It has the one tie rod end that has a tapered hole built in for another tie rod end. My problem is I need that hole to be vertical and it is horizontal. At the risk of getting chewed out here is my question: (keep in mind I AM a certified welder and will be...

I just took this setup off my ranger. It was a 77 but basically the same. I'm swapping to a three link with coilovers. I cut off the end of the radius arm and welded on some tubing that I had threaded for Ballistic 3" joints.

A vehicle's springs hold the weight of the vehicle. The shocks/struts control the movement of those springs. 5-600 lb doesn't sound like a lot if you had a full size truck. That's almost half of the Ranger's capacity. I would look into helper springs to correct ride height. As far as what to...

I'd be more worried about the rust causing structure issues than the weld. I'd cut it across the tube where it meets the bracket plate, x2 for bobbywalter's advice except I'd add a step of rust converting primer before paint.

Does anyone know what the relative height of the transmission crossmember to the frame height? If you're looking at the truck from the side, at the cross section of the crossmember, how much higher is the crossmember mounting surface to the bottom of the frame? Short story long. I'm redoing the...

I find it helps if the cord is laid out straight, cut it a little long.

Yeah, but besides that.

Ok, so I took the plunge and started disassembling my throttle body. I used a mini hack saw frame to cut off the pinched screw threads. I unscrewed the two screws holding on the butterfly plate. It only slides out one way. One bolt holds the shaft assembly in place. Once I pulled the shaft out I...

I second the "pull it out and take it to your local welding supply shop". Liners should be fairly easy to replace. Something to keep in mind, especially as a novice welder (I was guilty of this in the beginning) if your welder is on a cart be sure to not use the gun as a leash. Pulling the cart...
