I decided I should do something about my rusty Ranger
pulled the box so I can start on the frame
started beating and scraping and then took the wire brush to it I picked up a cheap electric pressure washer and gave it a bath
I pulled the bumper, pulled the wiring back. removed that carbon box fuel thingy mounted on the front of the spare tire carrier and found this I have everything here to fix it if I can remember how to weld. It's been 15 years at least.
And more rust I also found these 2 small spots but with POR 15 going on both sides I'm not going to fix them
Tonight I went at the rear spring mounts, on a side note i'm really liking this Milwaukie impact gun. Wasn't sure getting the 3/4 drive was the right choice but it twisted those rusty shackles like pretzels.
So out came the Sawzall and cut it off. It looks like the trailor hitch needs to come off so I can get the bolt out of the spring
