If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.

a surprising lack of rear end squat, your rear leaves must be in better shape than a lot of rangers from that era ive seen.

looking good. glad to see there are people out there that arent afraid to use up every bit of these trucks load capacity :icon_thumby:

No diesel crap, pure petrol power!!!!
No rear squat thanks to airdampers from Monroe...
This car is my DD, and pulls trailers very often.
I have added a thermo fan, and a large oilcooler for the tranny, that's hopefully why it lastes 130.000miles without any problems so far.
I changes oil 3-4 times a year, and once a year the tranny fluid is replaced.

ya im sure the large transmission cooler has saved it. most people dont make it 130,000 miles without towing with that transmission.

proper maintainence really makes a rig last. and good call on the air shocks :icon_thumby:
