I see a red flag on the shop. It appears someone is trying to sell you repairs to increase their bottom line. In your pictures I see what the others see. Nothing is wrong, just a little wear. Good brake inspection. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
i think the diff cover looks good. thanks for doing that, i need to do my truck once the weather dries up.But now you need to remove and paint the entire back axle to match...
Hey, paint the axle to match, then brake drums, then front suspension, then bumpers, then body. BTW be sure to post lots of pics Ranger Dave
I run rancho's on my stuff, but I see you say nay on those in your post.
but i understood ranchos as primarily being for off road use, not street use.
Do you have shocks, or struts? Autozone is only coming up with struts for your year, with Gabriels ranging from $25 to $43/ea. Gabriels have a lifetime warranty, which is the seller for me.
You might want to look into replacing the bulbs with LEDs, if they are available for your application. In theory, LEDs should last for a very long time, and they are often brighter than the stock bulbs. The only real problem is they can be expensive!
This is awesome! I wish more people would do this type of thing. Keep the updates coming. You are doing great,
thanks. i just did the MAF sensors in both cars, i need to put that update together. really simple job. i am also planning on doing the throttle bodies and i learned a really cool trick with the spark plugs to improve my truck, pay attention to that ARCHER! you might be interested!
i'm hoping i can get the car high enough on my own to drop the tank.
damn, talk about a man cave.....
what about spark plugs? outside of my bitch about why does a 4 cylinder truck have 8 spark plugs? argh.... wires and plugs cost a lot more.
thanks, i figure the clearer i can make it the better. i actually bought a chiltons when at the store thinking the repair was going to be a cv boot but it wasn't. after i did the rotors i decided i'm going to return the manual for the exact reason you mentioned. the pictures aren't that great, and frankly i have been able to find everything i need on car forums, through google, or youtube. why pay 20 bucks for something else to clutter my garage when i can use the net.
and seriously? no comments on the diff cover? well that was a flop
