I try to wash the body and the observable frame twice a month in winter. Ive found that it actually really helps for the most part. I do the same as you in the summer though ill go right underneath and come out looking like i just rolled around in a pig pen

Yup wasn't even going to consider rubber undercoating. Only heard bad things about it. Ive heard some really good things about spray wax as kinda a "top coat" so I was really leaning that route.

Did you ever notice the POR15 cracking or worsening any rust? People seem to say some really good things about it, but when I went onto some autobody and paint forums the guys were opposed to it as they said it was "too brittle and would crack"

Glad to hear - my dads truck had been undercoated from the factory and once more in its 10 year lifespan. Honestly I agree that it works to an extent. I'm not trying to make the truck show quality perfect I just want it to last longer than if everything rusted through.

Moved to BC a while back. You're right definitely better in terms of rust. The Durangos frame (which is from Vancouver) has very little rust on it. However my Ranger (Calgary truck) is a whole 'nother story

Rust sucks. If you live north of the rust belt you likely know this all too well. I've been spending some time this past winter researching some rust protection and reformation products and I realized there is not a lot of long term information on these products. So I figured I'd open up a...

So figured id post up what I decided to do. Was at the junkyard the other day getting stuff for the Durango. Noticed a Ranger Edge sitting around, with the factory flaps on the rear. Score! I took at look at the rear metal brackets to see if they would work on the front. They look like they...

Those do look good! I'll check em out, Thanks

I'll have to look into those Thanks!

Yeah, they definitely make a huge difference. Most of the time when you mention them, people seem to turn their nose up at them "aww they look bad" yatta yatta, Personally I don't mind how they look, and for the protection of the body (and the rest of the truck) - its worth it I'll take a look...

Hey all, not sure if this is the correct place to post this.... I recently bought a 2007 Ranger Sport as the new daily. Being a sport package truck, it came factory with rear mudflaps, but not front ones. Why Mudflaps? Well, I live up north where they salt the roads, from personal experience...

Awesome! I'll be looking forward to this build too

I think I have seen this truck somewhere before... Do you also have a Red Highboy?

With mother nature freaking out in BC these past few weeks, I ended up letting go of the golf. It allowed me to pick up a new vehicle for my fleet: an 07 Ranger Sport. Its a 2wd, 3.0, 5spd, No Cruise, no AC, manual locks, and manual windows. it was previously owned by an older gentleman, and is...

Pulled the flares off a few weeks ago. Both drivers and passengers fenders were completely shot. About 3"-4" of rust around the fender wells. To make matters worse i found some rust on the lower cab too..... Looks like ill be doing some bodywork. However on a more positive note, I struck gold...

Update time - Planned on doing a whole bunch of work to the truck this summer, and in some sense I still do. However, crawled underneath and the exhaust is Swiss Cheese O2 sensors are not happy and the truck is running super rich never-mind the blown cat. rough calculations indicate north of...

I certainly would if I were you. These trucks are great and reliable if you take care of them

Thats awesome! Sounds like you have a really nice truck on your hands. Do you have the disk brake rear end? How does it stop? Have you ever compared it to the drum brake rear? A few winters ago I had a leak in my rad, I think it cracked because of the cold. It was a night and day difference...

I hadn't even thought about making it non street-able - something to think about. You said it perfectly right there. Its gettin old If there wasn't so much sentimental value and memories packed up in this thing it probably would've gotten sold it a long time ago. Unfortunately I can't bring...

The price for strictly the shocks and springs is gonna run me around $850 CAD. However, the rear end NEEDS to be rebuilt, so thats going to be at least another $300 just for parts. In the end it should run me $1050 before shipping. I do plan on doing all the work myself and thankfully I have a...
