How do you get all the wires to stay in such neat, straight paths like that? Mine are all curved and stuff. See?

Looking at them underneath they're roughly half inch thread size, kind of a fine thread. Threaded into tinnerman type things. Doesn't look like I have access to them above the tinnermans to get PB blaster on them.
So I guess I'll get a T55 for half inch or 3/4 drive. Whatever my impact is.
Thinking about painting this entire thing with Rustoleum. A Maaco job I hear ain't gonna last 6 months, and it's an 89 Ranger -not exactly worth the thousands it would cost to do it right. I like this little thing though.

Very little body rust on the underside.
Here's one of the bed holder onner bolts.
I'm afraid if it rotates and tears that sheet metal that wraps around the edge of the frame, it'll just spin and spin and I'll never get it off.
And how do you cut something like that off, right next to leaking fuel lines?

I'm not going to be able to put the bed back on without someone other than the Geezer to help.
It ain't that heavy but he was whining the whole time about not being able to lift it high enough to clear the tire. It's about as heavy as a fiberglass cap for a full size pickup. Maybe a little lighter.
Looks like damn mice chewed through the fuel lines. And the vent tube is a total mystery.
It's a mystery because there's a mystery tube chewed off, and the end of the tube on that white plastic thingy on the tank, but they're not the same size.

i believe that white device in the tank, is part of the evap system. what you may "want to do", is carefully cut away the piece on the tank, with maybe perhaps an exacto knife.>??I'm not going to be able to put the bed back on without someone other than the Geezer to help.

then you can use a piece of washer fluid hose to attach there, then you might have to cut the plastic tubing back a bit till where it is a straight tube, rather than raggy, and insert that into the new washer fluid hose.
chances are already, the evap is not even working
then forget about the repair i mentioned, your truck even IF they had emissions testing would be too old to worry about. i think the mice had a feast...even with the wires, like i had mentioned in some other thread(??) most all wiring insulation since about the early 1990's, is made from soy, which does give off a slight odor, which soy being a food product, makes our vehicles a smorgasbord of treats...My charcoal filter got eaten too. Good thing I live in a county that doesn't do emissions testing.

And somehow the wires to my washer fluid pump got cut.

only other suggestion would be to lay down some rat /mouse bait all over the places where the vehicles park
yep, then some rich vehicle restorer will buy it saying it was a "barn find"....Use it fer target practice.

Rangers have never been a popular project vehicle but they do have a cult following.
Ranger and Bronco II.
I like my ranger. It's a good little truck. Tows better than most people would expect out of a compact pickup.
It's not 4WD though. If it was, it'd be worth more than just preservation and repairs.
I don't give two shits about resale value. I wish I had the funds to have it professionally repainted with the same forest green/gold two-tone but it's at the point where it looks bad enough that a Rustoleum job would be an improvement.
Maybe.
I don't think car wax would apply correctly. Without it, Rustoleum has a tacky surface that gets dirty really fast, but I think wax would stick too well and not polish off correctly. There would be lime green swirls all over it.
My friend and I painted his old Camaro with it once. He did all the big areas with a roller and I used a brush on the detail areas. It actually looked decent.
But he totalled it a few weeks later so I never got to see how it held up.
i had a 2wd ranger, i got it new in 2004. i had it till 2010, and traded it for a new camry. i liked my truck too, but it started needing repairs, like an intake manifold and one stinking fuel injector. it was going to need brakes and also the power door locks/courtesy lights control module went bad.....so i said screw it, dump it now.
