My Toyota Tacoma, Dodge Ram, Ford Rangers, GMC Sonoma and maybe Nissan Hardbody

Time for valve cover gasket replacement

 

Yes, I know. I'm gonna be fixing up my Ranger this year so it'll have to wait haha!

 

I found this exhaust tip laying by the road. I put it on my Ranger's little pipe and I love how it looks. Haven't figured out how to make it stay on there yet lol!

 

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted anything here! Iggy, my Taco with too many names, is almost to 305k miles and is still running strong! My buddy and I were out exploring backroads the other day and Iggy starting steering funny. So I pulled over and my buddy checked out the ball joints. He said they're real bad so I guess I can't wait til next year to get em replaced like I had planned. The whole way home I didn't drive above 45mph cuz I thought a wheel might fall off lol! I haven't put insurance back on Purdy Face the Ram yet. I'm gonna make my dad replace his plugs and wires first. Paradise the Ranger just had a bunch of stuff replaced thanks to my dad and buddy. Here's some fresh Taco pics!

 

It's time to inform y'all on Paradise's progress. As I mentioned in my previous post, my dad and buddy have been working on him for me. New spark plugs, wires, shocks, and my dad replaced a leaky trans line. I didn't know what I was gonna do about the severely rusted rear diff cover and rounded bolts, but my dad finally got that off too! Some of the bolts broke off in there, but he dug em out somehow. Now Parry's got a pretty diff cover!(I painted it) We've been trying to figure out why Parry squeals real loud. The idler pulley and tensioner pulley were just replaced, so now we think it's the ac compressor pulley. My other rigs still need medical help too...so exciting!

 

My next money pit?

 

So I've been considering adopting an old Chevy or GMC. I was gonna get a Silverado that I found at a scrap yard, but changed my mind after my friend showed me his ex-coworker's Sonoma that he wants to get rid of. He was gonna scrap it, but he said I can have it. It's been sitting for awhile and needs a new engine. My friend is gonna try to haul it to the place he's been renting. The guy who owns the place said he don't care if I keep a truck on his property, which is great cuz my mom said no more! I still want my friend's dad's Nissan too, but nobody knows where the title is. Here's my future financial mistake!

 

Hi dudes, this is Paradise. Just showing off my awesomeness! I'm my mommy dearest's fav

 

Hey y'all, time for an update on my rigs! Haven't been driving my v8 Dodge much cuz of gas prices. I pay at the pump and it always clicks off at $80. Last time I gassed him up, he took $80 and $70 some more in the same day! My 306,000 mile Taco had been loosing power while driving. I was stopped on a hill and when I tried to go, my truck rolled backwards a little. Several other times it felt like I was braking while driving and almost completely stopping a few times. My dad thought it was the throttle position sensor, so he unplugged it and plugged it back in, and I haven't had any trouble since. I'll probably still get it replaced soon. I've been driving my Ranger a lot. My dad was gonna help me put an exhaust tip on the tailpipe, but he realized that it had rusted off at the muffler! I think it was just laying on the axle! The muffler was still on there, but barely, so my dad cut it off. I posted a video of Paradise purring and pics of his new decals. My buddy said his dad's Nissan's title is in an old haunted house, so that's good to know. He also said that he's gonna get the shitty Sonoma hauled to the place he's renting on Friday! I'll get plenty of pics. For now, here's my Danger Ranger!

 

finally got the Sonoma hauled to his new home! after some body work, I'll probably do a crazy rattle can paint job. surprisingly, the frame is solid. still gotta find an engine for this fine rig!

 

Introducing, Precious the 85 Ford Ranger! I seen him at a dealership and I really wanted to buy him, but I didn't have enough money. I was just gonna try to forget I saw the fine rig, but my best friend bought him for me!

 

Hey y'all! I don't get on here much anymore cuz TikTok and Instagram keep me busy. The roads here in Ohio got salted this winter but then a bunch of rain washed em off pretty good so I've been driving any chance I get. My trucks are all good. My 2000 Ranger is the only one I've been driving. I'm planning on lots of offroading this spring with my Taco. I hope y'all are having a good year so far. Here's some new pics
