    Interior is almost done.

    More progress...I changed the door sills, installed the 06 tails and LED backup lamps. I am waiting on a set of sockets to fab up a plug n play harness for the L1224R LED brake/park install. I also swapped a stainless exhaust extension for the rusty chrome one I had.

    Interior is almost done.

    EATC is in..I also swapped the chrome tailpipe end for a stainless one. I have the 06 tail lights and L1224R leds. I had a minor issue with my harness for the L1224R bulbs. I think I will install the tails and wait for the parts to come in to finish the LED's. I also covered up the SCION on the...

    EATC prep and testing

    It's in.. I still have to install the temp sensor on the rad support and connect the OBD II.. No big deal for those items. I learned a couple things. If you use Ford relays, you can't tape the relay's to the EATC. The tape won't stick. I tie wrapped them under the dash. If you put the white air...

    Speedometer recalibation

    There are a lot of tire size calculators on the net to figure the exact difference. Or you can use a GPS and see the actual speed. My trip minder has a speed output that I have corrected for my larger tires. My speedo is off because I replaced the 235/75/15's with 215/85/16's. I also have a...

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    Well I am making progress with the L1224R's. I cut the extra sockets and epoxied the outer part to the L1224R's. I wanted to use the leftovers from those sockets and solder the LED's pigtail to it, so I would have a plug n play adapter harness. They soldered up fine, so I figured I would mix up...

    EATC prep and testing

    Well progress is slow, but steady. I don't work real well at 85 degrees. Anyway...I finished the harness. Soldered and shrunk wrapped all connections. Pre cut and terminated all the wires for the sensors. Except the outside temp sensor. I made it in 2 six foot lengths. I soldered the wires for...

    Speedometer recalibation

    No,No. it's the plastic drive gear for the speedo. about 1" in diameter. It's held in place with a 10mm bolt and a clip. 5 minute job to do. http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/Speedogear.html

    Speedometer recalibation

    On my 97 Ranger I swapped 15" tires for the orig 14". I went to Ford and got a different gear for in the transmission. It was $10.00 or less. Maybe get a gear for a Ranger with 16 inch rims. Some Rangers had 255/70/16 tires.

    Interior is almost done.

    I missed an easy update to the interior. I used the same heavy black vinyl sticker material that I put on the rear defog switch plate. I covered up the SCION on the stereo. Boy sometimes those little details make such a difference. I hated that it said SCION. I had not even thought once about...

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    I have had good luck with China sellers. US sellers give me more trouble on the small items.

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    Have you considered those switchback 2 color bulbs? If you got a set of red and clear, you could install them inside the Ford housing and have it all look stock. I have a LED third brake light with cargo lights. I removed the clear and red lens and installed a solid red lens. I then wired the...

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    Here's the set I got. They currently list 1 set left and the price is bizarre at the moment. Maybe they want to keep the auction going until they restock. I bet it has something to do with fleabay fees. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151032796649?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1424.l2649...

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    Here are the reverse lights. 7watt projector CREE R5, and 12 CREE 5050's on the sides. 12watt total each lamp. I think I may have to sand that black off.

    EATC prep and testing

    Drilled the hole and installed the fitting for the air temp hose tonight. I did something a little different than the others. I got a elbow for a PCV valve. It's the kind that goes into a grommet in the valve cover. I also picked up a grommet. I drilled the hole and put the grommet in. I then...

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    To each his own. I am an OEM fanatic when possible. It is much more gratifying for me to modify a Ford part to work. I find the easy way out to be boring. Lincoln wood steering wheel. Volvo (which Ford owned) timer for the heated mirrors. Mazda rear bumper, Mercury tail light LED's, Mustang...

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    That's what I am doing for the reverse lights. These OEM Osram brake/parking bulbs are the best you can get and much better than any China made plug in replacement bulb. This project is expensive, but I am getting my money's worth. I have done the cheap replacement bulbs before in other...

    L1224R +06 rear lights

    I can't stop.....Help!!!!..I decided since I am upgrading the tails and brakes, I might as well do the reverse lights also. I just ordered a set of LED's. I'll post a pic later. They have the 7watt projector CREE R5, and 12 CREE 5050's on the sides. 12watt total each lamp. Should make a real...
