One of the best ones I saw was Bernie riding on the truck with the Beverly Hillbillies.

Hahahaha I'm glad you liked it. When I head into town tomorrow I'll grab something to toss in there and see what happens.
I really like your old ranger. I had an 86 manual 4x4 with the 2.3 I bought for a learning vehicle when I had my permit. The po rattle canned it camo but to a 14 yo I was all too happy to bomb around in it.

His developed that aforementioned lifter tick, and he pulled the valve covers off.... he started tinkering under there and "discovered" that the rocker arm bolts could be much tighter, LOL. Soooo, he tightened them up. Sounded a lot better for about 2 minutes..... you can guess the rest.
Hahahahaha he *discovered* it. That's too funny. I actually never got mine stuck. I only came close once on my lunch break in high school when I bottomed out in some swamper ruts but it managed to pull through. I really want to spend some time and money on it but my timing sucks.

Just curious... are you guys having issues with Rock Auto the past 3 or 4 days? Sometimes it takes forever to load, and sometimes it will just stop loading mid page.
