    Honestly, this is the definition of OEM+ applied to an underappreciated platform for every right reason. It's been a pleasure watching this project from the start and you should be so proud of the finished product and of your work. I guarantee your Gram is.

      As a ranger owner I think your effort is instigating a value bump in the ranger market

    Sarah,
    I have enjoyed watching your journey with this little truck from the 1st video you made of it. Your heartfelt expression of joy & sharing memories whilst driving your "RANGAH" was such a tribute to your hard work & attention to detail and such a neat way to honor your gram!

    I daily to work a 1993 Ford ranger with 503,000 miles and the kicker is it's still rocking the original engine transmission and rear end! No tics taps or raps and doesn't leak a drop of anything. 2.3l 2wd 5sp. So Sarah's truck has a place in the ole pumper! Lol. I'm a bit jealous...... Sarah never ceases to amaze! 🔥💯🇺🇲.

    I’ve been waiting for this review. The amount of care and effort you put into this truck speaks volumes. I’ve no doubt that the title is correct. The worlds cleanest 94 Ranger.
    If your gran coined the phrase give it the beans, that’d be awesome. There’s hardly a car channel that I know of that doesn’t use that phrase now.

  • @tonykeast9966
