Hi there. I have a Ranger myself that I bought in a bad shape and became a project I love. Enjoy a lot watching you enjoying yourself immersed in your project.
Thank you for this video. I really needed it today after getting chewed out at home, hearing a friend died of covid and many more friends and family facing a hurricane next door in Louisiana. You rock.
Stumbled on to this video to hear you were saving your Grandma's truck and that concept pulled me in. Then I see a lady just doing it to save Grandma's truck. Well spoken, interesting and no drama. How refreshing. Take care D
Just came across your channel, and subscribed. Great project! The nurse in me has to say this. Please, please, please wear some safety glasses, and protect those beautiful eyes. End of PSA. 😎
One well intendedrecommendation: put down in writing what this partnership or collaboration entails, preferably in a formal document. (Sarah already has a thriving channel, and if by any chance they decide to part ways some time in the future it would be much better for both of them to have things set straight from the beginning). We all have probably heard of many situations or parnerships that ended in a sour note… Best of wishes for both of them.
Sarah and Charlie together under a tent in the Arizona heat. Plus Charlie has a project and might or might not get on UA-cam. Total throwback to the early days of Mr. Dos. 👍🤘 Loving it.
Charlie will be a great addition, with him helping, you won't be stressed as much and your projects will definitely progress smoother and a bit quicker.
That frame is going to be better than new with the sandblast and powder coat! BTW, after watching you turn yourself into a pretzel in that desert heat to get the work accomplished AND to film this video… few people work as hard as you as a YT creator. Thanks! 👍
I had a Mazda/Ranger as my daily driver from when it was new in 94 up until 2007. One thing you should check is the gas tank, a crack formed and I was unable to fix it. Ended up getting a new tank for $500 (back then). Same thing happened to my neighbor's Ranger. Right before I traded it in for the Tundra, we took it to his shop and swapped tanks. Also took my rear sway bar since his didn't have one.
This video had the type of content that made me subscribe to your channel. Heck yea ... heavy equipment, air-powered tools, cranes, power washer, rust flying, and even a little lizard that sorta looks like a scorpion. Well done Sarah, you're making your Grandma very proud. Now how about my idea of stuffing a supercharged VR6 into that TT? 😁
Deep respect to you, Charlie and anyone else working when it's so hot, even in the shade. I find it hard to leave my armchair, let alone do stuff in real life, unless conditions are perfect..! Maybe tomorrow..🤔
Sounds like me. I'm 78 and been retired 6 years now from floor covering. Always liked working on my old cars, had a million of them. Still have all my tools in the garage and have fun working on my 03 Durango 4WD , and 04 Audi Quatro., but only if the weathers right, and the beer is cold!! My 1st. time to this channel. I'll be back!
Literally my week is spent looking forward to your new videos thanks so much for all your recent stuff really enjoyed the road trips. You'll be at 500k in no time
I’m so glad Charlie could quit his job and help you more. That Ranger is going to be mint when you get done with it. They are indestructible as it is. Keep up the great work Sarah. It’s almost time for a Little Sarah update if you can.
Former ford technician here, that orange stuff on the cab bolts and the blue stuff on the bed bolts is thread locker, not anti-seize. that's how it comes from Ford. That cable is also a ground from the cab to the frame. Also, those bolts holding the bumper, they aren't stripped. That's a Ford bracket, two studs pressed into that dogbone shape. Love the project, can't wait to see where it goes. As someone who lives and works in MA, seeing both of those Rangers as clean as they are is mind blowing
I am *so* glad that you've decided to do this restoration. It's a great tribute to your gram . . . . . and you'll end up with a nice little putt-putt in the end. .. and yes, I drive a Ford Ranger (2008 XLT, 5-speed manual)
You should film some of Charlie's builds on your channel. You two are a force together. His skills compliment yours. Such hard work you've done in the heat. I envy you such energy. I'm 79 yrs old and get tired just watching you guys. Another great video. Can't wait for the TT content, I once owned the 225 version of your car.
Don't think so. It would be a flat braided cable if it was and it wouldn't be anywhere near that gauge. That was a proper load cable with swaged ends. Probably bolts to the cab near the seatbelt mounting points, for severe head- on impacts.
At nascar tech, they made us take the front end of a ranger apart n put it back together and timed us. So simple. This is prolly your easiest project car yet lol.
I’m doing the same thing with a Bronco II. I dread it, but it has do be done. A/C lines, brake lines, steering column, fuel lines, accelerator cables, brake booster, wiring harness, etc.
Don't know if you read old comments, but you drove through my parent's ranch on your road trip! If you want to look into that 4 bay shop, ask star link about a dish there. They have hooked up several businesses in that middle of nowhere.
awesome Video Sarah! and I like the Idea of flipping between projects too. also glad that you found someone willing to help you with your projects as well. Just remember to pace yourself, and remember that Sarah needs "Sarah time" away from youtube as well.
This is the best project yet looking forward to seeing the great work you and charley will do to that truck your grandmother is looking down on you from heven
Hi Sarah, Having done the exact same thing, only reversed, I strongly recommend not disposing of anything from your "parts picker" until you have driven around in the finished Ranger for about a week. There are a zillion little clips and little parts that the parts truck can provide.
Great vid! You may want to save that bed and your other frame rails. A matching expedition-style trailer would be a cool build especially if it had a removable camper! Just a suggestion (once you sell or give it away, thats it!).
Is it bad for the UA-cam algorithm to like a video in the first 5 seconds? It has gotten to the point with all of Sarah's videos that I just trust every upload is worth a like 👍 😊 I just don't want to forget before autoplay moves on.
I've just found your channel having restored my mum's Cavalier on mine. It's great when there's a family connection to a project, and I'm very jealous of all your wife open space compared to the UK! Great content, another subscriber here.
Little tip I live in Phoenix I know how hot it gets in Arizona. When your car is parked outside before you turn it off turn the wipers on and turn off so that they're at the halfway mark. Then take your sunscreen and put it on the outside of the window not the inside holding it down with the wipers. Then your window won't get to be 140° and it will keep your car a lot cooler. It'll only get to be 120°😋and only someone that lives in the desert knows that that's a bunch. 20° is 20°😄
@@nitcat1 🤭 I have all my AC vents pointed at the steering wheel and keep a couple rags and a pair of gloves with a sheepskin cover on my steering wheel 🔥
Cleaning that in that 104 degree heat is nasty....I used to live in Oregon and grew up in NYC and know about that dry heat and humid heat. The truck bed looks in great condition, can't wait to see the final.
I've been out of the AF for almost 20 years, and I just referred to AGE equipment yesterday while talking about airline ground crews. Call it whatever you want, Sarah!

It's like fate! You found the perfect parts car that is going to make your grandma's truck go for decades more. Best wishes.
Awesome to see the rebuild of Grandmas truck!
Charlie seems like one of the quiet geniuses! I love this truck contect!
You are a hard worker thats for sure
Very determined lady! Treat her nicely!
Really enjoying the Ranger restoration content!
I am happy to see Charlie involved in this project as a tribute to your Grandma.

@@jpcheco I don't know if you are aware but Sarah and Charlie collaborated very early on her channel. Look at the first episodes of Mr. Dos...
Sarah and Charlie together under a tent in the Arizona heat. Plus Charlie has a project and might or might not get on UA-cam.
Total throwback to the early days of Mr. Dos. 👍🤘
Loving it.
Sarah seems like the most chill person on earth
Loved your "AGE" reference. I moved plenty of it during my F-15 avionics days!
That frame is looking pretty clean. Can’t wait for it to be Sarah-n-Clean. That is going to be one sweet truck 🛻 when it’s done.
Sarah-n-Cleaned should be her third channel where it's basically a detailing video, or just automotive cleaning ASMR. Mmmmmmmmmm
It is super entertaining the various acft mx references you throw it. I'm currently an E&E tech, so I get it. Keep up the great work!
Congrats on the new boy friend!

Yesterday
wHAt!! Charlie is on the payroll? Awesome and Congrats
For some reasume You blow my mind! I don't want to say about your knowledge. im blown away!
I'm crying because I need that cab and and even a frame, would love to return it back to Canada.
Come get the cab then!
@@SarahnTuned Wish I could.
I’m so glad Charlie could quit his job and help you more. That Ranger is going to be mint when you get done with it. They are indestructible as it is. Keep up the great work Sarah. It’s almost time for a Little Sarah update if you can.
The Ranger will be better than new once Sarah is done with it.
The Ford't gag got an audible groan out of me, so well done Sarah.
Charlie my hat is off to you! You're always there to help
Be careful Sarah, heat exhaustion is no joke. Gotta keep those electrolytes in check. You were in beast mode stripping that parts truck.
Thanks Sarah! Nice find.

Love the direction you're going with the ranger. Excited to see the swap.
Ok,just ramble on! I learn a lot.
This is gonna be such a cool project. Looking forward to seeing the resto process.
Very nice Sarah. Don't be afraid of firing up the torch to heat up the nuts. Let the torch be your friend. Otherwise it looks like you did just fine.
Cool channel! Don't ask me how the YT algo got me here, but here I am on a Saturday night in Ramstein, Germany bing-watching your channel.
You seem very happy and relaxed. So happy for you. Keep up the great work!
That Cable from the Body to the frame is actually a Grounding Cable.
Don't think so. It would be a flat braided cable if it was and it wouldn't be anywhere near that gauge. That was a proper load cable with swaged ends. Probably bolts to the cab near the seatbelt mounting points, for severe head- on impacts.
@@TyphoonVstrom and not plated copper, high strength wire rope👍
It’s an anchor for the seatbelts, it attached to the passenger and drive belts and looped under the frame. Not a ground.
Sweet! Grams Ranger is moving forward! Looking forward to this build! Thanks Sarah! 👍😎

People will pay big money for those, now that the new ones are out.
@@Mr.Ramirez95 I’ve heard the same thing.
I'd like to see you discuss how you keep track of the bolts and the parts from the two vehicles as you're doing the teardown.
My grandma had a turquoise single cab Ranger too 🥰
Welcome back to actually restoring vehicles! It's great to see you back to where you started! Great video!
My best friend in high school had a ranger pickup that we bombed around MN in the winter. It was an absolute blast. This series is top-notch!

You have such a great sense of humor.
