    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
      Not to mention the freedom factory... Would you drive your truck in Florida to see cleatus...

    While I obviously never knew her, and you did say you don't care about impressing anyone, I think I can say with absolute certainty that your Gram would be very impressed with how you fixed up her truck.

    I think your gram would be proud. She took amazing care of it and you. It is one of the best restorations I’ve seen. Even the pin striping is OEM. It looked like it just rolled off the show room. Great job Sarah.

    I'd love to find a '94 Ranger myself.
    All the best to you.

    I can't give this truck enough likes which really should be hearts of love. I never wanted this build to end when you were filming it.

    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!

    The only thing better than how that truck turned out, is how you, Sarah, turned out. The pride you have with that truck, i doubt measures up with the pride your gramms had in you. Spectacular restoration, from your heart, and it shows.

I bet your Gram is SUPER proud of you and happy you still have it. You are such a sweetheart of a lady!! . (The brake test was funny AF by the way🤣🤣)

    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.
