I own a 2002 Ranger regular cab and i put a used shell on the back and its extremely helpful not just from thieves but the weather as well, My Ranger just hit 146,000 miles, Its a 3.0 V6 5spd, Tough ole gal. Great video.
Thanks @JayDogTitan , old Rangers, you just can’t beat ‘em. I found after installing the shell in handled the cross winds created on the interstate much better as well. Thanks for watching!
The cup holders and shift boot combo from the early B series Nisan’s fit the first generation ranger because they used the same thin tapered shift lever and the tunnel is super close if not made with the same tooling.
I love my 86 Ford Ranger. I opted for putting a truck bed lid on mine. It is like I have a giant trunk and you can access things from the side. In case I need to haul long boards, I can remove the truck bed lid and I had a roof rack made for it. I never see any Rangers with a 7 foot bed on the road like what you and I have. Maybe a collector item someday?
It’s been 25/30 years but you could at one point just order the key from the 3 digit number on the lock. I think I paid $6 for my key. Also RV cleaner is incredible for cleaning old cars and parts like the canopy. It’s gentle on finish and fiberglass but it takes off algae and tree sap like nothing else. By the time you get the second side sprayed the other side will be bleached out and all the gunk just wipes right off.
I love wrecking yards. My ex worked at one when we were first married, and I would walk around with him and think how at one time every one of those cars were new. And you’re right, they each have a story to tell! Also, you may not believe me, but I actually answered your “does anyone know what this is?” mystery question! Lol! I enjoyed this video.
Wendy that’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Love knowing you answered! So many individual stories and history in each of these yards. I sure appreciate you watching!
Looking at some of the wrecked up cars and trucks, you kinda wonder if somebody got killed in them though. Morbid thought, however still, you kinda wonder.
Reminder; it's NOT a junk yard! It's a salvage yard! A junk yard is the end of the road for cars and trucks and crushed!! A salvage yard is for re-use!!!
Tomato-Toma’to 😉 there’s a crusher on premises. Guess it just depends on what coast, or country you’re in at the moment. Some consider old cars ‘junk’ hence junk yard’. Remember, you can salvage from a junk yard, but you can’t junk from a salvage yard. 😉Thanks for watching!
ironically I did not make it...later in the evening I sent you the comment, I found a post of a guy selling what I am looking for. my wife and I are headed to new Hampshire tomorrow to possible drive it back.
This is comforting to watch
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

I enjoyed the junk yard walk through,took me back 30 years. I own an 87 ranger I'm fixing up, so I'll be doing my own junk yard trek soon.
Sounds great! I’ll be watching for it!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Nothing like walking through history.

Thanks for the advice Snake! I had not even considered RV cleaner! Brilliant!👍

You'll have to keep your eyes open for a slider back window for the pickup:) Then you will have access to the bed from the truck.
That'd be the deal for sure.
Love the Ranger...my first vehicle was an 85 ranger...Been looking for one for a while now, to have as a project truck
I'm not sure what part of the country you're in, but there have been several available in the southeast lately on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace
@@Thisguyandhiscamera I live smack dab in the middle in Kansas City, MO
I have the same truck ( 1989 xtracab) in France, it's very rare.
You have a '89... In France? That's Awesome!
Love your style man haha
Thank you Fabiano. Stay safe.
Glad to see your video my Brother
Thanks Frank! Many more to follow! Thanks for watching!

Or a canopy
thinkn bout going to a junkyard tomorrow....looking for something particular
How did it go? Find what you were looking for?
ironically I did not make it...later in the evening I sent you the comment, I found a post of a guy selling what I am looking for. my wife and I are headed to new Hampshire tomorrow to possible drive it back.
an old ford ranger
How much money did it cost you for that shell ?
I think I paid $100 for it.
Do you know the year and model of Toyota that the topper came off of?
Hi Jeff. I’ll run by there and see if they still have it. I’ll let you know.
@@Thisguyandhiscamera Thanks
Hey Jeff. Finally made it by to see the Toyota. It's a '90
Sorry, '91/4WD/VZN100L-TRMDEA on the door label/tag
Click it or ticket! Put your seat belt on!!
You should do some things like going to swap meets and yard sales finding things worth something
Thanks! That's a great idea. Stay tuned!
@@Thisguyandhiscamera love the junkyard videos
Thanks Fred!
@@Thisguyandhiscamera u welcome sir
miss my 1987 Ranger it was stolen in 1999
Oh no! That's Terrible 😞
3:27 its a gas tank
He also pointed to the fuel pump saying it was the sensors, then pointed to the EVAP canister (aka the sensors) saying they were the fuel pump. Oops.
E for effort. 😜
