In a previous video (https://youtu.be/H7D-k-_3phI) we replaced the rear shackles and hangers on this rusty Ranger and now it is time to finish off by replacing the broken front sway bar links and the coolant thermostat that is causing the engine light to come on. -Enjoy!

And again i remind you to stand in the drain pan to keep your feet dry 😊
come on man….. that could have been Cat-a-strofic……
oh what a sweet kitty â¤
Thanks for helping me out with the leaf springs on my 99 ranger.
China has been trying to name a city USA for years. I wonder if it slipped through finally
I didn’t realize the kids were home schooled, is that new? I don’t know how Mrs O does it all!! She’s a trooper!
Napa NO how 😉

May I ask- where are your Dog(s)?
Last I watched, you had a Husky named Chloe?
The study of math is the most cost effective way to form the brain into a problem solving machine.
Eric I am sure you are too busy to respond. But what brand air hammer are you using? If anybody knows please respond.
you had me subscribed at the cat mate lol
So uhh, where’s your eye protection? Love your channel btw
One day when you least expect it, napa or someone will offer you a sponsor now that say you don't want them to be one 😂
The liberals will hate this Mommy is in the kitchen dad is working in the garage. Oh man that's gonna hurt.
You two folks are just so funny. I can see Mrs. O's wheels turning as you speak to her. You know she has some great come backs but, because the camera is rolling, she holds back and just gives the camera a quick little smile. Cracks me up every time. I have to say, I know it's not a peaches and cream relationship, non are, but the banter you to have is wonderful and I hope there's more of that, then arguments. Keep up the great work, in and out of the garage!!!!
Hi great video. Luna the cat is beautiful.
Sure is a lot of rust
Best thing you could do for your kids, homeschooling is proving to be a very good thing when done by concerned, responsible parents like you two folks.
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes 🥸
I am so glad your not a dentist. 3:00 plus into it: can't believe that dammed tooth won't come out… Sawzall like dentist… Clamp his head…air hammer.
.
It removed two pounds of air from the right rear and turned the emergency flashers on
Safety squint engaged during that cut off wheel
The kitty was inspecting the sway bar vice gripped to the tie rod! haha!
Ah the challenges of being a parent……..DO YOUR SCHOOL WORK LOLOL
Oh,,,, havn't watched your vids for some time, so I had forgotten how much love, humor, skill (of course) there is here and how great souls you both are.
Go Napa. Who else has machine shops?
On my 2000 Ford Ranger 2 wheel drive I had to take the cutoff wheel to all four of my sway bar links because they were that rusted on period And I don't live in the Rust Belt.
You would make a great automotive instructor, I remember my teachers they knew their stuff.
