Man I highly doubt you're gonna see this comment since this video is 2 years old lol but thank you for all the help. I've been lacking a lot in the mechanical knowledge department in comparison with my buddies and have been using your videos to help me understand them more. I'm also starting a car flip business with my buddies and your videos are helping make that possible for me to contribute with. I don't even have a vehicle yet lmao but thanks man

Hey Chris, very helpful video. I used this vid to completely replace my rear suspension on my 98 ranger. Instead of undoing the massive 21mm bolt like u did from the bigger, front bracket like you did, I drilled out all 4 rivets and replaced those brackets to. In doing this, I had to cut that bracket that holds the ebrake, as seen at 5: 06. I was wondering if you knew where I could find one of those brackets?

I hope you guys are ready for what I have been working on. It's going to be an epic next few months. That's all I gotta say about that.

And what did you think of my new shirt/design I was wearing at the end? Want one?

Iv got a 2001 ford explorer sport trac. (Sport tracs replaced the ranger then the ranger was brought back because of fuel economy) I'm working my ass off trying to get everything solid for traveling. Great video! I have an abundance of rust underneath the truck. I'm going to do exactly as you did.

Caution with the rubberized undercoating - when it develops holes, it will actually trap the salinated water and it will rust from the inside out.
Its probably better to finish painting and then apply POR-15, regularly apply fluid film, or take the car in for a yearly undercarriage oil spray.

Grandfather recently passed away and i received his Gen 1 Colorado.
Since then I've been trying to learn as much about fixing cars as possible because the truck is in an iffy state.
Thanks Chris for helping me learn about how to keep his ride alive

I know it isn't what this video was about, but I'm curious how the paint on the frame is holding up? I'm looking at painting the frame on my truck this summer, but I definitely want it to last and help slow/ stop the rust for a while

U-Bolts are one-time use due to stretching when torqued. When they get removed, it's always best to replace them. I know you did, but this is not something you mentioned.

You don't have to support the rear axle with one wheel removed and disconnecting U-bolts? I'm curious because I want to change my leaf springs on my f150

With all that rust you're better off jacking the radiator cap up and driving a new truck in under it. Assuming the radiator cap is good.
