Can a Ceramic Coat save 35 year old paint? And sorting out all of the Ranger's issues with LKQ parts 

This was much more interesting than the typical "how to" RU-vid repair video

“…make it look less meh…” - the goal for all the cars I ever owned! 🤣

Nothing better than a good old junk yard tour. You can take me along any time!!

👍 on the salvage yard videos.

I mentioned this same comment on JR's site. I never cared for the Ranger or the Bronco II when they were new. Now my opinion has totally changed. I really enjoy watching you bring them back to life. I'm going to tell my friend Paul about your tailgate repair when we work on his truck this weekend.

Doing the old scrap yard thing...takes me back a few years. Looking forward to the continuing story!

These videos are getting better and better

love this channel since you started your own many times on JR's channel I always asked where's Josh , we love him

Definitely less meh. Nice quick fix on the tailgate!

Good video Josh, it's always fun to explore the wrecking yard.

I love pick a part places... when it's not hot! :-D

Mustang hell. Cracked me up there Josh. You're lucky you made it out alive.

Best upload yet! They just keep getting better and better. This free entertainment is great

Man I’m diggin that little truck now, good shit Josh!

Josh! take us on a junkyard tour anytime!

Great being along for the journey - thanks for the invite...

Great looking Ranger.

great concept for a video, liked the text comments you edited in as well- not just your typical YT junkyard walk, this was much more enjoyable

JC Whitney - havent heard that name in forever. I wonder if they still sell oogah horns? Ranger looks fantastic!

Josh, that looks bomb... good job

Sliding back window and buckets 👍

What a transformation. That truck is a beast!

A little attention and TLC turned that into an enviable old truck! Looks great!

Watching this video makes me want to get a little truck like that. Brings back memories of my dad's 80's era B model Mazda.

Dude, this is becoming quite the truck! Nice work!

Gunga Glunga! Haha looking good man! 💪🏼😎

Stoked to see it with the new wheels, keep it up man👌 looks good.

doing a great job with these videos..keep up the great work

I love both of them so much. Have a liking for old trucks of that era, especially fords. Love what you do man!

Patina and clear coat for the win 😀

Two of my favorites Bronco and Ranger …. loved the older style … Bronco II and Ranger of those years shared similar parts like Falcon and Mustang did in the 60s … I also love FORD … and not on the road dead 😳

I love getting parts at the salvage yard to fix up my vehicles too. Have always enjoyed that. Sweat equity. ☺👍

love the content - plus the insets you add really help understand what your talking about

Maybe you can get some wide vinyl pin stripes that will cover the bad transition line? Something with a 3/4 inch portion and then a 1/4 inch space with a 1/8 inch stripe.

From Melbourne Australia, fantastic updates to the ute.

Great video man! The content was awesome and I absolutely love the patina on the truck after you cut that oxidation off of it!

Would love to see the chrome strip installed. Truck is looking great!

Keep going AF brother!

Loving the Patina look great job

Looks better!

I'm sure all those interiors have that U-Pull-It yard smell!

I've gotten nuts, bolts and light bulbs like that. I have loose nuts and bolts 🔩 in my box. 1 or 2 they're not gonna miss.

My first truck was an 86 ranger just like that. Mine was a "sport", but there was nothing sporty about.

Great Content brotha, ranger is looking great!

Thanks Josh! I'm really enjoying these videos, these small trucks are awesome and i'm planning on restoring a Bronco 2 myself as well and i need a lot of help as i am not a mechanic hehe

Thanks for sharing 👍

It’s coming along great.

Sliding Back Window And Buckets ... lol

I hope those steel rims are safe as jacks... don't get crushed!

I'd love to find another clean 1st gen ranger.

Great video, in Connecticut junk yards don't let you go take parts off of cars anymore.

What a nice junkyard. All the ones around here are grownup weed patches full of snakes.

Next time you use clear get the Tractor supply Majic clear it flows better looks like glass and hides striping. The big but is it is slow to cure, dry to touch in an hour but can take a week to fully cure.

Great "fix old shit" video!

goto a boat supply they got wide chrome stick on mouldings that match

when you cleared the roof...maybe tape some old newspaper around it.. very old school 😅

I believe only the 4.0s had the 8.8.

I put 1996 ranger seat belts in my 1980's ranger. The original seat belt design the way it worked when you pulled on it, only worked when hit the brakes or got hit...I don't trust that design. 1996 seatbelt---yank hard on the belts they catch.👍

That LKQ should have a Badussy Index on their website being so close to that plant, the smells there sometimes is intoxicating.

The grill flashed on the screen when you shot the video outside. Did you replace the grill or is that the one you want to replace? It looked pretty good in the video.

Look up Bad Chad, he uses a lot of adhesive plastic home.

Safety Last , Josh ?🤫

Would you ever engine swap it? Like put a more modern 3.0 EFI?

I am shocked you don't have more subs.... Ole JR hasn't given you a plug? Or are you just wanting to grow organicly? Nice video pace.... I sub'd I think I would have bent the tabs up a little on the tailgate handle deal, the tabs that the part you added metal to contact.... Your way is most likely better but I think it would have also worked with less hands on time

How did you keep the buffing/cutt compound from spraying everywhere?

Time to drop a Mustang 5.0 in it...

How much sleep do you get a night?

Better than JR

fun project - don't sell it!

Why do you need seatbelts…you are not wearing one in the video….never mind
