..Suspension Upgrade Almost Fit // Ford Ranger Frame-off Restoration 

"Mind your p's and q's comes from the printing trade. Typesetters had a large tray of cast lead type to set up printing, and the lead is reversed from the image it will print. So p and q are easily confused, especially if an apprentice had mixed up sorting the type. If you've never seen an original Linotype type casting machine, or seen hot lead type cast, you'd find it fascinating. Especially the pots of molten lead, which look dangerously like pots of clear cool water.

The ranger is rapidly becoming a real favorite to me. The fact that it was your Grandma's is one of the things I love about it. As is the case with all the work you do, it's going to be better than new. Thanks Sarah.

You are my favorite rebuilder on RU-vid because you take the time to clean and paint your parts and assemblies as you go. Keep up all the great work.

You're one the few RU-vidrs that make me smile almost continually throughout your videos. And yes, that bracket's going to bother you, as will the rusty torx(?) bolt... What innuendo? We're all adult here. We know what thing are ribbed for.

Your attention to detail… I have much respect!

The dreaded frame swap! Sarah one thing is for sure, you are not afraid of hard work. So admirable. ❤️🙏🍀

Your attention to detail is impeccable

It's sunday morning, and again you've brightened my day. Thanks Sarah...😊🌷

Sarah n' Tuned: Making car content and updating us on her nails, love it.

That is going to look SO nice once it's done. No cutting corners on this job. Way to go.

All new is the Best when you put it all together. Makes a lot of fun

That frame is cleaner, and painted more thoroughly than new trucks. I have to say Sarah, knowing you're building vehicles that mean a lot to you, makes your channel great. Your personal attachment really shows!

You are a great presenter and know your stuff. Thank you

Seeing the MAINE plate makes me happy. Lived in Maine my while life.

I was taught mind your p’s and q’s was an old Navy term, barkeeps would mark a p or q for pints or quarts while the ship was in port and the Sailors would have to square up before leaving.

Now that's attention to detail......eye shadow matches the Ranger's paint. 🔥

Your videos are always so joyful! You often say that you work all the time but you love what you do.I think that's important in life.

i forgot to say , THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE last week

Don’t you just love the Sarah smirk when she thinks about or looks at that awesome Audi 😂

You're perfect! You like Rangers, Isuzu Impulse's and can recite Vanilla Ice while fixing a frame in Daisy Duke shorts and long nails, and you have a very, very, very clean shop, which the majority of You Tubers don't have clean shops, just awesome! I'm actually looking for a Ranger build myself, thank you for the inspiration!

The Izuzu Impulse was available in Canada. I loved them when I was younger. Forgot all about them even having existed. Glad to see all the progress on the Ranger. Hope you can get the shock situation sorted easily.

It's coming along nicely Sarah. Grandma would be so proud to know what you are doing to her Ranger.

Happy Sunday Sarah!!! I was a car handler at Jim Clicks back when those Rangers were new. That color seemed to stand out on those and the similarly colored Mustangs. The inside of yours is a total time warp. Stay excellent!!!😎

Seems like Sara never takes a day off. Enjoying the Ranger content. "P's and Q's"- because small case letters are inverse reflections of each other

The Ranger Things pun was very funny, cleverly referring to the fantastic show, "Stranger Things". It becomes even funnier when you realize that Sarah spent some of the time of this video "Upside Down", checking part and bolt placement on the Ranger. As they said on "Jurassic Park", "clever girl". Well done, Sarah!

Document while you disassemble is rule #1... Love your attention to detail. Great channel.. thanks

Thanks for uploading. Super fun and informative watch. Making my 05 ranger feel a bit more accessible.

Been loving your time lapse\filler music in the last few videos ! Makes me smile and feel happy ! 😁

1:35 thank you for being a good example and leaving the guard on your angle grinder. Another channel modding an XJ removed it and managed to result in injuries, and still treated it like this was normal.

You MUST innuendo everything!

I love the smile and the look on ur face when u watch or talk about the Audi (baby) 😍👍

Note to Sarah .... on your front shocks, where is the rubber grommets and curved washers that are installed on both sides? Upper and lower rubber grommets and curved washers is what your missing to take up the slack in the shock stem......

Love the eyes!

I love your videos because you build the vehicle if it came from the factory and it a longtime you didn't do a detailed one keep doing a great job beautiful

It's a beautiful day in Tucson

P & Q's Means pints and quarts From England, means the measure of beer you are ordering from the bartender at the pub.

I had a 1991 Geo Storm GSI. Loved that car! I had so much fun driving that car

I admire the amount of time and work that you do.♥️

Sarah you do excellent work! A true professional. That Ranger is going to look almost as awesome as you! I thoroughly love your videos keep up the excellent work. I try to watch every one of your episodes. Stay safe, healthy and have a wonderful week 🌹🇺🇸✌️

Bound to be the cleanest 94 Ranger in the world! 🌎

I got a bone to pick with you. I just remembered that you have an Amazon store link I used it months ago and completely forgot since. Sorry, I won't say how much I have ordered during that period of time.. To the point... I just created a link on my bookmarks bar to your store and who pops up with a link to a new episode? Letting you know how much some have you living in their heads rent free. The reason I saw your notice is do to an Amazon email to inform me that the remainder of my last order had just landed on my front porch. The bone is... occasionally, every once in a while, from time to time, every so often, just remind folks that your Amazon stor has a link in the discription so stroke victims like me won't forget. Amazing video production as ever... can't say that enough. That assembly content is pure ASMR gold.

This has been another great video, Sarah. Well done, and the Ranger frame looks great and the truck is going to look super nice when you get done . Your grandmother will be up there looking down smiling and saying that's my Sarah, go girl . I have to say it again, your an amazing woman, Sarah . I love how that you put so much detail into every thing that you work on and I have to say that I am a lot like that myself . If it's worth doing, then it's worth doing right and to the best of my ability . So I will see you later and always enjoy doing, doing what your doing, just being Sarah . Best wishes with the Ranger, till you get truck rebuild finished, and you can stand back, look at it and smile and be proud of what that you have just accomplished and dedicate it to your grandmother . As always, Jeffrey !!!

Sarah is probably the best and most meticulous mechanic I’ve ever seen! great attributes when working on and rebuilding cars!!

We're just glad you wore shorts and a crop top!

I loved the Geo Storm. Really dug those eyelids above the headlights that would raise a little when you would turn the headlights on. Good times.

Because New Hampshire Live freeze or die. Love the work you do Sarah!

your detours into other topics are so amazing. I get lost sometimes and have to rewind and watch it again because I think that I blacked out but then I realize nope it Sarah.

Sooooooo cute with the glasses

Wow, I wish I could have seen this back in March when I replaced the radius arms, springs and shocks on my 97 Ranger. Yours is so much cleaner and you can see everything with out the body on it, or the hubs attached. It looks great so far!

Yeah, I noticed you look rested and also noticed, you always look amazing. Not that I was lookin or anything.

Great job Sarah

P&Q's. Your Please (P's) and Thank Q's (You)....or basic manners, that's what my mum told me! Thank you Sarah, more content please.😀 🇬🇧

HAD to give a like at 4:43 for the jingle. I was thinking it in my head and you started singing it 🤣

Basic assembly is so much more when Sarah is doing it. It's the narrative and humor.

I never tire of the Norm Abrams reference. Ranger is spotless.

There's nothing wrong with having OCD, it will come in handy when you start working on Suzie Quattro. Keep up the good 👍 work.

That is one gorgeous chassis! And the truck's not bad either.

I could watch this all day.

Lol you're quite the comedian. The beginning song you attempted to sing was funny and also made me feel so old.

Yes… “accoutrements” is correct. As you know, that word appears on many of the sun visor stickers you read to us, so it MUST be the correct term. 😉 Great to see the Ranger content, Sarah. Thanks! 👍👍👍

You should get a leveling kit for the Ranger, since stock Rangers sit lower in the front. Your Bilsteins would work then.

So amazing! Grammy would be tickled pink!

I use "accoutrements" almost every day to describe parts and accessories. "P's and Q's"; because kids, when learning to write, would mix up their lower-case p's and q's. Those Isuzu/Lotus cars were killer. SO much fun to drive! Thanks, Sarah! ✌️❤️🙂

Great video Sarah

I had 2 Storms - a slow slushbox, and then inherited my old man's GSi with a 6-speed. It was a riot, like a go-cart minus the helmet.

Gran-ger is looking good. It is going to be one sweet ride. It will also help in picking up all those big car parts that don’t fit in Gump.

Always a joy to see your "hootenheisers and accoutrements"! Great progress on the frame and suspension reassembly. I have never seen this kind of work done before, especially with clean like new parts. This truck is going to drive like it's right off the assembly line!

This Ranger is my favorite project to date! My dad bought an 84 new and I inherited it from him in 93 when he passed. I kept it five years, sold it to my best friend who drove the wheels off it. I really miss it. Great work Sarah!

"Hootenheisers" love it! You are doing a fantastic job on this restoration! Much respect !

Even though English isn’t my native language, I do appreciate how much I have learned with your channel, with your whimsical imagination to translate what it takes to embrace a goal, and specifically to be respected in this medium. You are a legend Sarah. I have been a keen VAG vintage models restoration follower and, as you will understand, I am also more than eager to see what’s in store with your legendary Audi Quattro.

I just enjoy watching your videos, and listening to you. I'm in aw with you and way you communicate to fans. You are awesome!

My new favorite RU-vidr!

You are in touch with your audience (me) with that RuPaul reference! ❤

An air hammer w/ chisel makes light work of those rivits. nice truck. I'm fixing my 94 up as we speak.

Thanks Sarah! Take the boot off the shock to confirm the length with the OEM shock.

Australian fan watching great videos 😁🇦🇺👍

Damn it. Hate it when you take a gamble hoping the dimensions are what they should be, only to find out they’re completely off. No worries, you’ll find the proper part. 👍🏻 Resto is coming along. 👏🏻

At 4:44 when you were doing the 20th century fox sound with the ratchet made me laugh cause I always do it too aha

Another great installment in the Ranger series. I couldn't help but smile when I saw a Ranger drive past yesterday, albeit a contemporary model.

"Not going to turn that into an innuendo....it should slide right in there...oh yeah" - lol nice

Good work! 👍

I use my air hammer to knock the heads of the rivets on the frame in about 20 - 30 seconds. Crazy glue works for broken nails.

Excellent progress. Amazing sunset. Thanks. UK.

We had the Isuzu Impulse in Canada and they seem to be quite scarce. Glad to hear that I am not alone in liking them! Keep up the great content! 😀👍

Excellence, thank you Sarah!!!

Smart and pretty too! Very nice job.

All right stop, collaborate and listen, Sarah is back with her brand new invention.

Damn it, I keep watching your videos. Because they are great, and because you’re amazing to look at 😂😅

Yes! Twin traction beams!

I have a 2002 4Runner project that is exactly the condition of ur ranger but all mechanics i’ve spoke to said it was too much work. So i shall live vicariously through your vids till i have the time to take the leap. Admire your workwomanship as always!

I owned a Geo Storm GSI when I was young. It was yellow, under powered and I loved it. Would love to see you pick one up and do a motor swap on it.

the old parts that make on to the reframe are survivors! Great work Sarah.

Hi Sarah. I owned almost the same truck, only mine was a 98 Mazda. I miss the gas milage, should have kept it. I rebuilt the engine. It had spun bearings due to a stripped oil pump drive gear. I polished the crank and installed Teflon bearings. I put forty thousand mil s on it and it ran great, but it was to small to pull my camper. P.S. Thanks for the great videos.

Your eyeliner matches the truck. Nice.

I truly love your OCD because I spend a lot of time making things look Perfect. Which is why a one week project takes me 6 months!!! 😂🤩👍

Not sure why but your videos make me happy, Thanx!

Stop, collaborate and listen. Sarah with the puns and innuendos if you don't watch this is what you are missing. Great video Sarah, please be sure to get enough rest and keep putting out the amazing content.

Ice is back with my brand new invention

I know you're working your tail off but you make it seem like you're having so much fun! Not like me dropping a fuel tank earlier today. Wasn't hard to do .....I'm just..... old...... and out of shape..............Everything hurts!!........ Love how the work on the Ranger is coming along! Thanks for allowing me to watch; I feel like I'm part of something!

Your channel is atractive to many people because of your dedication, and is eye-pleasing bc of your beauty. A fan of Sarah Reagan.
