The Final Struggle.. Cab Swap // '94 Ranger Frame-Off Restoration 

You're doing a great job on your grandma's truck Sarah. Congratulations.

I’ve gotten to the point with these ranger videos that I’m sad when the video ends, I wish they were a hour long lol. That truck is going to be amazing when you’re done.

Sarah-N-Overhauled. Honestly you are doing amazing work. Few would do even half the work you do on this restoration. You bring honor to your gram with all this work.

Not only do you have a monumental task of getting this Ranger showroom ready, the additional time you must take to adjust the camera and edit and edit and edit is unreal. Great Job and entertaining :)

Damn… that’s amazing how little surface rust is on the underside of that cab for a 28-year old New Hampshire vehicle! I’m always impressed by what it must take to remember how to reassemble so many different items days after disassembly. As usual, attention to detail is off the charts. Great video. 👍👍👍 Finally, Happy Birthday this coming Tuesday, Sarah! 🎂🍰 🐧

Watching you put 100k in restoration in a 4k truck is very satisfying for some reason. It's the ultimate act of love over money.

Entertainment is your super power.

This video is a cautionary tale on the perils of schmutz transfer. Your attention to detail is a lesson to us weekend restorers.

They did such a great job on the engine bay paint.

Gotta say, these videos breathing life back into older workaday vehicles (Ranger, Xterra) are much more interesting than the exotic (to me) reviews or the sporty autos.

"I love this show." - GIR This right here is one of the best things on the internet for me. Can't wait to see the Ranger back up and runnin'!

Sarah , your doing a awesome job on the truck , be safe my friend

The hood you were wearing in the beginning needs to hook to a fresh air supply so you can breathe and it also keeps your head cool, compressor with a filter regulator is what you needed, carry on

Hello Sarah !!

Another great vlog Sarah. Amazing how you were able to remove all that rust. Love your humorous comments. Always entertaining.

WOW! Almost complete. I'm impressed with how thorough you have been throughout this restoration of your grandma's truck, although I shouldn't be having watched your work over the years. Can't wait to see it when it's finished.

Dig the doom metal music during cab mounting bolt removal. Thank you for the shorty shorts.

Like watching a talented surgeon bringing someone back to life! Cudos to Sarah..

The paper mask was better than nothing. Respirators are not only great for fumes, but also solid particles! Sanding dust, rust busting, grinding...glad to see a channel using PPE. You influence a lot of people

They have some decent full face respirators on Amazon that work really well, I haven't touched my half face respirator / goggles in forever I just use the full face and it is great! Also if you use the full face, be sure to put your hand between your hair and the straps when tightening them, or you will have a bad time, don't ask how I know.

When you blew the dust off your lens I felt a breeze hit my face and I was like "OOOOOOO SARAH MAGIC VIDEO BREATH!!!" Then I realized it was my oscillating fan. That freaked out the crazy cats that live in my brain for like a second. Bro.

"I'll wash more than just my nose" My Imagination just overheated 😂😂😂 You are doing a fantastic job!

I think this is the dirtiest i have ever seen you, you are remarkably clean for all the work you do, always amazes me. Love your channel

Happy Birthday, Sarah! Thanks for your relentless pursuit of perfection in workmanship, production, and presentation.

Loved the part with the impact driver and the metal 🤘🏻

That rust converter will create a durable, protective coating. Better than new! Grandma's truck is a jewel! Love watching your attention to detail. All the best, Rob in Switzerland

You're a life saver Sarah, i am gonna stop making my Ultra lights out of pop sickles. I mean, i wondered why they kept crashing during summer ! When i get out the hospital , i am gonna start over, maybe try ice cream :)

SARAH!!!!!

havent been following this channel for awhile but happy to see the progress you've made on the family truck what and inspiration you are to people who think they cant do this kind of work you go girl

The body bolts are a metal on metal fit. That is a lot of friction to overcome when you remove them. Hence the heat generated! Well done young lady! Retired mechanic here. Really enjoy your videos.

Looks unbelievably clean, rust-free!

Can't wait till Sarah n tuned reaches 500k subscribers until then i will keep watching 😁

Sarah, you're attention to detail is impressive! Sorry day when you got out of the Air Force for sure. Plus your running commentary is always cracking me up. Great job Sarah. Won't be too much longer and you'll be at 500K following your work.

The choice of song when you were pulling those bolts was very appropriate!

I freaking love you sense of humor

Ok, 9:13 - 9:23 was absolutely epic! You’re a beast!

The most positive mechanic I’ve ever seen. 😂

You Grandma would be so happy about you showing her old truck so much love.

Grandma would be blown away by your awesome work. Hope you never let this one go.

This is turning out great! I can't wait for the next video!!

This restoration is impressive. Great work Sarah. Love your attention to detail…and quirky commentary.

Thank you for all you do to entertain and enlighten your avid viewers.

Look at all the rust, get it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rust bust sucker 1000, Crazy-ness, The most loved Ranger in the World

Hello from Manchester UK 🇬🇧 , we love you videos x

Awesomeness 😊 I live in Ontario Canada and since I have to replace my subframes ( Mazda 😢 need I say more ) I have to buy new ones . I am torn between nickle plating or something else . YES ! I have priced out cold plating and I am definitely getting the hardware done and the parking brake components but found I can get things bundled at a lower cost. Still gonna be mad expensive but we have too much salt especially now with the crazy weather we are having . And hey I am single and no kids to support. Thank you for sharing Angel hugs and blessings to you and yours.

Have a happy easter

cannot wait to see the end result of all the hard work you have put into this truck you would put most men to shame your video content is amazing .

Your attention to detail is an inspiration, keep it up!

When I did the frame off restoration on my dad's 92 Silverado I used the 3M strip it disk on the rust scale then coated the rust with naval jelly and plastic wrap. The jelly took that rust down to shiny metal . Great job Sarah gram would be proud.

Sara, that cab bolt isnt the only thing " Smoking " in this video , only if I was 30 yrs younger, keep up the great videos & stuff

LOL Dexter shower curtain ha ha! Loved that show! 🐧🐧🐧

I found your channel a while back when I was shopping for a car. This series has been particularly interesting because I have a 2011 Ranger and have been contemplating upgrading the suspension similar to what you've done. I want it to stay looking mostly stock, just be more capable. Thanks for the great info, entertaining content, and corny jokes!

Smokin’ bolts soundtrack was on point! 🔥

Beauty Brains and a great sense of humor. looking forward to seeing the finished truck.

It’s coming together very nicely, Sarah! 😎

love the songchoice when you were removing those cab bolts, fit the mood very well

THAT WAS FAAAAAST!!!! Never been so early before...

Maybe I'm crazy, but I actually like the smell of PB Blaster... reminds me of CNC machine oil from being in shops and around shop equipment as a kid.

Some serious work there...awesome job

Ouch ! 😣 I have dirt in my eyes 👀 Sarah ! 😎 I’ve should’ve wear eye 👁 protection while watching .

I cannot get over the level of effort you set out and achieve. I would never have the self-confidence to remove a pickup cab and transfer it. Bravo.

13:04 Splooge. Wipe, wipe, wipe. All day long. ... I love you Sarah! Watching your videos makes me feel so alive. Light moments like that has a way of rejuvenating one's soul somehow.

You are the star of the clip. I should be the truck.

You DO always close your eyes when you blow! 🤣🤣

DIY problems require DIY solutions. 👍🏻

8:45 the classic double reach around, nice technique!

Getting closer and closer Sarah.

You did a fantastic job! The ranger looks better than new! Nice looking truck

Derusting my 02 Ram I've had since new. Michigan winters have taken it's toll on the rockers and the front mounts on the box. I hate doing body work, but I'll be alright. This video definitely gets me motivated to keep going.

I think there's a real shortage of females in this world who can not only do a frame off resto with no fear but are also Adam Sandler fans...That makes me sad and also very thankful we have you, Sarah!!!

Happy birthday beauty 🧁🎈🎉💓✨ I hope you enjoyed your day!

Lol... You're a trip Sarah..." The Dexter Curtain....". Lmao

Somehow a very satisfying video, seeing the cab taken off the rusty old frame, the rust removal and the old frame sitting outside. It looks like a big relief too. Beeing finally done with the rusty old frame.

Blew on the camera to clear the dirt and at first I thought you didn't get it. That's right. The dirt was on my display the whole time.

Heavy-metal with the impact wrench was awesome!

Wow Sarah another great video. You’re making me want to restore my 03 ranger back it’s former glory. Can’t wait to see more. Thanks for being so awesome!!

That truck is gonna be the finest tribute to your grams; awesome work! Thank you for sharing something so personal, even if we need to sometimes wear safety glasses watching your videos!

That under carriage got me so excited i had to go weld something

The music you laid over while removing those large cab bolts was perfect.

Next it will be Mop Mop Mop haha. But yeah, your Grandmother has the biggest smile on her face right now watching over you.

Incredible effort and attention to detail! Hopefully one day you will have enough Patreon support to enable you to hire minions for the dirty work. Take care Sarah.

i find your attention to detail so extremely satisfying ✌️🐝➕

Old bed sheets make awesome dust covers for the car! I get mine from goodwill ! great video!

The rockers on that body style are galvanized

Amazing. Great milestone. That heavy metal track has me ready for work for sure. I can't imagine how tired your arms got working upwards. So wish you had a rig to rotate the body to work. Can't wait for the paint vid.

Playing the long game with this Ranger Reno: the odds are in your favour. ++

Hey Sarah, I replaced the cab isolator bushings on my '85 Ranger by myself. It can be done but my truck is from northern Kentucky and the hardware wasn't as rusted as yours. You are going to need to remove the old bushing retainers from the old frame. The retainer is in two pieces (upper & lower). You're going to need to either beat them apart or make a retainer separator tool. There are videos on YT that will show you what you need (but I bet Charlie can help if you didn't figure it out already). You can get new ones, if you decide the old ones are shot. It can be a crappy job but having the cab off the old frame makes it much easier. And (early) Happy Birthday!

Ermahgerd!!!!!! It’s sooooo close!!! Awesome Sauce!! Keep up the great work! Millywahkay, 1/2” impact gun doing the work, amazed it didnt just blow it in half things a beast! 👍

Hey Sarah, you’ll never have to prove your dedication again you really went the extra mile on that one. if that cab or come off that lift I think I would’ve Cried. And I can’t get it over how tough you are thanks for sharing this special project have a great night🐧🐧🐧👍

Have a great Easter, you deserve it.

Wow, great work as usual. Really looking forward to the finished product. Best Ranger ever. 😎

OP your dedication is nothing short of amazing. It is cool to see you do so well on YT.

You Definitely go the extra mile. With all of your work. That’s a big part of why I watch.

Super Sarah, Grams truck is looking great! After that work, you need a Spa 1/2 day! I don't want to stick my head into that! 😂

Love your videos always can't wait to watch the next videos amazing knowledge off cars gorgeous ..

The impacting and the metal music just sent all the right vibes. Lol

I love the epic rock jam when the ratchet gun is going. Nice!🤖🤘

Astronaut with A Wrench! 🌌 🚀 AssBlaster 2000! 🔆🔆🔆 Fallout Rustic Frame under the Truck, I would paint 🎨 Yellow! 💛

The way you have to arrange the shop for the Ranger; you must have mastered the Fox, Chicken, and Grain riddle.

as always far more than just another resto with Sarah, in such a messy world it's so refreshing to have such order and detail, love it
