15:35 the beeping is the airbag module. You no longer have your airbag impact sensors on the front so it beeps 5x in a set of 5 every 45ish minutes to let you know the system has a fault. The module is in the passanger kick panel just unplug it and take it out. Should be a blue box. Will not hurt anything if you remove it. Ive owned five 96 rangers and all had that issue. Hope you see this and it helps.

15:34 I used to have a 1998 Ranger. It used to beep five times and repeat five times. If thats what is happening in your Ranger, its because the airbag indicator light is burnt out. When the indicator is out, it beeps to alert you that the airbag is on. To stop the beeping, all you should have to do is replace the indicator light.

At 6:50 drum brakes have a higher initial clamping force than comparably sized discs, but they overheat quickly. Rear drums are great for a daily driver because they wear more slowly than discs so they're overall low maintenance.

Drums on the Tacoma were great. Everyone complained about them, but I bet they weren't complaining when their brake job only cost $150-$175 for only the front and maybe a single can of brake cleaner for the rear drum shoes. No idea what's on there now, but hopefully it's disc brakes for a $48k medium sized truck!

So this video series is perfectly timed for me, because I am very curious as to what it takes to build such a truck, and hopefully, finish the race!!

Those yellow dots on the new tires are the factory balance point. The manufacturer puts it there so you can line the yellow dot up with the valve stem, since it's the heaviest spot on the rim. Makes for an easier balance job with less weight.

It will be a whole lot smoother if you lift the front a bit more to gain some travel and remove one or two of those leafs from the rear leaf spring packs to soften things up. The less bumpy and more like a Cadillac you get that ride and the faster you will be able to go. If you don't feel the bumps the suspension is traveling up and over the obstacle as is the goal vs bouncing off of it. Great work though, I love ranger prerunners. Fun trucks to have as a daily driver in the high desert.
