What did you do to your Ranger today?

[jlmotox]

Put her to work! Finally got to take the boat out! First time towing with the truck and I was very impressed, I’ve had in the back of my mind wondering if I made a bad decision getting the Ranger and not something bigger since getting rid of my diesel F250 but now that I towed my boat I can say 100% glad I got this truck!! That little 4 banger keeps impressing me!

Recently hooked up the camper for a test run. Ran up the pass a little ways, and it 'pulled real good'. No chance to actually camp yet. Looks like I'll need a slight hitch adjustment, too. Or more gear in the bed ...

I believe so. I think there are quite a few people on here with 265/70s with no lift on stock wheels.

I’m running 265/70s on my XLT, but I have 1 1/2 in spacers and 3 in lift and it still rubs

This is the first lower grille for trucks with adaptive cruise control from Mountains2Metal. Took 5 minutes, very easy to install, and looks clean!

Went on their website to buy one and couldn’t find it. Only ones without adaptive cruise control. How did you find it?

Got my steps put on over the weekend. Longest part was deciding driver side vs. passenger side ha. Not very well labeled. Tried some of that new turtle wax "ceramic" spray on the ranger and mustang. I know its not the real deal but seems okay. Water seems to bead well. A couple more coats might help more. It does buff out and shine very well. On a side note, Momma gave me the okay to buy wheels and tires and a level. Now the shopping begins. Can't wait, I love the steps, but they look a little out of place on a stock vehicle I feel.

This weekend, applied a Hybrid ceramic wax, so far pretty happy with that. Did my bike and the wife's van also.

My Eastern Kentucky Hillbilly engineering skills went into action and I made a handle for my armrest tray, took 5 inches of an old leather belt, folded it over and used some 3M tape to attach it to the tray. Makes it much easier to pull out when I want something in the bottom compartment.

Also installed Husky mud flaps.

I got it directly from them as a prototype, it'll be available soon.

Ordered a RC 2.5 kit and a stubby antenna to replace that ridiculously long stock one. 20 buck for the antenna, couldn't pass it up. On to wheel / tire shopping!

My Ranger got an oil change at the dealer today and a car wash. And a little later it will get a Course Motorsports phone mount!

Nice shine...What are you wearing, Jake, from State Farm?

Not too thrilled right now. I installed the Course Motorsports phone mount in my truck at it doesn't fit correctly AND it marred up the bezel of my stereo. I'm not happy.

Yikes! they should've had a rubber pad behind the mount! I bought this one here and it's worked great. Never moves or comes loose even when off road and it's just 3M tape to apply it.

It actually does have a rubber pad behind the mount. But as I tightened the bolt, it drew the mount into the face of the stereo and the rubber pad smushed out of the way. The mount is too short! The HVAC vent wouldn't fit in because of that either.
