What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Figarou]

I was inspired by Chris (@Brisko_Michigan), I installed a fire extinguisher on my Swing Case. I picked up a few small pieces of flat bar (they are actually some flat Simpson StrongTie things) and a rubber door sweep from Home Depot, and used that to manufacture a mount plate sandwich thing like Chris did. Super happy with the results.

Here it s with the case swung out a bit:

Case latched in place:

Closeup of the mount. Metal plate, then rubber against the Swing Case. This is the inner mount.

Close up of the mount from the outside:

Thanks again to Chris for the idea. This is a perfect spot for it!

Since I drive a fuel tanker, I'm required to have a UL 10 B C fire extinguisher. In my 30 years of driving fuel tankers, I never had to use it.

But it'll be worth using if I can save someone's life.

In the video, multiple people came up with fire extinguishers.

Installed a:
Curt hitch
7 way plug
Redarc trailer brake controller under the steering wheel. Until I get the light force fascia.
Now all I need is something to pull!

Changed my in cabin air filter. Yikes. Also chased around the crackhead who washed my truck the other day because he did an unnormally bad job.

Might have traded it for a 2020 F-150. The dealer drives the new truck out Wed for me to inspect, test drive, and approve or deny. I need a larger truck...

What colour is that for the grille letters? I was almost going chrome (also have hot pepper Lariat) but that looks great to me.

sorry for the delay getting back to you as it took me a while to find out. https://tvdvinyldecals.com/collecti...nyl-insert-decals-for-2019-ford-ranger-grille
Silver grey metallic is what’s on my grill.

My AFE blade runner pipes finally showed,so put them on.
Pretty much like everyone else says,hot side is a breeze,and cold side takes a little effort.

Upgrading Sync3Navigation with USB. What a hassle! Have to leave my engine running for an hour parking in my driveway. Yuck!

Good luck! Reading what others have gone through with this update I'll just use my iPhone maps if the truck gps can't find it.

I always use my iPhone Carplay until I was in the mountain where there is no coverage. It works fine until Sync kicked off my iPhone and refuse to let my Carplay come on. I ended up using a lousy outdated interactive navigator to get through. So I learned my lesson, I will always keep it upgraded and feed my destinations. Whenever it happens, I am ready with a horrible plan B.

Took her fishing. Saw a rainbow. Discovered the bed side walls are not suitable to mount a hi-lift jack to. The bed walls have split.
I thought the washers were big enough. Guess not.

Stopped by my favorite body shop and had them remove the 4x4 decals and Ecoboost emblem. I like it better this way.

Damn. This is good to know, thanks for the heads up.

Spent some time laying in 3M clear film in the door sills.

Many thanks to Kimball (@quangdog ) and his DIY video. It saved me a lot of hassle and made installation as easy as possible (far easier than the prescribed 3M method).

I also discovered a previously unknown skill: I'm particularly good at introducing air bubbles where none need exist. If anyone needs air bubbles to unnecessarily lengthen the time you spend in the garage, give me a shout. I've got tips.

Next - I'm likely to put a set of Bushwacker sill guards on top in time; Michigan loves it's salt and rocks. Two is one, one is none?...
