What did you do to your Ranger today?

[HTX1811]

Finished up the full size spare tire today by mounting it under the truck. You can see from the pics how much taller the new spare tire is compared to the stock 16" rim spare. I would guess you could get a 34" tire under there considering the Nitto Ridge Grappler 255/80R17 is just a hair over 33" in diameter. I am pretty sure a 35" would not fit.
While under the truck, I sprayed some Kroil on the chain and lift mechanism to lube things up a bit.

Here is the speed of the fall. It prevents the rapid fall. I assume that the damper makes it too heavy for some to close the tailgate, which explains the true vehement dislike due to lack of strength. ?

THANKS

I like the speed of your damper. What model?

Can you post link to amazon product please?

This is the Canadian Amazon link, which you would be looking for: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08772ZWC3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Never have understood the need for a damper for a tailgate. Seems like a truly unnecessary gimmick for me. I mean, unless you have a medical need that would warrant it...it's not even like the tailgate is heavy.

This will come in handy for sand, dirt, snow. ?
Bond shovel, compact, durable and lightweight.

Also, installed AFE air scoop.
( I think it compliments the Roush CAI)

John, which traction boards do you have? I'd like to pick up a set eventually and have no idea which are good?

Thanks! Looks like they have a couple others for about $60.00. Trying to get Santa to bring me a set. ? ?

I’ve used similar ones to help neighbors just after snow storm.
They work. ( just go slow and dont let them gun the throttle, lol)

Installed a vent fan on the ARE topper. Haven’t wired it up yet — the next project is a dual-battery setup so I’ll do it then!

I'll carry them for now in my Ranger but they're really for the Bronco. I'm sure I'll be going places that I shouldn't with that. lol

I know you, Dave. You can't keep that up for very long.
