What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[Dinglehead]

Spent the day out in the middle of nowhere taking pictures. It was nice.

More on the tire carrier on the blue truck please!?!?!?1?

That is the @589FAB Ranger and I believe the show was the first public showing of said tire carrier. Looks extremely sturdy, but you will need into both sides of the bed as well as the tailgate for mounting. Not for the faint of heart.

Look what I spotted on two car haulers on the I-44 East towards St. Louis. Second truck looked to even have an Everest in the middle.

Took my Ranger for a bath today.

Drove up to Boothbay Harbor today with the GF today

Yes, Maddy Red needs a bath. No tourists. It was awesome.

Damper mod. I know there is a lot of anti-damper sentiment, but my 4 year old son loves to appear out of nowhere and put his head right where the tailgate would slam down on his head.

Could you even get a parking spot during tourist season ?

I doubt it. I avoid the Rt 1 corridor during the Summer. Its the first time I've been to Boothbay

I think they shut down every Columbus day which I caught one year . Talk about jam packed but the hotel people kept telling us to stay a few more days .

Welcome to the club! I see you even added the velcro guide strap.

Ha! I cut a huge hole in the fender of my truck for the ARB snorkel. That mount will be a cake walk compared to that nerve-racking experience! LOL

With all the Raptor looks going on...maybe I should build a Wildtrak instead...?

After today's visit to the alignment shop, took a 150 mile road trip. (other threads have the info on eibach level strut cartridge's & rears....).

I have to say that the difference after adding just the rears was fantastic. The difference after adding the front and leveling by .75 is just as fantastic. My "feel" is that 80=90% of all the boat riding scenarios is gone! Super nose dive on firm-hard braking, gone!

Don't get me wrong, there is still some nose dive, but not that feeling of flipping the truck over trying to stop on hard brake.

The left/right, front/back rollie pollies are gone.

As I mentioned yesterday, you can "feel the road, but it is subtle. The road roughness "feels" shared by all 4 corners of the suspension. My "sense" of the center of gravity is of having shifted from front row cab (think that was due to FX4 struts and Eibach rears??) to front panel of bed.

An additional bonus to killing the Enhanced Engine Sound and auto road noise volume increase for radio is that you hear what's really going on around and near outside the truck.

It's still a truck, but rides well behaved to me and it did happen to accidently hit triple digits a few times for a brief spurt of Livernois!...handles well.
