I finished up my Ranger facelift with the lower valance. Now it looks like it should IMO. I always felt that the silver valance just looked out of place.

Wagtails?

An european bird.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_wagtail

Territorial and this one on our plot seems to be young & stupid adult and is attacking the windows, mirrors or anything where it sees it's own reflection. Watched from the security camera and it kept attacking itself (on the car mirror) for hours and resting & pooping on the roof rack in between.

If it does it again think I'll just clarify the rules of conduct on my plot with a the pellet rifle. Both the common wood pigeon and magpie families know the rules. Although the magpies occasionally try to eat cherries from the trees even if they know they should not (and i let it slide since they've been keeping the plot clear of some other birds for past 10 years).

Finally got new rubber !...265/70/17 SL rated so they're not too heavy ( 4x2 sport suspension).
TOYO Open Country AT3. A little noisy, but low radio or AC covers it. Smooth riding, no changes in Fuel economy with easy driving. Speedo is 2 mph off (actual is greater than indicated ) at all speeds up to 60 ...3 mph of at 65 and 70... and gets worse the faster i go... will probably figure out forscan or get the hypertech to adjust so the odometer is accurate. Great breaking and grip on wet roads. No rubbing with stock suspension and OEM sport magnetic wheels. I LOVE the way they look.

They do look good.

Just a subtle change. I swapped out the Putco "Black Platinum" rear letters for some straight raised black ones. Old ones had to much bling going on for my build. First picture you can see the reflection vs. no reflection.

Then I wanted to test what happened to my MPG on highway when I started loading up the roof with some large storage trunks. Surprisingly I only lost 0.1 MPG running 80+ with those hunks of plastic up there. The non strapped cases use a bolt and plate system so I can move them around anywhere and attach them to the platform.

I had a few vodkas and decided to replace my rear shocks. Does that count?

 

[Mastodon]

I wrecked it.

 

[Opusnbill7]

Ouch....how was the other vehicle?

 

[Opusnbill7]

Oh and I had oem basic mudflaps put on. And paid for my rubber ford mats with FordPass (should arrive for pickup later this week).

Oh and peeled off the sticker the dealer slapped on to uglify the tailgate. Seems like all the glue came off at once. Their stickers are getting cheaper....but no complaint from me.

loaded my stock tune file back on ... idiots hoarding all the gasoline so just incase I cant find premium anywhere I can run 87. ?

I wrecked it.

Ouch. Hope you're ok. Looks like one of those yellow bollards reached out and grabbed you.

Ouch....how was the other vehicle?

Yeah, uh…about that... No car, just a yellow pole cemented into the ground:

Coming from the main road onto a street in a commercial center that bypasses some of the traffic I face on the commute home. It’s this weird S-turn swerve, and I just clipped the bollard. Front end missed it completely, but it knocked the mirror, scraped against the rear door, pushed into the bed, and caught on the rear wheel, dislocating the rear axle.

If I had a good pair of rock sliders, they’d have caught the brunt of the impact, and I’d have driven off with only the broken mirror.

If I had better shocks, the truck would’ve been more controlled through the maneuver, and likely avoided impact all together.

If I hadn’t been coming off yet another 12 hour shift, after yet another night of constantly tending to my toddler’s nighttime wakings and putting her back to bed, I wouldn’t have been as tired as I was and not have misjudged the entry.

…At least these are the things I’m trying to sell to my better half.

Yeah, only thing hurt is my pride.

That’s exactly what happened. Funny thing is, when someone from one of the offices came to see what happened, they said they had just finished repairing damage to the other pole from someone who hit it last week!
