What did you do to your Ranger today?

An audio clip would be nice

I’ll work on that!

Thanks! The backseat is held in with 4 bolts (which I'm re-using to hold the platform down) and you'll have to release the middle seatbelt temporarily.

I'm confident I can have the platform out and seats back in in about 15-20 minutes without much fuss.

Is there something I'm missing about the rear middle seatbelt? I unbolted it to remove the rear carpet to install my amp/rack, it retracted, and now I can't extend it back out for it to reach the bolt. I can't even fold my seatback down to finish installing everything because the stupid seatbelt is restricting the seat from folding down. I was going to just remove it since no one will ever sit there, but it's got that sensor attached to it and I'm reading stuff about a seatbelt error being displayed.

Not really a "to my Ranger" but for my Ranger, I picked up the DeWalt DXFRS 800 2 Watt Radio kit.

 

[JACKSMYDOG]

These are as good as any of the Motorola or Midlands on the market. They are also the only 2 watt model available in Canada, which gives them a decided advantage IMO. Friends have these exact radios, and we have done a few decent tests against 7 or 8 other brands/models, these always have the best range.

I bought them because of the first hand experience and absolutely recommend these over any of the 1 watt models available.

I hear you, my turbo has an eco tune so it is about 230hp, my buddy has a Sidewinder tuned to 270hp, that thing is crazy fast and it rides great as he had the suspension set up by a pro. I really want to try the SkiDoo 900t, that seems like the best of both worlds, although I still like the 2 strokes....

Copy that, one of the guys I ride with had the 900t and is upgrading to the new 180hp 900t this year maybe he will be able to beat me across the lake this year as the previous one did not it also gets worse gas mileage than my 850.
Another guy we ride with had the big horsepower Yamaha and he also is switching to the new 900t after blowing numerous belts.

Got my FH Group seat covers from Amazon on. Didn't use the chintzy headrests though!

Old Post, but could you give an update on durability? Debating adding these.

The truck looks great.

But I am looking at how clean that garage is. Man I could clutter that place up in no time.

That's your garage?? I thought it was your office and you happened to park a car in it!! LOL Nice setup...

You can tell I don't do any actual WORK in my garage. It's strictly for parking the automobiles. Barely enough room to do that, actually.

Thanks. Your not too far off with that. But "office" is probably not the right term as I am retired. Office sounds way too much like work. My first project after I retired was to remodel the garage. I can stuff two cars in there and even the Ranger can be one of them. Plus there is room for lots of "clutter"

Just something small. Put on these valve caps.

Fair warning with these aftermarket caps. If made from aluminum they will galvanic weld themselves to the brass threaded stems. Once that happens getting them off could snap the stem off. Cost me a TPMS sensor to learn that lesson.

Thanks. I read that. These are intentionally short so they don’t go to the base and I plan on unscrewing them often so they don’t galvanize.

Some light grease can help slow it down but it will still happen.

Added the Start-X remote start. Also got 2 fobs cut and programmed and a door key cut.

Something I thought I would never say....

"I bought my truck a new laptop yesterday."

My old one is acting up and wouldn't connect to the Ranger, so I bought it a new one. Old one back where it was, and works great for it's use, now I have one just for the Ranger, LMAO.
