What did you do to your Ranger today?

[JACKSMYDOG]

Hope this helps anyone looking to swap out their emblems. It did take a week to get these once I placed the order.

Thanks Nick, you are the MAN!!!

Installed some 3" nerf bars and a swing case. (With some stickers for flair).

I learned to drive with a three on the tree!

Did it have power steering? Many cars back in the day didn't. It took some real effort to turn that wheel and deal with the clutch and that coulomb shifter at the same time.

Learned to drive in my dad's 60 Chevy Biscayne. 3 speed on the column, standard non power brakes, but it did have pwr steering. 3 on the column, clutching no different than a stick on the floor, and a manual steering wasn't to bad when moving, but a pain at a stop or very slow speed.
Back then in them olden days, base cars either came with a 3 on the column or a 2 speed auto and no power steering. If you wanted pwr steering you would go aftermarket and add this....

That is so cool! Where did you find that? Would love to get one of some family members.

I got the hood, front fenders and front bumper covered in ppf (clear bra). Front door windows tinted and OEM molded front and rear mud flaps installed.

Let's see it!

Here you go….. obviously the clear bra would be hard to photograph. Lol

The first photo is really making me think about some kind of leveling kit. The dealers accessories department said a front “puck” would be the cheaper way to go but the ride suffers. The Fox 2.0 seems like the proper way to go. When I get closer to pulling the trigger I’ll hit up that thread and not hijack this one.

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

I will admit I am a scientific retard. That admission stated, if I went out weekly and unscrewed the caps and switched them, would any damage still be done? Or, do I have to neglect them to create the issue?

Finally got me a flag on my truck ??

Today was finally the day. New shoes are on and looking sharp. Now on to the next mod!

Made the appointment to replace the stock 4.2" Sync radio with a new Alpine digital receiver and speakers.

Painted the tailpipe to try and match the Matte Black GoRhino Exhaust tip which has a slight sheen. Preparation: Washed the tailpipe with soap & water, brushed with steel wool, rinsed with clear water then used isopropyl alcohol as the final cleaner. Masked before painting.

Sprayed on 3 coats of Rust-Oleum High Heat Flat Black but it dried into a drab gray (see photo) instead of black which was a terrible looking match with the Matte Black Exhaust tip. Decided to spray over that with 3 coats of Rust-Oleum High Heat Ultra Black semi-gloss. This is a very rich looking color with more sheen than the Exhaust tip but they are a decent match. Anyway, the semi-glass paint should dull after time and hopefully look closer to the Exhaust tip hue.

Not sure how long it takes. It’s conditional on environmental conditions. I still have my cap with the stem and valve snapped off in it. I have seen some aluminum caps with a plastic treaded insert pressed into them. Cheaply made so they probably won’t last long ether. It’s just not something I will be doing again ?‍?
