What did you do to your Ranger today?

You're joking right? ?

Anything is possible - I mean, The Eagles said they would never get back together but it happened.

Hmm, I may need another rifle case for more micro fibre cloths.

Took a bit of care and loaded up the Plano Tactical Rifle Cases on my Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform today. They have a great weather seal and pick n pull foam interiors, but most important of all, two of the four clasps are lockable! Gotta keep it safe, right?

I know a lot of forum members are “gun guys” so I know you’re anxious to see what I have stowed away in there.

Sorry folks, no guns here.

Okay now that I'm sober I see you advise you're looking to look at doing bolts but those are pretty tiny and probably annoying to source you have to go with some really really small millimeter ones like from Amazon so here's my suggestion so you can use the screws that come with it go buy a home improvement store and go to the section that sells shims you can get two kinds there's wood which you don't want to use here or they make polymer shims you'll probably use the end that gradually reduces in size to its thinnest point just use a shim between the case wall and the gas shock arm just big enough so it will penetrate the wall but not go all the way through.

You could also secure the shim even further with something like JB weld for plastics sorry about the large paragraph I'm using text to talk

Used it to re arrange the trailers so I could start working on the work trailer to turn it back into a utility trailer and sell it.

Then I hooked up my trash trailer (1963 Chevy Bed converted to a trailer) and went four wheeling in the dump. I say dump, but it is a "land fill". They Are near the top of the "mountain" they are building ... LOL ... so it was fun playing on some sort dirt roads, smell aside.

Thanks Jack - I appreciate the thoughtful advice. That plastic shim idea is my Plan B if I can’t find the proper hardware - JB Weld and black soffit screws from the outside to secure them - I have some black ABS flat stock I can use as the build-up.

Today, I installed my Husky floor mats. That was easy.

Then, I decided to install my MBPR cat-back. Not so easy. They make it look easy on the videos. But, they usually have a lift and are standing up. I was on a creeper, with the rear of the truck on ramps. Still not too comfortable. There was one clamp, at the downpipe... I don't know how ford got that thing on there. Where they put the nut, there was no room for a tool to tighten it. Well, I'm sure in the assembly process, there probably wasn't much around it when they put it on. But, I had to use a breaker bar, when I finally got a wrench on it... in the 1" of space I had to loosen it. Took forever. Then, one of MBPR's clamps suddenly loosened, while tightening it. The nut had become cross threaded or something and the whole bolt was turning. It was a bitch to get it back off and rethread it. After that, it went okay. But, shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Fun!

Headache Rack finally showed up yesterday. I ordered this back in June or July via amazon. It never showed via their third party shipper CEVA. After some time, I contracted amazon and they re-ordered the item, and sent me a $75 credit for my troubles. Second order took forever, same shit. I contacted amazon, they refunded the full purchase price, this was about 2 weeks ago. It randomly showed up yesterday. Free truck parts are the best truck parts. ?

Did some painting and Plastidipping.
I have the lower valence off because I'm going to install the Putco lower grill insert. Perfect time to make it black with Plastidip.
Removed the tow hooks, scuffed them with course steel wool.
Painted with Cobalt Blue Rustoleum spray paint.
Hanging outside to dry. You might be able to tell they're hanging on an aluminum spiral staircase that goes to the second level deck on my house. Everyone who sees it says its the first one they've seen.

Installed mirror module and window module from REDtek. I like the functionality.

Here are some pics with the door skin removed and looking under the dash - for all you weirdos out there.

Filled the bird hole in my lower grille with a Mountains2Metal insert. Took me all of two minutes. This is a well-thought out design. Makes use of all 5 existing clips. It is pre-curved to match the contour of the bumper. Super simple.

I was looking at those grille inserts. I watched the video on their website and he references some trim tool he used to remove the clips. I have arthritis pretty bad in my hands so it's kinda hard for me to grab some small items and just wondering if I'm going to need a special tool to remove those clips. How did you remove them?
