What did you do to your Ranger today?

[RedlyrsRevenge]

TurboSmart BOV showed up and got installed. I only dropped the socket once and it went all of the way down to skid plate. Had to fish that out.

Sounds awesome. I'm a child... Turbo noises go PPSSSSSHHHHHH!

I've never lowered my spare tire and was curious how the process worked. I also thought it was time to see what the pressure was in the spare. I was surprised to see that it was only at 20 psi. So, regular checking of spare air is now on the schedule.

I'm guessing that Ford wants that valve stem stowed upwards to keep it safe from road debris impact. But, that means having to lower the tire to check the air. So, I bought a 12" braided extension and routed it through a lug hole. So, I can now check the air pressure easily and that valve stem remains tucked up in a safe, impact-free area. Temporary zip ties keep the extension from flopping around. Nifty.

Great, simple and very well thought mod. I am thinking to reverse my spare, use that wheel for some storage but now I have to protect the stem, never thought of that reason the rim is facing upside, other than Ford reducing cost on a few chain links.

I finally purchased a new Sasquatch decal since the last one had a leg ripped off while someone (I’m guessing) tried to steal it. I purchased a backup just in case. ? Also added a Navy Retired decal.

I need that decal for my Squatch Bronco whenever it finally gets delivered .


I finally installed my Raptor grill that's been sitting in the floor for 2 months while the Ranger was waiting to be fixed .

Like others have done on here, I flipped mine over when I upgraded wheels and tires. We get a lot of gunk on our roads especially in winter and I really didn't like how the stock orientation is perfectly suited for holding a lot of it in the wheel. I figure the risk of valve stem damage is almost nil, and would rather have that as the con.

Etsy has plenty of those decals.

Benny, The grille looks great! ?

As far as the Sasquatch sticker I'd hold off. By the time your Bronco comes in they'll have caught one (or many) and it won't be such a big deal anymore. ?

Got my Lightbar on, used a Lic plate bracket, I was surprised at how strong it was. still have fog and ditch lights to install. Using a wireless remote switch with 4 circuits so have to use them all!

Hey Jesse,

Is that some kind of towing Dead Man switch at the corner of the license plate? Also, what’s that low “guard“ for? Leaves? Critters? Mother’-in-law?

Oh yeah, love that epoxy floor. ?

I installed the Auxbeam 8 Gang. This isn't the finished product. I put the cover back on before I took another photo. I also broke the cable that goes to the controller trying to get it through the firewall. Ordered a new one so I can try again...

 

[Colo_Ranger]

This is how it looks under the cover. I will have to take the cover to wire up new accessories, as I add them, but I think it's worth it.

Hope you spit some fluid film in those exposed connector terminals up top.

I didn't. Thanks for the reminder.

Yep, dead man switch, called a break-away switch in RV speak, applies the trucks brakes if the tow bar separates. That 'low guard' is to keep the doggies from running out into the street when I am working in the garage. I did the epoxy floor covering with a home depot kit, has lasted great for several years, nothing will stain it and oil wipes right up.

Always fun to have the pups around.

Good to know about the diy epoxy floor - next house - this one is way beyond hope - house was built in 1879, garage was built in the sixties over top of what was once stables and carriage storage floors - cracked all over and way too thin.

WOW! that place has been around awhile. My good friend lives in a home built in the late 1800's, but he is a custom wood worker, so has updated and restored the entire place, looks awesome.

She got a bath. Now I’m debating on bugging out some scratches and waxing or continue building some cool stuff for the truck.
