What did you do to your Ranger today?

[ControlNode]

Pretty slow there grandpa.

Fixed. Google "corrected" it on me I guess.

Bought it. And immediately put new wheels and tires on it.

Nice! Level8 Slingshots?

Haha, yep.

Haha, yep.

They're nice wheels for the money! I got them on mine a couple of weeks ago.

Ordered turbo Gary from SpongeBob in red for the truck. Son with down syndrome loves SpongeBob even as an adult. So adding a bit of bikini bottom to the boosted ride. I had one on my old Cobalt SS turbo as well.

Yeah, I didn't want to spend 300-400 dollars per wheel. These look fine, especially compared to what was on it before.

True! Very nice looking truck you have there by the way. Congrats!

Broke one spring . I can only guess when, I’ve noticed it today. It’s not covered by the extended warranty, I understand.

Hey @onobeka ,

It was all the mods!

Maybe it’s your truck’s way of saying it wants FOX, or Eibachs for Valentine’s Day.

Actually not today but yesterday.

Before:

And After:

Mishimoto CAI kit.

The power increase was UNREAL!

Unreal as in, not really.

Zero perceptible performance difference, though maybe it will make a difference later on.

I normally wouldn't buy one of these, but someone I knew traded their Ranger and was selling their parts so I got a very nice deal on it.

Maybe if I paint the "M" on top of it red I will get a few more HP.

Paint my engine cover too and add a red Ecoboost emblem and I'll be smoking tires through 8th gear ?

Exactly, I was waiting for a reason to upgrade. Unfortunately I can’t get those over here. Maybe Fox I can. I am contemplating between OME, Ironman and Pedders. Not sure if I want foamcells or nitro. I can get Pedders preassembled, 1.75” lift claimed.

Emptied the new catch can. Only 400 miles. Seems like a lot.
Mishimoto hoses may suck but the catch can appears to be working.

Yesterday was a big day of little things for Hermes.

1. Re-enabled the ASS, since I saw a video on fuel mileage savings with ASS and I am conducting my own testing. I can't leave things alone.
2. I installed grip tape on my sliders. My wife almost smashed her face when they were wet. This protects her from falling and me from my wife.
3. Installed my 1" wheel spacers. The tires look much better against the flares.
4. I installed the little stickers on my Auxbeam 8 Gang controller.
5. Messed around with the installation of my Trasharoo. I have ideas for keeping it from sliding around. More to come.

The pictures below coincide with the appropriate numbers.

Installed a new tonneau cover, north mountain 10000% better than gator soft roll up. Cover rails sit on top rather than holding on for dear life on the side with cheap clamps. And it’s only $200.
