Cathy and Stacy I can understand. Carole? That's not even close.
There is one pt that gets me confused with a co-worker named Carole(actually Karyl). I never corrected him, but Karyl did. Still, every time he comes in, he calls me Karyl. :crackup:

That's understandable. I once worked in a call center and I said "Thank you for calling ____,my name is Brandon, how can I help you?" and the customer on the other end said "Hi Jason, blah blah blah." I corrected them 3 times and then just assumed the name Jason for the call. My supervisor happened to be listening to that call and was dying laughing.

Here’s a little backstory: Years ago, I had worked with this particular nurse, Mary Lois, for several years. One day, she suddenly slammed a chart (back when there were physical charts) on the desk and exclaimed; “Tracy, I am sick and tired of you calling me Mary Lois!”. I was puzzled to say the least. ”Well..isn’t that your name?”, I asked. “It’s just Lois!!!”, she yelled. ??? Well…ok then. :blush: Forty years later, we still work together.:crackup:

We need to see more pics of this Ranger! Looks great, love the color scheme. :like:
I don't have many pictures atm. I have changed my Ranger up a lot. I'm always altering things. Here is another shot, though.

Changed the oil. Didn't smell any gas in the old oil.

Finally took the weekend off after working back to back weekends so took wife for wine testing in beautiful Napa wine country ! Tons of people/traffic but it was worth it. These were closed for 18 months so good to see the wineries back open and people enjoying fine wine (and cheese!).

I actually "undid" something on my Ranger today. I removed the black letter inserts from my tailgate because it looked too busy with the recent addition of the applique panel. Much better. LOL

Thankyou.

I run the same size on factory Magnetics and have been considering kicking them out a bit. Also, did the spacers put you into the crashbars?

I have to stand corrected; I had a *slight* rub in reverse at full lock on the front crash bar driver's side. I don't care, because they will get pulled when I install the new front bumper, but I wanted to let you know.

I adjusted the tire size with Forscan today. Went with 2558 that a friend used and was slightly off, so I went to 2540 and was *this* close. At 45 on the truck, the GPS would flutter between 44 and 45. I moved to 2545 and it was 1 mph slow. Moved it to 2543 and will need to check it but I need to make queso for the Superbowl party I am going to... I will check it on the way.

Its weird that everyone's tire sizes have to be adjusted differently. I used a number that someone else used with the same tires (both with 265/70 and 255/80) and mine needed a different number.

Update from my earlier post about these cargo straps, I got a chance to open box and was really impressed with the top notch quality overall and a great cranking mechanism too.
All my previous straps had that small handle and I always felt my fingers were going to get cinched :oops:
Made in USA and that’s hard to find on a lot of stuff, and I specifically was looking for USA so I’m satisfied.

yeah I like that better, did your tailgate applique panel come glossy like that or did they have multiple options for glossy or matte?
It came with the matte finish. I prepped it and we painted it with base and clear at the shop that I work at.
