What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

Went and played at Nellis Sand Dunes. Saw a stuck BMW.

Stuck BMW? Who brings a knife to a gunfight?

Steelies - nice!

I wish I ordered mine in blue sometimes. I damn near had a mental break down choosing between silver and blue.

Pepper and I watched the Daytona 500 today, and saw an awesome finish, with the win by the rookie in the @Discount Tire Mustang Nextgen car! Pepper now thinks she's a Next-gen Ranger

I didn't have a reason to get the Ranger out on my weekly day off last Friday, but I did drive it around the neighborhood this afternoon. The wife even came along.

Clean & shiny...I loved my first Ranger, an STX!

Pepper should race on over to the NASCAR thread.

Helped some family move today. First time towing with the Ranger, really impressed with how smooth it was.

abbs and I went out exploring some small towns and ghost towns. got a little dusty and dirty. ended up going by the old donnell mill. I was wanting to walk around the old town site etc. but it was covered up with no trespassing signs. Main street was interesting, had a sign still and about 30 yards of old pavement then dirt and trees again all with no go signs. least I got to see from the bridge.

Hope everyone had a safe President’s Day weekend. Just got back from spending a couple days out in Ocala National Forest.

Went down a few numbered trails that hadn’t been driven in a while and realized it when it was too late. At that point it was like ripping off a bandaid, I had to just keep going. Truck got quite a few(a lot) of scratches in the process.

Heading home today we stopped at the Daytona Beach Buc-cees to fuel up, grab some breakfast, and watch the SpaceX Falcon 9 launching from the cape. The red arrow in one of the photos is showing the ?.

Also on the drive home I noticed the truck was driving funny. And quick steering or bumps in the road made her roll like a car with horrible body roll. At the first test stop I found the passenger side stabilizer link had disconnected from the sway bar. This was the same link I replaced after damaging the original installing the leveling kit.

I didn't get any pics, but man, what a crazy couple of days!

Monday, Mayflower showed up to the house to start packing up my house. I started loading my Ranger that day. Tuesday, Mayflower returned and loaded everything into the their semi-truck, from about 0800 to 1400. I finsihed loading up the Ranger as well, and got the back seat setup for my best buddy Moe (the dog).

Let me tell you, I had that truck LOADED. The bed was completely packed solid. I also had roughly 20 gallons of beer in bottles (a mix of homebrew beer and store bought) as well as about 5 gallons of liquor (in bottles) crammed into the cab of the truck wherever it would fit. On top of this, the cab had my Dometic fridge as well as a tone of random household items just stuffed into it. As soon as the moving truck pulled out, I hit the road south. What a long day!!!! I didn't get in until around 2300 to the new house.

Funny thing, I could actually feel the weight of the truck on this drive. I was seriously loaded down. The fuel economy sucked! LOL What also sucked was the amount of bugs I splattered my way through while southbound!

But, I did right by my Ranger and yesterday, after starting on my list of chores at the new house, I took the truck out for a hand wash and interior clean. She's looking good! Damn I love my Ranger!

Oh yeah. While I was waiting for my truck to be washed, another customer did a slow walk around it and then came to me asking questions. He loved it!

Went to yearly inspection. Ranger failed.

Seems to have a U0401 code in the computer. 1 month to fix and reinspect. Also need to get a paper saying that the speed limiter works as the inspection firm didn't have tools to do that.

I started out early this morning. Stopped at the gas station, went to the hardware store, went to the Walmart.

I couldn't bring myself to park in the hardware store parking lot even though there were plenty of spaces. A disturbance in the Force®, I guess. So I parked in the Panda Express parking lot next door because it wasn't open. I still hug one side of the space, as usual.

As I'm walking out of the Walmart, I come face to face with an older, taller, and dirtier version of my Ranger. It was a 2019 or early/mid 2020 because it had the Ecoboost badge. The owner is all about the "Biggest tires, no lift?" lifestyle.

You can see mine parked way, way, back there.

I park like that all the time when there's a large empty space by the curb. But when I did that I got accused of parking crooked. Just don't let Duke @DukeCanBuildit see this or you'll never live it down! Trust me on this one, he'll save the pictures for life. ?
