What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Bsenecal]

Red's first oil change...
I'm so proud of him. He sat up on those jack stands like a big truck. ?

it can be a little tight, but both times I have changed my oil i took the recommendation from someone on the forum and just turn the wheel to full right and pop off three of the retainers on the rubber mud guard and you can reach the filter for removal.

Did you use the Graphene Nano Spray or the Graphene Detailer? Neither are a cleaner so the surface has to be cleaned before applying them. Also I've mentioned this many times LESS is better when applying the Graphene Nano spray. The first time I did mine I applied way to much to my hood and roof and it took a lot of effort to buff it out. After that I used only 4-5 sprays on the applicator and applied it until it started to drag then added a few more sprays and it was way easier to buff out. Like anything there's a trial and error period but I can now do my whole truck in under an hour and about 20 minutes with the detailer. In the end it looks really good!

I used the Nano Spray. I also bought the detailer for quick touch ups later. I did pretty much the same thing, 4-5 sprays on the applicator. I think the hot sun made things a little harder to buff off but it really wasn't that hard. I'm just not as young as I used to be! It does look REALLY good! ?

The sun might have dried it to quick and made it harder to buff out. They say you can use it in direct sun I never have. Unfortunately I'm not getting any younger either.

Installed Rokblokz XL's on my Tremor with 1" wheel spacers. They fit and look great. Took about an hour to install. Once you get the hang of installing the 1st one, the rest go on really easy.

This is what I did today to my Ranger:

Tailgate Applique

And it is difficult to tell, but Stone and Bug deflector from Weathertech:

Neither was too difficult.

I installed my old CB from my trucking days today. I haven't decided if this is going to be a permanent deal yet, so for now I've just gorilla taped the wires to the dash.

i say keep it! i know 11 meter is low tech and sometimes covered up with bubblegummers and chuckle heads but it is a valuable tool. i got mine in the 5g ranger and i get a good amount of use from it.

A simple 2 minute mod. I had 2 missing standard black valve stem caps. So now I have Ford valve stem caps.

Nice setup. That's my long term goal for my Tremor.

Installed my Ford molded mudflaps.
Got exactly the look I was hoping for.
Simple pleasures ?

Not today. But last week.
Installed a TruXedo, TruXport bed cover.
This is a roll up style. Very easy install. Maybe a half hour. Fit is outstanding. Stays in place at elevated highway speeds.
First cover I have used on any of the sixteen trucks I've owned over the past years.

I want to know what you did to get the cover to come down evenly over the corners. Mine looks like shit, because it’s pretensioned and not adjustable. I’ll have to add a picture in a minute to show you what I mean.

Tried and failed in a second attempt to put a leveling kit on the front.
It ain't as easy as the YouTube videos make it look. I didn't expect it to be, but still....
Just gonna pay the alignment shop to do it.
I'm not mad, just frustrated.

It doesn't look as bad from the back, and maybe yours does the same on the sides... I just don't think it should look like this for the price.

I'm doing the same. After the downpipe... if it involves more than a couple of bolts and especially if something big has to be removed to get to those bolts... I'm tired of spending all day on a two hour job.

Besides... if I install the kit and even though I know I need an alignment, I'll keep putting it off. This way, it all gets done at the same time.

This is two Sunday afternoons in a row I've wasted and accomplished nothing.
And last week I had help from a bud who knows more than I do but we were missing a tool we needed. This week I got said tool but he was not available to help. I figured I learned enough last week to do it myself, but no. I'm getting real good at putting everything back together and torqued to proper specs though.
