What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[subquark]

I was a little bummed that the rear seats in my SCrew didn't fold. They take up too much window space to suit me. If it turns out I can replace them, I may well work on doing that.

Ugh, not close at all in size! The rear SCAB ones are very narrow compared to the front seat (I suppose if the SCREW back seats are narrow up there, then maybe?).

And the front has two notches and the rear only one.

Keep looking Jay - your 10mm has got to be in there somewhere!

No sir! I have G22 & G35 (40 cal) and G21 (45 ACP) but no 10mm (and 2 G17 4th, G17 5th, G19, G26, G34, & G48). 10mm ammo is a killer to find up here and it's mucho expensive. (I LOVE GLOCK!!!!)

Sadly our POS leader just drop a bill to freeze all handgun sales in Canada in reaction to the Uvalde trajedy. If/when it passes, I won't be able to buy anymore handguns, nor sell what I have. I also have some 2 STI 1911s 9mm & 45ACP, Norinco 1911 45 ACP, Ruger GP100 stainless 357, GPP100 stainless 22LR, Buckmark 22LR, & a GSG 1911-22.

Two years ago, he made all AR15 variants, and almost every other semi-auto box magazine prohibited as well. I can't sell, transfer or even shoot my DDM4V7, PWS PCC, or Thureon Defense GA now.

Almost $30K dropped to $0 over night (everything is more expensive in Canada) not including my 4 Surefire lights, Aimpoints T1, T2, PRO, Pec 14, & and I may have a few rounds of ammo somewhere too.

The handguns they say we will still be able to use at the range, but the "military style weapons" I can't take out of the house, can't shoot them at home, can't sell them in Canada, can't will them to my beneficiary after I die.

Langley,check the clutch for adjustment. Most electric clutches have an adjustable air gap that may take care of yoyur problem.

Beat me to it Bret, had the same issue on my JD 420...clutch gets hot, gap needs adjustment...

We have a really cool blade thread in the forum:

That's awesome, I had no idea. Thanks!

Since taking down the trees along my driveway, birds shit all over my truck constantly. Turkey Vultures perch on the roof rack, tonneau cover, and even the hood. Eventually the barn is getting replaced and a full size bay for parking is on the new plan, but not this year, so I gots me a Shelter Logic - Garage in a box, Truck/SUV 13 x 12 x 20

Put most of the frame up, and had enough. It's pretty crappy build and quality control. Lots of hammering, and pulling things into alignment to get them together. Some of the welding alignment is BRUTAL. Some are 15-20 degrees or more out of straight. Once assembled it's good enough for it's purpose, but very sloppy. I almost cut a few and re-welded them.

Ranger fits very well inside. Both doors were fully open, and appear to clear the walls. Lots of height clearance, even with the RTT when it goes on. Not quite long enough to open the tailgate.

The tarp won't be going on until a mild wind day, forecast says maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm also going to add some racks, or shelving near the back. I don't explain exactly how I'm planning it, because it may not work out, but if it does, I'm going to be VERY proud, lol.

And once again, not really with my Ranger, or to my Ranger, I almost started a "What did you do for your Ranger today" thread.

Are my posts getting too long and descriptive? Do I need to shorten them up?

Couple gratuitous shots of the infamous Crappy trailer too

You lost me at G22 - but then again, I have two tactical rifle cases - one contains detailing products and microfibre cloths - the other is loaded with recovery gear and tools.

Fook, I missed who I was replying too. I thought you were that other guy, who I believe is a gun-nut too. lol.

I shoot in Burlington. I'd be happy to take you for a test run on any of my toys, but the range is no guests right now, because Covid is more dangerous if you are not a member, lol.

Two of the coolest Rangers in Canada parked side-by-each, would cause allot of envy by passers by

Thanks for the info. I tried to fit a .015 feeler gauge in today an it seemed too tight for it. I haven't removed the pto to get a better look an to attempt the adjustment. I have parts on order for my 316 that I also pulled home behind the ranger. Once it's back together I'll pull the 165 apart.

This is a 2-fer post! I'm posting here and in "parked next to".

Went to the dump and an XL Maverick with 4K tow was right next to me, that's what I originally wanted to get. Certainly would not have needed to install steps on it!

 

[subquark]

Went to the dump a second time! Man, life is good! =D

It's the first time I have hauled brush with the BedRug and I loved it (no more tarp burrito).

When I got home, I closed the bed, stepped up on the hitch and bumper with the blower. Since I have the incredible-can't-live-without-tailgate damper, I reached down and opened the gate and blew out the yew needles. Easy clean up and a very rational use of the damper! =D

Yes, I have two Chipolo smart tags on my keys. One on the Ranger key which also has the hitch pin key and the tomato soup can for the truck's name - Soupie! =p

AAAAAND...a Toyota key, do Taco's and Tomato Soupie go toghther?

Hi Folks,

Today the Ranger left the RV park on a mission to resolve a vision problem with a visit to the Safeway Supermarket too as an emergency run as Margie is out of Ice Cream Bars... I needed a 3x magnifing glass to fix my darn left hearing aid as something is wrong and I cannot see these tiny little devices clearly... So mission accomplished including a Taco in the left lane that is likely still at the light as I soundly dusted him off at half throttle on Historic Route 66...

Best,
Phil

Great catch TVRanger! While Tacos and Rangers may not live in the greatest harmony, this is my wife's Corolla key, so no tempting the fates with odd driveway sharing trucks. =D

I hauled two bed loads of stuff from my in-laws today - one load to the dump where everyone else in DFW seemed to be today (the line was about 30 cars long) and one to a local community outreach to donate the good stuff.

It hit 103F today (and it’s only JUNE!!!), and I discovered that the black Ford hard tonneau cover gets to about 2000F in the sun, or so it felt when I had to flip it back to load the bed. Gotta use my welding gloves next time.

 

[TVRangerSTX]

Theme of the day seems to be hauling crap! Went to take yard waste up into the woods, and noticed something...This week I'd refinished our basketball post & backboard, my 13 y.o. grandson plays constantly when he visits. The paint I used was labeled red oxide, looked orange to me. It was a leftover can from my Bethlehem Steel days. I noticed the label also said the color code was B.S.305, at the time I thought it may have been the infamous Golden Gate Bridge color (Beth Steel producef & fabricated the bridge steel). Anyway when I backed out of the driveway, it appeared to me that that color (almost) matched my Hot Pepper Red?. Hmmm...
