What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[DukeCanBuildit]

Like so many others here, I made a landfill run. As I was backed up to the ledge of the pit, there were two big F250 Super Duty 4x4s flanking me with a space between me and one of them. Man, they made my rig look small. I was secretly hoping a Maverick would come along and back into the empty space and make me feel better. ?

Instead, I was left there shouting, “I WAS IN THE POOL. I WAS IN THE POOL!

Did the abs bleed in forscan. Brake pedal feels much better. It's firmer and requires much less travel then before. Curious how long it will last.

I've noticed my pedal is almost to the floor. Where in Forscan is the brake bleed?

Friday I spent a good three hours spiffing my Mustang up to go to a monthly car show/cruise-in event at a local sports bar Saturday. Of course, the South Florida rain made appearances and threats Saturday, so the wife and I hopped in the Ranger to go enjoy the car show, drink some beers, and have dinner. I got waved into the show lot upon arrival, drank a lot of beer, had a pretty good jalapeno burger, and won a trophy! And then the wife drove us home.

I used it to rescue my zero turn from the woods...finished mowing front yard and started on the back side where it's pretty steep...something exploded under the trans-axle and the mower lost all drive...

Be careful you don‘t get it high-centred on those septic tank covers. Maybe you should add these to the Post your off-road pics thread.

Looks like he's going up a grade while the truck is leaning to the left...that can be treacherous on a slippery surface like grass. Wonder if he had to use any of his on-board equipment (shovel, winch, ect) to assist ?
Thumbs up for a successful recovery...

I forgot to take a shot of the inclinometer...I can tell you getting in and out was tricky without falling out...I did use 4 low to drag the zero turn up and out as somehow the drive was locked...not sure how I'm going to get her on my trailer to head to the shop...I'll sort it out tomorrow...

Technically yesterday, but did a 1000km (600mi) round-trip with a 6x12 U-Haul trailer in tow. Took 13 hours including eating, loading/unloading and filling up for gas. The truck performed flawlessly. Maintained speed around 100km/h (62mph) and averaged 13.6L/100km (17.3mpg).

I towed one of those from north of Atlanta to Boca Raton (roughly 9 hrs). We averaged 75 mph and when we ended up on 95 near our exit down here in FL, we were dicing it up in traffic with that 6x12 out back around 85 mph. Yes, it was pretty stupid but the truck handled it very impressively and the BLIS adjusted for the trailer length was an asset for the lane changes in that environment.

So let me get this straight…you abandoned the show because, yeah, that’s a lot of hard work for rain to ruin it, so you decided just to leave the “show car” at home, be an attendee and not a participant, showed up, they took one look at your rig, figured, yep, he’s here to show his truck, marshalled you to an exhibit area, you did nothing, checked out some cars, pigged out, had a few wobbly pops, and took Best in Show?

Is that what happened?

I think that sums it up! ?
