What did you do to your Ranger today?

[OFC Ranger]

I've had like 2 days off work in past 2 weeks so progress has been slow.

Swapped out from some 50mm fans to 75mm to properly cover the 2" openings. Added some small LED lights. I also had to come up with a novel way to manage wires along the frame when space was at a premium. Remembered I had a box full of various size spacers and that did the trick. This way I can run tracks of wire under key components for a cleaner install.

Garage has been 100 degrees even with ventilation turned on. So I dragged my project indoors.

My understanding is that 5100 are the same if you don’t change the ring. 5100 just has option to raise it.

these would do it for you

Not sure if my autistic levels of OCD would allow me to have differing shocks/struts even if they are the same spec wise.

But I will contact bilstein and get some info later.

I got the Ranger dusted and spray detailed today. Adjusted the tire pressures and detailed the engine compt. I found that a rat had munched on the battery insulation blanket about 2 months ago. I have been using peppermint oil and dryer sheets since then and no trace of the pesky varmint since. I hope that is the last of him.

My 'ordered under the influence' muffler delete showed up today... so put that on.

I am assuming that your Ranger is a lot louder now? I put the Borla dual exhaust on mine and it's quite nice and not too loud.

Installed front smoked Morimoto XB LED side marker lights.

Purchased from @Stage3Motorsports on Friday afternoon, recieved them Monday afternoon.. Thank you, Frank!!

This is one of my favorite mods. Love mine. Be sure to use dielectric grease in the connectors!

That little Morimoto card that comes in the box is instructions about that.

Changed the oil. Mobil 1, Motorcraft filter.
First time I've used Mobil 1 in it. Supply chain being what it is these days I just get whatever 5w-30 synthetic I can find.

It's hard to make a turbo 4 popper sound good ?

Upgraded to some Cooper AT3 in 265/70/17 with some 1" FactionFab spacers from Stage 3 Motorsports and a 2" lift.

Tonight was FORScan night.

- Bambi mode
- respective fog lights on when turning (the only one my wife didn’t roll her eyes at)
- ambient entry lighting orange instead of ice blue
- turned off driver and passenger seatbelt annoyer
- turned off the panic button (I hope)
- daytime running lights include park lamps on
- climate menu
- Ford Performance splash screen
- DTE calculation in productivity screen
- Traffic sign recognition (and display, see tire pressure display picture)
- TPMS placard (why not?)
- fuel consumed per hour display
- last and maybe least, active noise control. I want it but everything appeared to be disabled, along with the fake engine noise which I was going to disable anyway.

Things appear to have changed from the wiki, like the seatbelt chime settings and lots of new settings like the ambient entry light color.

Last, I didn’t disable the big one, AS/S, only because I was hesitant to disable battery monitoring and any unforeseen consequences.

For fun:

For reference:

sharp truck. My grandpa lived at Ozark when I was a kid. Loved going down there and driving around Fort Rucker. Thanks for your service and stay safe.

Eh.. It's all subjective.

V8 fanboys like to say 4cyls sound like crap.

Wankel die-hards may think that nothing sounds as good as a rotary.

Supercar people spit on anything that doesn't sound like a flat plane v10.

Electric car fanatics probably believe any ICE motor sounds like a couple of cavemen slapping cocks together.

Run it.

100 internet points for knowing Wankel. I prefer 'spinning triangles of death' but not many people know Wankel.
