What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[OHTREMOR]

Pulled it to the bottom of the drive so I could do a full detail on Mommas Baby Bronco.

Took the new ARB bull bar on its maiden voyage

Where did you get that tent? Kind of looks like a swag.

It is a swag! https://tjaoutfitters.com - Run by Ranger5G's very own @RoadBoss - I can vouch for the swag and Travis.

This should give you some points to get another mod for your truck...

Making @subquark proud by doing some dump runs

2500lbs of old deck wood and 12000lbs of concrete. Helped a buddy bring his old deck and concrete patio to the dump. The guy at the scale was wondering what the heck we were doing lol.

I was slightly overloaded on payload the first run we did with around 2000lbs of payload, that is including the trailer tongue and us in the truck. The Ranger handled it like a champ but man is concrete heavy... I adjusted the quantity of concrete in the bed in the subsequent runs.

Holy cow! You take the leader board for dump runs, I bow to your impressive load!

That's a lot of work and my back aches looking at your pics!

Looks like your truck handled it well (and I love that color, so does Kate who isn't personally fond of my race red). I also like your headache rack, fits really nicely and looks sharp.

You're a good friend and your buddy has greatly benefited from your choice of an awesome truck. =)

That's probably why he's doing it in the first place. He's probably in the dog house from buying a bunch of Mods.?

David has to make trips every day to clear out his driveway dumpster...

It's all about recycling the boxes from Ranger-related goodies! I bet @AzScorpion owns stock in cardboard boxes ...

LOL, we continued cleaning out the garage and have a few things in the bed - nothing photo worthy (especially after @TheDo114 - the measure of a manly dump run has forever been changed and I am not worthy). Just old window screens (that have been there since we bought the house 14 years ago for windows that don't exist), a few old doors, and I found the bones from a rabbit's rear leg and was wondering what the heck brought that in - kind of made me glad I'm not parking in there - some super rat that might love living under an engine cover!).

At first glance, I thought you had snapped a picture of Soupie in my driveway! I love that this dumpster is Soupie red! =D

i did a load of concrete once with my F150. it was resting on the stops and was obviously overloaded. But i wasn't doing two or three trips. I wanted it done.
Thankfully my dump was only a few km's away. risk vs reward comes to mind.

Dang! Lots of aspirin and beer, comes to my mind!

Your neighbors must have snuck some mattresses into your dumpster at night...

Didn't get a picture, but we hauled the popup for the first time. Estimating with occupants, cargo, and tongue weight it was a 900 lb payload; Camper is only 1400lbs. Total round trip mileage was 300 with 220 of that towing. Hand calculated just over 20mpg. From my usual empty mileage that is only a 10% loss. Pretty happy with that.

Always looking for stuff to haul - like a good neighbor, Soupie is there! =p

Not a bad mpg reduction! I bet that towed like it wasn't even there (not much windage issue).

I have to sneak the Ranger in and out of the garage at night...otherwise the neighbors will be knocking on my door about hauling jobs. You could move here and do non-stop hauling 8-10 hours a day for free...

Funny (or not) how pickup owners are expected to be ready to help friends move anytime! I mean, I know that Ranger owners are awesome and very intelligent people, but still ...

After reading the "Make money" or "Invest and Get Rich" thread, @AzScorpion said it takes more than business cards to get rich.

I think we may need to argue that point!

(We may have to come up with another rhyme for the "2 Bucks" part.)
