What did you do to your Ranger today?

[RedDakooter05]

Yes!!!
Just started to un-hole under the hood. Just need to get some 5/8" for the rest.
Also got the much sought after bumpers to properly support the hood when closed.
Already having a damper, now Truck is properly dampened, bumpered, and un-holed !!!
As an added bonus, these being rubber means extra detailing with 303 to preserve them.

Interesting, our holes are different. Which is not something I thought I'd ever say...

Wonder if they re-did the underside when they switched to the prop rod. I'll take a similar angle pic later to compare.

Yep, it does put a smile on my face and help relive stress - maybe this can be a medical write off!

My health insurance has a wellness plan. I wonder if I can get the detailing supplies covered.

Her: He's probably thinking about other women.

What he's really thinking about:

It's all downhill after the damper and I'm fully brainwashed by @AzScorpion because I did this today:

Yes, but likely only covered 50%.

Yes, but likely only covered 50%.

After you've reached max out of pocket!

Damn, now I have to go look at my hood holes. Prior to taking my obligatory “does my driveshaft vibrate today?” cruise.

Don't feel bad.
I gotta go look at my holes too now (indeed, something I never thought I would catch myself saying).

 

[RedDakooter05]

Guess my.... holes... are the same. Though they seem bigger than 5/8. Ah well. Next step are side weather seals.

"Unholed!" I love it and now will order the 5/8" plugs.

My hood bumpers are now shipped (took them a week to go from order to ship).

Way too much hole plugging going on today.

I gotta ask…why are these holes being plugged? Are they there for a reason or simply for handling and assembly of these parts? (robots, assembly jigs, that kind of thing)

What if they are there to allow for water or condensation to exit?

Dagnabbit!
Here you are making sense right when I was about to get plugged!
Sheesh!

I reckon I'll wait for a sensible answer now, although I don't really know why since little else I've done has been backed by good sense.

The rocker panel holes were plugged on the 2019s but I don't know about the hood holes. Some are likely for drainage. But I suppose I don't want those hood holes to whistle and disturb the mouse family while driving.

Edit: Answer for @DukeCanBuildit : FOMO =p

It's funny how such little things like these can give us joy. ?

You don't know how many times I've heard that from my previous female companions.... well, maybe you do.

You sound like my exwife.
