What did you do to your Ranger today?

[9zero1790]

I installed my Eibach 2r rear shocks. It’s a night and day difference and I no longer feel like this going down the road

you know that guy in the back was likely crippled the rest of his life after that lol.

Shelly earned her keep today.

damn! i thought i liked cookies. if this gets out on the net people will think its some sort of shortage and start hoarding gs cookies like toilet paper, masks, ammo. My doctor told me to drop some flab recently but i have to admit a truck and trailer load of girl scout cookies sounds awesome... let us know if you need help taste testing.

That fact you made it home without being hijacked is an impressive feat in itself!

id park that rig out front of one of those weight loss surgery centers down town and just wait for the sales to come bustin in...

My truck needed a very thorough detailing and cleaning since I had not done it for a while. Also while cleaning found a little gift in my tire.

wish mine was that clean! how lucky it was in between tread and not in the tire! go buy a lotto ticket its your day

I had a fellow co-worker on duty some years back that would take a BANG energy drink (300mg caffeine) and shotgun it like a beer. Whole thing down in a few seconds.

He was already and athletic guy (hiked the entire Appalachian trail). Woe to the bad guy that tried to run from him those nights. He would chase them down like puma.

We also discovered that our electronic weapon racks in our vehicles will in fact hold an energy drink. lol

for a short time i was the parts runner for a napa supply house. other guy that made runs with me drank monsters all day every day... i kept expecting him to have a heart attack or something any day. i hear that a lot of the energy drinks are not legal across the pond.

Did the alignment on my truck today. After installing the 2 inch bds leveling kit camber and toe were way out of spec, but all good now.

Also ordered a few off road recovery items from Rhino USA. The receiver shackle came in first, tomorrow the recovery strap and my seat covers will be here.

i have the same in my hitch also. at first i was not a rhino usa fan. i didnt like how they are usa in the bizz name and marketing but everything is made in china. said that in my reviews after the products showed up with made in prc stickers. the owner contacted me and seems to be a nice guy. plus anything ive had an issue with they replaced 100% free of charge with no hassle. so now rhino usa and have made peace lol.

today was a sad day for Abby and I . I took out all my stuff and recovery gear so i can leave it at a dealer service center ? for them to check out the transmission and driveshaft... ? i hate having to go to dealers for anything. but its under full warranty still and something is not right. I bought the center support bearing to fix it myself and go out of pocket as i dont trust dealer service. but now the shifting is worse so its not just the bearing. no choice. hopefully this dealer will show me that not all are bad. When i called the dealer closest to me they were all friendly and nice to have me making an appointment until they asked what service i needed. as soon as i said transmission problems and driveshaft the ladies tone changed. she said i should go to another dealer as they were backed up for repairs esp on transmissions and that the truck would sit on the lot until second week of april before they would even look at it. geez. i really could use a decent dealer service experience for once. i know they hate warranty work but its not my fault

When I was working at that dealership down here in South Florida, it was much of the same! We were the only dealership in the area that could do transmission work, and then to make things even better, the SINGLE transmission guy we had broke his ankle. SHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

@RedDakooter05 based on my quick run to the post office it’s quite a bit less body roll. Handling is improved as well.

Hmm I've been eyeing these bars as I'm tired of feeling like a swaying high-rise tower as I make simple turns.

But damn that $800 price tag is a bit steep for what it is.

Very true on both statements, hate you are so far away from NC. I would be glad to let you drive mine. I have a topper on it and that seems to have made it worse.

Hit 60,000 mi, officially out of warranty. Fingers crossed.

Hope it's been trouble free for you. I'm only half way there at 30,659.

? Dont let Sid @Msfitoy see this. He'll tell you that you only have 35,000 miles left until your transmission blows. ?

Good luck! Mine is at just less than 36K. Probably time out before mileage out.

The most distance that I have.
