What did you do to your Ranger today?

[WolfgangVTS]

@WolfgangVTS I was pretty bummed about missing the ones you had but ultimately I saved 750ish miles round trip from home to you. Sometimes it's OK to be lucky.

Bfastr had them for sale. I was the one that bought them. My intention was to add a little light hearted humor by saying that I gave them a good home. I guess I could have worded that better. ?

But I am glad that you found a set. No offense was intended.

@WolfgangVTS Oops, I thought you were the seller. My mistake. I guess my reply was also worded poorly if you thought I was upset or offended. Absolutely not in any way. Any pics of your truck with the new wheels?

Nothing exciting today... other than checking to be sure that my new cargo tie downs are still on track for Wednesday delivery.

I think I'm going to order another set for the upper spot at the front of the bed. But probably going to have to wait a bit. At this point the Warden will quickly recognize the vender and dollar amounts. "You just ordered a set! Why did you need a second set?!"

May have to start ordering stuff with squirreled away cash. And have it delivered to my neighbors house.

Oh the things Ranger fever makes you do....

Yep. Right above my first reply to you.

I just wanted to make sure that I didn’t offend you. Your post didn’t necessarily seem like you were, but I wanted to be proactive with an apology/explanation.

You have a great looking truck btw. I especially love the color. ?

Some camping trips. Buddy Heater pretty much makes 30 degree nights a non-factor. Low setting (20lb tank will last 220 hours) more than enough to keep the interior toasty.

Dude! You're back! Thought you got the dreaded "Banned" a while back. Must have been more like a time out.

Welcome back.

I can see your neighbor's front yard in a few weeks...

Guilty.

Stupid truck is going to get me in trouble.

Thanks.

That whole ordeal was nothing more than an exercise in figuring out someone's true character. Now I know and now I move on having that knowledge. I have no further comment on the matter.

First verify the spacing for the upper front holes. Seems I tried to move my tie downs up and the spacing was different.

Yep. I measured the spacing initially and while it seems correct, it just didn't seem to be exact. Hence my order of "one" set.

Gonna test fit one of my new ones up top before installing them in the mid-bed position. If it fits, then at a later "under the radar" time I'll order the second set.

Let's assume those top holes are a different spacing.... anyone have any idea what they are for?

Hey Jack - is that setup simply integrated into your awning? It looks roomy enough, that’s for sure. Only slightly smaller than your old Garazeebo.

I imagine you can access your storage bins on that side of the truck from that back wall too? I like it. ?

I hate “rouge” nails. Feminine looking, but still very dangerous. ?

Beautiful... but deadly

Yes it is the ARB tent meant to go with the ARB awning and yes it has four sided access so you can still get to car doors or storage pods etc etc

It is 8.2ft x 8.2ft

I checked out that Buddy heater - not approved in MA or Canada - I imagine that’s a CO thing they haven’t gotten over - any idea how it works to avoid that or are you simply happy that it does?

The efficiency seems incredible. ?

I also made a privacy shower / bathroom out of a D-shaped shower curtain with quick disconnects. I then herculined it.

$20 invested.
