What did you do to your Ranger today?

[MikeyB]

Had a 8:20 am appt. this morning at the dealer where I bought my truck to have the Trans fluid level checked. According to the Mechanic who worked on it, fluid level is good and he said he re-flashed the Transmission electronics, so the transmission has to re-learn itself or something to that effect. He told me he took it for a test drive and didn't like how it shifted so he re-calibrated something. I'm out of the loop with all the electronics stuff.
Anyway he told me drive it and any problems, bring it back. I drove home a short distance and it seems fine. I'll make it my business to take a long trip soon and see how she goes.
I was very concerned with the fluid level, and I didn't want to attempt to check it myself- that damn Hot Cat is in the way for me.
The mechanic seemed a real sharp guy and a straight shooter- he told me he was familiar with the Ranger Trans issues so we'll see..
While waiting there I took a couple pics of a Real nice White Ranger dubbed the Black Widow. Nice Truck

Installed both Black Horse brush guard and front receiver hitch (from @Heavy Duty). Now it's time for a leveling kit.

That Black Widow truck looks awesome until I got to the front suspension picture. WTF is that? A 5" leveling block? The knuckles look different as well. Wonder what they did with the rear for height..

Curiosity got the best of me... What a cheap lift system for this 60k+ XLT.... ?

The dealership I worked at sells Black Widow vehicles and I wasn't impressed. Especially with the tire rubbing issues!

The Black Widow package is basically marketed to the bro-truck community. I'm surprised it doesn't come with a 8" diameter exhaust tip.

I thought the same thing...man, that set-up doesn't look to kosher!

Started work on a franken-project that has been on back burner for awhile. It is a small first step on something more complicated coming down the pipe. Ha I made a pun.

Copied another member who installed a USB port in the center console. Ran a hot wire to the new fuse box so my wife can leave her phone charging out of sight, since it always seems to be dead.

Pun intended or not intended?

I still need to Lamin-x the lights amber, but Innie or outty?

Edit: I also plan to mold in a piece of ABS flat stock in the middle to completely make "raptor" disappear. Best I can do without having someone fiberglass over the entire thing. At least from a distance it looks like it probably says "Ranger" behind it all.

I am prototyping a piping system that will collect that forced induction and redirect it to the same opening on the grille shroud that the factory mouth intake uses.... short term...

Long term is a completely linked system to the intake with proper water shedding properties.

The piping with be completely hidden behind the grill bar, plenty of clearance back there. Will link both intakes into a single larger diameter pipe.

I call this guy "Commie" my co-pilot droid. He can't repair battle damage, but he helps me talk to other pilots.
