What did you do to your Ranger today?

[RedDakooter05]

Damn. I’d be happy to help, but you have to drive to Denver…

Yeah thats like a full day of driving, I'm sure the ranger will explode if I tried that.

I get it. Maybe someone close will help you out.

Bought and drove home a Jayco Jay Feather Micro 199MBS. Ranger did well with the weight distribution hitch.

A frustrating 3 hour project and definitely the most amateur electrical job on this forum. I’ve got a ton of respect for all you guys with the know how.

I did a brake bleed. I used a 3/16" ID rubber hose. I was able to pull 20-30 small bubbles from the passenger rear line and one bubble about 4" long and a lot of little bubbles from the passenger front. No wonder the pedal was soft. This was the first bleed on the truck. If you have a soft pedal, I highly recommend bleeding the brakes. Pedal has a much, much firmer feel now.

When you did the bleed is it necessary to remove the wheels or can the bleeders be accessed from under & behind each wheel?
I've never done this type of procedure before and also contemplating taking it to the dealer or local repair shop, btw the Forscan bleed didn't help any.
Thanks.

I had points just waisting away so I broke down and ordered a damper, or is that a dumper!!!!
Never thought I would order one after all the jokes thats been written about them, but I've joined the damper brigade.

I'm a little late with this but welcome to the club! ?

Haven't done any modding for a long time but I finished up my amp/sub install since the box from Australia came. Not overly impressed with the box but it gets the job done. My sub magnet hits on the the slopped side of the box and it doesn't seem like the seats sits completely flat now. Need to add some spacers under the stops or something.

EDIT:I ran the wire under the carpet and I need to clean my floor mats

What amp did you go with and what route did you take to the battery for the positive feed?

Took the ranger in to the dealer to get the trans fluid checked. They said it was at proper level and the assistant manager said he couldn’t tell any weird shift notes during his test drive. He did say he felt it was sluggish and underpowered and almost blamed it on the OEM Tremor tires. They reset the trans computer to see if it helped any. Time will tell.

I did it without removing the wheels. You just need to get comfortable under the truck. If you’re under warranty, ask the dealer to do it as part of the warranty.

You must travel alone a lot.

All my materials arrived for my complete rewire.

Thinking about the above as my layout for the top.

This relay will be 1 of 5 that is bolted on the downward part. All wires will then be routed cleanly up to the fuse block and distribution block/

The big relay underneath will be for powering the whole system. It will be switched with the ignition.

Starting to feel a little like @OFC Ranger.

Question for the gurus: is there any reason not to mount the master relay underneath? This will go in that area in front of the battery. The bracket mounts to the radiator support. That area stays dry, so I don't think water will be a problem but if it does get wet, it should drip off and dry without issue. Looking for opinions.
