What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

[Dr_Strangelove]

@subquark That looks like a really great unit for someone that already has purchased all of the aftermarket hoses, guns, nozzles, undercarriage attachments, home gutter attachments, window attachments, garbage can washer, dog & cat sprayer, personal shower wash nozzle, (yes I'm teasing you.)

You got that right! The gun and hose that come with it are kind of garbage (not a bad hose but only 20 foot).

And all that stuff you mentioned!=p

Ugh, this came with a "soap cannon" but it's more of a soap washer, won't make a clinging foam. They have the unit alone, without the extras for $20 less but I could only find that from the Canadian manufacturer's site and I needed this sooner than they could ship (because that 303 Graphene has to be used now so I can order more sooner - poor @AzScorpion shouldn't pay the price for my apathy). =D

Must be nice.. Not having your ranger covered in gravel dust every day at work.




I'd buy a power washer myself if the water bill wouldn't kill me.

I find my pressure washer uses less water then hand washing.

They add oil to the dust so it sticks, I would have to constantly hand wash it sadly.
It's also concrete dust so it sticks in the extreme humidity here.

I work next to a rock crushing plant that makes gravel/concrete for road-grade pavement. Tl/DR: my ranger never stays clean even though I don't drive dirt roads.

I still hand wash mine when I power wash it. I'll soap it with the foam cannon and let sit for about 5 minutes. Then I'll hand wash it with a microfiber mitt rinsing it in a bucket with a grit guard. Then just rinse with the power washer so you're really not using that much water at all. I bet I don't even use 5 gallons including the rinse bucket. Our water isn't cheap either and I've never seen an increase in it.

You guys are really not realizing how lazy I am now a days.

1 year anniversary = Barely wash it now.

New rear shocks from Rock Auto. Plain old Monroes. See if that fixes the vibration.

The spending never ends!

Not directly for the Ranger but, thanks to @AzScorpion pointing out how inadequate I am for having a dirty car, I've already have to replace my electric power washer.

And I had no idea that most are only rated to last 100 hours! The Greenworks I got is starting to act up (cuts off, then you have to wait a minute to restart). With all of the car detailing (mainly Kate on her Mazda) and lots of use as I fix and resurface my driveway, it has probably hit close to 100 hours.

You can spend over $1,000 for one that is serviceable and built to last years and years.

For me, I had two approaches, just buy a $100 Ryobi and replace it as needed (sometimes on sale at Home Depot for under $90). Or buy a bit higher-rated residential one. I went with that and only time will tell if I chose poorly! =p

This one's rated to 200 hours and maybe by the time it poops out, I'll be over trying to keep Soupie that clean ... =D

Oh, bonus for poutine lovers everywhere. This is a Canadian company (but units are China made). =)

The Active 2.0 from The Clean Garage: https://clean-garage.com/active-2-0/

The Greenworks was great until it started acting up. But it's weird in that it stays running all the time (by design), even if you're not squirting anything.

Pretty compact and is 1,000 psi and close to 2 gpm (versus close to 3,000 psi and 1.1 gpm). Supposedly a lower pressure but higher GPM means easier auto rinsing ...

Supposedly higher spec Japanese and Korean parts used in the pump.

good grief that brown gravy on fries lol

Boot kit for my driveshaft showed up from Levittown faster than expected. Thanks Benny. Now just waiting for the grease to arrive. With the warmer weather here the thump has gotten annoying.

Be careful of having it on the lowest position. Your truck nuts might start to drag.

In all seriousness, let us know how you like it. I enjoy your videos and you certainly know how to trailer stuff! =)

 

[RedDakooter05]

Ordered this at 5pm yesterday, already received it in hour ago 10am.

Container to store used oil. Not really for the ranger but my mower and ranger are the only things that use oil.


Pretty sure this is record shipping time...

 

[Big Blue]

Looks like I have a project coming up the lube for my driveshaft showed up today. Now to find my clamp ring pliers
