What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Glocker]

Hurricane preparedness, so I filled her up with gas, all they had was Diesel and 93 octane at $4.40 a gallon so the Silver Cloud is very happy!

Had to fill up down here in Boca, and I had this preconceived notion it was time to run a tank of 93 through her. $5.50 a gallon!!!!!!! WTF!?!?!?!? We only got some rain from the hurricane but we sure as hell got the hurricane fuel pricing. BS!

Sprayed the exhause pipe with high heat paint and a exhaust tip.

Used black Plasti Dip on the Lariat Gills and the rear Oval surround.

(Fake raptor grille on order to replace the chrome grille)

Ok, after getting the Bedrug in yesterday I used a fairly cool morning to build my sleeping platform in the bed. I used one 11/32 sheet of sanded plywood and 2 cheap 2x2x8s. $34. I already had a nice sleeping pad thaI used on my last road/camping trip. I modified it to fit into the corners and was able to use original cover.

My carpentry work was summed up in the movie Unforgiven with the following quote…….he ain’t scared, but he ain’t no carpenter.! ???

Will try using leftover plywood to build a folding shelf for front passenger side of the bed.

Can I access the oval via the access panel on the tailgate or did ford make it some dumb process?

I dislike how much the emblem protrudes out... Was thinking of some modifcations.

There's a slot at the bottom of the oval, I used a trim removal tool to pull the oval out (it's just clipped in)

The surround is secured by 2 7mm bolts. Then just unplug the camera and you're clear.

There's an additional bar that is holding the camera to the surround, but that's just a Phillips head.

Super simple.

Claybar wash and polish with some tire shine.

I really like the headlight assembly who produced them?, did you do likewise with the fogs?

[RedDakooter05]

Not today but did schedule some fun stuff in a couple weeks.

Brake bleed
Transmission fluid check/fill
Oh and driveshaft inspection(Slip joint clunk mainly). Woohoo.


Let's see if I can get this truck to drive like a properly made vehicle should before winter.



Got some bed liner left over, May do a small project or two.

I purchased them used from a member here. Fog lights I left alone, these new lights you can barley tell the difference when the fog lights are on.

Here’s a link to the lights. If you can find a used pair I recommend that. They also make a slightly cheaper version that has 2 light projectors instead of 3. Mine have some minor blemishes that you can tell if your less then a foot away so it’s no bother to me.
