What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[Fawnbuster]

Hauled a half a yard of pulverized topsoil, unloaded and spread it, one more load to get tomorrow then seeding, fertilizer and straw. I must say that with the Bilstein shocks and bigger tires the truck didn't squat or wobble near as much as when i hauled a half a yard of pea gravel a few years ago.

I bought the HAUL-MASTER tailgate bed cargo unloader. Since i have a retractable bed cover I had to trim the mat so I could mount it between the rails, worked great. I marked the length I needed then put it in my wood working bench vise, flattened it then used a sharp box knife to trim it down, used a lighter to seal the ends.

Edit: make that 3 loads of topsoil...I'm still sore ?‍?

I got my '21 SCAB rustproofed by my local NH Oil vendor. He used their Wax N Oil (Boss Wax) on the undercarriage because it was still quite clean -- the product is supposedly for new vehicles only. I had treated the chassis with Fluid Film just after I got the truck, but that was mostly gone by this summer.

We'll see how it holds up. A nice thing about this shop is that they do annual touchups for $20.

Had to go do some last minute work at the hunting club today. Now I got a "Big Ol Mess" to clean up. LOL

I gave it a full tank of gas and a cabin air filter. Would have washed it but its only going to get dirty and dusty hunting this weekend

Went out and bought 24 real steel chrome acorn nuts to replace those works of Satan foil covered pretend wheel nuts, that Ford dare to put on a vehicle labeled as "off road" capable.

When I got new tyres just before the Big Red Bash trip in July, the tyre shop warned me that several of them were borderline, and as we're going on a 1,000 km road trip tomorrow, the last thing I want is a roadside flat and being unable to change a tyre because the stupid foil cover chose that moment to let go.

My 20 volt battery rattle gun will see a little action this afternoon! Can't be bothered running out a lead for compressor in the shed to use the pneumatic one for just one small job.

Edit: Job accomplished, had to hammer an impact socket on to several nuts to get them off which considerably extended the job length because I then had to clamp the nut in a vice and wriggle the socket to get them out. But glad to be rid of them!

Went out to do some dirt road driving yesterday.

Then got gas and tried out the nifty 2.5 gallon fuel can that @Grumpaw suggested. It fits perfectly in front of the wheel well and easily straps in with a Velcro strap through the tie down.

Can you post a link? That looks perfect. Thanks

And I also got their PRI-G as a super duper gas stabilizer that was new to me.
