What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Crow_of_judgement]

At least he’s good to you.

Yes and no. $280 for something that just makes the turbo fart is a questionable purchase but there are far worse ways to waste the coin

At least the right purchase was made.


Drunk me would've tried to get this to work with the turbo. ?

Straight out of the spray bottle. I didn't buy the concentrate.

I thought about using that to not damage anything. Simple green + low pressure water.

Now I have to with that shiny cover.. looks dumb as hell now.

Ehh with a tune the stock bov might give out later. So.... proactive fix?

The problem with using any kind of cleaner is that it needs a good rinse. Otherwise you'll have residue. You'll also have pockets of water in parts of the engine. I use a blower to remove the water before it dries. No spots.

Here is my engine bay. ?

Gave her a coat of 303 Graphene Detailer. Still looking pretty sharp for almost 39K on her.

So a fabbed up a ram air intake to help air into the air box. I saw a couple videos on YouTube where guys installed the Big Mouth Ram Air and say they are getting up to 2 miles per gallon better on the highway and more power. I'm not concerned with additional power as I already have a Livernois tune, but the mileage intriges me. I fabbed and cut it out of one of those rectangle plastic garbage cans with the curved corners and have it duct tape in for now to see how it works. I should have took some better pictures but if I see an improvement I'll remove the front engine cover and take additional pictures. Why pay $130 when you can easily fab something to direct the air.

I'd hug mine but I'm afraid to dent it.

Decided to check out my tailgate extender for fitment. I must say, it sure seems stout. Fit is a bit loose but when loaded and things are strapped down, that won’t be as bad. Adjustability is good and I can still get the rear canopy window open when it’s set up in “vertical” mode. The unit requires two hitch pins - one for the receiver and one for the support crossbar but it only comes with one pin. I have a locking pin and a regular pin that came with my receiver shackle but others would be wise to make sure to have a spare pin. There is reflective tape on the crossbar, which is helpful.

Unboxed…the battery is just for scale - beefy tubing.

Necessary Modification…we don’t need no badges.

Horizontal….hey @LaBalbe - zoom in on the edge of the bedliner and you’ll see something sitting there just for you. ?

Vertical…

I will likely use it when I rebuild the deck on the boat shed at the cottage. The Ranger gets to do more truck stuff - nice! For now, it was just a dry fit to see if I’d be keeping it, which I will be doing. ?
