What did you do to your Ranger today?

Putting the suspension under a load will make it behave differently. In many cases it will feel better.

Adding those couple hundred pounds back there definitely are making the suspension behave more betterer.

You're 100% correct! =)

A full tank of gas and about 90 pounds of crap I'll rarely use in those SwingCases helps too.

Of course, apart from this thing being a groovy water bed for those intimate moments at the dump, it certainly doesn't help with our incredible gas mileage.

The challenge will be draining it come spring - they make a "siphon" but I may try with a hand pump from our kayaks, or better yet and more shoulder-friendly, a small cordless transfer pump.

Invest in one of those transfer pumps.

I am thinking of getting one even just to have in case I need one due to something leaking inside and I need to get it to the sump pump quicker...

plus, more tools is always better. LOL

My wife doesn't understand why I needed [insert tool here] but I told her it was a necessity. I'm trying to convert her. I really want a tool cart for the garage, but she's not having it.

thats because between your current tool chest, your truck and lego building station she has to park outside . . . LOL

also, we used to use AMEX points to get home depot gift cards, that is how I got most of my "expensive" tools. now amex changed their points and we can't get those gift cards. I am very saddened by that.

We bought ~half the stuff to remodel our master bathroom in florida with those gift cards. . . They were lucrative for us, so I understand why they changed that policy. lol

Wait... whose side are you on? Also, she's come to terms with parking outside. With the baby, we had to get a second trash can (now we have 2 trash cans and a recycling bin) and a garage fridge. We can get away with leaving 2 cans outside, but not 3. Those items have made the garage too cramped to fit both cars in. I offered to park the truck outside, but she did not like that idea, as my truck is newer and nicer.

I am on the side of the kid. LOL

We have 2 cans in the garage, I did the math if we park both cars in the garage we will have 6 inches on all sides of the vehicles. no thanks, I'll park outside. If there is a hail storm or something coming maybe and I will just stay inside the truck until the storm passes. LOL

There already are multiple sects, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Snap-On, etc, each with many devout followers.

Man, the temptation ... I must resist! LOL, resistance is futile!

I'm still trying to figure what kind of "intimate moments" you have at the dump !!!!

I'm a member of the Ryobi faction, but I dabble in Bauer. I was introduced to Ryobi when my FIL bought a drill to work on my (then) girlfriend's condo. He left me the drill. Once I had seen the battery (cost to switch platforms) I was in it for life.

My wife was unable to squeeze into her car when I had both the truck and the car in the garage, and that was the end for her.

Reading about all these tight garages, I'm loving having the 3 car garage right now.
