What did you do to your Ranger today?

[AndyMedic]

I like those Injen intakes they look beefy and mean, but it's so dusty in CO I'd wins up with moon dust in my engine for sure. I need to go snorkel and get further away from the ground for dirt road driving ?

What deflector?

It’s from Colorado Fairing Company. Helped Millard mileage a little bit. I like it

Got dirty today. No mud anywhere. 20 minutes in and I framed-out on the 1st steep hill I tried. No damage. The dirt was soft. It was like I parked on a pillow with all 4 wheels off the ground. Stay off the UTV trails.... No pics of my shame. But the rest was a blast... once I walked a mile to the office so I could get my truck tugged back 6 inches. The pics don't really show how big some of the hills are. I found out that my truck eats donuts like Homer Simpson with weed munchies. My speed is pretty limited off road,,, I definitely need those Fox 2.5s. I ended the day with a spray down and 1 hour or rubbing Rain-X into my glass. Finally opinion,,, she ran like a beast today = very happy. Can't wait to do it again...

Does no one use off road guages to show how steep a hill is?? I did that with my 5g after 1 week with it. Have a pic somewhere here in the forum.

I use the offroad gauges on my frontier to see how much the potholes are wrecking my ****.


Does that count?

I have these options on my screen. But I never thought about using it off road today.

Gave her a wash and wax today.

I have the same truck/XLT package except in Cactus Gray. : )

If you have to use a gauge to measure degree of incline, what is the percentage you go, or don't go up the hill? (or just bragging rights?)
Myself after doing this a few times, I can estimate the climb…
Do it or don't do it, the ability(safety) to back down an incline if needed, or if I can go slow or if I have to momentum it. Dry loose, or slimey play in..
Going up steps or alternating holes are my wary zones…
Posi’s or lockers sure rule the off road!
(My limitations right now as I have neither)

Off-Road in 2wd with the rear locked in is a blast. I had more fun roosting the trails yesterday that I should be allowed.

Coolant maintenance. 65k, drained and filled with 50/50 Zerex Yellow. Got just short of 2 gallons exchanged (out of 11.6)

today, I changed my step plate after the plow guy decided it was not damaged enough...soooo took me 1h30, followed ARB instructions on how to remove the step plate, did NOT remove the bumper since I didn't need to be careful with the clips. hardest part was to remove the plastic part from the bumper.. I have no clue how many clips was used but i'm glad I didn't need to be careful with it...

did the rear brakes last week (as posted) and this week had the time to get after the fronts. the dealer had been nagging me about the rears, but the fronts not so much. i took the front caliper off and saw the pads had loads of life left. 6mm on the micrometer. i decided to button things back up and hold onto the fresh new rotors and pads until more of the current brake parts had worn down some more.

pretty impressive. these are the factory pads and rotors at 80k miles on the front.

edit: i should note, all bolts, slider pins, and brake parts moved freely. no squeaks or squeals. the rust looks atrocious, but it's working well. life in the north.

well you know, from a guy who doesn't realy have manual skills beside intubating people and giving life saving meds, I think I did pretty good! didn't hurt myself, didn't throw away any tools...!! not too bad at all!

Finally decided to bite the bullet and learn some basic circuitry to install lights in the bed. Very happy with the result. However I get kinda annoyed with the AUX power shuts off after 30min, I think I heard there’s a FORSCAN setting to modify this?
