What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Bsenecal]

Brian,

The plugs had 31K on them and looked fine. They did have a little material transfer from the electrode to the strap, but nothing alarming. These were the OEM factory plugs. Main reason I changed them is that I am running a tune and wanted to go a step lower in the heat ranger. Replaced with NGK Iridium plugs.

Copy that, I thought from the picture they looked pretty good.
What tune are you running? Any other performance mods?

4 new tires. Was planning on end of Oct before going to GA, but Wednesday the front tire kicked up a razer in the road and the rear tire caught it. So, tires this weekend. Switched from the Dynapro AT-M to Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires with Extra Load rating.

Good call, on going ahead and getting new tires after that happened.

Brian,

I'm running a 5 Star tune. Mods include AFE Charge Tubes and Intake. Rousch Cold Air Intake box, CVF Intercooler, Turbo Smart Dual Port BOV, MBRP Cat back Exhaust System, and a Pedal Commander. She will light the 33" tires up at highway speeds if you get deep enough into the throttle.

Well, not much of a option at that point.

My shoulder is finally healed enough to allow me to get some things done. Today's task was changing out the OEM spark plugs.

I’m diggin’ that old school trouble light. I wonder why.

Today, I had to replace the engine start battery. Two problems...at 76 years old, I can barely lift new the battery out of the pickup box! Second, It started to rain and hailing pea size hail... Major yuck!

Took me about 20 minutes, but majorly soaked clothes. Then problem number 3 ...the instrument cluster and center display were reset. I had to meet people at the Beaver Street Brewer and we drove without heat in cold temps...Margie was not happy and the clock said 1600hrs. Arrrrrg!

Hi Phil, I was watching the "Bama/Georgia game on the Phoenix ABC feed and saw the thunderstorm warnings flashing across the screen. They showed Tito walking back to the motorhome from the brewery and he didn't look to happy!

Mine is a period piece complete with Bakelite handle and reel. It's been around about as long as I have.

Hey Phil, glad to see you around.

I saw this meme this morning and thought of Tito:

Sitting at Quick Lane getting the oil changed and fluids checked, about 600 miles ish over due lol! Because ROADKILL
I decided not to have the tires rotated and went ahead and ordered a set of Goodyear Wrangler ATs.

I have not cleaned the actual wheel yet, but the test trim ring in black looks good. I am going to buy a can of orange spray paint to paint the bolts... then I will reassemble.

Wheels are going to wait a bit until I upgrade to 35s. Should be this month, sometime.

Sounds like a plan, can't wait to see them on the truck!

You and me both, brother. I've been contemplating painting the barrels orange too. We will have to see how I end up going with that. I also have a set of Apex Design quick deflate valve stems on the way. This is going to be a bit of a process but... I am good with it.
