What do you NEED TO DO to your Ranger?

[Glocker]

I was thinking of the "What did you do to your truck today" thread and it got me off on what I need to do and I keep slacking on.

Here is GLOCKer's list of Ranger stuff he needs to do but keeps putting off:

• Clean up and paint roof trim where the black has flaked off the aluminum.
• Replace my EGR sensor with the new one that's been sitting in my garage for months.
• Repaint my ARB front bumper.
• Wash and WAX my truck to protect it from the harsh Florida elements.
• Clean up some under-hood wiring for the auxiliary lighting and winch.
• Replace rubber door window trim.

Here’s Duke’s list of Ranger stuff he needs to do but keeps putting off:

• Replace hood insulation pad that rodent tore up
• Refurbish the front tow shackles - some rust is showing
• Refurbish black exhaust tip - PSA: don’t buy one
• Install new brake pads that are sitting on top of my tool chest
• Install gas struts in the lids of my roof-mounted rifle cases - tried, they deflected the sides of the cases too much, making them difficult to close.

Bahhh, that's an easy one. More dampers and Graphene!

I have few things that have been delayed due to a simple "new work bench" in the garage that has seriously snowballed lol.

• Put PPF on new door sill plates then install on truck. Buuuuut, if I opt for the Bushwacker sill/rocker guards...do I really need to install these?
• Install the Baja light bar. (Might wait till I get new crash bars lol)
  
• Finish mocking up the bracket for the Auxbeam fuse/relay blocks
• Start mocking up the Auxbeam switch panel holder.

Too much speed.

I was doing some street hits, and the open rear diff did not like it started doing one tire fire burn outs

Ruh Roh, that's not good. Hope that you can get it back to doing two wheel peels.

Still debating on whether I'm keeping it or trading it.

If I keep it, all these things are sitting in the corner of the garage:

Install Expedition One roof rack and lightbar
Install 589 hidden winch mount and 12k winch
Install Icon Delta Joint upper control arms
Install Mishimoto transmission pan
Install bed lighting

If I trade it:

Remove upgraded/Install factory wheels
Remove upgraded/Install factory headlights
Remove upgraded/Install factory rear bumper
Remove upgraded/Install factory suspension
Remove upgraded/Install factory speakers
Remove upgraded/Install factory BOV
Remove engine cover
Remove Mishimoto intake
Remove Fitzstick
Post lots of stuff in the For Sale section

 

[underwhelmed]

I need to trade it in on something that doesn’t give me anxiety every time there is a weird shift…. Only 5k left on the extended warranty.

That trans needs to hurry up and implode damn it.

Make another run to Lone Star Conversions.
Order
Ford PERFORMANCE Ranger grill
4 off road lights-2 in the bumper and 2 ditch lights installed by Lone Star Conversions, because I am not good at electrical stuff
Later after that is done, go back up there and order a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks and have them installed.
And call it good.
Maybe........
