What did you do to your Ranger today?

[TxOTRRanger]

Loaned it to my sister and got it back like this:

Taillight will have to be replaced and a superficial look (it's dark and cold right now!) shows some damage to the bumper, so that might need some work, too.

That sucks!
Hope that you can get it repaired and it not cost you a huge chunk of change. If you get my drift.

WOW! Not good. I have a nice pair in my garage I am trying to sell but I would say the cheaper option (and a nice upgrade) is something like this I put on mine. https://anzousa.com/collections/ran...smoke-lens-w-sequential-signal-for-all-models

Those do look great, but sadly they do not ship internationally and it'll be several months before I'm back in NC.

My garage (and barn) were always open to all my friends to take/borrow whatever they needed. We all had the understanding that if you broke it you own it and we were all good with that. I had motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawn equipment and tools in there that anyone could use.

My buddy dropped a very expensive Arai motorcycle helmet right in front of me once. He thought he had the strap in his hand better than he did and it fell and put a nice gouge/chip in the top. He just looked at me and said "how much" and that was it. Items are just material things that can be replace but your friends and family are forever! Life it way to short to worry about inanimate objects

She's already agreed to cover the costs, either out of pocket or through her insurance, so it shouldn't cost me a dime.

Ironically, a drift likely had something to do with this happening. Also, the last thing @LaBalbe needs is more drifts.

He spent a good part of yesterday afternoon on those shown above.

Amazon should. 2 thoughts. Check local laws for smoked lenses, they have other options. My Anzo's seem to be excellent quality, some of the other brands on Amazon may not be. https://www.amazon.com/Anzo-Black-Smoke-Tail-Lights/dp/B0CH449S8Q/ref=sr_1_1?af=eyJ2ZWhpY2xlTmFtZSI6IjIwMjIgRm9yZCBSYW5nZXIiLCJ2ZWhpY2xlIjoiMjAyMi01NC02OTYtNjU2LTIxNC01My02LTgtMjA4MjItLTgtMS01NTY0LTI5Ny0yIn0=&crid=3LY58SA5GKB40&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-y3iQd_TovCte9MJrKjoExtagS4ZN1VMMIeBfaUusIOk3xTnjZzRWHvaduyZ6gGmf91tE0e9eLG_3diLgQSDrNVio1d7t5ghaSsDWijJxW1oR74RQ6HTAHbAXrGeEa4ZpE4m9j7p7koQD1hHSxjqVZFoQPZLCIOcQAEnD3VJXYbnDuEDxDr7AEsxc_I-BN1nsr_80iWnr3e_ohDiHOTVWpZK_tcysTL5raRZrWck5Cs.xMjFmE7yf8gCylmdhQwlV6Osbg6O6z2OeXt-FRAzmx4&dib_tag=se&keywords=anzo+RANGER+19-23+FULL+LED+TAIL+LIGHTS+BLACK+SMOKE+LENS&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1768871421&refinements=p_n_g-101015170709111:120787822011&rnid=120787814011&s=automotive&sprefix=anzo+ford+ranger+19-23+full+led+tail+lights+black+smoke+lens,aps,659&sr=1-1&vehicle=2022-54-696-656-214-53-6-8-20822--8-1-5564-297-2&vehicleName=2022+Ford+Ranger

Not my Ranger... but I helped a co-worker out by installing her T-style radio in her 2017 Dodge Ram 1500. It was easy compared to my Linkswell. It also sucks compared to my Linkswell. Never buy off-brands from Amazon. But it "works" and it looks good.

The result of spending ½ my Sunday installing a radio for a coworker...

...a Monday morning fat Synvisc1 injection to the bone-on-bone joint. Every step feels like a cinder block grinding on another cinder block. Fortunately,,, I have a warming pad

I should be good for another 6 months / 12,000 miles...

1st supporting mod to help with the new camper. Added a Wolfbox G900 TriPro. Wondering if I should finally write up a build thread…

Glad you will be good for 6 months and that is the best warming pad.

Synvisc usually lasts about 3 months for me. This year before ski season the stupid insurance said Euflexxa shots and they didn't do a thing.

Excellent work. Especially the stealth wiring above the mirror. So much better that the route I chose. Even more so now that I'm going to remove my Wolfbox in February and re-install the factory OEM mirror. I loved my factory auto-dimming RVM too much to see it sitting on a shelf. But I still want my Wolfbox readily accessible as a dash cam and an off-road recording device. I just don't want it as my full time RVM. So,,, I'm collaborating with Bulletpoint and Wolfbox on 2 new mounts using the Bulletpoint RubiGrid as the mounting surface. I'm hoping that location works the way I want.

Definitely do an Install Thread. Join the party. You did OEM level work. I really like your front cam location too. I'm thinking about mounting a 3rd exterior camera under the truck aiming at the insides of the front tires. My 1st "extra" cam was defective. Wolfbox had a replacement camera in my mailbox in 3 days. But the defective one still works. It just occasionally has wavy horizontal lines that appear intermittently. So why not mount it under the truck ? And if/when I destroy it on a rock,,, who cares ? All I would need to do to switch "extra" cams is unplug the front license plate cam (at the mirror) and plug in the undercarriage cam...

Had a couple of Synvisc shots in my shoulder years ago - quite deep as I understood it - had to be ultrasound guided - WAY too slow - forgot how bad it was by the time the second one was due but was quickly reminded - there has never been a third.

I didn’t see the diploma until the second visit.

You folks are twisted.

I'm going to print that out and have it framed so I can hang it up in my office...

The PA suggested using a 20g needle. The doc said, "Gimme the 14g. The 20g takes too long." That MF'r hurt... a lot.

"...having saccersfally completed..."

Looking forward to that one becoming the "new word of the year" in the OED.

That’s why it’s called “Artificial” Intelligence. There are more mistakes than that.
