What did you do to your Ranger today?

[woodworker]

Yeah i feel you. I use mine as work truck too. It still hurts when dents or pin striping happen at the deer lease. I do not throw things in my bed, i place them in my bed. But every friday afternoon i wash vacuum, sweep, and dust off the dash.

There’s a place called Mega Auto Spa in Williamsburg that I frequent. For $50, they make it look like new inside and out while I set there and watch. I only do that like every three months or so. They have a new special for $20 a month, I can get as many washes as I want, just pull up to the scanner and it reads the little tag on my windshield and the arm goes up. I buy a special coating from a place in Chesterfield for the inside that makes most everything else look bad.

I brought it in to the dealer for an oil service and a early trans fluid change (44k miles). Ive only got 2 more payments left on the truck so I walked the lot a bit out of curiosity. The sticker on a new Ranger Rapter was 76k! Im very pleased with my Ranger and no payments is looking really good. I might start shopping for an extended warrantee though.

Left it set in the carport. Didn’t feel like hunting venison today.

I Took my Ranger’s face off.
Replaced the factory headlights and grill. Way more work than I thought it would be!

Which lights did you put in? I have the OLMs and love them. The cut off and light is incredible. The OEMs aren't even close, I don't care what bulbs you put in them.

It’s still sitting in the carport reasonably salt free and somewhat clean. 26 degrees and wind is whipping so it will probably stay there today.

I’m at 150,000 very happy with it only one minor issue miles on my 2021 Ranger.
Had rear drive shaft replaced at 148,000 due to noisy center bearing. Just had all fluids changed yesterday and state inspection. Very happy with this truck. And it’s been paid off for a long time. The new prices just scare me.
i just hit a large buck two days ago so hard it broke both antlers off his head. Fortunately, my grill guard (deer guard) prevened catastrophic damage. One little teaspoon size dent in the hood, no broken parts….

My Ranger complete with deer antler dented hood and I are headed to the dealership for a complete all fluid change at 149,800 miles. Well, after a short stop for a platecake and bacon washed down with coffee of course.

Looks good Joel. Reminds me of one of my favourite breakfast spots when I lived in Vancouver. I’m sure some of the members from BC will have eaten at De Dutch Pannekoek House on occasion.

I always went for a savoury option with ham, bacon, hash browns, and eggs. Roll it up like a crepe, smother it with pancake syrup, and dig in.

Ha - and some of you folks thought Poutine was strange.

Same lights, I have been fighting with the light adjustment, and the sequential signals do some weird stuff when unlocking the truck but other than that I couldn’t be happier. I had LEDs in the low beams for a while that were definitely better, but the cutoff and light output are absolutely killer. Managed to get them open box for $415 on eBay.
and since I had it torn apart I ordered the Ford performance grill and transferred the surround over from my factory grill.

Wow glad to hear you and truck are ok from the impact. I grew up in Illinois and every thangsgiving seemed to be all the relatives stories of the deer they hit driving over for thanksgiving dinner.

it might not look the best but it saved this truck twice and my Grand Cherokee twice from catastrophic damage. Had I been in my little CRV economy buggy, it would have totaled it and might have come through the windshield at me.

I stopped by the car wash on the way home from work and gave it a much needed ftb, and got pretty much all of the winter weather road grime off of it.

Made it look better anyway.

Looks much better than yesterday's picture Clay. lol Now all you need is some Graphene on there and it'll really shine.

Sorry Dave, I don't think that stuff would last 2 seconds out here, with all of the 18 wheelers, farm equipment, and feed trucks that are on the roads.
Ftr, that is probably the most expensive ftb that the truck has had since I joined here.
$1.75×4=$7.00
