What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Colo_Ranger]

Today's project was air hoses for the on board air. I printed some brackets to hold the hose, now there is a hose permanently mounted on each side. When it's time to air up after the trail, I can open the doors, drop the hoses, and connect one to each front tire or each rear tire and air up. I don't have to dig around for the hose anymore.

I am still working on how to store the hoses on the molle panes of the SmartCap but I think I have something figured out. Parts arrive tomorrow.

I stopped by the gas station and put $40.00 worth of 87 in it.

How much does a gallon of 87 cost in your area? Here in SouthernJersey (near Atlantic City ) we are at 4.25 a gallon as of yesterday (July 26th).

Sold it to Carvana.

Never had an issue with it, but you all had me worried that the transmission was going to grenade at any moment. Seriously, I retired last year and only used it a few times to tow our travel trailer, which was also recently sold. In the 5 plus years of ownership, I only put a little under 16k miles on it. 95% of those miles were driving down south looking for places to retire. We finally settled in FL and quickly found out that a golf cart > 2nd vehicle, especially when you only have a 2 car garage. I will miss the versatility it offered, but it wasn't used enough to justify keeping it.

I pulled a few things out of it before the sale, so I'll be listing them for sale when I get a chance.

It's $3.67 a gallon here in North Texas.

I put the truck in harms way by coming to a complete stop at a stop sign., Lady rear ended me and fled the scene. My son got a really good picture of her tag and police already found her.


Edit, I see no damage to the truck and all of my passengers are fine. I got an appointment at Ford in the morning to check the hitch receiver mount, make sure none of the bolts for for it were damaged and WeighSafe already said that hitch needs to be replaced. I had just unhooked my car trailer after the race last weekend before leaving the house and was planning on getting a u-haul as a temp storage at the house while getting some work down over the next week. Didn't get the u-haul after the impact.

I edited the additional details in when I realized I forgot to include that, we are fine.

She seriously thought her 3800 Buick engine was let her out run my tuned Ranger?!? No. LOL I got close enough for my son to get a good picture and then backed off as she was being very wreckless in her fleeing attempt. Once I had the picture of the plate/car and driver description I had all I needed for the police report.

Also, a little more details, the police didn't find her, they found the car and confirmed the damage that would be consistent with having run into my hitch. But, no one would answer the door to them where they found the car parked. I got the Driver Exchange form from the police this afternoon. It added the vehicle owner information as well as the VIN and home address. With that I googled the most common to least common insurers in the state the car is tagged. Started "cold calling" them with the limited info and had to ask if they hold the policy for that car. Ding! USAA, and I got the policy number, filed a claim against the car's owner's policy.

This morning Ford inspected the hitch receiver, confirmed that they also didn't see any damage to it and blessed off the truck to tow with that receiver as normal. So the total is only about $450 (hitch and inspection) their insurance has to pay.

Well, my gas tank used to hold $60 worth of gas. Now it holds $80, how 'bout that!

I'm still hoping that something can be done about them fleeing the scene.

Good on you for doing the due diligence to find them, but still hoping for some justice too.

Same, but as long as their insurance pays for the little in damages there are I'll at least not feel like the system is screwing me over the way it normally feels.

I wonder who is the veteran to have that insurance policy?
