Lane 19 (My old 2005 MINI shown above; the satellite camera hasn't caught Ranger #6 yet)

It's the camera lens.

Congrats! Nice looking truck.

When I was a kid, I saw a drive shaft front-connection failure on a small stake-side dump truck. The entire rear end of the truck jumped up into the air. It was hilarious at the time, but I imagine not very funny to the driver.

To extend the parking mode.

A "smart ticked-off Bubba" scenario should be one of your design cases. Moving it back closer to the running boards will reduce the bolt-bending loads somewhat (not much of a consolation, because bolts are not intended to take bending like that), but the "crown nut bar" is still exposed and...

I suppose, though, if Bubba (no offense intended for any Ranger5G members or visitors named Bubba :D) jams one of his shins on it, I don't think he will think to himself, "I'm not supposed to step on that". I feel your pain, though, about door dings. Keep thinking outside the box. :)

I can imagine what would happen if you stepped on the middle of that thing.

Explain how you would flush the tank with that thing. In the time it would take to find the tool, set it up, get a bucket to hold the excess and suck the fluid out, I could have the tank emptied and working on the first flush cycle with tap water, all the while, sitting in an air-conditioned...

Imagine the possibilities...

Most small radios can be mounted in the dash tray. There are a couple other threads with ham radio content, showing installation pics: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/amateur-radio-antenna-installations.3569/ https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/dash-tray-removal.3178/

I just flushed the factory windshield fluid in order to replace it with a supposedly paint-friendly solution. According to the service manual (Section 501-16), accessing the drain plug requires removal of the RF wheel and fender splash shield. In lieu of that craziness, I opted for the obvious...

Now we all know what to say to a Saber owner if we want to get him/her all riled up. :devil:

What @RANGER_MARC said. While no vehicle (even a hand-build Ferrari) is really perfect, a large percentage of employees at most American assembly (and manufacturing) plants these days, TRULY STRIVE for perfection. Sure, there is also a significant percentage of employees that could really...

Yeah, on the way up to TN to pick up my Ranger, I got passed by a new company- or state-owned Ranger (it had some sort of logo on the door). The back-end was so far up in the air, I almost turned around and came back to Marietta. I'm serious; I was thinking like, "what the heck?". I calmed...

OK, Krylon would have been my first guess. The exhaust and tip look good.

The new FX4 decal is a big improvement over the factory one. What brand paint did you use on the tailpipe?

You might consider getting a used 2006-2011 Ranger for the interim, if that will fit within your budget. I started out with a 1984 S-10 in '88 and ended up replacing that with the '92 Ranger (aka Ranger #1) in late '91. Also, what @SubVet said.
