I “need” more still. Lol. Love tools ?

Yeah the adjustable one. I need to be able to have it get to the same height as the roof rack for hauling the occasional lumber/pipe/trim etc

I’ll look into that thanks! And I’ll check on that front part as well, I hadn’t thought about that. Just trying to be better about keeping my tools cleaner lol. (The decked system did not keep dust out before this)

It is. It’s mainly the tailgate that lets in water/dust. The ranger tailgate isn’t very tight, and that’s putting it mildly. Gaps are like 2” between the side of the tailgate and the inside wall of the bed. Hence my attempt to weatherstrip it so to speak. The cover itself will get a little...

I’m also working on weather proofing the tailgate using some roofing grade expanding seal tape. Still a work in progress, but it’s less dust/water now at least.

Hello all, Just thought I’d share part one of my Ranger build. Got a Line-x spray in done Installed a Retrax One XR And cut a 2x8 to fit as a divider, then coated it in rustoleum truck bed coating spray to make it match nicely with the bed. (And also to make sure I don’t use it for something...

Jokes on you, I don’t have a garage! (Still saving for the first house lol)

LOL. While that does sound accurate, more just not a high priority in the budget lol. But will probably get my CHL and a hand gun in the next couple years. Then move on to rifles and such. I enjoy target shooting myself, but always borrowing my buddy’s guns lol.

You are not, I also do not. Currently. Lol.

Somehow I knew there’d be a thread for that lol.

So my wife surprised me with a little blue Ranger as part of my birthday cake and I just thought it was terrific lol. It’ll be going on my desk at work now. I feel seen lol.

Yeah we had one of those winter ‘21 and it was nuts. I was working on apartments at the time and had like 3 days working 12-14 hour days purely fixing leaks on several complexes. I kid you not, was in a boiler room, would fix one leak, turn it back on, and a new one would bust and it happened 7...

Yep, it’s about to get into the 30s next week here in the Dallas area and we’re all like, how many layers can I have on and still move? Texans are only okay when it’s about 70-90 degrees, any colder or warmer and we can’t handle it lol.

Still in an apartment for now so no real outside decorations minus the wreath on the door. But the living room is nice, courtesy of my lovely wife. Fake tree this year, but we plan to go back to a real tree next year.

I have a pretty bad washboard road I take home from work most days and it’s alright. Better than the f150 stock. But I put bilsteins on the f150 and that helped a ton. Will probably do the same with the ranger soonish.

I know right? It feels smaller, but not by much than I was used to in my 03 and 07 f150s. Definitely feels tighter on handling by a mile though lol.

Yeah. I spent a lot of money on that lol. It’s a great system and served me well, but for me at least, I need the full use of the depth of the bed more often than I thought I would, so I will be installing a retrax cover on my ranger this go around.

The red f150 that you can barely see is my old truck that I just sold today.

Thanks for the welcome! I’ll try the sport sometime. Mine had no recalls on it, is a TSB different? Also I have seen the damper wars lol. I will probably not get one as I tend to loop the cables over the latches fairly often to get an angle for transporting lumber and such. I plan to put a rack...

Thanks for that breakdown. I like the idea of having options. I’ve seen lots of people here running the Livernois so like you’ve said it seems to be a quality tune.
