  1. Your rig in epic camp sites!

    Buckhorn Wash, San Rafael Swell Valley of the Gods Valley of the Gods Black Dragon Pictograph Panel *Not actually a campsite, but a fun drive down to get there.
  2. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Dump runs for my birthday. About 4600kg (~10000lbs) total in busted up sidewalk. And a dead tablesaw. Not all in one trip, the trailer can only fit about 1500-1600kg. And I have to hand bomb it in and out so... But before all that, we went on a late November desert sojurn, a little last...
  3. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Had a lumber/canoe/whatever rack that's compatible with my softopper built and installed. Tig welded, bolts to the softopper mounting rails, middle and rear crossbars removable so I can still fold the topper and carry tall things in the bed. Thanks to Mirek and Apex Precision Fab in Nelson!
  4. Softtopper now available for 2019 ranger

    Just had a custom aluminum rack put together for the softopper. Tig welded, rear and middle cross bars are removable so the topper can still fold and tall items can be carried. Bolted to the softopper rail & an extra set of rail clamps in the middle to keep everything snug. Big thanks to Mirek...
  5. Is there any disadvantage to a SuperCab?

    In Canada the Lariet w/leather is not available in the SCAB. That's about the only disadvantage I could come up with when I ordered mine. Would have been nice, easier to keep clean/free of dog hair. *Edit. Also the big and medium dog both fit fine in the back of the SCAB. It's roughly 2' x 4'...
  6. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Uhh, washed all the bird shit off and then bought a car cover because I park under a tree. Yea, I'm one of those people I guess. I need a garage.
  7. Softtopper now available for 2019 ranger

    Well, that didn't take long. Thanks to the cold the rear vinyl window is cracked already. A little disappointed but not suprised. Guess I'll be ordering solid replacements eventually.
  8. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Back from work so swung by the tire shop and finally had the winters on the OEM steelies mounted after they'd been sitting there for two weeks. 265/70R16 Toyo Observe GSi-6.
  9. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Picked up some next to new OEM 16" steelie takeoffs with the TPMS for 200 bones last night, dropped them off at the tire shop to get some winters mounted this week. Hung it out sideways a bunch in this new snow.
  10. Clearview Towing Mirrors

    Sent an email to Clearview to confirm, but I take it this likely means any aftermarket heated mirror (not just OEM Lariet mirrors) requires additional wiring on an XLT with 301A or 302A?
  11. Hitch Racks

    Follow-up to the tailgate-thule interference conundrum. I went with option 4 and busted out the grinder and some zip disks.... It beats out the 1Up by only costing me $0.82 for a piece of pipe insulation, being available immediately for a perfectly good hitch rack and I can open the bed drawers...
  12. Coastal offroad rock sliders??

    Keep us updated and thanks for the code! I'm looking at these for a quick winter project.
  13. Home built bed drawer design?

    This. I lucked out and the Hi-Lift and traction boards both happen to be less than 5 1/4" tall.... Measure maybe and hope for the best doesn't always work. Drawer fronts and handles added today. Probably won't get to cubby covers this week.
  14. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Getting ready for the glamping trip down to Tierra del Fuego.... Also kicked a sawhorse over and put a scratch down low on the driver's door. Good thing it's a truck for doing truck shit and not just a pavement princess. Can join the rock dent in the hood and pinstriping down the sides.
  15. Home built bed drawer design?

    Working on my own set right now. Platform base rests on the bed floor, platform top would cover the wheel wells if I ran it full width bedside to bedside, but I instead just cut down a 4x8 to cover the drawers and left it 48" wide. I'll make covers for the sides and front, pretty much the whole...
  16. Hitch Racks

    In Canada and they ship exclusively with FedEx so it will be a bit pricier than that, not to mention it's out of stock/can't even add on to the cart, hence the waitlist. Not in a big rush anyways, the Thule works fine other than the tailgate interference, have a 3 week work trip coming up & I...
  17. Hitch Racks

    Thanks for the pics @armoredpig. Super low profile, now I'm on the waitlist! 1Up USA Super Duty Single I believe. FWIW I don't get the argument against 1Up in that they are expensive. Any half decent tray style rack from Thule or Yakima is in the same price range. Current exchange rate, I'll...
  18. Hitch Racks

    Very aware of the good things about the 1Up, glad to hear it shouldn't interfere with the tailgate. Anyone have photos? Plan on keeping the Thule for the time being anyways, looks like the 1Up is sold out for awhile.
  19. What are you guys towing?

    About a yard of cedar mulch to fill in some low spots in the vegetable garden side of the yard... And about the same in 3/4" washed crush so the dogs have somewhere clean to poop....
