I'm surprised it didn't cough up a piston out of sheer spite. ?

I've been noticing my Ranger has been acting up lately. It never felt quiet right from day one but seems to be getting worse over the past couple weeks. The transmission seems to buck and surge and never seems to know what gear it wants to be in. Now the newest one, my back has been aching more and more and I almost went out and spent the $80 on those seat jackers. Then while unloading my equipment after work the other day I found the culprit! :shock:

When I bought my Ranger I cheeped out and re-used the bed mat from my Tacoma. :facepalm:

Ha! I had to go back to some photos I took but you’re not the only polack to try to stay with the Tacoma mat. I only stayed with mine for a couple days though and quickly replaced it.

Ranger Mat for reference. It definitely reveals the size difference.

After admitting this I might just have to ban myself for being a traitor. :oops:
But your TG damper and holy dedication converting us to 303 products counter act this heinous crime - barely. ?
Thank god you are are a great moderator - otherwise we’d have to burn you at the stake or stone you. Whichever one is more environmentally friendlier?

Do you celebrate Wigilia?
Wow I haven't heard that in years. lol We use to before all my grandparents passed and most of all the older relatives have since passed too. I remember getting together as a kid on Christmas Eve at their house and everyone would bring a (Polish) dish and all the older folks would be in the kitchen cooking and talking up a storm in Polish. Funny how I didn't care for it back then but kind of miss it now.

You should just repurpose it, bring it in the house and tell the dog;

"you wont get in trouble for going to the bathroom in the house anymore if you go right here"

Who knew Dave was a Taco Fan Boi at heart?
Willing to bet if we researched it we'd find that he's been quietly visiting a Taco forum while he's supposed to be moderating here.
