What did you do to your Ranger today?

[OrangeStreak]

Nothing exciting today... other than checking to be sure that my new cargo tie downs are still on track for Wednesday delivery.

I think I'm going to order another set for the upper spot at the front of the bed. But probably going to have to wait a bit. At this point the Warden will quickly recognize the vender and dollar amounts. "You just ordered a set! Why did you need a second set?!"

May have to start ordering stuff with squirreled away cash. And have it delivered to my neighbors house.

Oh the things Ranger fever makes you do....

I can see your neighbor's front yard in a few weeks...

Guilty.

Stupid truck is going to get me in trouble.

Worth it.

Dude! You're back! Thought you got the dreaded "Banned" a while back. Must have been more like a time out.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

That whole ordeal was nothing more than an exercise in figuring out someone's true character. Now I know and now I move on having that knowledge. I have no further comment on the matter.

First verify the spacing for the upper front holes. Seems I tried to move my tie downs up and the spacing was different.

Yep. I measured the spacing initially and while it seems correct, it just didn't seem to be exact. Hence my order of "one" set.

Gonna test fit one of my new ones up top before installing them in the mid-bed position. If it fits, then at a later "under the radar" time I'll order the second set.

Let's assume those top holes are a different spacing.... anyone have any idea what they are for?

Some camping trips. Buddy Heater pretty much makes 30 degree nights a non-factor. Low setting (20lb tank will last 220 hours) more than enough to keep the interior toasty.

Hey Jack - is that setup simply integrated into your awning? It looks roomy enough, that’s for sure. Only slightly smaller than your old Garazeebo.

I imagine you can access your storage bins on that side of the truck from that back wall too? I like it. ?

I hate “rouge” nails. Feminine looking, but still very dangerous. ?

Beautiful... but deadly

Yes it is the ARB tent meant to go with the ARB awning and yes it has four sided access so you can still get to car doors or storage pods etc etc

It is 8.2ft x 8.2ft

I checked out that Buddy heater - not approved in MA or Canada - I imagine that’s a CO thing they haven’t gotten over - any idea how it works to avoid that or are you simply happy that it does?

The efficiency seems incredible. ?

I also made a privacy shower / bathroom out of a D-shaped shower curtain with quick disconnects. I then herculined it.

$20 invested.

It has a tip over sensor as well as an oxygen sensor for automatic shut offs.

Generally I will open about a 12-in gap in the rear ceiling wall of the tent just as a precaution and also to keep condensation down.

I've been using these in the upper spot near the cab and they're great. You can bake them in a cake and get them past the Warden no problem.

First what I did WITHOUT Pepper...I cheated...yes, I went on the 6g forum and snuck around! I was always planning to trade her after 4 years, and hit that at Christmas, but only 21k mi. I was not impressed with the re-design outside, but nothing a few mods wouldn't fix. Someone commented it looked like a fat Maverick, agreed. I thought 6g would come as 2023 model, nope it's a '24, and just starting production. So I have to wait. Was looking at the Mavericks too, but I'm not ready for that one yet! I also caught @AzScorpion lurking there, btw!
Now I'm feeling guilty, so Pepper got some "make-up wax". Actually 303 detailer. I just learned it looks better if done wet. The last time I did it, a few weeks ago, it looked crappy, lots of hazy smears that I had trouble buffing out, kept getting worse! But now, when wet, it looks better. It was just a "quickie", 52 degrees outside, no wheels or tires! Found a couple chips in the M2M trim! But she still looks good, after 4+ years, whatever that is in truck years!

Checking into sources of wind noise.

Its kinda disappointing how loose fitting the weather stripping is here, and the stamped holes lot of dust in there.
Plan to throw some light rtv in here eventually.


And don't worry about my finger nails.
