For the rest of us, you have to really like taxes and long waiting lists. :wink:
I need dental work that will cost me $35,000 after insurance, and have to wait a year to get in.


For that I'll wait a year and not go into credit ruin if I could goto canada.

Swapped the fluid in the front and rear differentials, the transfer case, changed the gasket/filter/fluid in the transmission, and the air filter.

I've been running the air filter for about 20k miles and it was absolutely filthy. I'm betting that's why my fuel economy has been dropping. This is a couple smacks on the ground.

The rear differential fluid was quite dark.

The transfer case fluid was... okay... but worth swapping out. I made a huge mess with the transfer case. It shot fluid much farther than I expected and missed the catch can. Luckily, I had this tray down. Most of it was caught by the tray.

The transmission fluid was dirty but stisll had a reddish hue, so... I'm glad I changed it out, but it probably wasn't necessary.




I have decided to stick to a 30k fluid swap for everything but engine oil.

Yeaah but I may get kidnapped and all that good stuff hah.
Don't believe all the media hype. it's like anywhere else you go. There's bad areas amd good areas. Generally speaking people are very hospitable. I travel out there tons. Shit look at the race teams that travel to baja with multi million dollar equipment and vehicles with no issues, but I digress.

I let the Ranger sit in the driveway while the newly applied Krown spray did it’s runoff thing. It will sit there most of the week until it “drys” up. Then back to parking in the garage

? But these days, you may not come back alive!
This was taken out in Mexico, and as you can see I was out in desert Mobbing in it.

Took the ford badge from hood protector and hot glued it to my $2 manual pouch to make it all official-like.

That's pretty slick! Undoing all of Ford's decontenting is a seemingly never ending pursuit!

Very nicely done!
