Oil change and tire rotation. Had to break out the old KD filter wrench.
Found out the ranger had zero zerks.
6.5 qts 5w30 Pennzoil and a M1-209A filter.
8600 on this one with 11% life left.

Well, they're not well know for precise parts and there's a reason for their name...... Rough Country.?:oops:

Also, thank you for not showing the instal pics of you while in your Speedo! I need one day of rest so my eyes can heal. ??
I did a customer service request and also posted a review on their site about the issues I mentioned above. That was Monday and so far crickets. No nothing.

And the "powder coating"? LOL, already got some surface rust.

I'll repaint them myself and need to grind out that one side a bit more, but for what they are, you do get what you pay for.

Too bad they just go silent. Unless I hear from them (ever), I'll never buy from them again. =(

still can't get over this blob of a bead - maybe it's to hook a rope?

Seems to be typical quality from American companies these days. Can't believe they have zero quality and no support for getting issues like this fixed. I bet they didn't properly clean and prime before the top coat of powder. I would yank them off and send them back. Totally unacceptable for what they charge.

Pre-season football starts tonight so I took off the NASCAR license frame and put on the Steelers frame.

Ranger is still on vacation. Wife had the big fat splint removed from her foot and leg and replaced with a big fat cast and not able to safely drive yet so I'm still rolling in her minivan dropping her off and picking her up from work. No big deal since I go past her work on the way to mine anyway. Just a matter that I get to work a half earlier than I need to be.

Saving a bunch on gas though.

I'd grind that blob down, shoot some rust reformer then add 3 coats of Herculiner.
(Herculiner takes a few days to cure heads up)


As mentioned, American companies are a joke these days. My $200 engine cover from jrc offroad came full of scuffs and chipped off powder coat.

One reason why I don't get aftermarket bumpers. Here in the Salt Belt every truck and Jeep I've seen with one is shot full of rust within three years.

Got my exhaust done finally. I didn't notice until I got home that they put a 2 1/2 inch pipe on instead of 3" and then refuse to fix it.

I installed my Wildtrak/global leaf springs today. All I can say is, WHY DIDN'T THE TRUCK COME THIS WAY?!

It's a night and day difference.
