What did you do to your Ranger today?

[JohnnyO]

Gave it the last wash and detail of the year and smoked a fine cigar while I was at it (La Gloria Cubana Serie R).
Pretty soon I won't be able to do either. Getting a new left knee on Wednesday and I can't smoke for a couple days prior to surgery and won't be moving well for a few weeks after.
Also cut my grass and my mom's at her new house. Gonna get all the use of my OE knee that I can.

OE knee - you’re crackin’ me up.

Good luck with the surgery.

My FIL had both done at different times - first one, he was slow, careful, and a bit needy for a few weeks. Second one, he was waiting for me at the hospital elevator and walked to the car to go home. ?

I hope it all goes well Jon! ?

They've got me scheduled for the first surgery of the day, PT in the afternoon, and go home after that. I didn't want to stay overnight. They told me no kneeling for at least six months so I don't know I'm going to get my tires cleaned and Armor All'd.
Plan on getting the other one done next year.

If you can smoke I cigar while detailing your truck, you're not detailing hard enough... ? ? ?

I winterized the Ranger. Awning removed. BillieBars cross-bars w/ bike mounts removed. Winter tires/wheels installed. Washed it and added a liberal application of wax.

The cheap bottle jack I purchased to help with this was much faster than using the factory jack as I did in the Spring. The jack is a POS though and will be returned. I’m the market for something that will lower without having to be pried down away from the lifting point with so much force that I had to use my breaker bar.

Took it out for a spirited Sunday morning rural drive to remove any oil from the fuel. I've been working from home for a few months now and don't get the truck out very often. I think we both enjoyed it. I drove it in tow mode and used sport mode a lot with manual shifting (+/-) to get some rpm's and use the trans as it was designed.

I've been considering a pedal commander, and ordered one last week. It should be delivered this week, so I'll see how it feels on my next Sunday morning drive. ?

You also will need a Sunday afternoon drive to give it an Italian tune-up.

It was a beautiful day in SoCal. The Santa Ana winds had died down a bit so I drove up Maple Springs Rd (5S04) to North Main Divide. Took the short cut obstacle and then a steep climb off the main road (23°). I made a video you can watch.

Enjoyed taking the drive with you David. Thanks for sharing.

I really like how fast you drove on the way down.

put some new rubber on the 4g this week. Got them at @Discount Tire of course. fair price for them plus they were quick. less than an hour in and driving away. the new tires ride really nice. the old ones kinda stunk since day one.

Nice!! Great scenery!! Double-nice without the typical click-bait hype and drama.

Thanks for the ride !!

At 4X normal speed I think I got up to 24 - 30 MPH (that's 38 - 50 KPH)! Raised a lot of dust.

I lived in Silverado canyon for over ten years. Been there hundreds of times, literally. Next time go right at the junction instead towards black star. It’ll take you to blue jay campground off of Ortega highway near El Cariso. I’m not sure if it’s still passable. I haven’t been in a long while.

I think it's only open to hikers and MTB at this time. I've ridden my mountain bike up to Santiago Peak and did a little exploring at the intersection of North Main Divide and Maple Springs. I didn't see a drivable trail.

About a half mile past the peak the road was eroding pretty bad and that was 12 years ago. So it doesn’t surprise me that it’s impassable by 4 wheelers. Bummer great offroad trails back there. The road you were on I used to turn off and go to Corona also to the 15 freeway. Had go through the backside of the golf course there. I’ve probably explored every road back there and then some. Great memories brought back by your video, thanks for that!!!
