What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Jhbryaniv]

@Grumpaw and @NeilP did you insulate the garage (or did it come insulated)?

I'm thinking of having spray foam guys come and do the part of the garage not against the living space, this no insulation and fire barrier requirement... Gotta love track home builds...

Referring to the phone ???
Yup, still works, circa the 90's.

Mine is attached garage. Insulation in ceiling, one wall is an outside wall with just batting and garage door has insulated panels.

Here's a pic of mine. Heater has no internal fan, so I have a small electric on the shelf that blows the heated air across the garage.
Ignore the stuff around it...it all gets moved when I use the heater...not cold enough yet.

I have a ceiling mount but it works only when it wants to. I have thrown parts at it to no avail. Time for an HVAC repair person.

My place is custom built. The garage is a three stall with 850 sq. ft. & is attached to the house. A few years ago I replaced the garage doors with the highest insulation rating I could buy. One and a half walls are an outside wall and one is all garage doors. The outside walls have 6" studs filled with fiberglass insulation and the ceiling has about 16" of blown in insulation.

I only run that heater intermittently during the day and never at night. I go through a 40# propane bottle and part of a 30# bottle each year. When I check the temp in the mornings after a super cold night, the temp in the garage has never dropped below 40°. Whoever built this place did it right. It has 3300 sq. ft of living area. Our natural gas bill (heat & hot water) in the winter averages $100-$125 and $20-$25 a month in the summer

I wish gas wasn't so dangerous so I would be willing to work on gas lines. lol

I here you. I have a feeling it is the gas valve or orifice.

The pressure of water column thing boggles my mind.

A fellow was skydiving for the first time and was having trouble getting his parachute to open. As he was hurtling toward the ground, he saw a speck moving towards him. As it got closer, he could see it was a man flying straight up in the air.

He yelled down to him as he approached, “Do you know anything about parachutes?”

As they passed each other midair, he heard the other fellow reply, “No - do you know anything about gas garage heaters?”

Started measuring and mocking up what the face of my fully boxed spindle will be. It will retain all oem sensors will incorporate oem bronco/ranger hubs. Theyre the same part number. I will re verify ones i get my axles for the m210. I will use mustang gt caliper paired with escalade rotors for easy and cheaper. Boring out center of rotor may be required. This is safe and inexpensive think about it they have same bolt pattern only difference is that opening they also have the same hub spacing, but that wouldnt matter since i intend on making the rotor and caliper inboard as much as possible to reduce the leverage weight as much as possible. You see this in trophy trucks a lot. Im also making jigs to be able to secure my work pieces, but in doing so i will be able to make them repeatable.

Lol... I have a space heater for my garage...

edit: forgot to quote users, whoop.

Finally got a tonneau put on it just in time for winter

 

[9zero1790]

assembled a "roll bar" - more like decorative off road light holder- to put on the 5g. i wish it was a real one but those are hard to find for modern trucks without laying out lots of cash. besides my main use for it is mounting lights. hopefully will have it installed this weekend! hoping i can still fit in the garage with the bar and spot lights on top... if not it may be in the for sale section in about a week

 

[Blmpkn]

Got my freshly painted valve cover and a new gasket back on it ? hopefully it stops pissing all over the manifold now lol.

Does yours flap in the wind too? Mine I keep rolled up 90% of the time so it's not a big deal but I already made it pretty tight. Still it's a pretty nice cover for $250. I just unroll it if I need to (mostly for leaves and mulch).

A little across the surface but it's pretty tight, this is the Truxedo Lo Pro. Cost me $600
