What did you do to your Ranger today?

[RedDakooter05]

Changed spark plugs @32K. Old ones looked good, but did it anyway.

How was the one at the back of the engine?

Duke,
Theres a thread on here talking about the bash plate holes not lining up. Stage 3 posted a thread about the kit itself, it’s there guys mention it.
I can’t imagine the tremor and the FX4 are not the same bash plate?
You installed this kit? I’ll try loosening all the bolts and see what happen.

I installed them on my XLT - it doesn’t have the same front skid plate as the FX4 but I just can’t imagine the tow hooks would mount differently between trim models - what would be the point? If I recall correctly, things didn’t line up perfectly but that’s not unusual and after loosening front and rear skid plate bolts, it all came together.

I don’t recall needing a big frigging hammer or anything being out of the ordinary - it was a bit like fitting an exhaust - keep things loose until mounted, then tighten things up properly.

Good luck under there Tony - at least you have the weather for it - I did it in December here in Toronto. ?

The rear most plug looked identical to the other three. I swear to God the hulk tightened them at the factory.

Don't forget to throw in the 100% humidity. Like hicks in the movie alien

Its a dry heat man!

Lol. I'll never get used to the heat. But thats still crazy hot.

Ya baby! The extender came 2 days early! It's gonna be a fun day!

Installed pics to follow.

I don't care if that cover doesn't do a darn thing. I really like how the engine bay looks now.

Looking forward to hear what you think about the extender. It's on my wish list.

The extender was a snap to install. The drill template was dead on. And it feels nice and solid.

It is crazy hot this week and it's usually June when we get these high temps. July is usually the start of monsoon season (through mid Sept.) and the temps are usually lower like 106-108 with more humidity but it looks like it's late or we're getting another Nonsoon summer.

Lack of humidity here does make a huge difference but 115 is darn hot, dry or not. Heck our morning lows are like some areas high right now. Although if I had to pick hot and dry is easier to deal with than the swampy humidity. There was one day when we were in southern UT and it rained at night so the next day out was more humid (I think it was only 47%) and we were both complaining how sticky it was. lol

I took out a mortgage to pay for fuel. And then filled it up.
