What did you do to your Ranger today?

[RangerRandy]

Yeah, I didn't want to spend 300-400 dollars per wheel. These look fine, especially compared to what was on it before.

True! Very nice looking truck you have there by the way. Congrats!

Broke one spring . I can only guess when, I’ve noticed it today. It’s not covered by the extended warranty, I understand.

Hey @onobeka ,

It was all the mods!

Maybe it’s your truck’s way of saying it wants FOX, or Eibachs for Valentine’s Day.

Actually not today but yesterday.

Before:

And After:

Mishimoto CAI kit.

The power increase was UNREAL!

Unreal as in, not really.

Zero perceptible performance difference, though maybe it will make a difference later on.

I normally wouldn't buy one of these, but someone I knew traded their Ranger and was selling their parts so I got a very nice deal on it.

Maybe if I paint the "M" on top of it red I will get a few more HP.

Paint my engine cover too and add a red Ecoboost emblem and I'll be smoking tires through 8th gear ?

Exactly, I was waiting for a reason to upgrade. Unfortunately I can’t get those over here. Maybe Fox I can. I am contemplating between OME, Ironman and Pedders. Not sure if I want foamcells or nitro. I can get Pedders preassembled, 1.75” lift claimed.

Emptied the new catch can. Only 400 miles. Seems like a lot.
Mishimoto hoses may suck but the catch can appears to be working.

Yesterday was a big day of little things for Hermes.

1. Re-enabled the ASS, since I saw a video on fuel mileage savings with ASS and I am conducting my own testing. I can't leave things alone.
2. I installed grip tape on my sliders. My wife almost smashed her face when they were wet. This protects her from falling and me from my wife.
3. Installed my 1" wheel spacers. The tires look much better against the flares.
4. I installed the little stickers on my Auxbeam 8 Gang controller.
5. Messed around with the installation of my Trasharoo. I have ideas for keeping it from sliding around. More to come.

The pictures below coincide with the appropriate numbers.

Installed a new tonneau cover, north mountain 10000% better than gator soft roll up. Cover rails sit on top rather than holding on for dear life on the side with cheap clamps. And it’s only $200.

Radio redo and antenna tune up 1.17...

Finally threw in the towel on the 3rd brake/bed light replacement. I appreciate the instructional links and encouragement that was offered, but I’m man enough to admit when I’ve had my ass kicked, lol. In this case it was kicked, trampled on and handed back to me on a filthy platter.

Honestly? I just couldn’t figure out a “simple” way to get the headliner down enough to reach the wiring harness. I tried everything to reach it from outside the cab, but I’m convinced they just didn’t leave any slack to work with….and pulling interior trim to pop the headliner was puckering me up something fierce. I just don’t have the experience or know-how to make it a risk-free procedure.

I’ll hang on to the smoked LED light I was hoping to install. Perhaps someone will make a video on dropping the headliner that’ll walk me through it sometime down the road.

In the meantime, I’m waving the white flag….and plopping myself back down on the sofa, where I belong.

LOL I have two radios...the one shown is dual band programmed for GMRS + repeaters...the other radio is a remote Uniden CB and the mic/control is sitting in the cubby...that's why I have two antennas...

They're nice wheels for the money! I got them on mine a couple of weeks ago.

Beautiful truck. I sort of wish I went with rapid red but couldn’t find a RR FX4 at the time. The color matched bumper really elevates how good it looks.
