2022 Avalanche grey Lariat Ranger w/ fx4 package
Occupation
Keeping it real
Installed my smartliner bed mat and bed rug tail gate cover. Added some auxito led bulbs to my side markers and license plate lights. Other then that busy day working on all our bikes getting them ready for a camping trip. The truck got a foam cannon and pressure wash. This avalanche grey color hides dirt well didn't have an idea how dirty it was. Tired and resting after a productive day.

Is it the lighting or my colour-blindness? It looks like your truck bed is painted two different colours.

What are you talking about, it's a white bed just like your Ranger? :facepalm:

Get ya a bottle of this stuff. It will clean those white letters with ease.

Absolutely!
$13 for a gallon on Amazon right now.
I just had to order a bottle this past weekend.
Been using this stuff for years - even back when white letter BF Goodrich tires were 'the thing to have' in the 80's and 90's

I use to use this stuff all the time when I had the raised letters on my F150. I ran out one time and just mixed some bleach, water and a drop of Dawn and it worked just as good. I think I did a 40% bleach/60% water mix.

it's the lighting, doesn't help that Avalanche grey looks white under certain lighting.

what are these pod lights and where are they located?
I believe I got them on Amazon. I know I got the idea from someone else on this forum. Just like everything else I have bought for Lucille. LOL $$$$$$

The nice weather continues:
Today's mission was to install the Bushwackers and tighten up the Westin Traxx 5s.
I also put in the LED plate, 3rd brake and cargo lights.
I've got the decals and the mudflaps in the garage if we have a couple more nice days.

How do those Bushwackers go on? 3M tape?

Added a Bedslide 1000. Our last vacation was the last for crawling in and out of the bed for luggage and picnic supplies.

Installed the engine cover and it was beyond easy. Even with my atrophied arms from the damper, the hood struts did the heavy lifting. Now my arms have gotten weaker and I can't handle 3/8" ratchets, but the 1/4" is still usable (with effort and summoning my Thor-like power).

I guess Snap-On doesn't know about the tailgate damper, or they'd surely come take back their tools! =D

Now I can sleep well at night knowing that I have created a nice and warm home for chipmunks on those cold new Hampshire winter nights.

Blah engine with normal horsepower.

Darn it, too short to easily reach the rear (resisting urge to say "that's what she said").

Thank God it's not one of those giant torque wrenches! =D

Wow, so quiet I can hear myself fart and probably gained 50 or 60 horsepower!

Honestly though, I couldn't tell an engine noise reduction, but now I can feel fancier on my dump runs! =)
