What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Dr_Strangelove]

@Strobes - Where did you find that cool JBL Ranger replacement unit!? I've ever only seen the Alpine unit. https://www.ozaudioshop.com/products/ford-ranger-premium-sound-r-series

Do you like the sound? Worth the effort?

Drove the '22 to work this am. Stopt for gas and hand calculated 27.1mpg!!!

Sure, but what were the scores on the math portion of your SATs?

How can you possibly "hand calculate" 27.1 when you only have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs ???
Even adding toes, that's still only 20. And how do you figure out the .1 ???

I could tell you where he got the .1 but then I'd have to ban myself.

$610 later.

Well, if I were to count that, then I'd have to count it as a +20.....

I pulled it out of the garage and put a couple of buckets to good use.

I had so much fun, I took care of the stable mate too.

After you dried it off, it turned into a VW?

geez i was happy to get 20 mpg yesterday... id flip if it was 27.
in defense of abbs we spent 5 hours off road in first - third gear, and the rest in traffic so 20 is not so bad.

I’ll never get a damper, but I did try the 303 Graphene Touchless after I washed the Ranger today and I was pretty amazed at the beading. Then I was terrified of breathing any of that crap in the future or getting it on me! ???

and this separate powered sub:

Those JBL plates are just part of the kit, the tweeters fit under the original cover, same with door speakers. Had somebody help me with this, and we added a controller

I’m super happy with the system, the stock speakers suck ass, and these sound great!

That looks really nice!
More pics when bolted please! =)

Yep, but I put in the new belly pan and it’s all back to the way it should be. I can’t believe it’s already nine years old. Had a clock spring replaced on a special extended warranty that was issued solely for the clock spring, the Takata air bag on recall, and regular maintainance - less than 50,000 miles and the original brakes are still at 50%. So far, my Ranger is keeping pace.

The only problem it really had was caused by reckless humans.

Yeah try doing it in the garage with all the doors closed. I made that mistake the first time I used the Graphene Nano Spray and will never again. The Graphene detailer isn't as strong because it only has a small amount of Graphene it it.
