What did you do to your Ranger today?

[RedDakooter05]

Gotta count the grill, tailgate, dash, vents on front fenders. That's 8, don't recall the rest at the moment or if it was 13 for sure. Will search for the thread later.

Guess I pay less attention to my truck than I thought...

Couple of splices and routed wiring and my new 12v fridge will be controlled by my switch panels. Hope to have rather mundane project done tomorrow.

The pic isn’t the best but installed the Desert Does It MMP on the passenger side.
The electrical tape is to cover up the gaps. Maybe I’ll think of something else.
Any suggestions on various “clips” so that I can mount things to it? ?
I may just stick to the original plan of a fire extinguisher.

The above video was at the end of yesterday. I don't know if I shared it or not...

Anyway - I pulled everything out and ran the wires here:

They then run under the cab and to the engine bay along the frame rail. Everything else looks the same as the other pictures I posted, so no more updates.

Side note: The Decked system is a gigantic pain in the butt to R&R with a rack and tent on the bed. My knees and back are killing me.

It’s funny you say that; my wife and I have talked about painting the garage. It’s super rare to have a “finished” garage here, let alone insulated like ours. We’re debating on color right now. I’m not a fan of white, but I don’t want it too dark either.

We have been talking about the same thing. I have lived in this house for 22 years and the garage has never been painted, it was tapped tho and that started to "flake" off 3 or 4 years ago. What we will probably do is empty it out. have someone come in and retape and sand it then I will paint it before putting everything back in.

Might have the floor redone as well before putting everything back..

I did mine in Sherwin Williams Kilim SW6106. It's a nice neutral off white that still makes it light enough but not so light it shows dirt or every scuff. I actually use this color on a lot of houses because it goes with just about every decor and it's one of the more neutral off whites that's not the generic builders creamy color that shows up a lot of yellow tones

I like my garage painted white white. I don't like dark corners or walls. Whenever I do actually do worky things out there, I like it to be bright enough to see what I'm doing.

The main reason I don't like pure white especially here is because it get so dirty with all the dust. Plus back east we had a ton of bugs that would nest (cob webs) in the corners so when you swiped them with a broom it would show on the walls. I don't do a tone of work in mine here but I did changed my overhead lights out to LED's which really helps too.

I'll be doing that as well once the remodeling starts...hopefully this week.

Interesting. wifey and I were talking about color and that pretty much matches the color we were considering. I am assuming that is exterior semi-gloss or I can get it in exterior semi-gloss?

having light enough to do worky things in my garage is not a problem even if I paint the walls black LOL. I have two 8' double bulb florescent fixtures out there. that was the third or forth thing I did when I first bought the house

It makes a huge difference. I also left the cover off so you get more light and less shadows. Here's the ones I bought at Lowes for reference. They're a direct replacement and don't flicker at all.
