What did you do to your Ranger today?

Looks good! If your truck was silver, I'd have thought you stole mine! We have a lot of the same upgrades.

Installed my RC lights. Ford really needs to add a couple of inches to those aux switch wires. Also, I’m a big fan of solder seal connectors now.

I also installed Redline Tuning hood struts but took those off after 2 days. One of the struts wasn’t allowing the hood to close straight and finally just pulled out of the hood.

New air and cabin filter
Dealer Tuesday for an oil change

Not a fan of company decals, but this blank spot was bugging me.

Might track down maintenance log decal and use those instead. Pretty specific use so doubt I'd find any that fits.

Obviously you didn't. We don't believe you without pics?

It's Limo tint. It's so dark you can't see them. ??

Must have vinyl wrapped the truck camouflage cuz I can't see that either?

Drove the ranger one handed and a crow all while driving behind my friend with a bad transmission. What a day.

Not yet. I'm trying to decide on which one but leaning towards the Viofo A139 Pro 2 channel. Besides it's way to hot here to even think about installing it now. ?

Did you get yours yet?

? I figured you could save some money and just strap a GoPro around Cheech's collar and have him stick his head out the window.??

I would stay away from VIOFO A139 Pro. Thinkware is pretty good. It's got thermal shutoff.

So good my last Thinkware shutoff permanently. I'm a little soured on them seeing as it only lasted 14 months. Of course 2 months past the warranty.?‍

If you look at the heat rating the Viofo is actually a little higher than the Thinkware now. But in our heat I don't think any of them will last out here. I'm probably going to skip getting one as I've already thrown $500 away I'm not looking to throw any more away on another until we move from here.?

I didn't know you and William @Crow_of_judgement were that good of friends. ?

Mine came with a thermal sticker which I'm not sure if it helps. I lost faith in the VIOFO when it didn't catch my parking lot incident. No matter what I do the VIOFO would shut off after 2hrs in parking mode. I'll still have about 80% in my external battery. The Thinkware on the other hand I'll have around 99%. It's not because it's turned itself off though. It's because of how energy efficient it is. So it's not causing a lot of heat build up in parking mode. Which is a good thing for you. My Blackvue generated some heat in parking mode. It did have a unintentional benefit with frosted/foggy windows. Unfortunately for the Thinkware the view gets obstructed. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I never ran the extra battery pack but mine seem to be ok while parking mode. I did use the OBD cable for power so when I was home I'd just unplug it. That's one feature I really like that only Thinkware uses. It makes it super quick and easy for the instal. Now I see the OBD cable comes standard and the hardwire kit is now extra. I did see the thermal sticker but I doubt that'll help here when it's 117* outside. Maybe I just got a lemon because when I talk to the guys at Blackboxmycar they were surprised to hear it failed, especially so soon. Maybe if I hit tonights Mega Millions I'll give it another try. ?
