What did you do to your Ranger today?

[TuggerNutz]

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.?

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

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. ?

Did a pretty bad job of using my touch up paint to fix chips before I install the AvS Bugflector ll tomorrow??. I’m much better at destroying or breaking ?

Went to the car wash to clean the engine compartment and did a good hand cleaning on the rear wheel wells. The rain has finally stopped so it’s time to do a deep clean.

Very impressive job, I’m not sure mine looked that good the day I picked it up from the dealer.
One of the best colors on the Ranger, although I’m partial as I have a 2019 the same color.
