Induction service as in intake valve walnut blasting?
Anyways I put my UCas and Fox 2.5 on the front this weekend, rotors and pads swapped while I was in there and even bothered painting the calipers (+5hp). Holy hell the washers that sandwich the bushings were tough to fit in, shimmed the edge of one to squeeze it in. The single, long UCA bolt doesn't make it easy as clearance is right.
Shout-out to the CO crew for keeping me entertained over the weekend, too bad we never had the chance to meetup ?

Oil change time and this time just let the shop I trust use their oil and filters etc which is Napa oil filter and Napa full synthetic.
Saved me $100 since I usually request Purolator Boss and PUP. ?

Not today but last week, new Eibach stage 1, with springs, set to 3”, icon UCA’s, OME medium duty rear springs. I took off the Bushwacker flares, I think it makes the truck look less heavy. Took it out for a small adventure last weekend, ride is a little better off-road and on road it handles great. Pretty happy with the suspension and the look.

Added a wireless CarPlay adapter and wireless charging pad. So far everything is working like it's supposed to.

installed the MBRP exhaust today. Super easy install, 13mm and 15mm sockets and a flathead screwdriver. Installed in under 90 minutes, sounds great and zero interior drone.

While I didn't do this to my Ranger, I did it for my Ranger (and other assorted autos that I own).
I got tired of hunting down my battery charger for the different autos in 2 garages, so I installed a charging station on the wall of my garage. Added the same two chargers to my BenPak 2 Post Lift in the other garage. It was much easier to mount on the BendPak, I just used powerful rare earth magnets to attach both chargers to the post.
The larger charger is a BatteryMinder 8amp Model Model 128CEC2 - a great charger. The smaller unit a 2amp BatteryMinder unit that is great for desulfating and maintaining the battery for extended periods of time. I have 2 more of these units in an outbuilding where my lawn equipment is housed.
I keep a Viking battery tester on the top shelf. I can reach both autos by using the red 15' extension.
Here is a picture charging / desulfating my 2023 CX-5,,. and that is a Miata hardtop on the wall above the unit.

Hi! Curious what fuse you tapped with that yellow wire. Also wondering what terminal you connected your hot red wire to. I connected my black lead to the frame on the right, not on the negative terminal, but I guess both are fine.I installed trigger 4plus and license plate light bar I got for Christmas. Waiting for the ditch light and bars to arrive. Did some modifications on the light bar installation since I had a putco grill.
I used a double sided velcro to hold the trigger 4plus controller.

Yeah, seem well built minus the fact that the washers are incredibly hard to get in between the arms of the UCA. Called their tech support and he didn't seem to think they were needed at all other than for snugging up.
They've got greasable bushings and the uniball seems strong, we'll see how it fares with dirt and grime after a few years.

Washed two road trips of road grime and dirt off. With grime off it’s actually shiny again!
Too wiindy to 303 it today. I don’t want that stuff in my eyes. Also washed the old Cherokee.
Amazing spring day here in East TN.

Installed the Mishimoto Coolant Expansion Tank. I bought it used but basically brand new. Tried to go with the polished look. Hated it. Tore it out, painted it, and re-installed it in @ 90 minutes. Paint matches my engine cover now.
