What did you do to your Ranger today?

[TxOTRRanger]

When my wife was a kid her family drove a motorhome up to Alaska to deliver it then flew back. Drove from north Idaho to western Washington to pickup the motorhome, drove it up north and flew back to Seattle. Everyone was required to carry multiple spares I believe and needed to be self sufficient. This was about 1975. Wild country I'm sure.

On the episode of ROADKILL when Freiburger and Finnegan made that run. The ROADKILL 68 Ranchero has the classic hot rod rake to it because it has air shocks in the back. Except that episode it sat like a pre runner with negative rake, because of the supplies that were in the bed. They drove from L A to Alaska.

Busy day today. Took Twucktwea to the car wash. Then I finely put my 20 something bed box back in. I had taken it out so I could haul Edsel parts to the IEC convention. Taking a break. Might put on my FX2 stickers. Plus another sticker. Just added the stickers.

Saturday morning we ran out for some breakfast pastries and got the "low battery - remote functions disabled" message with the tinny-sounding chimes and I thought, "Well, maybe I had better plan for a new battery next weekend."

Battery had other plans! Yesterday morning nothing but a click. So I used many threads from this wonderful forum and the knowledge shared by members both past and present to get the battery swapped, reset BMS, and reset my auto driver's window.

Thank you team!

Good ole maintenance day.

Removed the air dam on the front end and knocked out an oil change! Wiped down the engine bay and truck is looking nice and clean.

66k Miles, 2020 Lariat!

@anix ,

So, with the air dam removed, there’s a big ole gap that could allow sand, gravel, snow, mud, etc. to get up on top of your skid plate.

You should consider my Air Dam Delete/Mod to close that gap.

All the cool kids are doing it and you get a free t-shirt!

Well, it’s Tuesday, so likely “making a run for the border”.

I was just thinking today how much DIY work I’ve done on this truck since buying it this winter. For reference, before this truck I’ve never even changed my own headlights before.
1. Tonneau
2. Additional tie down points installed in the bed
3. New low beams
4. Changed my oil and rotated my tires 2x
5. Changed the engine air filter
6. Changed the cabin air filter
7. Installed anti-rodent hardware cloth in the cabin and engine air intakes
8. Wolfhaus power outlet routed into the bed
9. LED bed lighting
10. Fitzstick dipstick

And this weekend I’ll be changing my spark plugs, changing the transmission fluid, and changing the DPFE sensor. Here’s to hoping that leads to a big improvement in ride quality.

Next projects on the list will be PPE pan, a new transmission filter, mud flaps, and a bed rack.

Same here. I want a scale model of my Ranger.

I made some improvements.

I'm using Gemini on my Google Pixel 8 pro.

Upload a picture of your Ranger and put in this prompt.



Create a photorealistic 1/7 scale of the pickup truck in a commercial product photography style. Place the pickup truck on a computer desk, using a circular transparent acrylic base without any text. Next to the computer screen, place a BANDAI-style toy packaging box printed with the original artwork in English. On the computer monitor, display the wire ZBrush modeling process of the pickup. Focusing only on the digital model itself as it appears during the sculpting stage. Set everything on a clean computer desk indoors, illuminated with soft, realistic lighting that highlights the textures of the pickup model, add subtle reflections to the acrylic base, and give the packaging a glossy finish. The overall composition should feel like an authentic official product showcase.



Have fun.
