What did you do to your Ranger today?

[AzScorpion]

I am retired too. I fill up when I hit 3/4 of a tank... Or every 7 to 10 days.

I'm about once a month and I usually still have 1/4 - 1/3 of a tank left.

I can relate to your Dad. Been retired for 15 years and fill up every two to three weeks, yeah I don't drive much unless I have too.

Been retired 12 years this month. Got 149,000 miles on a 2021 Ranger, 24,000 on a 2016 CRV, 142,000 on a 2013 Grand Cherokee, and probably 100,000 on several other vehicles since retiring.

I have 26,800 on my 2019 Ranger. I do my own oil and filter changes at about 4500 mile intervals. Last year after the Trans, CDF rebuild, I had all the fluids replaced including coolant and brake fluid, both differentials and the transfer case. I would not let these go with the Ford recommended mileages. I still think of this as a brand new truck with an old guy driver .

I'm on the road so regularly that I have to stop and top off the tank with 89 octane in 3 day intervals. With the truck averaging between 20 and 23 mpg depending on what the weather conditions are.

Made a custom hitch mount, I will get more pictures of the additional bracing, but it will will hold tons of weight. This holds the Wilco swing out that I have.

How do you like the mount? I have yet to install mine.

It's sturdy. Most solid mount I've ever had. I've probably gone thru 4 or 5 cheap mounts and they all suck. This one doesn't suck. The install is really easy. Took me 30 minutes and I wasn't rushing.

Not my Ranger... but I helped a co-worker out by installing her T-style radio in her 2017 Dodge Ram 1500. It was easy compared to my Linkswell. It also sucks compared to my Linkswell. Never buy off-brands from Amazon. But it "works" and it looks good.

Of course you helped “her”

Get this ram out of here. We Dodge them for a reason. /s

I feel your pain... I'm a victim here too.

I could have lived out the rest of my life happily not knowing this device existed.

Then a doctor came over to my house to show off his new Bronco Raptor. It had a 6"suspension lift, new intake, new exhaust, new tires & wheels, a tune, a hidden winch in a heavy duty stealth bumper covered in lights, and a Bulletpoint Mouting System.

His Bronco had 107 miles on it when he rolled up.


I thought it looked "like a nice bolt on convenience" that I didn't need to waste money on. A few months later, my phone fell out of it's holder when I was climbing a steep hill. It bounced off my arm and landed in the passenger seat. Same off-roading trip (10 minutes later) and it flew out again going into a steep off camber. That one landed under my feet.

That's what convinced me to look for something "better".

I did my homework and the Bulletpoint was the best bang for the buck with the highest quality materials and EVERYTHING you need to make the install easy....

It's stout ! My phone is secure AF !!!

I got lucky... I have some extra free time on my hands (every other week) this time of year.

Changed the oil, front differential oil and spark plugs. The spark plugs looked fine and #4 had no rust! I was extremely nervous about #4 being a pain to get out. Especially at 103,000 miles and it rains here a decent amount. 1 is at the top and 4 at the bottom.
