What did you do to your Ranger today?

[FoD]

I put the AEM air filter in yesterday and I noticed two things:

First, the OEM filter stunk, like an old bait box or something, almost gaggy - anybody else notice that on theirs? Been in the garbage can since yesterday and the garbage was complaining about the smell today ?

Second, the AEM eliminated 95% + of the cold-heartedness on start-up for me. Was smooth and took off smooth too, but that was only the first drive afterwards. Will know more as I go through the week.

Added these fingernail scratch eliminators. They are fake carbon fiber, and are magnetic. Hit it a bit with a heat gun, and they fold right in. And are reusable. I had these on the now long gone (but not missed!) Tacoma.

I was going to get a roll of ppfilm for the sills and see if pieces would also fit the door handle pockets. I'm seeing some scratches already, and some at the tailgate handle too. Anyone try this?

You're making your Ranger wear hand me downs from a Tacoma? He may start acting up.

Might have traded it for a 2020 F-150. The dealer drives the new truck out Wed for me to inspect, test drive, and approve or deny. I need a larger truck...

I was inspired by Chris (@Brisko_Michigan), I installed a fire extinguisher on my Swing Case. I picked up a few small pieces of flat bar (they are actually some flat Simpson StrongTie things) and a rubber door sweep from Home Depot, and used that to manufacture a mount plate sandwich thing like Chris did. Super happy with the results.

Here it s with the case swung out a bit:

Case latched in place:

Closeup of the mount. Metal plate, then rubber against the Swing Case. This is the inner mount.

Close up of the mount from the outside:

Thanks again to Chris for the idea. This is a perfect spot for it!

Since I drive a fuel tanker, I'm required to have a UL 10 B C fire extinguisher. In my 30 years of driving fuel tankers, I never had to use it.

But it'll be worth using if I can save someone's life.

In the video, multiple people came up with fire extinguishers.

Installed a:
Curt hitch
7 way plug
Redarc trailer brake controller under the steering wheel. Until I get the light force fascia.
Now all I need is something to pull!

Changed my in cabin air filter. Yikes. Also chased around the crackhead who washed my truck the other day because he did an unnormally bad job.

What colour is that for the grille letters? I was almost going chrome (also have hot pepper Lariat) but that looks great to me.

sorry for the delay getting back to you as it took me a while to find out. https://tvdvinyldecals.com/collecti...nyl-insert-decals-for-2019-ford-ranger-grille
Silver grey metallic is what’s on my grill.

My AFE blade runner pipes finally showed,so put them on.
Pretty much like everyone else says,hot side is a breeze,and cold side takes a little effort.
