What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Glocker]

There is always work. I'm a chef. Always construction, especially since Maria whomped us so badly. That was horrific and the scariest night of my life. I think we have a storm coming now.

I always say that the people here are the most polite rude people in the world. haha.

Life is simple here and you have to get use to going without stuff. There's definitely an air of roughing it here. I like that though.

I'd love to be a chef, but I don't have time for the formal training and when I retire, I think the age of 48 will be a bit late. I may see about getting on with a boat towing operation like Tow Boat U.S. or Sea Tow. It's busy work but I was meant to be out by the water. I've also considered bring over a decent smoker and selling low and slow BBQ and bottled beer from a plywood shack.

Interesting, but what do you do with the spare? Take upbed space?

Right side dually...

People do it, that's for sure. You can do anything you want bro. I'm 47 and yes, no you can't just become a chef. You can wash dishes and learn though. lol.

I think I'll stick to cooking my "low brow" food and writing about it.

Might still do the shack with BBQ though just to have something to do while I drink beer.

Neat site. Cool man, when you're read, if you have any questions hit me up and I'll help anyway I can.

Installed a Lariat grille about a week ago and yesterday I installed an FX4 skid plate and Ford Performance red tow hooks

Man this looks good do you know if this would fit the STX 4x4 model

Ordered the Terrain Management shift knob thing through my local dealership today. It should be here Thursday and look like the pic. Now that I have the upgraded dash cluster, I can use FORScan and activate Terrain Management and bam, I can selected Terrain modes.

Went fishing and caught a few. It's been a good fishing truck so far. Did pretty well. My size 14 next to the 36' black drum caught on my surf rod for scale. Awesome fight on a light tackle trout rod in the surf.

Did a good deed and pulled out a stuck minivan, TWICE today. I told this young man to stay on the hard pack near the water. I pull him out and he proceeds to drive about 20 feet and make a hard left into the soft sand instead of a right to the water line. You just cannot fix stupid. I told him the third time is going to cost him because he is interrupting my fishing. He did not get stuck a third time.

Hi Shea,

Do you do house calls? Green Valley AZ.... About 8 hours away?

Looks fantastic!

Learned zero miles to empty may mean just that. I drove for about 1 mile after zero miles popped up.
I always thought your miles to empty number had a safety buffer of 10 or 20 miles.
I think mine might be dead on. Zero miles to empty and the truck took 19.989 gallons. Not great at math but that’s more than my 19 gallon tank should hold. I did do one top off squeeze but I don’t think that accounts for almost one gallon. Maybe Shell is screwing me???

That's 93 octane prices if you are wondering.

Haha... I would not want to do this for a living. Thanks for the kudos though!

Created an account for my truck! Also put an awning on the truck!

Feel free to follow me on Instagram to see where the truck takes us!

Installed the underseat lockable covers from Front Runner.

Instructions said 45 mins for installation but spent a good part of Saturday swearing over it as I think it was designed off the 2019 ranger and didn’t fit flat on my 2020 due to the tyre retrieval tool being in the way. So just a heads up to anyone who is wanting to get this - if you’ve got the 2020 ranger, you’ll have to do some trimming of the plastic! Need a longer screw for the one that is missing but that will be easy to do soon.

Before anyone asks, is this completely theft proof? No because of the Allen key screws are exposed but hopefully a good deterrent for the “gone in 60 seconds” type of opportunists. I love the look and quality of the steel too!

Those look really good, nice addition.

Installed king shocks

Ooooff ???

Thanks mate! The quality of front runner products is awesome. Highly recommend their gear.
