Finally got new rubber !...265/70/17 SL rated so they're not too heavy ( 4x2 sport suspension).
TOYO Open Country AT3. A little noisy, but low radio or AC covers it. Smooth riding, no changes in Fuel economy with easy driving. Speedo is 2 mph off (actual is greater than indicated ) at all speeds up to 60 ...3 mph of at 65 and 70... and gets worse the faster i go... will probably figure out forscan or get the hypertech to adjust so the odometer is accurate. Great breaking and grip on wet roads. No rubbing with stock suspension and OEM sport magnetic wheels. I LOVE the way they look.

Truxedo tonneau arrived today. Still have to figure out where all the foam blocks go. No issues with the factory bedliner.

I just picked up my ranger this weekend and it came with the plastic bedliner. I'd love to grab a cover that works with the bedliner instead of having it ripped out. Would you mind sharing the link for this one?

Pressure washed it after wagtails attacked the mirrors and pooped it to white.

Seems that after 1500 miles the road grime is such that it does not fall off anymore with pressure washer & foam wash. Guess I need to go and get me some microfiber mittens and do it manually and do a proper wax on it at the same go.

Found a rock chip on the hood also. That would be the first dent.

Let the wife drive it for the first time. Hope it comes back in the same condition it left in.
Ha! Same here. Had to take my wife's Kia Soul into the dealership due to a serious recall. Long story short, they're likely going to replace the engine if the Kia Headquarters doesn't find a way to weasel out.

Anyway she's taking my truck to work. I'm a tad nervous. :oops:

My wife keeps asking to drive my truck. Hasn't happened yet, but will soon enough. I've said a prayer for both of you. :D

I'd worry more she likes it and you never get it back! My gf drove mine and now loves it and now have to fight her for the keys when we go out. Good thing she's working from home now or I'd never get to drive it. :shock:

That's what I'm afraid of... I work from home and my wife commutes from Dallas to Fort Worth everyday.
