What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[DukeCanBuildit]

I'd never heard of it before - but it is awfully cool..... I love seeing stuff like this - it is one of the many reasons I love my Capri - you just don't see many of them anymore. I like stuff that is unique or unusual.

To me, it was the only thing on display worth taking a picture of because it was unique. Sure there was an old Morgan, some TR6s, a beat up TR8, a couple of Vettes, a rough looking 1966 Mustang, a huge Catalina convertible, and some other stuff but that engine was the only really cool thing there. ?

Got them, not so babies but more like teen-hens, so we needed to pack them quickly into boxes and after arriving to new home one of them took off into yard and we searched for her quite long. So no pics of them this time.
But I washed my truck and had fun with her on curvey roads I’ve never been before.

truck looks sharp. its so hard to keep black looking nice.

I’m thinking about good vax or ceramic. After summer season there will not be so much washing and black truck turns into dark colour truck.
Yesterday got some scraches to plastic and window seals while being a little adventurous

I and a mate went bush (technically a week ago, but I haven't been on the forum for a little while).
The Raptor performed well, as always, and the Jimny punched so far above its weight its hilarious.

Ceramic will really protect your paint and keep that black Wildtrak looking as great as it does now. I wish that version was available here in Canada.

He banged up the hood a little, eh?

A little fishing since the weather is perfect!

I never thought I would use the sliding pass-through window (back window) when I bought my Ranger. Well - I've used that window a number of times to haul boards that are more than 8 feet long. I put a towel on the front dash and one over the middle back seat headrest and it works perfect when I only need a couple boards. Easier than hooking up my trailer. I take back roads home from Home Depot or Menards and it works great. This way I don't have boards sticking out way past the tailgate and I don't have to peel back my toneau cover either.

As a side note, not having to open the tail gate saves wear and tear on the damper!!!

I had the tough job of using my ranger to haul all the goodies needed to set up a dorm room for my little girl. Ranger ran great. Not a very heavy load but it was packed.
About 250 miles one way.

Rented a brand new Jimny in Costa Rica 3 years ago, I STILL want one.

Party like it's 1999!

oh man, those springs look like they could really damage something if it breaks will under stress! glad no one was hurt and no dents to the truck.

The good thing is that there's a safety cable that runs through the spring. That's an extra cable that never gets a load on it and it just there to keep the spring in place. There sure would have been hell to pay if that spring did whip around since Kate's new car is in there!

Awe yeah. No more strained back.

No more pants buttons into the fender.
No more scary moments when the bed rail cap pops out of place.

Yikes on the bed rail popping out, I never thought of that and thanks for the heads up, I won't rely on it so much when I climb in and out the rear.

I had to raise the platform to its highest place to reach the middle on the tonneau, still easy enough to step up on, but about 4 inches taller.

I haven't tried with the emergency brake on, but the truck will roll a bit when moving on the platform - not more than an inch or so, but it was disconcerting the first time (is that the right word? or does that mean to remove a concert?!?). =p

That makes my shins hurt just looking at it. Kind of like the old metal bicycle pedals from back in the day.

LOL, I might be 5'6" after first waking up after a non-physical day! =D

Need me some gravity boots to get taller:
