What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

[fjwlobo]

Yes they are. I even shake my leg when I get them.

I call that the ELVIS affect

Drove it to pick up a used Yakima Load Warrior Roof Basket. Found it on Craigslist last night on my first search. Looks like new with all hardware. That thing that looks like a scratch is the garage light reflection . I had to go out and check it after I saw the pic

I will use it on the Ranger and the Cherokee XJ.

Paid half of what it would have cost new on AMAZON.

All depends on who's doing the rubbing!!

Climber's call it "Elvis leg" when you've been climbing a lot and your leg gets tired and starts shaking from fatigue on you.

Drove it to Waffle House for chicken and eggs over medium, hash browns smothered and topped with Heinz 57, wheat toast, water, and three cups of coffee. Then drove to Lowe’s where I bought a tape measure, two flashlights, and two plants. Then to the gas station for a fill up with 93.
So nice to drive the truck again without that nasty grinding noise.

Drove to work. It sat in the back of the Tyson parking lot for 8 hours, then stopped at Casey's General store for something to drink on the way home.

Went to get a pizza...wait for it...At the Casino. lol

They have really good food there and every New Year's Eve we get a pizza. Not sure how or why it started but we've been doing it for years now. Now to open a bottle of wine and watch the rest of the Cotton Bowl game. Oh yeah and try and make it 'till midnight.

Used it for work again! Not as heavy as the pathfinder.

I forgot which engine you opted for. How does the new one tow compared to your previous Ranger?

Eli has a 4x2 and they only come with the 2.3 motor.

Well, i cant do an exact comparison. I need to take all my modifications off. I added the road active suspension, which helps enormously! And added the glyder torsion hitch by GEN-Y. But it tows so much smoother and stable. I cant see towing without these two mods now. I will probably do a video without the towing mods and with the towing mods after the hunting season is over. 5 to 5500 tow with the passat.
But i have the same 2.3l engine. The 2.7 was only offered in 4x4. That takes away from my payload. I have a rear locker and integrated trailer brake controller.

Not quite apples to apples then. I also understood Ford redesigned the 2.3. Same numbers but a different motor. At the end of the day I'm glad it tows well. New trucks should tow better than their predecessors.

I'm two hours ahead of you on that one, which is perhaps a good thing, because after a few days of skiing, this is me:

Was able to handle some pretty severe weather conditions this morning to get to the gamelands for some target practice. Roads were terrible this morning but 4H plus my snow tires plus driving slowly got me there in one piece. Grabbed some lunch afterwards when the roads were cleared up. See if you can tell why it’s called “the rust belt” based on this picture… and yes, my truck is supposed to be black, not white.

My Magnetic will look white from all the road salt too! Do they pretreat the roads with liquid then use salt during the storms?
