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.

Holy crap!
It still looks good with the Bilstein 5100s on it and setting level.

I remember all my F150's looking like that when I lived back in MA. We'd go up north to ME & CA snowmobiling and between the salt and sand you couldn't tell what color it was. One time it was so bad I had to bring my white F150 and trailer to the car wash (wand wash) and do 3 rounds of washes just to get it somewhat clean. When we left it looked like a sand bar inside the stall. :oops: I don't miss that at all and now I just run a California Duster over my truck every 4 days to get the dust off. lol

Surprised a California Duster works on Arizona dust.😎

Yeah, mine looks about the same. :(

I’ve been waiting for that perfect window to give it a good wash but it just hasn’t opened up. When it does, my Ranger will look great for maybe two days, if I’m lucky.

I’m not sure what’s worse, the beet brine or the salt.

Drove the Ranger across the Jamestown/Scotland Ferry to Williamsburg, picked up this beautiful girl complete with her jack-ette and pink collar and leash, loaded her in the Ranger, and took her for a ride on the parkway. Then we took her for a walk on the banks of the James River which she absolutely loves. We saw one eagle in flight. Then we loaded her back into the Ranger, drove down the parkway to Colonial Williamsburg, cruised through there to see all the people, then cruised back to her home in the Ranger, took off her pink leash and jack-ette after which she promptly stretched out on her sofa covered up. Then I drove he Ranger back across the ferry to home and backed it into the carport. It was an awesome day to own a Ranger……

I still have you to thank for pointing me in the right direction on the height setting. Others’ advice was helpful but it was great to see what it would actually look like on my ranger’s twin! Definitely very happy with the 1.8 and not sure if I would’ve wanted to get any higher

That’s the same shocks I had the four wheel drive shop put on my Ranger. I’m very happy with them. I think it looks pretty good for 149,000 miles. 👀😁

That brush guard is sweet! Where did you get it?
Amazon. Think it was this one or very similar. I live in a county with a VERY HIGH DEER POPULATION so I call it my deer guard. It saved me once on my Ranger and three times on my Grand Cherokee.
