Got home from MX and my air filter was sitting by the front door. Figured I'd get a spare to get me by until the madness (shortages) stop. Sid @Msfitoy you'd better grab a case of them with the amount of miles you drive. ?

I have the mini version of that one. My neighbor passed away and his wife was getting rid of some of his stuff and gave it to me. He used it for his motorcycles and it works "ok" for the truck. You're is probably a lot better as it has more hp, this one is really only good for those areas that water likes to sit like side mirrors and door creases. Plus it's so hot/dry here from March-November that the water evaporates in those areas pretty fast so rarely use it.

Got this in the mail Friday:
Westin HDX Stainless Drop Nerf Step Bars.jpg

That will help both of us get in and out. There's no way I could use the Ranger easily without these, for a 5'6" guy (an old fat one on top of that, but ruggedly handsome). Grabbing the steering wheel and scrunching to get in and sliding across the bolster would make for a grumpy owner after a while! =D

I'll post pics of them installed on the what I did thread and probably the running board thread.

By the way, that's my dad's 1940's Case Boy Scout knife! I tend to hold on to stuff. Still works awesome and is my EDC.

This is why the new Bronco has MGV (Marine Grade Vinyl) interiors. It's idiot proof and you can easily wash the whole interior out. lol ?
