David, I’m not sure if I like you so much because you’re French Canadian, or because you drive a Scab, or because you’re so stoked about your Ranger that you’ll buy anything and everything for it. ?

Okay, maybe it’s all those things combined. :)
A frog in a SCAB that likes dump runs.

I do very much enjoy the Ranger and this forum and our interactions. =)

Showed up yesterday, couple of early Christmas gifts for Big Blue. Husky front floor mats, just in time for snow this weekend. And, a MTM lower grill insert, got tired of looking at the big empty hole. May paint the mountains blue to match the truck before install.

I just bought 2, 8ft 4x2's!!
I keep joking in going to follow behind the contractors at work and pickup the lightly used 4x8 sheets of 3/4 pt plywood and sell it in the black market...

But it's all for my truck.

? Gonna troll you, guess what hole I'm gonna plug next!

(No, I don't swing that way... sober)
Oh no, as soon as you spill the beans, I'm gonna have to order this.

So you said this 3/4" we're a little loose?

I did see that you can get them in 19 mm, do you think that's a better way to go?

Your gonna plug the 2 large holes in the frame, rear, just in front of the rear tires. Plug the support tube that is a frame support.
If you go to Amazon, check Upper Bound part # UB50366...made specifically for that purpose.
Come in pairs...bought them last year. :like:
For info, as that tube runs the width of the frame, spray the tube interior with some spray grease to hold moisture/rust at bay.
I had an old spray can of motorcycle chain spray lube and gave that tube interior a real good spray coating.

19mm roughly converts to 3/4"

I've been trying to track down the 21mm size but they don't sell them in less than 1,000pc bulk packages. That said 3/4" will be fine for rocker panels but I personally don't like how some of that wiggle in place. Rather have a tight seal.

Just blast fluid film in the holes anyway and you'll be fine. Loose fitting plugs or not.



Man why is automotive talk so sexual...

Well someone knows whats up.

I checked out the P/N on amazon, it's the same size as to what I ordered but I saved half the cost of what I ordered. Same style and material. And I'm well aware of rust, hence why I'm a fluid film freak.
