Yeah the lugs gave my Milwaukee 1" impact a little trouble but I held in there and kept the trigger down and eventually she bit them off.

Ok, seriously, what did these goons tell you about the lug nuts? That's an impressive breaker.
Go big or go home, I guess! =p

I wanted a Craftsman, but it only came in the princess size (15") so since it's only going to sit in the truck (I'll be getting a brand new pneumatic impact hammer for my birthday in a few weeks) it doesn't matter if it's a bit larger.

Plus, if I ever come across a rolled over Taco, I can use it as a lever to flip them over.

Besides, I have to maintain the respect of fellow dumpers (although, because of the damper, this friggin breaker bar is probably too heavy for me).

Hmm, I should pull the gun rack out of the FJ and put it in Soupie! Storage solved!

Got a letter and e-mail from the dealer GM wanting to give me $25.193 for my 2019 Ranger and pay them $18,711 for an identical 2023 Ranger. Yea right......... So curious, I checked on Carvana and they would give me $32,349. Yea the stealer is light by $7,156. Obviously that isn't happening.
Sounds like you could make the deal for $11500 plus yours.

Check to see what model they listed for your Ranger. My dealer gave me the same offer for my Ranger XL. I don't have an XL. It's a Lariat.

Seems like they're sending out these letters all over right now. About a week ago I got one from my dealer and it was for $26,250 and it did say for your Lariat. That's what got me curious as to what Carvana and Driveway were paying. Carvana quoted me $33,560 and Driveway $30,249.

They did list it as an XLT 4x4, but with all the decontenting, I would still be losing my axx with it.

Known as a Speed Handle, and since I never worked on military aircraft, I have heard from past coworkers that battery powered anything was not allowed. I did work some military projects in a Repair Station, I remember it being a pain as you had to itemize every tool brought into the roped off area around the aircraft. (Accountability)
As far as the Speed Handle, for aircraft maintenance it works great in getting screws out of access panels to break them loose, mainly when using valve grinding compound is needed to get a bite on the screw, if that does not work break out the Screw Knocker (AKA-Old Man), and lastly drill bit and easy out and or left hand drill bit.

I found the timing exquisite! On the one hand a local attorney who has a laundry list of Ford Ranger issues, and on the other, Ford offering me a nice expensive warranty extension....

Whatever shall I do!

Soupie's dedicated lug nut wrench is now complete - got the deep impact 19 mm socket. Looks like a walking cane when put together and pretty near the length needed to use it as such!

But .. as exciting as that is ... got my Putco grill too!

Nice spring project to look forward to. =)

Good move, keep the trash from the dump out of your radiator!

That attorney sounds as if he's been reading Ranger forums, observed some having problems, and decided to see if he can get enough response's to start a lawsuit...Bus Bench attorney ! He's in it purely for the $$$.
Similar to "If you have eaten a lot of green peas in the last 20 years, and have been producing a overt amount of green poop, pleas contact me regarding this issue." "We may be able to get you $$$ to compensate you for your discomfort."
