What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)


The vibration issue?
When you've worked on as many vehicles ( automobiles, heavy equipment, boats, submarines, industrial machines) as i have, you will understand. Until then, good luck with your "brave" attitude. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
 
It’s annoying when someone quotes you for no reason... isn’t it?
yes, it can be. 😆
No reason... just felt like being a little annoying.
I don't know, I rather enjoy it. Makes me feel smart and important.
@PetroleumJunkie412 thinks you’re annoying anyway. Might as well fit the part.

What's the best oil to run in a Ranger? Not sure what engine.
 
Well, not really something I did "to" the Ranger. More like something "for" the Ranger. I added fog lights to the Fun50 tow vehicle.

ordered a tach & inductive pickup through summit. “equuis” brand. Looks like a “sun” guage, maybe it is under a new name. Ive tried 2 diffrent tachs before that didnt work, was considering a tach for diesel application (uses the alternator) but thought why not a inductive pickup like timing lights & digital test tachs have? Guess I’ll see how it does, would be nice to see what rpm im running, esp since I run different tire sizes in winter vs summer.
 
So living in Plano, IL... we have a Plano Molding outlet store in town. They make all kinds of stuff but everyone knows the Plano plastic organizer boxes. I walk in and the place is loaded... and right in the door I find a pallet of these ammo boxes a couple hundred of them.... for $2.99.

Three of them fit perfectly where I want them... total no brainer.

Plano isn't real.

I always wondered if Plano boxes were made in Plano...
 
Interesting fact... besides Plano being real... It is also Smallville in the Superman movie.

My truck also got a new nick name... she was always Bird Dog 1... forever after today she is the MUTT. Those boxes were a sign... I swear.

I also figured out my lantern hook... a couple 7/16 nuts welded on work rather well.

Last thing I'm doing is expanded metal in the bottom tomorrow morning. I'm tired of working on it. It's getting painted.
