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


Greasy boobies?
 
Your truck has grease fittings? :icon_confused:

Everywhere I installed a new suspension component that could get one. The u-joints will too when they get replaced. Some of them are starting to complain.
 
Tried out FORscan with OBD link ex on ranger for first time, didn't really do anything just checked it out.

I wanted to do the same but its hard to even find aftermarket parts for my truck with grease fittings. I have greaseable u-joints to put on at some point, but ball joints and tie rods that I've replaced are alas, still without fittings. I have a needle fitting for my grease gun and occasionally pump grease into the boots but thats the best I can do.
 
Spa day for the Ranger. Good wash/wax/detail. After reading posts, lubed hood latch and cable. :icon_thumby: Used some teflon based Super Lube I had on hand.
Also winterized our motor home, getting it ready for winter. Had to drain and blow out water lines and fill with rv antifreeze. StaBil into gas tank and generator fuel lines/carb.

I seem to remember there being some available when I worked on the ‘98s suspension. That was a number of years ago though. So, lack of sales might have curbed that option for RWD Rangers.
 
Ordered parts for it and other vehicles from Rockauto. Discount code not working cause it expired on 1 October.

To lazy to cancel order and I do need the parts.

Ive never been able to get the discount code to work, even when it was current.
 
Most times I can but this last time it didn’t take. I don’t know why.
 
Yesterday I partially mounted the new battery tray so I could drive the truck. Than today i went and bought her some new shoes, kinda broke the budget and wont be able to afford much else for awhile but totally worth it. Lt 235-75-15 Bf Goodrich all terrain ta ko2. Dont hate on the overspray not keeping these panels, and doors for long I have much nicer ones over got to strip and paint.

Fixed the tach and put the dash back together and topped off the tank so I have a backup as my F-150 hasn’t been behaving.
 
Took new pictures of it, which I haven't done in years. Been working on a hood project, which is nearing completion. Had an old hood scoop which used to be on my Mustang, didn't like it holding up the wall. SO I found a way to mount it on the Rangers hood and be somewhat functional with a bunch of 1.25 holes drilled in the hood under the scoop. Then, using the ranger as a guinea pig for a later Mustang project, I cut two large slots in the hood just inside ethe style line, and mounted Mustang hood vents. It's a steel hood and was starting to rust due to it's original black color fading, so I sanded it and repainted it. Didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but it's still better than it was previously. On another calm day, I'll attempt to make it look a little better.

In the near future, maybe this weekend, will be drilling four 1.25 holes in the hood over the cai filter, then installing two small scoops over those holes. They'll be in between the style line and the fender, about four inches back from the rear of the hood bra.
I like the hood vents. :icon_thumby:
 
Inspected and lubed the brakes and rotated the tires on the 2011.
