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


You know what they say....

Looks weird clean too... :ROFLMAO:

It actually has already starting growing dirt, it has a fine layer going from just a mile of my gravel road in 2nd gear.
 
Washed my '97 for I think the second time? It was due, it's been a dusty summer...
 
I was getting reduced fan speed in my ‘87, so I pulled the filter, airbox, fan, and the blower resistor to vacuum the leaves out of the fan box and evap. The filter housing reeked from the mothball bag I’d taped in there, but there was mouse nesting in there anyway. I guess mice don't mind mothballs?

No mice generally don't give a crap about your smelly balls. I put them all over my boat when I first got it but it would be full of mice every winter anyway. First trip of the year always ends in a giant mouse ritual suicide as they all jump out of the bilge and drown...
 
I put hardware cloth where the intake enters the filter box, but I guess they’ll nest furthur out and clog the narrow part of the intake.

Peppermint essential oil will keep mice away from wherever you put it. Might as well be mustard gas for the little furry shtheads.
 
How are they getting in? Put some wire mesh on wherever the intake is? As far as I know the intake is at the base of the windshield.
 
Mice are jerks, I'm pretty sure that's why my '00 Explorer has some electrical issues that it didn't use to have... haven't taken the time to disassemble the dash to figure it out, it'd be nice if the cruise control worked again though... and I'm not sure what's going on with the check gauges light and why the center console thing says I need gas when it's at 1/2 tank now instead of when I actually do like it did before...

I got a cat to help stop the mice, I'm sure he helps but he's a jerk too... last night he brought a live mouse/vole in the house but I yelled at him when he was right inside the door, rodent ran out the door and he went after it so I locked him out :). In the last 2 weekends I've been working on the gophers in the back of the property (with a 20 ga shotgun...), I know for sure I got 4, one went too far back in it's hole for me to be sure, but I got two voles while I was out there and wasn't seeing anything else... I know where there's 2 voles there's 5000, but I at least feel better doing something :)

I need to put up the raptor pole I have planned... there's red tailed hawks all over the place...
