I unbolted that cool rack and put it in the garage. My son said it makes a ton of noise when he has to take the truck out of town and since he using it as a daily for now.

Its super easy to remove and install though

My credo
the grey-t escape
Went to my daughters and back, 75 mile round trip. Fixed the ductwork under her house. Ordered some adapters for it so I can run the hhr’s winter tires rather than order new 16” 5x4-1/2 rims then pay for mounting/balancing. Will save about $200 easily this way, sure it will be ugly but better than putting my m/t classic 2’s through the winter salt bath. Tires on those rims are a little smaller than the original 225/70/14’s. Hopefully the thickness of the adapter makes up most of the positive offset ofthe stock steel gm rims. Should know soon. First gas mileage since cap back on was 22, was 24 last week but usually is 21. Gas mileage about to be irrelevant anyways with winter blend fuel just around the corner. Once my tire size changes with these other wheels speedometer will be off 5 mph @55. Im just going to use my old tom tom gps to know my speed then.

2022 season stats for the Ranger - 29 passes, 3 for 3 in first round wins on Sunday, Best reaction time .000, best 60 foot 1.654, best ET 7.292 and best MPH 95.56. Fought wheel hop and traction issues all summer and we were just starting to get a handle on it when the season ended. Lots on the "to do" list for 2023.......

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
Nothing really… but I did talk to my salesman. I’m going to the dealership tomorrow to discuss a new Ranger Tremor.

I sanded a bunch of old paint and primer overspray off the inside of the box on my stepside truck, getting ready to spray bedliner soon.

Hopefully they open up orders for the 2023 Maverick soon, I may see about ordering either an FX4 or Tremor.

Crossed threads are tight threads.
I started a thread for ideas/suggestions of what I should and shouldn't do to it. Might even share pics of my girl.

They opened last week. Hurry, there’s talk of them closing this week because of higher than expected orders.

If Polaris was giving away free machines, I’d probably choose to pay MSRP on a Yamaha instead.

I don't doubt it, I can't even test drive a 2022 unless I put a deposit down on one and wait 6 months for it to come in. Really on the fence. I want one and I need a new truck but the "supply & demand" games are pissing me off.
