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

[snoranger]

I installed new OEM style headlights in my ‘00. older ones were 20 years old. Now I just have to aim them.

Why aim them?!?! 80% of the cars on the road don’t have the headlights aimed anywhere near close to correct.

That is very true! SC doesn’t do inspections anymore.

or just mount a mini light bar, no need to aim, great for backroads after dark

Also great for blinding people as your come around a turn or over a hill.

Finally did some stuff to the Ranger instead of just driving it a bunch. Drained and refilled coolant (been a loooonnnng time). Scraped and painted (Rustoleum Rust Converter) frame rails and anything else I could get to.

Finished up my frame/ suspension rust repair, scraped & cleaned the frame then hosed on some rust-o-ilium heavy duty red primer and some cheap undercoating (all I could find around here) New muffler and tail pipe, then got the bed back on along with the tailgate, bed liner and tool box. Hauled my trash away, much better in the turns and quieter as well, now for some Slaw-Dogs 'cause I skipped lunch.

Applied the Ford approved catalytic converter heat shield rattle fix, two hose clamps around the cat , also changed the oil for the first time in like 8k miles...

Nice, looks like it could withstand a direct hit from a flying chowdah can!

Only 6 cans, but it'll have to do.

I could probably squeeze a few more cans in if I use the condensed stuff, but I have my standards...

 

[Dirtman]

Freaking hell.... that paint wasn't dry and now I got paint all over my chowdah just to take that picture!

 

[97RangerXLT]

you should probably leave some room for a few spoons and napkins.. unless you just chug the can and wipe your mouth on your shirt, then the extra space is not necessary...

Loaded up the dog and went for a ride in it. Beautiful December day here today. Sunny, mid 40's. Went out to the Jocassee Gorges area. Took horse pasture rd up as far as jumping off rock. Then came back via cane creek rd. All good forest rds. Easy to do in 2wd with good ground clearance.

Let's keep going!

I picked up my 31 spline 8.8 the other day also for the next project truck.
