2021 Ford Ranger FX4 TRS-3 Project Build

Take a chisel and mark a line on the nut and on the pinion gear that line up with each other. Count the threads sticking out of the nut at that spot. Disassemble, install new seal, reassemble and tighten just a tiny bit past where your marks line up. Count the threads again and make sure you have the same amount showing.

That's how I have done it and so far it hasn't bit me. Fortunately haven't had many pinion seals leak though. Usually it's axle seals, I'd almost rather fix a leak at the pinion than deal with brakes that are full of gear lube.

After driving the Jag for over 2-weeks, it was nice to get back in the Ranger. The Jag sits low which makes the Ranger feel tall when you get in it. I missed that feeling that you can just run shit over if you need to.

I headed out for some dinner, and then did some donuts in the Ranger.

Then went and saw 'Disclosure Day'.

Afterwards I drove past this courthouse and just had to stop and take a couple pics:

What did you think of disclosure day? "On paper" it sounds like it would be a pretty awesome movie but I've heard it's kinda.... Meh.

Initial reaction would be to say it's a 6/10. I expected more from Spielberg. There's a device used throughout the movie that I don't think is ever explained. There's actually a few things that don't quite make sense such as how do the 'good guy' behind all of this know what he knows? There's a point at the very end where I felt that they went to far. It's a good movie, but seems like it came from a lesser person than Spielberg.
