What did you do to your 2019 and up Ranger today?

[sgtsandman]

It's the 6.5x10. I was looking at the 8x10. But my roof rack is only 55" long. So I didn't want that much overhang. With your cap you could go 8ft and mount it on the cap. My future plans are to have an awning room before spring so I don't have to haul a tent anymore as well. Be nice to free up some space in the bed.

I hadn't considered mounting on both racks. I was thinking of a 270 and a fold up shower as a bathroom stall on the opposite side for Jessica. Then there is the dynamic weight thing on the trails to consider. I may end up just doing the shower stall and run with the slumber jack awning I already have. It depends on money, time, and if the rack can handle an RTT and an awning.

Smoked side marker lights I got for Christmas. They blend in with the flares much better.

Changed the oil and filter in my cramped unheated garage for the first time since my knee replacement in October. Didn't take as long as I was expecting, it didn't hurt, and I didn't spill any oil.

I pretty much got it figured out where to have the catch pan and it isn't where the funnel thing comes out along the frame. It's probably because I use ramps. The oil tends to run along the frame bit before it drips/runs down.

I use ramps too. Basically I learned to put the drain pan inside the ramp and slightly behind the tire.

Gearing up for the sub-zero temps coming this week. Also washed it and got it fairly clean because when it’s this cold everything stays dry. I cut a hole in the cardboard flap where the hood latch is.
A bottle of dry gas in the Ranger and the wife's Pacifica and topped off the fuel.

After the first full day in sub-zero temps, the temp gauge remained normal but it got there faster.

Went to my bud's tire shop and had the tires rotated.
My new knee is doing well but isn't up for crawling around on the ground in the cold yet.

We have been driving the new ranger everywhere. The wife and i really like the new truck. Even more then her 19 wrangler, which is pretty tough to beat. This thing rides like that 18 or 19 raptor we test drove prior to the buying the wrangler. Its just so smooth and absorbs bumps nicely

The red step 04 ranger is for going to and from work and will alos become an autocross truck in a few months. The engine isnt particularly powerful or fast but ir should still be fun since the 04 is lowered and will have those duff traction bars and wide tires.

That sounds like a good deal if they are any good.

Yeah at that price I thinking of ordering a set. Then I can put the half inch spacer under my coil buckets on the front struts and get the full 3 inches. The front dif drop is about 149 from Peak. Which aint bad if it puts my CVs at too much angle. I wanted to do shocks and struts but I think I'm gonna have to put that off till it's nessary instead of just wanting haha.

I might know a guy selling some Tremor struts and shocks if he ever decides to get the 2.5” remote reservoirs I’ve (I mean he’s) been looking at.
