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

[JohnnyO]

Got the roof, front end, and doors clay bar'd and waxed to get ready for Carlisle.

I installed some Rotpax style mounts. The setup I thought would work, and the description said would work with a 2 gallon and 3 gallon Rotopax fuel cans, didn't. I'm waiting on the four 2 gallon water cans to come in and test before I decide what I need to do from there. I may just need to get a different expansion mount.

Now that the MaxTrax recovery boards are in, I was able to setup the mounts for them and get them installed.

And, the solar water heater has been installed on the cab roof rack. I just need to find a longer hose or get an extension. Since the shower hose is about a foot too short. Otherwise, it holds air and water just fine with no leaks.

Went to go to work and the battery is dead. Wife leaves before me so I'm waiting on AAA.
OE battery is 5 years old so I knew it was on borrowed time and planned on getting a new one before winter anyway.

Where's the pics of it in a park looking awesome, showing all for sides and highlighting its features?

Added a start/stop eliminator. Works great, took like 20 mins to install with taking pics. Should be able to put an install tutorial up sometime today

Tomorrow when I get to Carlisle.
Packed my camping gear last night, finished a case at the office (luckily didn't get any more), drove to the crematory to pick up an urn, packed and shipped three urns, ordered two sets of death certificates, two Webex meetings on our new purchasing system, business networking group meeting after work, stop at Walmart for a can of propane and a bag of ice, get home and pack my food. This is why I look forward to going to Carlisle every year and living in my tent for four days and just looking at cars, smoking cigars, and drinking a few beers.

Bought a cheap $100 ladder rack off Amazon. Cut up some solar braces to modify it to fit over my soft topper. Got it all fabbed up and installed today.

I noticed that the tire crawled from your tailgate onto your to topper. Hopefully it decides to live there and doesn't keep going.

I don't know. I can't see over the dag gum hood anyways. That never crossed my mind.

Could put a carrier on the front bumper, as long as it doesn't interfere with engine cooling.

 

[Jim Oaks]

After all that work on the rear carrier.... LOL

He has a tent that attaches to the back, so now the tire is in the way. Poor tire probably feels sad, unwanted, and deflated.

I'm trying my best to include it on my daily travels haha

I'd put a tire cover on it though. Sun will bake it and crack the rubber.

It will only be up there on camping trips or when I need the bed space. Most it's life. It will ride inside the topper. Plus it will be on the front driver next tire rotation haha

Did pick up a basket off Marketplace for $30. Hopefully I can get it on today. Should look better than just sitting on some metal rails. I'll get some pictures later after installation
