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

i don't have the pan so no. i would like to sometime, but i just don't have the aftermarket pan right now. i am also waiting for someone to make an aftermarket dip stick for the trans too, so i can check the fluid from the engine bay instead of having to lay underneath and get that little one that is supposed to be next to the exhaust

I dropped the front skid plate to trim a little off of it. I may have to do this more often.

Have you checked to see if the Mike's Build Shop dip stick would work? You still have the same engine and transmission as the older, new Rangers. So, it might work.

The drawer box and the drawer for the side with the slides got installed in the truck yesterday. I need to take a picture. That might wait until the other drawer is in place. That drawer still needs to be sanded and glued together and a cut out for the drawer pull needs chisled out as well.

So far, I'm happy with how it turned out.

The ‘24+ Rangers use the 10R60, the ‘19-23 used the 10R80. I don’t know all the differences in the 2 transmissions. (One glaringly obvious, yet somewhat sarcastic difference would be 20.)

I forgot about the transmission change. Thank you.

i actually talked to him and have been keeping in touch. he said he hasn't been able to test if it will work since the 24 and newer ranger has a 10r60 and his is built for the older 10r80 transmission. i message him every other month to ask if he has any updates.

Worked on my bed rack today. Finally finished, well happy with it for now. Plus got my tank sorted out for my water system.
Mounted the tank and changed out a fitting that was causing a leak on my pump box.
On the bed rack I had the CNC guy cut me some aluminum that I bent up and made some custom molle panels

I went in to the dealership today and had the oil changed, trans fluid/filter, and alignment.

The alignment because i felt like goodyear didnt do a good job last weekend after the leveling kit was installed. the front wheels just looked like the camber was wrong and it turns out the camber and toe were both wrong so they fixed that and since i came in for the trans stuff, i added the oil change since it was convenient.

So truck rides good and fluids are changed.

Only 465 bucks.

I'd take the results sheet over to Goodyear and ask for a refund.

Thats a good idea

I relocated the back seat to my basement and replaced it with a platform. This should help quite a bit trying to fit everything I need to bring for 2 people on our Vagabond Adventure.

Did you fasten it down or is it held in place by gravity?

Currently, gravity. If I move the seats back to their normal locations, it will be wedged in there. Then I’ll throw some totes full of supplies for the trip on top of it… it won’t go anywhere.

I replaced the winch line today. I bought it a few months back. Finally got around to changing it out. My old one was only 3 years old but show several signs of wear and tear. So a nice fresh one should last 3 or 4 more years. The sun is rough on the synthetic ropes.
