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

[lil_Blue_Ford]

Well, hopefully I’ll get to work more on the Ranger sometime this week, but tomorrow is likely to be a rest day for me. Kinda anxious to put the clamps on the heater line and finish buttoning up the motor at least

while at a junkyard getting a wheel for the 2019 Edge I checked out some A pillar grab handles/trim for the 2000.
those are gray, I'm holding out for tan ones.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I found a good cab and frame for the F-150 at the junkyard by my ex-gf and worked out a preliminary deal and put some money down on it. I have a couple weeks to back out and get my money back, but I’m leaning towards going for it. It’s a 94 F-150, same color as mine originally was and I even spotted a factory sticker on the frame which usually doesn’t happen here in the rust belt. Interior isn’t the best and the frame is a 2wd, not sure how much trouble I’ll have making it a 4x4 frame, but if I have to I’ll straight axle it I guess.

It's three below out. Call me crazy. I washed my truck today, then drove it into my heated garage, melted the ice that had formed, and towel dried it.

And no, I did not wax it. Thank you.

I don't think my garage ever got as warm as 54 even with the heater on.

It's around 50-ish here. I'm replacing front wheel bearings and the broken hubs from last weekend. Beautiful cloudy day for driveway work.

It might be 54 in the hangar, maybe. We haven’t been able to get the heat fixed in years. The office is running about 63 right now. Same story.

When people try to tell you the military gets the best of everything, you now have an example to throw at them that, that isn’t the case.

Anything government is “brought to you by the lowest bidder”.

Yeah, the one that build this hangar and did a few other projects on base has been sued out of business for shoddy work. He should have stayed in government contracting where he could get away with it.

Finally ordered AAL’son Monday, they were delivered yesterday and installed today. Went with Superlift because they were so cheap. We’ll see how well they hold up. I also ordered bulk head fittings so I can install a power wire to the rear bumper to run a winch when I finally decide to buy it.

The military brass gets the best of everything. Fixed that for you.

Scrapped the ice and snow off the 2019.

What's the yard paying for ice and snow nowadays?

Frost bitten fingers and toes.
