He gave me motivation to do gap guards. From this thread

https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...=79542&page=30



Did it myself. Not with the weather guard stuff. I used home roofing stuff.


Also I am getting like 13 mpgs and I was wondering if it could be because it has bad plugs or something.

I have put 3000 miles in the last 2 months and before that it sat for a year. At first I was getting 16 miles a gallon at first then I putt larger tires on it and was getting 15 mpg. It is no lasting 10 miles a tank less everytime. 210 200 190 180 was today. Uhh I know that it is a truck but I think it should be shi**y millege but not this bad. It is due for a big tune up in about 200 miles.

 

haha ben just won't stop giving.. lmfao

 

Whats in the big tune up?
How many miles you have on the clock?

 

You didn't use tar paper did you?

 

Not a big one just everything I can think of. 170000

Lol. No I didnt. I cant think of the name of the thing I used I will think of it in a minute and will tell you.

 

gutter guard? lol looks like u can see through a little bit but it has a black tint aha

 

Oh ok I was about to say lol. That stuff wouldn't last long at all as gap guards.

 

is that a pic of the finished product? theres still quite a bit of a gap.

 

No they shinny stuff on the top is covered. Look harder.

 

Looks good, haha I just installed my gap guards today after like 2 months.. PITA drilling threw that bed lip.

 

I'm looking as hard as I can, and I still can see between the frame and bed.

 

I can't even understand what this is about...

 

When you do a body lift, you get a gap between your bed and frame that is visible in your wheel well. Most guys just get a rubber thing from Home Depot or Lowes, and cover that crap up.

This guy used roofing shakes, but I can't see them

 

roofing shakes?? There is no gap on top. ITs shinny.

 

are you saying that what appears to be a gap, is actually a reflection?

 

exactly.

 

thats because its not an evo, remember its a ranger forum..

 

Paul it is lookin good. If you want help on the tune up let me know. Seein as I work at a parts store I can get you some discounts. And I know Jake, Chuck and I will all be down to spend an afternoon tearing apart your truck

 

Let me know. Thursdays and Fridays are best for me, and I'm game to get it done
