I put on one rubber strip on the passenger door sill replacing my plastic one that said RANGER because it was slippery during the winter... I couldn't afford another one at the time haha... So sad cause it was only 9 bucks.

I changed the oil "Mobil 1 full syn and filter", Seafoamed, cleaned my K&N filter, and fixed my center console.

It was a productive day.
