The "What did you do to your Ranger today" thread
4 Attachment(s)
This thread is for the little things that we Ranger guys tend to do on a daily basis. If it's detailing the truck, painting some faded black trim, fixing some scratches, changing headlights, ordering parts, whatever, post up!
As for me; Today I got some notched upper control arm bolts for my camber plates, so I can now do an alignment on my truck. I replaced the 70a relay I blew out on my Taurus fan, with another from the junkyard. (put 4 of them in my pocket, muhaha). I swapped out a 30a rated relay on my off-road lights to a 40a rated one. (again, junkyard, 5 finger discount) And I wetsanded my niteshaded lights with 800 grit, and polished them using my new mini powerball. That little ball can make someone look like they know what they're doing lol Oh, I also went by four wheel parts and got my Hi-Lift mounts coming. So i can mount the hi-lift to the front of my tool box. Got them for $25, they were $35 online, price match ftw!! They were lookin' rough these days!

Did the chain break, or just make noise/sloppy?

Got my hitch on and fixed the abs sensor that was on.

I took off my bedrails and cleaned up my bed hoping I would get my tonneau cover today.
