Mines not a ranger, but i dropped it off at the dealership for new brakes all the way around, and wheel/tire balance and alignment.

I went to drive around behind my shop only to get stuck in the wet grass! lol. Mud chunks on the hood and roof and toolbox and shiz. lol. Clicked her in to 4, then proceeded to drive to the shop to load up my new-to-me tires.

Then went to get them mounted and balanced and installed on the truck. Now I've finally got some 'safe' tread! lol.

Drove to work (Rec Center/Intramural staff here at school) to get equipment bags for softball, then drove across the field in the middle of campus at peak hour in my non-campus-official truck and dropped the bags off at the softball field. Then after work I went to get iced tea from Turkey Hill. Now she's in the parking lot in her usual place all cozy warm, between my one roomates '96 lifted Cherokee and my other roomates '02 A6 Avant.

Drove the truck in the rain today back to college after I spent the weekend washing it and polishing the chrome on it.
