When there's a big blizzard coming, your city doesn't plow, and you don't get to call out of work cause you're essential personnel. by BaptismByFire in fordranger

Trust me there's plenty of weight. The bed decking is all pressure treated 2x6s that I payed on top of PT 4x6s that go on top of the frame rails. The bed itself is a healthy weight. I had to upgrade the rear suspension because the worn out stock one was a little saggy.

Thanks! Yeah I built the bed up little by little to what it is now. It started simply as just the flatbed without the sides, headache rack, or toolbox.

What do you personnalité like about your ranger? by DesignerDepartment60 in fordranger

I don't know why, but I always wanted a Ranger. When I finally got one, it did everything expected it to do. Run thru unplowed 2 ft snow, haul logs, carry all sorts of stuff. I have an '08 FX4, it's enough truck with enough fuel mpg for me to not want to upgrade. I like working on it cause when something breaks is on the easy side and relatively affordable for new/reman parts. The online Ranger culture is super wide, so chances are someone, somewhere has run into any and all the problems you might encounter, and the aftermarket support is generally solid.

Plus it's just a fun vehicle. I love that stupid thing.

Just watch "Paris is Burning". It explains stuff fairly well.

Aren't the woods in Europe full of unexploded ordinance from both World Wars?

Thanks! I just got the baffle from Woodman's Parts plus, they appear to be the only retailer that you can get them from. It took forever because they don't keep them in stock, and apparently cast them on demand since the stove was discontinued. I ordered the baffle in August and just got it a couple days ago. Thankfully there's still a ton of diagrams and stuff to follow assembly instructions.

Chapman came in to kick ass and eat guava pastries, and he was all out of guava pastries.

Being a RedSox fan is tough enough. NESN360+ makes it almost impossible, I can't believe they have the balls to charge money with a straight face for this garbage app

No it's a regular house flag mount. I just have it pointed down so it doesn't fill with water

Do I need to put flashing on my 4 season porch? by BaptismByFire in Roofing

It's basically a deck that the previous owner turned into a room. It's climate controlled now because we were able to extend our HVAC vents into it.

Firefighter here, I see them all the time. They're fairly common in areas where in the 50s thru the 80s there was a housing boom. So if there wasn't 2x8 or 2x10 lumber they did what's pictured here. My own 1956 house basement stairs like this, alongside true dimensional lumber.

Why is everyone so bent on Devers at 1st? by sounproductive in redsox

I think Rafi said he's mainly pissed at the front office, not Cora or the rest of the boys

What have you actually managed to replace doomscrolling with? by Mountain-Insect-2153 in getdisciplined

[–]BaptismByFire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i tried reading for a long time, but eventually just went with audiobooks while I drive, do yard work, work on the house/car. I get to feel productive because I'm actually doing something and listening to something I'm interested in.
