Not today but this week at school I found out my a/c doesn't work because the evaporator has a leak so I guess it's time to do the air compressor mod. Also at work I found a BFG Mud Tire that has half tread left that I am going to use as my spare tire.

Tried to change my oil but instead blew 6 quarts of full synthetic all over my driveway. I guess the previous filter's gasket stuck on the oil filter arm mount, and so there was two gaskets on the new oil filter. The one blew out and then all my expensive oil ended up in a hot frothy mess about 3 feet in diameter beneath my truck.

Busy weekend for the Ranger:

Washed and waxed
Cleaned up my alloys from the winter. Need buffed with a powerball. Maybe wet sanded?
Fixed a rust spot by the driver door. Did a crappy job.
Took off my 06 mirrors and cleaned them up, didn't do a very good job modding them last summer
Broke the driver side glass in my 06 mirror when I dropped it putting mirror back on. $20
Discovered bubbling on the front driver fender by the mudflap area. Needs stripped and painted.
Need to re-strip and paint bottom tailgate lip again, rust is back. Maybe bed liner? Right now it's DSG and it didn't hold up well.
Still need a new bed, rusted out badly in the front, plus the bedside is starting to rust and bubble under fender flare on the drive side.
Changed oil to full synthetic from synblend, defiantly burning some oil between changes. Old stuff was dirtyyyyy, hopefully just the synblend cleaning out the engine :)
Drove all over today, Cleveland and back, then 20min away and back, plus around town. Used up half a tank total. That's like 150-200 miles.

Also was featured in the background of my Prom pictures. Took me and Mom to get her brand new custom ordered 2011 RS Camaro. Pics later when I steal it for a day!

Picked up a Pro-Tech Rack, used… for $100+ GAS and travel time of 5 hrs.

Haven’t got it on yet will need some TLC before hand.

Pic is a double mount just to see how it will look.
