Drove it and put gas in it. Cleaned the interior last night.

Not much. Just a good cleaning with some soap and water plus the index cards around the edge but that's really it.

I only bought it 3 weeks ago. Has 139k miles on it. Unsure of what maintenance was done it, besides oil changes (last one 10 months ago and 1,000 miles ago), fuel filter 10,000 miles ago in July of last year. (According to carfax) So, that being said, figured I'd freshen everything up. It's actually appears to be in really good shape, and has fairly low miles on it for being a 2001.

I started prepping the driver side to herculine it. Then I noticed the rocker panel is almost touching the door so I started trying to straighten it out. Well as I was beating it back down chunks of bondo started falling off. Thinking about cutting it out and replacing it now.
Did the passenger side the other day.

Re: What did you do to your ranger today thread III
Had a relay go bad and blow my brake turn lights in billings Montana. Lucky there was an autozone near by, so now my truck has an led spec relay and all led lights aside from the headlights and hid off road lights. Soon to be an all led truck.

You should swing through Leavenworth, WA while you're going through

Re: What did you do to your ranger today thread III
Cleaned the garbage out from behind the seats!
Put necessary stuff, bungee cords, ice scraper, unopened tow strap and other stuff
into a plastic tub in the bed of the truck, and removed what chewed up stuff remained.
Then threw a pile of cardboard in bed, and smaller metal stuff in cab for recycle.
And gassed it up at Sams yesterday, for $3.01/GAL.
Still running $3.06 - $3.15/ gal in town.

If you have a 3.0 motor, replace the cam sync.
