Gravity works sometimes, problem I have is my liner is plastic and so is my box so they like to slide around without anything.

Also, I have no place to put in a J bolt unless I remove/cut up the bed liner

I cut up notches in my bed liner to secure my toolbox

Whoever had put the toolbox on my truck out inserts in the bed rails for bolts. Worked real nice.

Shopping for new tires, and of course, Black Friday doesn't really help out. I'll see what tomorrow brings.

I put a new window switch on the driver's door.
The clips were broke on mine and it stuck up out of it's hole.
So every time I opened the door from the inside. The handle would push the driver's window switch and the window went down.
It was annoying.

I'm going tomorrow afternoon and look at these for my ranger. I believe they would look good on my truck. What do y'all think, would they?

might be the wrong bolt pattern. I've heard jeep changed to a different bolt pattern sometime in the late 2000's

So the shop told me my synchros are shot and that there may be more issues after that.... then they referred me to a transmission only shop that I'll go to tomorrow.

I have been locating parts for my 4x4 swap and was planning on rebuilding my trans to a 4x4 but now it's either pay the shop $1000 to quickly fix it and then do the swap in less than a year or buy a beater car. (Which means not seeing any snow this year with my truck)

Personally I'd do the 1000 cause snow days in a ranger are too fun!!
