What did you do to your Ex/Mounty/RBV today?

*Joe Dirt* · 07-22-2011, 08:07 PM

I got this idea from another forum, where they have a single thread (now massive) where everyone can post up what they did to their vehicle recently, when it probably isn't big enough to start up a new thread for, or for a major writeup. It was kind of fun to see what people work on, and when.

They have everything from washing their rigs, tires, oil changes, detailing, light mods, anything that says you didn't ignore your vehicle today...

I'll post up- I was sick of the sun, so I tinted the front windows today.

What did you do?

*DB_1* · 07-22-2011, 09:08 PM

I gave mine a dirty look as I passed by it to put the trash can away

*gmanpaint* · 07-22-2011, 09:29 PM

I kicked the 94 in passing. Stupid trans!

**Tbars4** · 07-22-2011, 09:47 PM

..I sure hope it rains sometime soon..

Pay airfare and I'll wash them...

**Tbars4** · 07-22-2011, 09:57 PM

...Lol...I knew that would get to you...

...That's the reason I didn't mention the mud covering the inside and dirt oozing out of every nook and cranny, But I did clean the inside back in '07...

*Joe Dirt* · 07-22-2011, 10:01 PM

bi-decade cleanings are completely reasonable...

wrigley_1285 · 07-22-2011, 11:06 PM

i put a d-ring in place of the ball hitch on my bumper the other day

wrigley_1285 · 07-22-2011, 11:07 PM

i also haven't cleaned my truck in over 2 years lol

*vroomzoomboom* · 07-23-2011, 12:17 AM

lets see. drove evil, drove 007 (07 ranger level 2), put seat belts into a 97 that i have and will be selling, and sold a 93 ranger that i have. in other words, did something to the entire fleet.

*blueka* · 07-23-2011, 12:58 AM

Took Pickle to the muffler shop on a trailer.. then parked her in the driveway for the first time...

Tifoez & Lavinia · 07-23-2011, 01:28 AM

Work'd on snot.. ('95 X) took her drivers side apart, working on an sas.. I'm throwin in a d30 (just to mock up, and let my wife work up to something more stout..). Some 35's (yes i know about the easy breakage, once again.. to help her learn on the mock up.. go serious later).

This will be moved to its own sas thread, but this is what we did today..

T & L

*Joe Dirt* · 07-23-2011, 02:42 PM

Nice!

wrigley_1285 · 07-23-2011, 04:01 PM

wow i almost completely forgot about the skid plate that i put on a couple weeks ago. its not finished but its on the truck for now.

*gmanpaint* · 07-23-2011, 05:08 PM

Didn't do to much today....just removed the transmission and cleaned it up real good for a rebuild.

**Turdle** · 07-23-2011, 05:13 PM

Good job Gregg.

I moved mine to the shade.

*Brian1* · 07-23-2011, 08:00 PM

Took my fuel pump out to bend the rod...now my gas guage reads right! Also siliconed my windshield again, hopefully that stops the leaks.

*Joe Dirt* · 07-23-2011, 08:18 PM

Prepped the rockers for POR-15 since I have them off. Figured I might as well add an extra layer of protection since the covers were puled anyhow...

I also epically failed at measuring a steering wheel...

*Joe Dirt* · 07-26-2011, 08:37 PM

Prepped rocker seams again with the Metal Finish acid from POR-15, gettin' ready for the silver goodness...

*Joe Dirt* · 07-27-2011, 08:49 PM

Painted the rocker seams and the 2 rear door seams with POR-15 today, swapped all of my front directional bulbs.
