I'm spending money today...

Couch'd Tater...
The Ranger needs some attention...



Oil change, air and fuel filters, front brakes, all 4 shocks, belt...and off to the right you will see 4 tires...

Cannot complain, though...in 10 years this is only going to be the second set of tires and brakes...first time for the belt and shocks...
 
New shock day trumps new tire day, but both in one day is the best day EVAR!

Please tell me you put something decent like a KYB in there and not a Monroe or a Gabriel... pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase

Also went with General Grabber HTS60 tires, and all Motorcraft parts...
