jpd80 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) He’s a great tear down video of the new Ranger, at 5 min 40, you can see the outboard mounts for the rear shock absorbers (basically attachments to the top of the frame). Some have mentioned these as a major change to the frame but clearly, smart engineering achieved this with a minimum of fuss… This is about the 2.0 & 3.0 diesels (mods planned for the 3.0 with bigger turbo) but pretty interesting Edited August 12, 2022 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denotes rejection, unrequited advances. Summed up: the CBD is needed to relieve the angst over being passed over by a love interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when people come up with complicated meanings behind movie scenes and song lyrics only to find out the author just made something up because it was convenient or out of necessity with no thought whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know. The DMV clerk just pulled the next plate out of the drawer and handed it over when the truck was registered; pretty sure it isn't a vanity plate.

In Victoria (Australia) it’s called Department of Transport or DOT but yes, the plates are just issued like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
