I used to do my own, then I got smart. Had my very own Sicilian crew, always a top notch job. Never asked if they knew Jimmy Hoffa.

A comfy chair and a couple/few frosty adult beverages while you watch it cure should ease that pain. I hope the 150 enjoys her new bed. : )

The bed was there already, had it made a couple years ago. It's just the path leading up to it that sucked. Had to wash my truck every damn day and lately it's been raining almost non stop. This weekend was perfect to take care of it once and for all. I had laid marble chips and that helped but not a lot.





Bonus side effect, less grass to mow. If I could afford it I'd have the whole damn yard concreted and paint it green.

It'sa concretea huh? lol These guys are a little south of the border but did a great job on the carport a few years ago so I called them back for this job and they haven't let me down at all cept one of them needs to look at their Suburban, stained the **** out of my old driveway where he parked. I was going to pressure wash it anyway but not kewl at all and I plan to mention to him so he don't break down on the side of the road.

Anyone else would probably freak out about it.

Installed one of these in the bed.
Works great. Open the tailgate and it turns on.
Helps since I have a bed cover

Them things go for $$$$ here in the south. I just wanted a small truck to go to hardware store and back- Want mega bucks with mega miles on them for Rangers and other small size trucks. Even newer models with over 100K and just "work trucks" (basics) asking over 20K. I was fortunate to buy mine below blue book- (2010 Lariat).
Saw an ad last month on "Nextdoor App", and someone had a Ranger bought in from CO with just a bit of rust on rear fender panel. I don't think he know asking price down here as he wasn't asking much- didn't even get a chance to respond and it sold he said within 15 minutes..

Nice truck- I like the older models. Still more metal vice plastic And no rust in WI. Good- Growing up in the Adirondacks, rust buckets were common! Salt does a number on the vehicles

She got a little love in the shock department. I can't believe I waited so long to buy these, so worth it! All that bed hop is gone, and they only cost $68 each on Amazon. It could just be me being excited, but I feel like the truck rides better now? The FX4 shocks were crap. A two year old could compress them.
