What did you do to your Ranger today?

[jeb134]

Took the beast off-road for the first time, had an absolute blast. In a sea of Jeeps, a lot of people have come up to me asking about the Ranger and it did not disappoint today!

Made it bring home a new workbench.

Cleaned up the RTT mounts so it looks a lot cleaner, is more secure with the higher quality brackets, and no more getting stabbed in the back by hanging bolts when I climb in the bed.

Before and after.

Where did you get your Raptor grille? I’ve looked around and can’t tell what will fit, and no too thrilled about buying from China.

Mine came directly from China through AliExpress. I don’t know if it’s listed there right now but it was only $106 and fits great.

How do you know that's the first R and not the last R?

Hi Mikchael

The R is attached to the A.... They are in pairs...not letter by letter... NG and the ER are paired... This whole thing was a joke when I photographed just the R and A for "what did you get in the mail today for your Ranger"... Here is the finished install after my eye surgery and I have my vision back...

Didn't do it to it yet, but pulled the trigger on Bushwacker 14099 TrailArmor rocker panel protection (this is for the crewcab).

I found a really good price for them on ebay (124.00 compared to what I was finding elsewhere 180.00 +):

The running boards I just ordered are 6.6 in wide. since my wife parks her CRV in the garage, I decided to replace the OEM boards with the TYGER BLADE. I also installed so paint matched Side moldings. I should be able to park anywhere without getting dinged. I used the wife's CRV as a guinea pig to see how much clearance I have before her door nails my painted parts.

Hehe that's a bit why I was wondering about the size. My own running boards from Dee Zee NXt boards are 6 inches wide, and seem to do the trick

Now, you'll have to do something nice for her. (PS - How's the eyes?)

Ordered the Stubby last night and it arrived (and was installed) today. Gotta love Amazon!

Hi Mikchael,

Yep...did something nice for her today....Bought new seat cushions for the outdoor patio that she has wanted for quite a while. She is very happy now.

Thanks for asking about the eyes. Last surgery was a success too and I currently do not need glasses and am now able to see 20/20 for the first time in my life...even my glasses could not correct me below 20/40. Only small problem is that I need reading glasses for the computer and for reading...Got about 8 pair placed as strategic locations, including the shop. Have never had vision so clear and crisp...simply amzing! I can even read street signs before I miss the turn!

Hi Phil,

Glad your eye surgery was a success. I've had readers for years now but just 2 years ago I got the ones that are for computers which filter out the blue light and they make a world of difference. They relieve the eye stain when you're on the computer,phone or tablet for long periods of time. You might want to check them out here on Amazon when you have time. Keep those new eyes crisp and clear.
