What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Manny]

Where did you get the mounting plate?
What benefit does the plate provide that you wouldn’t get by using the tie down threaded holes for the included pack mount?

I designed and built my own plate and used the existing tie down holes and screws so i did not have to drill any new holes, i could not figure out how to mount the pack mount on the tie down holes

I think this looks awesome, which leveling kit did you go with?

Good call!
Bad quality but i was focused on the road lol ,
Windows down to hear, only at low speed but you can still get an idea
Windows up it’s silent because the cabin stays super quiet , my favorite thing about the truck so far

Thanks for sharing the video! The woosh is pretty fun little feature and at only 90 bucks i might just have to put on one my truck. looking online and seems like it just bolts on under the stock bypass.

FRL 3” level and 2” rear leaf installed,
LOVE the ride and suspension
Room for bigger tires eventually , but the stock 265/60/18 runs well

I like the lift with the stock tires and wheels, looks awesome.

I used the Worthington lift. I found it on here. I also replaced the stock 265 with285-70R17.

Made it work like a truck hauling material to a landfill. Classiest truck on the ramp dumping junk!

Hi Folks,

I used my Ranger to haul the 5 gallons of oil from this morning's oil change of my Cat C7 motor home to the recycling center.

Wife and I took a drive up to the valley.

This should be a Rubber seal that goes across the back. Over the tailgate. Here's what mine looks like. In order to make that seal work you have to close the tailgate before pushing the back cover down. Otherwise, the tailgate pushes the Rubber seal into the truck

Okay, yea, there is a rubber flap but it ends up underneath since they tell you to close the cover latches, then close the tailgate. Just as a side note, we lost the two weather seals that go on the rail end caps at the tailgate. TruXedo graciously send us replacements and we haven’t had any problems with rain leaking into the bed. I bought a rainproof tote to keep in the bed, just in case of leaks, but so far so good!

Mines that way to. It says to latch the cover first then close the tailgate. We don't get a lot of rain here but I've been through a few downpours and have not had the tailgate leak with it like this.

Seems like it would be more waterproof the opposite way I've been doing it. Now I don't know which way to go.
It is easier putting something in or taking out something from the cargo area and not having to unlatch the cover.

I had a Truxedo cover on my Tacoma and use to always close the tailgate and latch the cover and that truck I did run through car washes and it never leaked. I actually read the directions with this cover and even in the diagrams it shows to latch the cover first,then close the tailgate.

You're right it's much easier taking stuff in/out this way. If you look at the cover it overhangs the top of the tailgate some, than the tailgate itself puts pressure against the seal so there's no way any water is going to get through.

You have convinced me.
