What did you do to your Ranger today?

[SubVet]

Phil, there's also the letters by Tufskinz. I put these on my grille and love the look.

I have the vinyl reflective rear letters. I may go for the black reflecting ABS letters.

Hi Phil,

Were these the ones you're looking for? Someone else posted theirs a while back with the white ABS front grille lettering and I saved the link.

Hi Dave,

I think these are what I am looking for. Not sure what style I need though.... S or T...

Hi Dave,

Somewhat confusing, but . . . the T7 appears to refer to the model number, as the T8 refers to the Wildtrak. Ergo, your choice is S for the 2012 thru 2018 Rangers (T7) or L for the Wildtrak (T8). I think. Maybe. Now, back to chrome letters for the dash. Anyone??

Even better,

I have the vinyl reflective rear letters. I may go for the black reflecting ABS letters.

I didn't like the idea of messing up vinyl letters - the decals I put on the hood and fender made me rethink the grille and tailgate. BDTrims has some nice options too (at least for the tailgate). Just wish they would make them for the dash.

Hi Phil,

Sorry I was looking through my saved folder to find the original post which I finally did. Looks like Bryan hooked you up with the Tufskinz which I'm sure are better quality than these are. The original post was here but it still doesn't say which ones he ordered but if anyone wants them you could always message Ron.

Couple things today,
1. Washed the truck and used Bead Maker on the HPR for the first time. Thanks to all who recommended this here. I've been a Meguiars guy for a long time. We'll see how this stuff lasts. Super easy.
2. Got a Gator tri-fold hard cover direct from Gator and installed it. Went on OK and I like it better than the soft cover I was looking at. Also liked it better than the $1000 covers I saw on the web. Maybe I'll have to make a mini-gator for my HPR Hot Wheel now?
3. I'm not a big spender and wanted to get rid of the ugly exhaust pipe but didn't want to spend $$ so I just used satin black and it seems to be ok, once the hot paint smell wears off

To do list:
1. keep going thru the 5G Forums, there is way too much info to absorb! I guess you have to get used to it, and I really should have the t-i-m-e now that I'm retired, but I just can't sit here all day
2. Find a Ranger 5G.com sticker for the back window.
3. Find acceptable stickers for the dash … and tailgate (maybe).
4. Swap out my XLT grill for the Lariat grill I got on this forum. It has a few broken clips, though. I knew that when I bought it but thought the Lariat grill center would swap out, using the tabs from my XLT grill, but that's now how they are made. The titanium Ranger outer trim is just a shell overlay for the grill frame. So I hope when I remove my XLT grill, the Lariat will fasten securely. (just can't stand the XLT grill, but really like the Lariat) I painted the big-as# Ford oval for the grill with satin black and titanium Krylon, with clear on top. Way too much chrome on it.
5. Look at painting the big-as# Ford oval on the tailgate to match the front.

After UPS lost it for the past 9 days and it found its way to New Jersey instead of Michigan, my Draw-Tite hitch finally showed up out of the blue. Took about 10 minutes to get it installed. Now its time to start going through the trailer brake thread and making sense of all that.

You can the Ranger5G sticker here along with the dash and tailgate if you want vinyl ones.

If you're looking for the raised ABS tailgate letters I bought mine here on eBay.

Since you're not a big spender be careful doing #1 on your "To Do List" as you'll be buying stuff you weren't planning on. lol


I have the ABS tailgate letters and like them better than the vinyl ones. They're also a lot easier to install, should take 10 minutes as you just peel and stick.

Ordered some window AVS low profile window visors. Truck gets steamy/Smokey on the way to the mountains. Want to keep air flowing but not so much and minimize noise. Stage3 order today

 

[Dokkenmire]

Finally gave up and got a tuner after telling myself I didn't "need" one. Um, yeah, it makes a difference. I'm using the preprogrammed 91 octane tune and it's impressive.

Had my RC2.5 levelling kit installed today.

It looks like a new truck.

Immediate comparison makes it feel like it's leaning back, though.

Got any before and after pics?
I hope to install my Ford Ranger Lifts 2.5 " front spacers on my 2020 S/Cab today or tomorrow.

Installed bullet antenna from CravenSpeed. Didn't notice any reception probs yet but need to ride around the mountains a bit.... Perfect fit, no adapter needed. Keeping orig in truck just in case...
