What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Manny]

Installed Fender Vents, they are Ford parts but bought them through Rogue-Offroad, they had the best price. Also painted the wire mesh red and the inside of the fender well to match other accents in my build. I also removed the stock running boards, waiting to purchase and install the AMP E-boards.

That fender vent accent is sick. Nice work!

Quick pics of my meager progress today...

I will have an issue with the hitch that's a little disappointing. It sits too far under the bumper and I will have to get another ball extension to work with it. I will probably grab a mild drop extension to help level the trailer however, so all is not bad.

Hey Glocker,

Really like what you did with the bed divider. Would you mind giving me some dimensions on your build. I would love to copy yours exactly. I'm big on esthetics and yours looks great! Thanks for your help. Just picked up my '19 Ranger on Friday so obviously its time for mods.

Which cover did you get?

It's the Gator soft top. Picked it up locally. It's a super simple installation and great for keeping things mostly out of the weather but definitely not even remotely secure. haha. It'll work until I decided on which hard cover I want to get.

I just found out yesterday that my bikes don't fit in the back with the cover folded up so now I'm extra anxious to get my hitch and platform rack.

@VegasP11 Looks nice. How thick is it ?

One all my F 150's I never had a cover on them but I've had a cover now on both my Tacoma and my Ranger and really like them. How do you like the sliders? I really wanted to get those but mine already had the factory steps on them (dealer ordered) and they were only going to credit me $200.00 so I just kept them on for now.

Honestly, for both my gf and I they're not really used as steps. We're both kind of tall so it's a 50/50 or less chance that we'll use them as steps as they're pretty high and close to the door edge anyway. They definitely work for reaching up onto the roof though! I REALLY like the way they look (design and textured finish) and I mostly got them for the rocker panel protection anyway.

Sure thing. I'll grab the measurements later on today. Do you have the drop-in bedliner in your truck?

Yep, drop in liner. It's the OEM one but it looks exactly like yours. Thanks!

I sprayed my exhaust with some black Plastidip that was leftover from another job. I just did the tip after the resonator. Hopefully the mud flaps will protect it from flying debris.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'm no engineer. I'm not a wood worker. I just kind of sit down and figure stuff out, but that doesn't necessarily mean I did it right or can explain it all that brilliantly!

I used that exact product on two vehicles just yesterday. And wouldn't you know it, I drove one of them to work today and it rained on the way to work. Oh well, should clean up a like easier now.

looks good! How long do you think the Plastidip will last? What made you choose that over high heat paint?

He said he had it left over from another project. I'm wondering how long my high heat paint will last as well. Much better than the stainless look from the rear either way for sure.
