Couldn't wait any longer. Less than 24 hours of ownership, and I had to de badge it. I'm not a fan of the bed side stickers. I know some guys are, but I'm going for less is more on this. Bed stickers, dealer sticker, and ecoboost logo gone. To my surprise, and delight, the front license plate bracket came off easy and didn't leave bumper holes (Pa doesn't require front plates). Finally a design that makes sense and isn't drilled into the bumper. Waiting for my points to drop so I can get some mud guards I think. I spent a couple hours searching side steps / nerf bars/ whatever for the Mrs. Having a hard time finding a stand out pair. Kinda looking for something minimal and sleek. Recommendations always welcome. The more I look at it, the more I want a level, wheels and tires. I better hold off on that one for a bit though for the longevity of my marriage.

The vinyl between your driver window and rear passenger window is just a sticker and is painted blue underneath. Both sides obviously.

Did you use any special method to remove the bed side stickers? I am not found of them either and was thinking of removing mine.

I also installed Cover King seat covers, in neoprene. A long delay because they were in Cal and closed for the covid. Also a little expensive, but good protection. Not a hard install, the video I found was not a Ranger, I winged it. They fit tighter than the expert got in the video! But when I was done, found I had forgot the mesh pads that go under the seats! At least I assume that's what they are? Was not on the video, and I'm not taking them off to do over...also don't know what the heck one Michael Jackson glove, and the safety glasses they included are for?. but the plastic tuck-spoon tool was handy.
Also painted my toe-nails...err...tow-hooks?

There was a Ranger video on the CoverKing site at the bottom of the purchase page. I also forgot the mesh on the first seat. Just unhooked the bottom part of the cover and installed. Definitely tighter than appears on video. I love mine. Looks like factory leather. Price went up quite a bit since I ordered mine. Were $199, last I looked they're $263.

#LightingBlue, what did you use to mount the cross bars? I have the GatorTrax... looks similar to yours....

Just use a hair dryer and some patience (peel 'em slowly) and they'll come right off. Or let it sit in the hot sun for a few hours - has the same affect.

Drive to a southern state, park it outside and around noon it should peel off real easy (or use a hair dryer to gently heat sticker)

On the highway to my sister’s house yesterday, I saw this: Mitsubishi crew cab pickup. It’s the first one I have seen here.

I had an 85 for many years but it’s been sold a long time ago. I saw some of those in New Zealand when I was there last year. Are they now being sold in the US?

Post 1 and 24 of our build thread will have the exact manufacturer for the bars, cover and everything else we got for the various things we can mount. Plus additional pics and what not.

Don't want to spam this thread with a bunch of duplicate info :)

SCAB build, Seattle WA

Took mine in for a patch at discount tire had a tiny nail in it. In and out in under 30 minutes w/o appointment and wasn't given a bill. Will never go anyplace else for tire service/replacement with service like that.
