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.
They have had my business for years. Only place I go.

I got my tunes from Livernois this morning and I am very impressed! I loaded the 91 octane“soft shift” tune they offer: this is how the truck should come from the factory!
You immediately notice how much smoother the truck shifts and there’s no lag. This thing just keeps pulling effortlessly. I’m sure the regular tune with the more aggressive shifts makes the power more noticeable but the soft shift just has it glide through the gears and you’re doing 50 before you realize it. The power I lost from adding the 33” tires is more than replenished. This truck is just too much fun now with the iDrive throttle controller. If you’re thinking about getting a tune, just get the @Livernois Motorsports tune! Their customer service is top notch and so is their product.

The vinyl between your driver window and rear passenger window is just a sticker and is painted blue underneath. Both sides obviously.
I haven't decided if I wanna remove that or not. Gotta see some more pictures of it I guess. I don't want to regret that one.

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.
Yep that's what I did. Can use a heat gun, but a hair dryer on low would be much more forgiving. Use a plastic credit card to get it started if needed. I use 50/50 iso alcohol with water to clean the area afterwards. Then your choice of wax/sealant on top for protection.

Can always re purchase the vinyl decals and re install. Someone on one of the forums had a diagram of them all with pricing. Something like 20 bucks each side.

I made a huge change to my Ranger that will blow everyone's mind. I removed the factory antenna and installed the 2 inch Stubby Jr. If any wants me to post a lengthy and detailed "how to" I'll be glad to do so. ?

Man I need to slow things down with these mods. I'm going to go broke at this rate. ;)

I do think it looks better than the factory antenna though and gives me a little more clearance. I wouldn't have known this product was available though had I not seen some posts about it here. So thanks again to all that provide information on this forum.

Wow $20! I feel cheated.
I paid $93 for the ones from Stage 3.
How was the Installation?

Hi Folks,

Went out to the garage and opened up the tailgate with the anticipation of installing an Extang tailgate seal. I was referred to Tailgateseal.com and clicked on the 2019 Ranger. After reviewing the install instructions with all the tiny pieces Kludged together, I decided to abandon the project and just put this 10' length of tailgate seal up in the loft and forget the whole thing....Not well thought out in my opinion.

Best,

How was the Installation?
Totally! I was going to buy the one from Stage 3 but someone mentioned these from Walmart/Amazon and bought them. The install wasn’t bad at all. I took my time but in less than an hour they were wired up and mounted. I used the supplied angles and 3M automotive tape. I did add some spacers to get the base of each angle to bond to the radiator plastic duct/fairing. Wire them up in parallel and tap into the positive cable from the side marker. Ground the negative side and done.
