I broke out the sewing machine and made two attachment pads for my umbrella. Was driving me nuts having the umbrella sitting behind the rear seat headrests. Not the best quality stitching but it works. Attaches with heavy duty velcro. Had an old snare drum bag and got all the fabric and webbing straps for the project. I still have some material left so I plan to make like a flashlight bag or something like that.

New wheels and tires on for a few weeks now. Mines just an XL so I updated the instrument cluster to the XLT style with 4.2” screen. One of my favorite upgrades so far! I hated that tiny little crappy calculator looking screen.

Got my XLT speedo display in with the bigger middle screen. Now I just need to put 1,000 miles on my Ranger for the milage to match.

yeah, it sucks you cant take miles away on those clusters, only the lariat ones. you can add milesto the cluster through forscan though.

Is this plug and play or do you need forscan?
yes it is, the only reason you would need forscan is if it is equipped with things your truck does not have like parking assist, or lane assist or something like that. just turn those things off and you are good to go.

Not sure what that single sounds like, and I’m sure it’s nice. Though, I’m liking the throat and performance my dual provides.

First impression is a deeper although not loud or whiney exhaust note, surprising nice. Better is throttle and transmission shifting after take off...my technical term would be , "smoothly relaxed". But, I need to have more wheel time to make better evaluation.

The hellwig seems to have smoothed out the drive, but same caveat.:clock:

Took the bikes for a ride on the rack, to the canal. That was much easier than the 6 mile bike ride down and back. Then the Ranger brought us all home again. As a treat, swapped out the EcoBoost badges!

Replaced the clear door edge guard (was too lightweight & didn’t protect well) with heavier door edge trim...and finally installed the Putco lower bumper grill.
