What did you do to your Ranger today?

[BoC]

Installed Turbosmart BOV Kompact Dual Port
Anticipating some questions:
Bought at Stage3MotorSport
It took about 10 minutes to install
I already have the Borla Performance Cat-Back exhaust S-Type system installed
Yes i felt the difference right away, this combination of mods pushes you back on your seat

Next mod to finish this power improvement will be the Roush Cold Air Intake, delivery delays over @LevittownFordParts.com (these guys have the best prices, so i will keep waiting) and the AFE Intercooler Pipes (Bladrunner 3”) also delivery delays @Stage3Motorsports

Not sure if I will do the Ford Performance Tune, waiting on some more conversation about the improvements in these blogs.

BOV adds exactly 0 hp but it’s all about how it makes you feel. They do sound arguably sporty.

Every extra $100 spent adds about 20HP & 20LB/FT in your head, even if it's wheels/tires ?

The dual-port BOVs do sound great.

Installed the Baja Designs reverse lights

Installed center console tray, ordered door edge trim after I opened the door and hit my Hyundai, scratching the paint on door handle on my Elantra and chipping the paint on the door edge of my truck. Damn, those doors open wide. I wished they stopped about a foot before they do. My arms aren't long enough to hold onto the door the full opening width.

I bought 18’ of TrueLine Automobile door edge trim..it has an “L” shape to it.

I have the u channel chrome already coming, be interesting to see how these hold up. My other vehicles had the stainless steel formed one's but I could not find them at all anymore.

You want to try a door trim that looks good, strong and easy to install, try this.

That's what I just bought after banging my door edge into my Elantra

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?

Are the seat covers blk/charcoal? Working out ok?

Yeah, black/charcoal. Wish the charcoal was a little darker. They are great, tight, smooth...put one of the pads under the driver's seat, think I'll forget about the passenger side, doesn't seem like a difference. These are neoprene, they also have cheaper neosupreme?

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.

Looks great!
Very curious to learn more about the cluster swap!
Mine is an XL also,and that swap would really be nice.I’ve already added the 8” screen with the better sync set up.

Thanks in advance.

Finally put on my 3” level kit.
The crash bars were fun for sure lol.
Painted the calipers while it was apart as well.
New wheels and tires mounted.
New graphix added to bed.
Nice 12 hour day lol,but worth it.

I am guessing they are pretty good at water resistance? I sweat horribly lol! ANy info on the neosupreme?

Where did you acquire the 8" screen? I plan on putting some miles on this weekend so maybe by next weekend the millage will match and i will put in the XLT cluster upgrade from my tiny STX one. I have about 1,000 miles to drive. Gotta get 6,878 and they will match exactly.

They've only seen a wet swimming suit, no problems. My main concern is stain/dirt. And I have a bad habit of sitting in with something in my back pocket...screwdriver, etc so I'm afraid to poke a hole in one, not sure how robust neoprene is, it's not ballistic. I don't get into steel plants anymore, so not as much dirty greasy work clothes. No experience with neosupreme, always wanted Wet Okole's for my old Ranger, so I just wanted to splurge...heck this whole truck was a splurge for me - "Mr. Cheapster"??

I bought the whole set up from these guys.Spendy,but 100% plug and play factroy parts.Simple install,and gives you auto climate control as well.Love having apple car play.
