What did you do to your Ranger today?

[CC_The_Aussie]

Installed the underseat lockable covers from Front Runner.

Instructions said 45 mins for installation but spent a good part of Saturday swearing over it as I think it was designed off the 2019 ranger and didn’t fit flat on my 2020 due to the tyre retrieval tool being in the way. So just a heads up to anyone who is wanting to get this - if you’ve got the 2020 ranger, you’ll have to do some trimming of the plastic! Need a longer screw for the one that is missing but that will be easy to do soon.

Before anyone asks, is this completely theft proof? No because of the Allen key screws are exposed but hopefully a good deterrent for the “gone in 60 seconds” type of opportunists. I love the look and quality of the steel too!

Made some brackets out of the remains of my crash bars so I could mount a 20” light bar in my bumper opening.Worked out perfect.

Nothing fancy,it’s a 4WDKing light off of amazon.
Added the lightforce center bezel with switches to keep it clean.

Happy with the how it all came together,now for night so I can check it out!

Always wanted jump seats

Didn't want mud flaps, but she spends a lot of time on gravel..

I heard this got me into the Cool Kids’ Club?

To be clear, though, I installed it for the horsepower.

I thought I read where there was a torque increase from installing these...

Okay Folks,

When are folks planing on changing their Tailgate damper fluid. Synthetic or Blend? And at what cyclic limit?

My damper is putting in a ton of work, these tailgates are not light. Definitely going full synthetic and changing it out every couple months.

Mine started leaking fluid last week. I used the old egg in the radiator trick. I'll keep yall posted.

I'm going with full synthetic.
My questions are where in Forescan can I change the cyclic limit and am I able to use my Ford Pass Points to have the fluid changed at the dealer?

Got my homemade exhaust fabbed, painted, and installed. Loving the sound. It's a lot mellower than I imagined it would be. Little growl on cold startup, no drone at all, deep sound I was looking for. I like it so much, I'm considering swapping them in the mustang in place of my mbrp's. Washed and waxed with some griot's 3 in 1. I'm liking that, too. Then off course it rains. Quick spraydown in the car wash and we're good as new.

Side note: I unhooked the battery when I was tack welding everything in place on the truck. Now my 1 touch window doesn't work. It goes down fine, but I have to hold the button. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

You can't get to it via ForScan, but if you use FordPass and select the hidden icon in the credit account, it'll produce a reporting number for fluid viscosity.

This silliness makes me laugh everyday. Love this forum.

Make sure they change your blinker fluid at the same time. Nothing worse than having old, worn out blinker fluid.
