Looks great!
Not what I wanted to hear about the shocks though!
I just ordered a stage 2 kit last week through stage3,and have only received the tubular arms so far...

Thanks - happy with how it turned out! I ordered the Icon parts end of July. They are now saying end of October for the rear shocks. For what it’s worth, most of the upgrade is in the front end anyway.

intersting,and I have already swapped rear shocks to rough countries that will allow me to raise the rear 2 inches if I desire.It really made the rear soooooo much better.
Just looking to get rid of the spacer level to make the nose at least as good as the rear,and maybe go just a touch taller.
Hopefully the Icons live up to the hype since I have not ridden in an Icon equipped vehicle .

As it sits now

I also had to install my rears a couple of weeks after doing the fronts and must say you'll be shocked how much the rears improve the truck.

I take it you have Icons on your truck?
How do you like it?

I didn't really DO anything to my Ranger, but I did use up most of my FordPass points, getting some routine maintenance stuff:
  • Air Filter
  • Cabin Air Filter
  • Touch up paint
  • 2 sets of wiper blades
  • Oil pan drain plug

I have something like $11 left in FordPass points - I'm not sure what else I'd use them for so they will probably expire, but this was free money and this is all stuff I will need at some point anyway, so I thought it was a good trade off.

It's a good day,

Stopped by the local rack place and picked up the Yakima Outpost HD with 60" crossbars and the short sidebar pack.

Might be a few days before I can instal them as I'm not supposed to lift anything with my right arm for about 8 weeks, may take a shot at getting the wife involved to lift and turn wrenches. That should be all kinds of fun.

Just need to save up for a couple of months for the Roofnest Condor XL we've got our eyes on and keep an eye out for the email from Rocky Road for the kick out sliders in the next couple of weeks.

Got my eye on a couple of Hot Springs on the Eastern side of the Sierras that need to be woken up to once or twice this winter.
