What did you do to your Ranger today?

Installed the ARB sliders with side rails. So happy with it.

How much and how did they fit to the bumper? Do you have to drill a hole in your bumper on each side? I'm assuming yes. I've been eying these but yours is the first I've seen on a US Ranger!

$1972 for the sliders and rails. I think they were 12 or $1300 for just the sliders. Yes on the drilling to the bumper.

Sweet looking ride. Has to be the cleanest mall crawler I have ever seen.

Hi Folks,

I finally picked up my Ranger today after 48 hours to accomplish a 0.4hour TSB. The dealer service writer indicated the dealerhip needed Ford's approval to do the update and then performed TSB 20-2033...not TSB 20-2339...hope this was a typo. Anyway...the Ranger is now home...we will see if their update improved the cold start surging.

Best,

It’s such a bummer when the service department at a dealership is sub par.
Hopefully they fixed your issue Phil.

HAHA, I think they are actually bug catchers, not deflectors. I've resisted one of these so far, had them on my last 3 trucks. I think they mostly keep from chipping the paint there for the next owner! Looks like it prevents your hood from closing

Cargo basket install until I get my custom safari rack fabricated.

Will see. It was not closed. Closed now.

I always swap to winter tires and rims as I live in Vermont and the factory all seasons don’t cut it IMO. I have had great luck with one of two online places. TireRack and Discount tires direct.
I just bought a set of Firestone Winterforce 2 winter tires mounted on black rims, TPMS, mounted balanced and shipped to my house in 3 days ready to install for less than $1200. The winter tires are 255/70/16 and are exactly the same circumference as the OEM 255/65/17.

While picking up my touch-up paint today (that was ordered around 4 months ago) at my dealer I inquired about what their ‘deal’ would be on winters/snows. They gave me a final (not estimated) price of $1,500 and some cents (Canadian $).

Includes wheels (didn’t ask what kind but assuming nice steelies like I got from them for my other vehicles), sensors, and Winterforce 2 tires, balanced and installed.
I’ll most likely be going this route too. It seems competitive enough to me.

I do however have to also check out Costco tomorrow, according to the wife, to compare.

Interesting. I would be interested with what you ended up.
