This whole Virtualwork thing means that I don’t drive my Ranger near enough. Bought something to help save my battery.

This has been a slow burn of a project but I started installing my eBay Lariat headlights. I didn't get very far as it's cold out and it started to rain. They seem to work correctly but I had to a good amount of patching on the passage side and just a little on the driver's. Hopefully I can finish up tomorrow.

Assuming they are tied to your parking lights, you can go into Forscan and enable DRLs include parking lights in BdyCM config.

Thank you much (of course I gotta get a FORScan first)

You can set the turn signals as DRL with forscan and they will be on whenever in gear. It will also keep the side markers on. You could also use an add a circuit and wire to a switched circuit.

I got an early Christmas present today. A CURT D-Ring shackle mount. I will only have it in the hitchreceiver when I need it, but it is handy to have. I will keep it in my emergency equipment bin up in the bed of the truck.

One thing I am not sure of, is if the hitch pin that holds the normal towing receiver on, is strong enough for this towing/recovery receiver.

I would hope if it is good enough for a 7500 pound trailer on would be good enough for this.

Took advantage of a 70* day and washed it. I love the Graphene finish I applied last month.

What graphebe finish do you use?
Gary, I used the 303 Graphene. I posted some info here and there's also a few videos about it. Even though it's only been 6 weeks it still beads up like the day I applied it. The sun here is brutal and wears out casting fast.

I have mine in all the time, instead of a cover or just leaving it open. Had to use it 3 times the other day to pull out the garden tractor / snowblower during the snow storm. Super handy to have.

I just received mine too but to darn cold to apply it. I read or sow where it needs to be 50dg+ when applied. Any truth to this? We won’t see 50dg around here until spring.

Thanks

Do you have a standard receiver pin, or a locking one?
