My wife went all out. She got me a set of 5 wheels from ICON! They didn't exactly fit under the tree so they're in the garage. She's a keeper.
She didn't forget the spare, awesome!

That is the very first thing I do with every vehicle.
Yeah since it was “tinted” it wasn’t necessarily first in line of mods but since I’m back home for the holidays I know a shop that does it for $75 cheaper than most quoted where I currently live so IMO worth the wait.

Been busy installing all the goods the family bought me.

My wife spent the rest of the Ford points on floor mats. She is really too honest, the parts guy said she was all set when he gave her the mats. She was about to leave and decided to ask if he was sure since I had previously told here there weren't enough points to cover the cost. He checked again and and collected the money due. I knew I was getting them since I saw the charge on the credit card. ?

Heated seat cover. I got one for my wife and decided I needed one. We can always move them from vehicle to vehicle if needed for a trip.

A light for the bed and easy to remove bed mat. I'll have more on those soon as put together a build thread.

Also got some D-rings to fill in for the missing tie downs but haven't had a chance to install them yet.

Hi KJ, Do you have a link for the heated seat covers? I got use to these in my Ranger and I'll need some for my Bronco whenever it comes in. Do you think they'd work underneath a seat cover too?

Here you go! I don't see why they wouldn't work under a seat cover. I know its got to be pretty cold out there. ??:rolleyes:?
I haven't had a chance to use them on the road yet but did verify they work when I installed them after clearing up the rest of the snow yesterday.

Thanks! And yes it does get cold out here, it's been mid 30's in the mornings. ? Plus as an added bonus I use mine as a built in heating pad for when my back is sore.?

I hear you on the sore back. I'm a little sore myself after shoveling and working on the Ranger yesterday. The heated recliner feels good.

Ordered these on 12/22. Delivery set on 1/9. How do you like them?

I haven't had a chance to get the Ranger out of the garage since I put them in so I don't know how well it works yet. It did warm up when tested during the install. My wife may be the first to test it in the Edge when she goes shopping today.
My observations so far:
I like that they are narrow and fit within the seat bolsters as that should prevent it shifting too much when getting in.
The install is easy so easy to uninstall when it warms up.
I wish the cord was longer so I could route it better.
Like that it wraps over the front of the seat.
I may need to attach it better in the front but time will tell.
I thought about having a local shop install the heated seat kits but didn't want to spend that money right now and couldn't bring myself to tear apart the seats myself just yet.
I'm itching to go for a ride so I may venture out today and I'll let you know how they work.

Update:
The wife went out shopping and I showed her how to use the seat heaters. She said she could feel the warmth within 30 seconds. Said they get plenty warm and likes it. :like: She got in without any problem with it bunching so that's good.
I was in the garage trying to update sync and turned it on. Took a minute or so to feel the warmth but it is a little colder in the garage right now.
We'll see how this works out over the long run.

Update to the update:
Had about a 45 minute ride today and the seat heater is nice. Warmed up quickly and I had to turn it down. I could tell when it shut off after 30 minutes as it started to cool down. My wife had some errands to run and enjoyed having it.

I like the center console tray but it would cover my security buddies....Smith an Wesson I keep in there.
