What did you do to your Ranger today?

[AzScorpion]

What? When did that happen and on who’s authority? ? I think I missed something...

Al, if you had a damper you'd get the weekly memos! ?

Finished some vinyl work and its a nice day out for photo. Not which sure which I like most.

Your truck is looking good sir!

Thanks man. Still a ways to go. The work on fit & finish for rack is never ending. Next up though is suspension. I'm trying to keep it budget friendly so I'm looking at the Eibach Pro Truck kit + Blocks.

Can't really find a better deal right now for around $600. Old Man Emu looks good, but its about double the price.

Honestly, even just buying a set of rear 5100 Bilsteins right now would be a vast improvement over factory XLT....

The Eibach Pro Truck kit, without the rear lift block, is a HUGE improvement. I absolutely LOVE how it feels. If I may though, I would suggest not doing the block and going with something like the AutoLeaf helper spring. I've started hearing horror stories about our leaf packs bending around the lift blocks.

Oh wow OK, price is about same between the helpers and blocks. Thanks for heads up!

Made 3 led light bars and installed them in the bed, tied in to the fob lighting hot wire, white wire, green stripe thanks SRaces!
I have alot of under body coating so I found an alternate route for the wire, the small oval grommet at the back corner of the cab then up into the bed. There is an extra threaded hole above the cargo tie down at the back of the bed by the cab. Pushed a piece of bell wire down and out it dropped. Also used bell wire to get from the sill to the grommet.
Pushed a rubber grommet into that threaded hole and when completed i put silicone in it to prevent wire wear and movement. Also ran all the wires In wire loom and ziptied it all up and a way. Will clean up the mess this morning, couldn't feel my feet from the cold last night.

I made the 2 side bars a few inches shorter to allow access to 4 adjustment screws for the bed cover tracks. The one in the middle is full length about 36 inches + or -. It was an after thought, I figured if I have to run wire from left to right it may as well have a light, I already had all the parts on hand. All 3 lights and wires are up out of the way and won't be snagged. I would've preferred to mount it all to the truck but the only flat areas have bed liner on them so the bottom of the rails just needed a very light sanding to remove excess powder coat , a wipe with denatured alcohol and installed with exterior grade 30 pound limit double sided tape. Also used stick on ziptie anchors to secure wires. The middle light is on the back of the box that houses the rolled up bed cover, that allows me to slide items underneath and not shear off the light.

Bogo for your damper?

Damper was the first thing added, or was that the floor mats first? ?

The last I had looked this wasn't clearly documented. I would love to do this as it messes with my hearing aids and causes them to generate white noise. How easy is this to do?
