I modified and installed my air dam that I had removed last year. I used the pictures that
@DukeCanBuildit posted on another thread. I just left the lower edge hang against the skid plate instead of tucking it underneath. It worked out very well in the end. Kudos to Duke :rockon: :turkey:
Here’s your free t-shirt - wear it with pride!

After two weeks of bitter cold (-31 wind chill this morning) I couldn't take any more of the salt and grime on my Ranger. Since the sun was out I turned on the heated power washer at work and gave her a bath and put her inside to dry. She'll stay clean about a day but at least I feel better. ??

Finally have something worthy of posting, although I technically did this past Saturday.... Also sorry for the dirt. It was proper winter in Germany until Monday and salt was EVERYWHERE!

I got hold of some Eibach 30mm spacer plates for a very good price and installed those. Big fan of the fitment. Not too extreme but the wheels finally fill the space and the truck doesn't look like a dude who skips leg day anymore.
So far I can't really feel they're there.. But I know they are and I love walking up to my Ranger in a parking lot even more!

The other thing I did was build a little wire harness with some LED lights. It's a complete pain in the ass to properly (and according with laws) mount extra LEDs here in Germany and I'm a little afraid of permanently putting in extra wires for something I won't use too often.
So what I did, I grabbed two cheapo LED lights, some strong magnets with some rubber underneath and some wire and soldered myself some "snap-on" LED lights.
I honestly like how it works, even though my soldering is absolute shit.
The magnets are easily strong enough to sustain some 30-50km/h offroad driving AND I can put them wherever I need them (front/side/rear/underneath if I feel like it). If I dont use them I just put them away. No trouble with German laws is also a nice plus.

My love for this truck just keeps growing. It was an absolute blast in the snow, although rear wheel drive is pretty much unusable. No surprise there though..

Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

Installed the leads from my battery to hook up my new battery maintainer. Truck only went into hibernation once so I picked this up at HF on sale for $29.95. Not high dollar so I thought I would give it a try. I know the best way to prevent that is drive the truck but just joy riding in this weather just ain't as much fun. :)

I have hard mounted leads on my mustang and motorcycle for a trickle charger (battery tender brand) for winter storage. Smart idea if you don't drive often in the winter. It's great that they just maintain and don't overcharge.

Thank you. Found them at another dealer for $388 (stage 3 has them for $417) but I’m still waiting to pull the trigger.
They do look good.

Oh okay nice! They were great. Shipped well and the instructions were nice and clear although they do have the instructions for the other type of bars they have so I was bit confused at first lol

Got the Eibach Sports Performance put on, set on second ring (.75)

Not as much rake, but just a little bit (which I like). Biggest first note is the weight of truck "feels" shifted back towards center of truck and all suspension "feels" involved in front end ripple/bumps. Alignment first thing in morning and then a 150 mile trip. Well report on that tomorrow.
