I installed the Ford OEM molded mud flaps yesterday and got a spray in bedliner today.

I do miss the lovely Oxford White in the bed, but this makes it much more usable so it had to be done.

I'm using the Trinova Foam Cannon and the Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam soap. Whats nice about the Trinova Cannon is it has a wide base so when you set it down it doesn't tip over like the tall thinner ones. Plus it holds enough to do 3-4 washes.

You really need to get that damper situation taken care of. ?

Awesome!! Thanks for the info. Now that my wife has joined the Ford family (we bought her a 2020 Ford Edge ST Line) I need something to keep the fleet cleaned.

I'll get right on the damper situation....maybe..

Installed the Bullet Proof mount today (thanks to @WxNerd2015 Trevor) for his great install build/pics to begin with and answer a question or two from me).

Take the time to read what others have done/directions and it took me about an hour by myself...including, yes having to uninstall it to route the cable through the middle roof slot (somebody had mentioned that in a thread, but duh?!). Hardest part is deciding how YOU want to do it.

I popped the C pillar panel edges along the back and the back panel bar, but did not completely take them out, just enough to route cable behind them. So the cable runs along the rear window top to the passenger C pillar panels, down the rear window C pillar edge ( under it) to the cross panel on rear wall. Underneath that panel to right above the first child restraint. Down and out that cutout.

Snap panels back into place, reverse of popping them and done.

My time was about 5 minutes each for setup, put away; 10 minutes to CAREFULLY pop the panels involved; 20 minutes to get the zip tie tip to where I could raise the liner and see the end to grab with needle nose plyers (this is where two people would be best); 10 minutes to route cable well so no panel pinching; about 10 minutes to pop panels back in, clean off, inspect and take a pic of final.

No drilling or cutting BTW.:whew:

Ok, I'll ask the question...what does it do?

Turned off Enhanced Engine Sound in Forscan. Like it!!
I got my ODBLink on Tuesday and disabled the engine sound today. What a big difference! Thanks for the info about Forscan.

Cheating by including a couple of days, but I was able to get my Truxedo Pro-X15 installed, with minor adjustment I am very happy with it! I got my Diode Dynamics LED cargo lights and third brake light bulbs in, and my fake raptor grill light's installed and working.

Is this made by printing, molded or billet machined aluminum? I would hope the latter for the cost.
Machined aluminum and powder coated black and it is well made (as they say, meaning I didn't destroy it )?

Installed matte black raised RANGER letters. Initially, I tried the stick-on vinyl letters, but they were just too flimsy. Also, added some decals.

1. Installed a Go Rhino Black Matte Exhaust Tip 3" inlet, 4" outlet, 10" length (GRT3410B). Matches great with the STX trim. I started by using a 3/8" drive and tightened it all the way but the Exhaust tip was still loose. I then decided to go with a 1/2" but said no, too much torque will surely strip the threads. I remembered that Turborave said to use WD 40 on the threads and this did the trick. I placed the back edge of the clamp 1/8" from the back edge of the Exhaust Tip and tightened it down easily with the 3/8" drive.

2. Installed a black velour Dash Designs dash cover to match the ebony interior. The cutouts for the vents, storage tray and Pre-collision indicator were exactly in the right positions. The overall size was a perfect fit everywhere. The seams were smooth and uniform. I used the velcro fasteners and the cover lies flat with no ripples or humps.

Yesterday....
Got windows tinted all around. Basically only a twitch darker but the real upgrade is in the heat resistance and IR resistance.

Installed the @Fordrangerlifts.com 2.5” Leveling kit. Unfortunately during the process I popped one of the sway bar end links. Now to find a replacement before taking her to have an alignment down. As of the moment of completion the front has a 1” larger gap than the rear. It does appear it have a slight sag in the rear now, but I attribute that to the steel 58” rack and CVT Mt Shasta tent.

Had to enjoy a cold adult beverage after that one.
