My Ranger did not come with the mid-bed hooks. I had to use up the FordPass Reward points as they were going away on April 1. I ordered the hooks, bolts, several oil filters, air filters, and cabin filters to use up the points. I wanted the battery charger but was told that since the charger did not have a regular Ford part number I could not use the Reward points. It didn't matter to me too much as I have a Battery Tender already.
Oh it is the factory sprayed in liner you have? I asked my dealer for some clarity and they actually weren't sure, but told me they'll toss in the extra tie-downs if my truck comes in without them?

That is the factory spray in liner. Ford stopped supplying the mid-bed hooks in mid-Sept of 2019 I believe. I had to use a tap to clean out the holes but it wasn't a big deal.

If your dealer is going to supply you with the mid-bed hooks, that is very nice of them. Be sure to thank them.

Had to get another tire patched. I swear this truck loves nails, that's twice in 6 months now. Got the dash warning the rear left was low (23 lbs) and 5 seconds later the FordPass app alerted me too.

What I did to my Ranger is bought one. Blue Lariat Tremor. Drove from Fort Worth to San Antonio for the pleasure. Currently eating dinner before the last couple of hours. Love every thing on it!!!! I does seem to have very soft brakes, but drives very smooth. Quick picture in dealers lot before heading out.

Gave Money Pit a nice bath. The Graphene is holding up great after 5 1/2 months and still beads water good.

Nice - damn I miss Fort Worth, and San Antonio and TEXAS!

What did I do today? Do new wiper blades count!

Welcome to the forum (aka "the place to get ideas on how to spend your money") Good to see a fellow Texan!

Actually your welds look very good! Congratulations on the build. Is it MIG or stick welding?
Thank you!..MIG flux core. Wanted to use the bottles for less slag... But don't have a whole lot of projects in my future and it's just a waste of space and money. Worked really good and super strong.

O I also didn't like any of the bed racks available so i built my own on a long weekend i had... Also learned to weld that same weekend, so don't judge the welds lol. But my wife and i climb all over it to load the truck and it holds all given weight no problem. 140lbs estimated.

Welcome to the built not bought club.

Looks good, but careful of the rabbit hole it may lead you. Mine was suppose to be a simple project, but it is so ridiculously fun to create something if you have a wandering imagination its a train ride to nutsville.
