That is awesome. Please send more info on the mount used. I love the idea of the magnet mount so you can remove it to still get to the usb ports. It looks good too and your totally right with the tilt vice the straight backward.

I have two of these, one up on the window to the left of steering wheel for my phone and/or SCT BDX tuner, then one below. I run it upside down and use the suction mount on the slant of the front console below hvac controls. I try and grab some close up pics sometime before end of the weekend. The current picture doesn't show it as well, but when I look down at it as the driver the front face plate is basically angled at equal plane with my eyes and hand.

Happy Easter Eve, Rangerites! Warmed up enough to install the "old man step", with the garage door open to the afternoon sun. About an hour, give or take, it's real tight in there, one smashed thumb, hope the nail stays on. No shims used, it goes up close enough to the bumper for me, had to grind down one small frame spacer (aluminum!). Since I AM a metallurgist, I know the hardware will rust and used some never seize. Whilst I was under there, had to wonder if the assembly line doesn't know which way is up on the shocks, they need a label :facepalm:, and what the heck is the + and - for on the leaf springs??
Then I finally painted the rear tailgate Ford emblem, it's been a long time since I did the front grill emblem. Took the rear off last week to prep and paint, tired of seeing my backup camera sideways view, so I got it back on today no problemo, now the tail is chrome-free. Dang, finished after 5:00, but it's always 5:00 somewhere I hear...(eg. right now in Alabama, Chicago... ?).
Now I'm ready for the trip to FL next Sunday. First extended trip in the Ranger, which the wife reluctantly agreed to. Yay, warmer weather.

If you have a FX4 I believe, it won’t have it due to the bigger skid plate
I have an FX4 and mine had them. Im pretty sure the FX4 has the reverse mudflap things and the non-FX4s have an entire one piece air dam

I paid it off this morning.

I had made 5 payments so far and didn't feel doing that anymore. There was no penalty for early payoff.

It has 871 miles on it now. :) I'm hoping it'll be the last vehicle I ever purchase.

Happy Easter Weekend all!

Finally added the raptor grille and love the way it came out, I know I’m just another to jump on the bandwagon but very happy with the look!

Washed and waxed her for the first time. Please ignore the dog butt on the bottom. Lol

Nice looking truck!
You should paint the tow hooks red to match the grill. Just my opinion.

Spent all day on final prep and painting for the roof platform 2.0

Wanted to get all the roof panel perimeter lighting done, but I got this far and I am just done till morning and I will do the remaining four. I also finally got in my 303 Graphene coating, I need to clean, clay bar, and coat my roof before the install commences. Then on top of that I need to install my custom hide n' fold fold ARB 8' awning.

Bit of a downside to having a full span platform, can't wash it very well. I am probably going to get the roof vinyl wrapped at some point just to help preserve the condition.

I've also discovered my rear panel will not clear the lowest arch point of my make-shift garage. So I guess the ol' skill saw is going to come out and some garage mods are going to have to take place. (cut arch point and drill in a new cross beam). Yeaaaaa.... /sarcasm

I suppose I could make a folding rear panel with some tailgate dampers and wing nuts to keep it locked in place in the up position....

2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.
The giant, inexplainable opening under the grille/bumper was bugging me, so I did the Putco bumper grille insert. I REALLY hate dealing with those little panel and trim clips but overall it wasn't difficult. In case anyone is interested I've attached a picture of what's behind that valance so you know where the clips are when pulling. The other side is just mirrored...
