Removed the tailgate letters my wife bought me. Did not like the contrast of the Blue R and A on a blue truck. If it were all red and white maybe. Also did not like that rain and dirt collected on them and made dirt streaks from water clinging and running down past the letters. What a pain in the ass that was. Never again.

I guess today I'll find out if I blow up. I'll make the junction board look all pretty once I confirm it works.

Yes they have one with an opening for the ACC module. Apparently it's a much less friendly installation though, and I prefer the look of no opening. But if the M2M one doesn't work out I'll either cut an opening or go with the Putco.

This isn't really a "what did you do to your Ranger"... yet but it will eventually have an effect.
I dug out an old laptop, reformatted the drive, and got Windows 10 up and running on it. Now I will be able to use that FORskin thing that everyone talks about. I had to go this route because there isn't a full version for Mac. I can't wait to get myself in trouble with all the settings I will mess up! Amazon tells me I should have my ODBLink EX adapter tomorrow so.... yay!

Make sure you're standing in a puddle of water so you have a nice solid ground.I guess today I'll find out if I blow up. I'll make the junction board look all pretty once I confirm it works.

Do you know if the tow hooks on the bumper are rated or just design? Your truck looks very nice, a bit too much red on the bonnet scoop for me. It accentuates the "fake" idea. Otherwise congrats with the build! ... I have a feeling you took my comment the wrong way and btw. I am not sensitive at all, just trying to not offend, that's all buddy!Yes they sure do

So far today has been going without any snags or snafus. Almost all my projects never translate 100% from concept to truck and always having to halt and adapt.
But today is not that day. I'm not done yet however. I need to get my pods reinstalled and my rear panel up and its lights running.
