I’ve never tried it but I’ll look for it in the supermarket ..
There are multiple sens
Have mine on order and will heed your warning about the clips! THXAdded the lower front grille made by putco. Easy install. Just be careful of clips I did break one but crazy glued it. It didn't fully breakaway.
I would be very interested in buying a set of brackets from you. This is genius.I just finished installing my DIY bed divider.
“Why do you need a bed divider? It’s only a 5’ long bed.” Yes, I know. But my arms aren’t that long, so I can’t reach things that slide to the front, and I almost have the wife willing to let me spend the money for the Bak Revolver cover, so I’ll want a way to keep things close to the tailgate then.
“Alright, fine...but why cheap out and build it? You spent the money on an expensive new truck, what’s a few hundred for a quality divider, or better yet, an extender that can do double duty!” Maybe it was the extra 1.5’ in my F-150 SCAB’s bed, but I never used my extender as an extender, only a divider, and finding quality dividers for the Ranger is hard to do. And I could build this for $20, vs the nearly $300 of the AMP Research one.
“$20?! How??” Well, you can find the top rail to a chain link fence at Home Depot for $13. It’s 10.5’ long, so cutting it in half (60.5”, to be exact) gives you two solid steel bars that have zero flex to them. To mount them, I 3D printed a bracket that fits the spacing of the middle tie-down holes, since mine are just empty threads. Use a can of Plasti-Dip ($5) to paint the whole thing black, and secure it in place with 4 M8x1.25 bolts ($2).
“Huh. Good job.” Of course it is. I don’t do anything but. I might even go a step further and print something in the middle to add some decorative flair and a couple of D-rings. Dunno yet.
Precious!!!We had a driving lesson, she dumped the clutch and hopped a couple curbs but it’s a good thing the truck is tough.
JK (obviously I hope), the tables at Chipotle were disgusting so we ate in the truck.
Your ride is at this point nothing short of an engineering marvel. Impressive stuff going on inside your head!I finally got around to doing a 303 Graphene coating. So that was nice.
Also I was tinkering around with ways to widen my reverse lighting capability. I kind of came up with an unconventional install by placing some spare floods pods I have in a vertical position so I could angle them at about 30 degrees outward. Tested last night worked pretty damn good. At first I thought it looked a little odd and I am still debating taking them down, but sort of growing on me. Pardon the mess of wires, I have a shipment of electrical supplies and 100ft of mesh loom coming in tomorrow.
Still working on corner mending bracket designs to close up those panel gaps. Just have not been happy with ideas so far.
Amazing how many of us are having to take garage size into consideration when buying our next vehicles!
