Mine is too and I coated mine with Graphene. It a lot easier to clean now especially when they've been baking in the AZ sun. :sun:
Yep my whole truck is graphene coated, still doesn't fix them exploding on the windshield in the first place haha. I usually just keep some glass cleaner in my backseat to clean the windows. I try not to wash my truck more than once a week to waste water and cleanin product.

I messed with FORScan for the first time and was eventually successful! I had some issues at first getting my laptop connected because I didn't know I had to install a driver for the cable (it was gifted to me used). But I managed to turn on the speed limit sign recognition and display to the gauge cluster. Pretty neat! But can anybody tell me what the empty circle to the left of the circle with the speed limit is supposed to display?

That's on my chore list this weekend. I like the look, especially when you don't have chrome.

I have those same Falken Wildpeak tires. Love them.

Unfortunately my black tailpipe tip I got from Amazon already has finish flaking off.
I did the tip thing with the Rhino tip, no flaking so far, will see long term though. It's seems to be pretty good quality. I think painting the exhaust up to the muffler makes it look better as well.

At least you didn't replace the Ford word with "Taco" :LOL:

My wife didn't like the blue with all the silver and black. She wanted a raptor grille until I showed her the price. So, we went with the $5 plasti dip. Lol
When the ladies are happy, everybody's happy! :clap:

Let's just say, I try to intercept packages to keep the peace. I am at the end (I hope) of chronic ordering for my brand new Ranger.

I can relate to this..lol. My Ranger arrived at the dealership this week and it's staying there until next week to have a suspension and trailer brake controller installed. Then I can finally start digging into the boxes of parts sitting in my garage and mudroom. I should have some pics to share in this thread soon! First one below for now, sent to me by the salesman. It won't be looking like this for long...

Just show her something way more expensive than you need, then show her what you really want and it will look reasonable.

I really have a pretty great wife. As long as she sees the value in what I'm doing to the truck and likes it she's OK with it. She thought the truck was too quiet also so she was cool with me putting a duel exhaust on it. I showed her how a bed cover would be nice and we got that. The other day while we were out I pointed out a levelled ranger and she liked how that looked so next week we're gonna put a levelling kit on it.
