Got my grill and letters painted a couple of days ago, Installed it today. I will start swapping out the flares tomorrow and hook up the grill lights plus the new blacked out turn signals.

I tried REALLY hard to get the oem grill out without breaking tabs or knuckles, skinned three knuckles and broke three tabs. ?

I generally like orange, but I'm also colour blind. I'd probably like it allot more in person.

I think you should do the silver piece at the bottom in orange too.
Nooooo.....:oops::crackup:

Thanks Tracy!

I have all 4 painted flares on (with the blacked out led running lights) wet sanded and buffed.

Had to wet sand and buff the rub lines from the bigger flares first, then stop and fix my stepson car then finished the Ranger. The amber grill lights look awesome. ?

Hulkan8ors are go!!

Had time to get driver side Builtright installed and the "Hulkan8ors" strapped on. Had to spend time cutting out plugs that were in bracket oval holes because of spray liner. Box cutter around edge (at angle, flatter better, to get under flange piece of plug and leave a good cut line on spray-in. You can do it if you have sprayed bed liner, take your time.

Also, a nice surprise in the box

Lashing is hook/loop 0.8" x 8" from amazon...?

EDIT - sorry about missing panel install in front of the rear piece, forgot to take the dang pic!!

Put my @589FAB rear shock skids on. Good thing too since one was already kinda dinged up. Looks great!


Side note: anyone know of a good full size spare holder for the bed? I saw an awesome one by @589FAB but for the Colorado :/ I want to be able to set up before a trip and take it off after since my truck is my DD (if I get a flat while on a road I have free road side but I doubt they’ll go on a trail lol)

How I installed mine was to use red T-connectors to connect to the stock wires without cutting off the connector. Connect the crossover to the stock wires, and stuffed everything down inside the door, which fit no problem.
I'm in the process of doing exactly what you said with some new tweets. But do you recall which is positive and negative on the factory tweeter wiring? Or a link to a post showing that.

Thanks @Tom-C Big help. Installed a pair of Kicker tweeters today (non B&O). KST-2004 P# I believe.
As others have said, they made the high notes nice and crispy. Good stuff.
