What did you do to your Ranger today?

[D-scar16]

Do you have patterns for these now or just a one off custom job never to be replicated again? Curious minds want to know.

Well let me start by saying I needed some black plastic and had a old trash can laying there so I used some cardboard for templets . And made them from a trash can you know the one mans trash thing. Only took about an hour to get it done here is how I installed

Finished up the Lamin-X "clear bug deflector", headlight/fog light, and 3M paint protector on the door sills.
The Lamin-X product went up the hood further than I thought it would - about 8". I thought it would have only covered the very front angled part of the hood. I got lucky, and it went on pretty good.
Headlight material not perfect, but protects the lens. No friggen way I was going to try stretching it to the rear edge of the light fixture. But its clear, so its not visible, correct?????
Here's a pic, and includes the Lamin-X smoke colored side marker tint.

Installed a catch can today, partially, because I still need to do the drain hose, currently the drain is plugged.
I never wash an engine, but a good wipe is needed!

I installed a DECKED drawer system

Took about 4 hours to install. Hands down the hardest part was removing the factory tiedowns next to the cab that they sprayed with bed liner.

After reading about and seeing my 2021 Ranger had the dreaded non plugged holes in the body, ordered a pack of 25 rubber cap plugs from Amazon, for a 3/4 inch hole.....$12.
Before using I shot a good spray of some PTFE lube I had on hand into each hole to coat the inside of the rocker panel...stuff dries to a waxy like coating, and then plugged the holes.

Well I haven't gotten them yet, but I managed to snag a set of SCS F5 in matte dark bronze (17x8.5 ET-10) during their drop last night. Toyota spec so I'll need hub rings for them. Been waiting months to place an order for these and happy I finally got a set. I've only seen one other Ranger with SCS wheels when searching here and on FB.

You made me go out and look...I found I have all 10 plugs in each side, nicely covered in HPR paint! I can't imagine why they would leave them out, must be a UAW thing!

When I bought my Tire/wheels they came with a couple hub rings that did not fit. I called Tire Rack and they told me that my Ranger was lug centric and not hub centric. I have been running the tires and wheels for about 600 miles with no vibrations or problems.

Interesting. I guess we'll see when I get them and test fit them. Worst comes to worst, I can flip them to some Toyota guys because they eat SCS wheels up like candy lol

Boy the reception is really bad on this truck compared to my previous GM vehicles (even with the stubby roof antennas). Hopefully this antenna is better. I don't expect it to be as good as an old "whip", but it should be at least as good as the GM stubby I would expect. Only thing I'm disappointed in so far.

Just in case anyone wonders, the antenna works ok, but no better than Ford OEM sadly. Oh well.

Installed the Builtright car mount with the Ram phone mount

Installed the Mountains2Metal lower grille. Literally a 5 minute job.

Made in the USA.

I'm considering getting the Mishmoto CAI next.
