My '21 never came with an Ecoboost badge. I assumed it was yet another item cut from the list but maybe it fell off in transit..lol. On another note, I thought it was funny that Ford accessories decided to advertise the factory sprayed in liner with a sticker on the back window. I took that off almost right away.
Yep, I would have too. I had to have the ford dealer fix a huge scratch on the tailgate after they installed the security lock incorrectly the first time. when it came back the badge was still freshly applied after the repaint and wouldn't you know it, it just came right off. Oh darn.

They did you a favor as the clean look without the badge is much nicer IMO. I also removed the dealer logo sticker from my tailgate as well. It stood out on the velocity blue like a sore thumb...and I detest dealer advertising decals.

Not stickers this time.

Okay, did these pretty quick, plasti dip with plasti dip glossifier. Not happy with how the top left came out, probably will redo that one. Waiting for 3m paint protection film to put on before the silicon rubbers. Probably will install sometime this week.

Big difference from these scratched up ones from shipping.

Finally installed the Diode Dynamics Pro fog lights, and my Moto Metal 970 (22x10 -18) wheels are about to ship. The light install was a pain but looks great.

Nice job on the grill color! Getting mine painted to match the Oxford White is next on my mods list.

Just got home from tinting my windshield to cut down on how hot the cab gets. Ceramic 70% tint with ~90% UV protection. Will be a welcome change.
Had ceramic tint on my Explorer and was amazed at the difference it made keeping the interior cooler! My Ranger gets a covered parking spot most days so I haven't pulled the trigger on ceramic tinting yet.

New tires...up one size to 265/70/17.
Continental TerrainContact.
Seems quiet so far, and feels good on the truck. Minor issue with tire pressures not being even and needing rebalancing (vibrations at hwy speeds) that is being corrected right now. Even so, I think I'm going to like them. ?

Nice, but I'm more impressed about how clean your garage floor is!

Did they paint over the chrome? Just curious if that will last. I've been contemplating whether I should get mine painted or order an all black grill and have it painted.

It'll definitely last. I don't know their process but essentially they remove the chrome, by hand or chemical process, then paint. I wanted to maintain the OE look, so it appears like it came from Ford that way.

Very good! I like what you did. I'm considering painting the entire grille white. Have to play with that in PhotoShop and see if I like it ;). Been eyeing the AVS Aeroskin Lightshield color-matched hood protector to match https://www.autoventshade.com/aeroskin-lightshield-color-match-hood-protector/2019/ford/ranger
