What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Joyride]

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

Like it! Here's an example of what white looks like.

Added center tie downs to the bed. I might paint them later so they match the spray in bed liner better.

Definitely will do. On my old Mazda the emblems and wheels held up quite well for 4 years. This time I plan to throw 303 aerospace protectant on them. Someone on jeep forums from 2015 said it kept it looking like new plasti dip.

Brandon, you're like a mobile accessory catalog! ?

Hahaha basically. You can count on me to buy all the silly little accessories

If you like them…they’re not silly.

I will be towing my Ranger behind my motorhome and just had the baseplate and associated hardware/wiring installed. Then I got an Aeroskin bug deflector and the silver grey Ranger vinyl letter inserts. That's all for today.

What brand baseplate and wiring harness did you go with? Looking to do the same to our Ranger soon.

LOL, I hear ya on that one. The plates are about 18 years old so I guess they have held up relatively well....

How do you like your turbo Cat?

Logos and stickers falling off, seems to be an epidemic. My Ecoboost badge just ran away a few weeks after I bought my truck. *shrugs*

weird how that works. You'd think they would figure out the adhesive by now - really hurting their advertising.

I find the stickers from dealers must source from the same place too.

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.

I don't think mine has an ecoboost badge anywhere either. Damn, they left off the turbo.

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.

My last car was also a ford (I did shop around this time, to be fair), and I bought from a dealer about two hours away. They told me they didn't have the car in yet, so i drove another 4 hours a day later.

When i left the first day, the car was in the lot. I had agreed to pricing before driving down, why make me waste another 4 hours?

The kicker - they had minimal dealer prep (removing a few peelable plastics), and installed a dealer decal that came off at home. Salesperson at the dealership also felt like he was trying "negging." pathetic.

Any additional pictures @paquete305 ? That's the exact set up I'm going with only with icon UCA thrown in.

I changed the wide angle lens to an amber color and moved my trigger switches to the dash tray instead of the overhead console

Yes, adding some below!

Looks awesome @paquete305

I love my 1100 turbo, have a 2016 1100t and a 17 ZR6000. On tight twistys it is a bit of a heavy sled, but up in N Ont where the trails are like highways, the turbo is just amazing.

Nice, I have a 2018 Ski Doo 850X which is excellent, hard to believe they keep making them faster and more fuel and oil efficient for us 2 stroke riders.

I hear you, my turbo has an eco tune so it is about 230hp, my buddy has a Sidewinder tuned to 270hp, that thing is crazy fast and it rides great as he had the suspension set up by a pro. I really want to try the SkiDoo 900t, that seems like the best of both worlds, although I still like the 2 strokes....

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. ?

The truck looks great.

But I am looking at how clean that garage is. Man I could clutter that place up in no time.
