What did you do to your Ranger today?

[bfastr]

Looks great, but your hood looks a little wonky. High on the p-side. Kinda looks like when I forget a small tool under there and close the hood on it.

It sure does.. I went out and looked at it again, doesnt seem as bad as the picture makes it, maybe it was partly shadow. but it is certainly a little higher on the pass side. but then my bumper was crooked too. the hood is all the way down to the bumper stop and I dont see a way to get it any lower.
the side gap looks good, so maybe the headlamp is low.
Oh well, its a truck.

Great, now I can't unsee it. Like an optical illusion. That would drive my OCD nuts.

But you are right. If you follow the gap between the front grill and his hood starting from driver side to passenger side the gap clearly gets wider.

Time to get the hammer out, lol.

Too bad it wasn't a 10mm wrench to be found, and fix the problem. Like you said though, just a truck.

Its not the headlamp, see my previous post. Use your front grill as the reference point. The gap starts long before your passenger headlight.

Now you can never unsee it!

Mine is like that! Bumpers don’t adjust for leveling hood anymore. I used a 1/4 thick round hard felt furniture pad with adhesive back and stuck it on the metal indent. It’s level now ?

brilliant! I noticed the bumpers arent adjustable. I am going to put a felt pad on the driver side and see if that levels it out.

you're killing me!! you know I am OCD and can't let this go

To be honest, what really caught my eye, was although the gap is gaining from driver to passenger side, right at the far p-side edge, it looks to be coming back down again, almost like the hood is bent.

Sorry, I can't stop myself, lol.

Installed black wheels I bought from a member of the FB group. Undecided if I want black lug nuts or not.

My truck came with black wheels with the black package but the Lugnuts were chrome and it bug the shit out of me and I bought black Lugnuts. My kid works at one of the local tire shops here and he was able to get them pretty cheap for me
