The Truxedo Low Pro was delivered this morning. Install took about an hour...still have some tweaking to do, but so far I like it.
Good quality, but instructions are for sh-t. Easy enough to read, but extra parts and brackets included that have nothing to do with the 2019-2021 Rangers.
About 2/3 of the instructions actually are used for our Rangers. Knock wood I've put togather mucho stuff over the years so it wasn't too bad.

Gave the Ranger it’s usual bi-monthly wash. Took it out to Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial.

Pretty truck.
Good time to pause and reflect on our veterans' sacrifices on our behalf.
Well done.

Thank you Chris :bow: and most definitely. Took my time to make sure the flag was waving in the wind perfectly to have a good face on the reflection and pictures. :flag:

Was this part of your "sticker of the month club"? :giggle:

It's gotta be good for an extra 5hp. ?

Haha. Close enough, saw it on a Facebook ad for some mystery box. Googled the sticker and found it on Amazon :p Oh, Gary definitely gives 5 more HP :D

Was farting around in the garage today and finally took the the time to do a couple things I've been meaning to do since week one.

Aligned the fenders...

And got rid of the front "spats."

"Aligned the fenders" is that a thing with rangers? My drivers fender was real bad, almost as if it had been hit.

Yep, it's a thing. Ever since the '19s. I think their jig is off at the factory. To be honest, I'm surprised many leave the factory that way. Must be that union pride you always hear about. On almost all of them the hood overlaps the fenders quite a bit. My driver's side was worse than the passenger's side.

Open the hood, there are 3 10mm bolts accross the top of each fender. Loosen those up, pull the fender out to where you want it. Tighten back up. Easy peasy.

Ok, it’s there since 2y almost, yet I don’t think I’ve bragged about my diy swing case. Aluminium box, completely removable, including the hinge and frame, which are made from mild steel.

This man gets it.

I think we need to start a "built not bought" thread just for those of us who can't help ourselves.

passenger side was fine, fixed the drivers side the day it was delivered.
