What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

[Colo_Ranger]

Got my Trigger Controller in today. I am going to be installing it tomorrow. First impressions: This thing is much stouter than I realized. I wanted the 4 version, but it was backordered with no restock date and Wild Horse 4x4 had this one in stock. Ordered Monday night, got a call Tuesday, arrived today.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day because I am wiring this in, and I have to rewire my GMRS radio. My antenna mount doesn't work with the new ditch light brackets I installed, and my new ditch light bracket from Midland showed up today too. Yay!

Lights are getting wired in tomorrow too.

yes I got TWO different door sill protectors.
Reviews from the first where bad in that the pictures were misleading in the size and they were right. So I order the bottom ones that are plain black with antiskid with the possibility of overlaying the first on top of the second. Likely will not even try because of the antiskid but that is what I was expecting but worth the try.

Just got a vLinker USB to OBDII connector. Time to get FORScan installed on my laptop and poke around. Going to try the mushy brake fix.

Mushy brake fix is going to be my Forscan project

Discount Tire emailed me that my tires arrived. 255/80 17 Toyo AT3s. Super stoked to get them on.

When you do the mushy brake fix, it sure is loud when the ABS pump goes crazy for 10 seconds or so. That's for the front brakes, it will make a racket again for the back two brakes.

A couple days ago I received the solder seal kit and deutsch connectors.

Email… Confirmation from Redtek. Later received tracking info from DHL.

Just got done. Can confirm that it helps and I almost put myself through the windscreen afterwards.

Factory 17" Magnetic Grey. I can't seem to find an aftermarket grey that completely matches with my magnetic trim. I really like the factory wheels too, just wish they had a slightly different offset and deeper dish.

Might be a slight bit before I can get 'em on. Got a mystery click on my new Fox install I want to figure out first.

I might end up with a small, possibly 1", spacer to push 'em out a bit. But I prefer the pizza cutters over the roller skates.

I agree with you opinion on the factor magnetic grey wheels. I like them and also wish for a better offset for what I wish.
Now I have to look up pizza cutters and roller skates. You forum people always give me too much home work.

Edit: so pizza cutters are "thinner" tires and roller skates are "wider"?

ReadyLift Intrusion Bars Yesterday, aFe Intercooler Pipe and Turbosmart BOV today. Thanks to Stage 3 and their super fast shipping.
More goodies coming next week.

Got my Tremor flares in yesterday. Got the primer, paint and clearcoat ordered today. I'll be color matching them to my truck (Lightning Blue). The pic is only showing how I'll have them positioned when I paint them. Scuff, prime, paint and clear, then "bake" them for a day. I've never been a fan of 2-tone paint jobs or chrome, so... Also have the dark tinted side marker lights coming to complete "The Look".

Yep, not sure if anyone else calls the wide tires with too much offset rollerskates, but pizza cutters is commonly used.

Pro tip: I would not prime these new flares if they are raw plastic (they appear to be). I would get some Bulldog Adhesion Promoter, 1 coat of it, and paint right over that. It's possible they are factory black primered already. Test by wet sanding a small section w/ 400-600 grit, if the water juice produced is black, they are primered, if it stays relatively clear, they are raw plastic.
