What did you do to your Ranger today?

[HarryManback]

Looks great! Which Light bar is that?

Thanks! It's the Rigid 120312, which isn't as bright as the 120313 that replaced it, but got a decent deal from a forum member. Combined with the ditch lights (if Ford Performance ever sends the rest of the parts...) I think it'll be perfect for my application. I like the flood/spot combination and it really throws a lot of light.

Edit: the other consideration was that the newer light would have required I use the 15A upfitter switch, while the 120312 allowed me to use the 10A switch instead and save the big ones for future use.

Edit 2: BTW, the first picture with the light bar is so washed out simply due to the flood lights of the light bar. I couldn't escape it, and it did weird things to the camera. And the 120313s are supposed to be twice as bright.

Great wheel choice (although I might be biased lol). The bronze really looks awesome against the black!

Haha thanks, coming from jdm imports most of my life, i already leaned toward the bronze/black look.

Too many hours. Swirl correction on front and back. Gave up for the door and bed sides. Threw graphene on it all. Good enough until November trips. I admit defeat by the detail. ?

Looks pretty good though now… ?

What bug guard is this??? Looking good!!!!!

Put some armor on my tremor today. Installed engine, transmission, and transfer skid from Shrockworks as well as lower shock skids from 589 Fab. No photos cuz not that exciting to look at the underside of a truck, but have a little added peace of mind when off road.

Next projects on list includes adding the Rough Country rear diff skid, screening cabin air filter entry (mouse shit found in glove box), Ford Performance tune, and an oil change (maybe should have done prior to installing skids).

Thank you, no bug guard, just super shiny

This happened on 10/13, got it back on 10/18. Driving, heard a loud noise, thought I popped a rear tire, pulled over and inspected. Appeared fine, shot back into the travel lane at a high rate of speed and approximately 250-300 yards, heard a loud pop and hissing from rear passenger tire. Pulled over and changed the tire. Go to start the car and it's not starting. Sometimes, it would start and run for 2 seconds before the idle would stall out. Allowed the engine to cool down and unplugged the battery for 15 mins. Nothing, could get me back on the road. Tow Truck dropped off the vehicle at the dealer. They said can't get me in until 10/15, but should be fixed in a day. Picked up on 10/18, they claimed a sensor in that "area of the rear pass tire" was unplugged, had something to do with the fuel system. Went to finally get gas after getting my truck back, and could not fit the nozzle inside the cap. That night the tow driver, claimed it was vapor locked and stuck an object inside to get the door to open??? I then, stuck my finger inside and could feel it, push the trap door open. I got my funnel that's next to the jack and attempted to stick that in, to see if it would open, using the stock part. I felt around and realized the tow driver had, pried up an interior clip, that I was able to push back into place. All is good now! Just felt stupid, can't even change a tire and go about my day without figuring this out.

Thanks for the info! I already started looking for a deal on the 120312, but might just pull the trigger on the 120313 from Stage3. I'll probably regret it when I find myself needing the 15A switch (Aux2) down the road (a good light bar is my priority however) Thanks again for the details!

Redid my board across the back to work with my new in bed storage boxes. Flat sheet hauling rack works as built no problems.

Just joined the forum, so while I didn’t actually do this today….it is the most recent thing I’ve done to my Ranger.

Quick backstory first: I’ve had my truck about two months now. There aren’t a lot of Rangers floating around our small coastal town, so I’ve been getting a ton of comments and questions at the pumps, car wash, grocery store etc.

Funny thing is that one of the most frequently asked questions tends to be “Is it 4-wheel drive?”.

Lol, maybe it’s the 20” wheels that throw people off? A few quick pics for reference:

Anyway, I finally decided to put the question to bed and ordered a “4x4” emblem for the tailgate. “Installed” it late last week:

Another question I get asked is “Who makes that truck?”. It just dawned on me yesterday that the only “Ford” logo visible on the outside is the blue oval on the tailgate….so the question finally makes sense. Problem now is trying to decide if I should add “Ford” to the front somewhere, maybe on the sides…..?

Ugh. First world problems just suck.

Haha. Apologies for the long-winded “first post”…..just figured I’d jump right in with both feet.

I finally installed the front shocks from the falcon leveling kit I bought from @Mugatu that has been sitting since April.

I was surprised to see the passenger side shock was leaking with only a little under 36000 mi on it. All the evidence was on the back side so there was no way I could have known without removing it.

I tried to also install the SPC UCAs I got, but as luck would have it I received two passenger side UCAs. Its a good thing I started on the driver side and was able to notice before I installed one. Not happy that I'll have to tear into it again and I was hoping to get it aligned this weekend but now I'll have to wait for the RMA from Stage3.

Fox 2.0 and Icon Tubular UCA went on today. Really happy with the ride and the look. Will have to get better pictures on level ground

Well, is it 4 wheel drive??
