Why are you apologizing for being a man?
I was hoping to one day having my Ranger become "Damperized", but for the foreseeable future I will just have to "muscle" thru the arduous chore of manually opening and closing the tailgate. :muscle:

Steve, To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. :sadface: Yes I highlighted it so everyone can see. I think I might have to put you on ignore now.?
WAIT !!! You mean I have been "MODERATED" ?

RETIRED!!!!
Got the Diode Dynamics SS3 fog lights on. Taking the factory fog light housing out was a lot more work than putting the new lights on. Still, not too bad of a job. I did put my truck up on ramps for more room to work. I did get some good advice from the original lighting gangster, Sid @Msfitoy Can't wait til dark to check them out.

Grabbed a pair of Raptor LED fog lights to replace these jokes.

Raptor ones looked better from the start

Huge difference, not just in colour, but beam spread. Yup, still raining.

Old was basically a mini flood

New have a nice, tight spread of light and heaps of adjustability, just have to set up.

Also did the next step in cutting down all the chrome. Wildtrak mirrors. Have same colour guard vents and door handles coming shortly.

Looks to be a perfect match for the painted section on wheels too, which I was hoping for. Works well with black windows, black window visors and black Ford badges too. It’s getting there, for a truck that wasn’t meant to be modded.

I think the red lettering looks good. If you did something else like white on the grille it would be to many colors in that area

I noticed that the washed fluid had frozen over so I drove to a shopping mall underground parking lot. While waiting for the fluid to melt I went and bought new set of -22'C washer fluid and a funnel to put it in. Bought this new "conifer fragrance" washer fluid for that extra lumberjack flavor.

So a half tank seems to survive freezing without cracking.

A little side project while I'm waiting for some other things to get ready. I guess it's sort of modeled after the RTR graphics but with my own spin on them

I've got another set of lettering coming in to reposition those to flow better with the graphics.

Screwing around with some discarded vinyl. Subtle difference? Can anyone spot it? Yay? Nay?

I'm just having too much fun having discovered knifeless tape.

I defrosted my Ranger today.

I don't know about the Graphene but Turtle Wax Ice causes the frost to bead. :LOL:
It looked like little white chocolate chips all over the hood.
