What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Venom_z89]

So far, so good...but I hardly ever have a passenger so its likely not to be an issue.

Not much left for me to do, I think.
Window tint, running boards, possibly a tune, and a hood protector. That MIGHT be the end of it.

Vive la Resistance! ?

It never ends. Ahhh it never ends lol

Did a couple of things to Rally today (yep, I name all my vehicles), first thing added an ignition cover to give it that finishing touch that ford oversaw, and added a decal to brand her as a Nerd truck, as you can tell I'm going for a white and blue theme, also added the stubby jr. antenna (I don't use the radio but tested it and no real noticeable signal loss) and finally ...for now, changed out the fog lights for some Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro Sae yellow fogs.
Have a few more parts arriving in the mail in the next few days, just have to find the time to install it all.

I did not do this today, rather 1y ago, but today I’ve installed it back as I needed it: my diy sawing machine learning project, elastic, very foldable bed divider. And since almost everything includes welding, the hooks and mounting points are welded.

Having used my my wiper spray exactly 3 times since taking delivery, my “Low Wiper Fluid” light came on yesterday while I was running errands around town.

Slightly irritated, it took me 2 stops before I found a store with some fluid in stock. Poured an entire gallon in.

Now, realizing just how utterly boring this post is….I’m wishing I had taken some thrilling action shots of the fluid pouring into the funnel. Crap, what a wasted opportunity. Next time, for sure.

Anyway, I did snap a few pics while I was out and about looking at some properties, stopping at auto part stores and swinging by the bank….so all is not lost.

You’ll just have to use your imagination and picture a very non-descript, average guy in his mid 50s pouring wiper fluid into a funnel while hunched under the hood of his Ranger. If it helps, I was sporting some pretty darn sexy cargo shorts and a long sleeve “Dunder Mifflin” tee. Makes for some exciting visuals, right? Good luck getting those outta your head tonight.

Anyway, as promised….some rather average pics from around town to punch up the post:

truck looks great! like that grille.

Added some red accent to the tremor.
-agency 6 hitch shackle.
-Red Tow hooks
-red grille inlay & glovebox inlay.
Not sure I love the red grille lettering yet.
what you guys think??
Before:

where did you get the dash inlays?

Jim, You can get them here. It was one fo the first mods I did when I got my Ranger.

 

[DukeCanBuildit]

Who you kidding. If you were closer you'd be easy to convert....Beer, Tacos and a full detail. ??

Actually, if I was closer, I might walk out of Home Depot on North Dysart and see a Saber Ranger heading to the I-10 ramp at high speed, only to find one already newly installed on my truck.

 

[DukeCanBuildit]

That’s a winning combination Carl. I have this same duo and find an excuse to open my hood and ogle it every chance I get. ? ?

Thanks Dave, ordered a set for my dash and a spiffy new Ranger5G.com for the rear window!

Although, I did suggest they start carrying a "Damper-free Ranger" decal, or maybe they already do and are out of stock due to high volumes of orders????

FYI. putting the E on is a bear! But they look good when finished. I went with the black letters and it looks like it came that way from the factory.

I found the same when I did the letters on the tailgate. Thanks for the heads up, I'll try to bring an extra steady set of hands to the job!

The dash ones are the hardest because they're so small. When you wet them (especially the E) they fold like a wet noodle. lol I used a lot of soapy water (Dawn dish soap) in a spray bottle then had a q-tip and a really small jewelers screw driver which I used to move them around.

Thanks for the link....been looking for letters for dash and grill in colors similar to the Iconic Silver..several come real close.
Probably order some this week.

Hmmmm. I'll have a small microfibre towel on hand too.

I take it the soapy water evaporates and the sticky stuff sticks again?
