What did you do to your Ranger today?

[OFC Ranger]

My middle of the night project, something I have been wanting to do since probably over a year ago.

Ever since I got my truck new I thought my factory fogs always seemed hazed. Well I took them out to paint them to match the rest of my amber lights and discovered why. Its a two piece light and the two components are not sealed together with anything and quite frankly dont lock up tight either. Kind of a garbage move by Ford considering the money they make on their products.

Anyhow sealed them up proper. I'll reinstall in another day or so once they have fully cured.

The first picture shows the left fog light where I cleaned the outside AND inside of the lens (as best I could), the right fog light is just cleaned on the outside to show you the garbage seal on them.

Got some time before work to toss them back in.

I've already posted in this thread, but feel like posting again. ?

I've gotten tired of sticking my key in the gap instead of in the ignition cylinder, so I 3D-printed a cover from PETG. It could be better, I'm still pretty new to 3D printing, but it works well! The next step is a dashcam, BuiltRightIndustries center tray mounting system, and a Garmin since my truck didn't come with factory nav (And my distrust for Google Maps runs deep...)

I was in AZ, Sedona and Jerome couple of weeks ago and so another Ranger, I like what they did to the valance but I can not find who made it. Anybody knows where to find the addition to the front bumper? I know it say badlands but no luck on the search.

Badlands seems to be the winches from Harborfreight. https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/winches.html
What you are looking for seems to be a sort of a which plate/bulbar combo. I would also be very curious to know how it mounts, as it sits low compared to the level of the frame/chassis where winches normally attach to in order to be functional and not esthetic. So far, my take is with esthetics only.

The inner bumper is from Shrockworks.

I would really like to see images of the version with proximity and adaptive cruise sensors support.

If you click on the picture on their site you can see the front sensors. Looks like you'd have to relocate the ACC to the upper part of the grille.

Edit: This ones a different bumper.

That is not the ultralight winch mount, that is the full front bumper, I would not be interested in that.

I just realized that and edited my post. ?

I still want to see that mounting brackets on that shrockworks. As I did myself the chinbar, it’s not easy to achieve a proper mount without serious cutting.

And I say this with all good intentions. Actually after seeing the post above I will be cutting it again to relocate it higher.

Kinda liking that solution. Will have to inquire on the dimensions between the top of the bumper and the bar. If my lighting would fit up there than that would be a great solution to add a winch and retain the lighting.

installed alpharex luxx and Goodyear window visors, removed my level kit, and took a nice picture.

I aired up the tires.
it had sat for 47 days without being driven, and the weather got colder....so they were like marshmallows on the curves.
some were down to 24psi.
I added winter weight air and greased the TPMS banjo nut and I am good to go until mid January when it'll either be a balmy early spring, or an arctic vortex will make me wish i was dead.

My money is on the arctic blast.

Ohh Isee, he was using a badlands winch, but not sure about the bumper. It looks likes it was attached to the where front hooks and the valance is replaced by this front bumper.

Thanks, that was an awesome setup and simple.
