Check the etsy link I had posted a couple pages back. I got some for 33 bucks multiple different styles and colors with real 3m tape backing.
Bit late for me but for others it might be a better deal. Not unhappy with what I got but that is cheaper.

Yea im thinking of making something similar for my expedition to add some fog lights. Similar to your design
If you have access to a pipe bender it could turn into something sweeter. The top bar at least. Mine is made from 50mm square tube, 3mm wall and the top bar is 40mm 3mm wall. If you are building it yourself be prepared for a lot of put it on, take it off, adjust, start over ?. If I can help with measurements, please let me know.

I put some "stickers" on my Ranger today. If you enjoy 4-wheeling, and you haven't checked it out yet, look up 4WD 24/7 on YouTube.

I fell in love with these Rangers long before they ever came to the US market on a trip to Australia. Thus the theme. Plus I absolutely love 4WD 24/7!

Me too! They were around in my country but I definitely went into 4wd-ing by watching that show(and many others), then I’ve found this forum!

Great build Glocker!

Upper bar tacked in place.
These whiskers start to grow on me, their creator ?.

The parking sensors are happy too, fully operational.

2021 Ranger XLT Tremor - Cactus Grey

I picked up my brand new Cactus Tremor on New Years Eve at about 4PM. I worked the overnight shift and got home at 6AM to install my Auxito LED's. My wife helped (thank goodness for her tiny hands) and we got high and low beams, as well as the fog lights in. What a difference they make!

While this truck is brand new, I had a '19 XLT Sport 2x4 before so I know the lackluster halogen lights on these trucks all too well. I will be doing LED turn signal/running lights next, but I don't want to deal with the hyperflash. Any suggestions to combat that?

Here's a couple post that say the Lastfit parking/turn signals won't hyperflash. The second has links to Amazon.

I think there might be a setting in Forscan to fix the hyperflash

Dave...the install went very smoothly, until I got to step #4, where it states, in capitals, "FULLY TIGHTEN BOTH BOLDS". :headbang:
Spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what a BOLD was ! :crackup:
After much contemplation, I saw the light, and figured the instructions ment "BOLTS". :clap:
Then, step #5 states remove the tailgate "cabel" !!! Again, spent time trying to figure out what a "cabel" was...had it not been for the pictures, I never would have figured it out...:LOL:
Good thing it didn't state to remove the "cabel" from the "bold"...I would have been totally S.O.L. :LOL:
Do I get a rebate of some kind ???
