Nothing to exciting while I'm waiting for parts. But ran a lead from the up fitter to the rear for a pair of Diode Dynamics SSC1 red backlit flush mount reverse lights. Running along the existing wire loom was a challenge but possible with a few cuss words, beer, and patience. Not sure if I'm gonna just tie the back lights into the license plate lights or use a module to tie into the brake/turn signals yet or not. I'll wait to see how bright the red back lighting is first. But at least the heavy lifting is done ahead of time.

Winter wheel/tire setup installed. Shipment arrived before Christmas but was missing the hubcentric rings I had ordered. Now just waiting for snow which has been light so far this winter...that is sure to change eventually though. 285/70r17 Toyo Observe GSi-6 LS on Black Rhino Stadium 0 offset, taking over from 295/70r17 Ridge Grapplers on Fuel Shok +1 offset. I'm hoping 2wd traction is much improved on the slippery stuff as the Nittos were a bit of a wild ride! I also noticed I still need to get a few pics with all 4 installed. Perhaps when the snow hits.

I remember the joy of taking my F350 onto the freeway median in the blizzard...because I can and no one can stop me lol...I do love driving in the snow but I don't miss the salt slush...

I hear you there! It's one of the nastiest aspects of the season when it comes to driving. I'm also hoping the Ranger holds up well as I'd like to keep this truck for 5 or 6 years, maybe longer. I've always had my vehicles treated with Krown annually but tried Corrosion Free on this one as it seems to have a better reputation in these parts. Also bumping it up to every 6 months, before and after winter.

Hah yeah I've loved those cars since day one. I picked mine up 16 years ago and it's still like new. Only 19k miles!
I've got a 2014 GT with a ProCharger P-1SC-1 Stage II onboard. I am just a touch past 12,000 miles on it. It's my garage queen baby, but when I do get her out of her home, she is fun to drive!

Sounds like a fun ride for sure! My Terminator is a ported Eaton with mild bolt ons and a dyno tune. It's been that way since I bought it and still holds its own against most of the modern muscle out there. It's a long wait through the winter season!

Added the 3D printed trim bezel to my ignition. Glow in the dark.
Super difficult install. Had to reach all of the way over from the passenger seat. ?
