Glad you found a hood....hope it works out. I knew a regular wrap would not hide the dimples but maybe some 3M textured carbon fiber vinyl might do the trick. I have a wrap on my hood, it is 3M shadow black and textured. I had a couple of hail dimples on mine before I had it wrapped and you could never tell.
Glad your wife was okay. Looks like your Ranger held up very well. I hope you are able to find the parts you need to repair your Ranger. God Bless!Ford Taurus turned left in front of my wife at a red light and the Ranger struck the quarter panel and spun the Taurus around 1.5 times and it ended up over 50 feet away from initial impact. Taurus airbags blew. It was totaled.
Yes the front frame rails are turned toward the right side but luckily it’s in front of the suspension. Coolant system did not rupture, AC system did not rupture, and no airbags blew. Truck runs and drives just fine and the steering wheel is even still straight.
Totaled? Absolutely not. If we break a bone do we instantly go commit suicide? No, we let the bone heal. I’m in the process of healing my ranger. If anyone has a stock hood, even if it has some damage on it, I would be interested. They are on national backorder, everything else is available. Yes it’s getting some front end upgrades..
Some of y’all can nitpick about piddly stuff all you want but this is one hell of a great vehicle foundation. I know this for a fact now.
An extra coat of 303 Protectant and it’ll shine so bright, no one will notice.Fender flare buckled and goes on the trash correct? Not so fast for the $300 they cost. Heated and reformed. Yes it’s still imperfect on the bottom lip but that’s ok. I’m imperfect too. Yes I realize things like this cause some of y’all to loose your minds.
I think somebody out here sells that but he probably charges too much… I’ll just get it at Walmart ha ha!!
Don't be so sure about that.
?

If either Alpha Rex or Morimoto offered that as a standard option I would upgrade pretty quickly. Maybe it's a generational thing, but I don't care for the Tokyo Drift light show. Otherwise for about the same money, if you keep your eyes open you can find a mint pair of OEM Lariat LED's.
I was prepared to live with it but I was not excited about the light show on the Luxx. I like the AlphaRex is enough, for the money, I would choose them over some used lariats myself. Now that I got rid of the light show far as I’m concerned they’re perfect.
