It was a good day!

Let’s see….
  • installed my rear Eibach’s - the front coil overs will go on next week sometime.
  • Removed the bed decals and the ecoboost emblem from the tailgate
  • Added black tailgate letters and my Ranger Things sticker
  • Did a full wash and light detail to the whole truck. I’m trying my hand at detailing as a hobby and have a TON of Adam’s Polishes stuff coming!
  • Painted the front tow hooks hot pepper red
  • Installed grill lights (forgot to turn them on for the pic)
Then I went to Costco to fill up my tank. $4.19 for premium!

Overall was a nice and relaxing day with the Ranger!

Thank you ! Did you have to do anything special in the front of the truck to mount the lights? Did you have to modify the M2M grill? Could you just bolt through the holes from the plastic clips?
Paul, I had to modify the light brackets and the m2m grille. If you don't have a lower grill yet, then get the Putco grille. It sits farther back which will give you enough room.
My brackets had to be moved forward to use the clip holes which meant drilling a hole towards the rear of the bracket.
The Grille I had to remove 2 pieces each side enough to fit the connector to the lights. You can't see it, though.

an antenna mount was going to be my guess too

Knowing OFC, this wont be an ordinary antenna either...might be communications with the space station.

Well people are finally getting close enough good grief. Started piece together components for my gmrs setup.

You know me a little too well and everything's got to be in the absurdity so of course I'm getting a 40 inch dual band antenna which would give my truck an overall height of over 10 ft so I need a method to fold it. lol

Truxedo tonneau cover.

The measurements the instructions gave were wrong. I ended up tightening the clamps by the rear glass first. Then rolled out the cover and pushed the brackets together where they fit well with the cover's bars, then tightened the tail gate clamps, followed by the middle clamps.

Red Ford Performance tow hooks. Normally I hate red dress up crap, but the Tremor should come with red tow hooks. They match perfectly with the red grill and my stripes.

Then 1" Faction Fab wheel spacers. No vibrations at highway speed, they seem to be top quality.

1" is perfect for the Tremor wheels. They put my offset at 16.6. I think 15-20mm offset is perfect with the Tremor flares.

Two car washes since the first did this....

Drive thru type.

Normally I had wash but the off and on rain + black truck was getting annoying.

Found a sprayer to get the soap out of the bed and back of the truck. The drive thru place where the soap was left only offered another run thru the same system that just left a ton of soap on the bed and tailgate.


I'll just use the hose and bucket when it rains again a day from now.
