First 2 mods done on my new Ranger STX 4x4. This truck is just a runabout farm truck for me, so didn't need a fully loaded truck, just a good honest work truck. This one fits the bill plus still gives me a bit of luxury here and there. So far, I really like this truck.
I did a couple easy mods:
1. Tailgate assist strut. Very easy and great quality for money
2. Platinum door sill kit. Easy stick on, looks great. However, one gripe...the front sill plates don't seem to have a protective coat on them, so there are some minor scratches from shipping. The first set I was sent were really bad. I sent those back thinking they were defective with no protective coating on the front plates (rear plates had the protection). So I give these a solid 3 out of 5.
In the wings...I have the trailer brake controller standing by, going on this weekend.

has anyone else noticed that their biceps are larger after installing the tailgate damper?

I think it's the extra resistance encountered by lifting not only the tailgate but also the sturdy rod of the DeeZee mechanism.

I installed Eibach rear shocks on my tailgate so I get a workout every time I need to open it.

Between that and Porn Hub I'm getting ripped forearms.
Mine was moving awful slow in the cold weather so I added some Lucas Synthetic Tailgate Damper Fluid Conditioner.

im looking forward to at least a 2 inch increase in penis length when i install mine. that would put me at about 5 give or take a few millimeters. just to clarify, fully erect, not flacid
