That’s the Torque pro app right?
Torque doesn't support ios...I use blue fusion and custom designed my gauges...Jack has Torque...

Took a quick photo at work and then took out the front sway bar.

I plan on removing my front sway bars next time I rotate the tires...

Mountains2Metal lower grille insert.

Fastest mod I think I’ve done yet. Easily under five minutes. Fit and finish was top notch. (Having a plastic body panel rivet tool makes the job an absolute cinch)

It's really easy. Pro tip; you do not need to remove the skid plates. I learned this, after I took his skid plate off. lol.

Why do you remove the sway bars ?
Taking the sway bar out increases off road. It really isn't that bad on road either. I've had mine off for 6000 miles and, you just slow down a bit more for turning right.

Installed the Velossa big mouth. I think it is super cool, even if it doesn't do anything. But surely it helps funnel more air to the intake. Either way it is fun.

I did "port match" the plastic radiator cover.

Now I want the Mishimoto intake.... Slippery slope.

This was actually for a detailing chore on my Mustang that I will be tackling this week, but the Ranger will surely benefit from this - I unpacked, cleaned up, and organized all of my car detailing stuff and set my detailing cart up.

I did a few small things on the Mustang to jump start the detailing; I cleaned the wheel wells, removed some decals from the front fenders, and then wiped down the engine bay.

Great idea on the detailing cart. Inspired me to do one too. Still organizing but it's a start.

Three year Rangerversary is coming up next week. I plan a big clean and detail day. :)

This crappy weather we are having is supposed to be better by then. We had graupel yesterday.:crazy:

I take it very easy around corners to save tire wear on pavement...and with Eibach level springs/struts, it's already stiffer than stock...I hate transitioning across uneven pavement such as going diagonally down a driveway onto the street...do it too quickly and it rocks the truck (and everyone inside) very badly...

It took @Colo_Ranger about 10 actual minutes of working on it. 30min in total including looking for the missing socket and bullshitting around

How was the install? Did you loosen the front bumper?

These are next on my list to do.
