What did you do to your Ranger today?

[BladeRanger]

Hope everyone is taking advantage of the warmer weather and enjoying your rangers. I just wanted to let everyone know that if you are looking to add a 12V plug in your bed I have a few options you can check out. I am working on a website, but for now I have them on eBay. Links are below. Let me know if you have any questions.

I like the one with the pigtail. Is this just plug and play?

Installed my Tonneau cover with my Bed rack today. Entire setup was less than $300 from Amazon. Rack is solid, cover is perfect.

Can you share were you got the Tonneau and Bed rack? Looks cool.

Simple install? Quick shipping?

Nope and Nope. Still waiting for shipping confirmation.

Yeah it's super simple. The outlet in the bed clicks into place with metal clips using a cutout that already exists in the bed. On the other end the male connector just plugs into the factory harness female plug located on the frame behind the drivers side rear tire. Then you can do whatever you want with the 6' pigtail to run your own accessories.

Both from Amazon, Tonneau cover is a Tonneau Pro, and Rack is a TMS. Rack is universal, but surprisingly easy to install, and has a static load rating of 800lb. The tonneau came with Ranger specific brackets but required significant drilling into the bed rails. So both of these mods require drilling large holes, into the bed. Not for the faint of heart. But I just added them into my cart and waited until the went on sale. Got the cover for $102 and the rack for $191. They go on sale often, good luck!

Indeed! My trucks not even built yet but I already have: seat covers, floor liners, Wolf Haus power doohickey, ignition bezel, locking hitch pin, and even a new key chain ready to go!

Thanks, I'll be ordering soon

Started with a pile of parts...

I cut the 10' PVC pipe down to 5.5'.

I then drilled holes into the end-caps and installed a ball valve spigot, a shrader valve, and a pressure relief bleeder.

The caps got sealed on and I painted the whole thing black.

Then it was time to mount it onto my Ranger.

So now, when I go out to the beach, I can hose off the sand before I drive home! It has a 6.5 gallon capacity, and is partially charged by the water pressure of the hose filling it. I also have a small bicycle air pump to further charge it with air pressure.

Swap the tailgate damper for the bike pump and every time you open and close the tailgate, you pump up your water tank! Regenerative Tailgate!

Installed new Rough Country (Bad word, I know) UCA's today, paired with an Eibach Pro kit set at the lowest setting (3"), and had my new Kenda 33's put on! Alignment tomorrow
