What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

[Dunneldeen]

I love mine! I think they’ll be all I use or recommend, for any vehicle.

I've used Proclip mounts on at least 6 vehicles now and probably twice that many phones. They have all been very sturdy and fit good. The Ranger mount fits tighter than most I've had and is very sturdy as well. Located just below the screen, a phone would probably be in the way (just my opinion), but I have other ideas for mine.

It really depends on the phone. I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it only covers the very right corner of the screen. There’s nothing there that I use, so it doesn’t bother me.

1. Tailgate letters
2. Garmin Drive 52 GPS
3. Hot chocolate mixer

The tailgate letters have a quality look and are raised and beveled. Will send pics as soon as I install them.

Loved my dependable Garmin Nuvi 52 LM but she came to the end of her life. Worked perfectly (In cities, rural and country areas) except for a one time issue...wouldn't accept an address that I tried to enter in. Not the device's fault but a mapmaker's error. Solution: find the business located closest to the address and enter it and it will put you in the neighborhood. Garmin has quality products and good tech support. I prefer using the Garmin as my primary GPS and then if any problems develop use my phone as a backup. This new Garmin will give me an excuse to plan another trip!

Chocolate mixer. I make hot chocolate every other day using Trader Joe's unsweetened cocoa powder, honey and organic milk to help promote heart health.

I think that is wrong as some people will not see the rest of the description......

Geez Paul, for a minute I thought you received chocolate Ranger tailgate letters in the mail. ? And I was thinking how badly I needed a set (or three) of those myself! ?

I bought a 4 pack of AirPods for my two sets of keys, and one of them hides in the toolbox in the back. If anybody steals my rig I will find them and introduce them to my friend Beretta.

I just received a 4-pack of Chipolo's including a red one to go with my Soupie! Our race red Supercab.

I'm kind of looking forward to loosing my keys or phone. We've already used the black one to locate my wife's phone and it worked great.

If you want to lose your truck keys...just send them to me...I'll take of the rest!

Power wire, speaker wire, 50A breaker, fuse/distribution box, carpet, MDF board, steel panel, COM paint kit, and a bunch of other stuff to support the GMRS install. I think I'm at almost $800 in install parts cost for the $400 radio. ? Don't tell my wife. I already got the Lariat speaker, speaker pigtail and speaker grill for the center dash location. I'm still working on adding the radio's remote face plate to the lower dash trim, I'm losing the right accessory plug, but I may just order that wireless charging kit and a second AA Wireless interface and hardwire that charger behind the panel there.
Antenna is going to go from the cab of the truck to the bed and then up to a mounted type n coupler on the fixed part of the tonneau cover. The antenna on the roof magnet mount will then have its lead shortened to reach the coupler on the tonneau cover and a type N connection on it. To guide that lead down the back of the cab on the glass I got a set of those clear command strip light string clips. Goal is to get those clipped just right so the antenna coax is not laying on the paint over the back corner there. Hoping it can go from the antenna, over the roof rack and over the cab without touching, then into the clips on the glass. The antenna coax is pretty stiff, so it may work.


I still have a few more things to order that will also use that power distribution block. I plan to add a 3rd brake light on the bottom of my tri-fold tonneau cover so that while it is propped in the full open position I have a visible brake like up there. Also, what to add bed lights under the tonneau cover. I plan to just tap into the wires for the EBC t-tap at the high mount light so that the truck's wiring is not tapped at all. But those lights are and the relays for them are not bought yet, but will be later after the radio install is done, but I will have the wires run where needed back there.

Please repost on the center speaker install on your radio when you do it. I'm planning a HAM radio install this summer and the center speaker does sound like an elegant (if not inexpensive) way to do it. If you have part numbers or anything to share for the center speaker, please pass them on.

I'll likely make a thread for this project when it moves beyond the getting parts together step. This week I'm starting to play in SketchUp to layout the components on the boards/steel sheet. Also, the speaker measured 3ohms, so I've just remembered to add a 25W 4ohm resister with heatsink to the parts list since most external speakers for radios I see are 8ohm, though the documentation for my radio does not appear to specify.

The grayish areas are to be carpeted 3 layers of 1/4" MDF board with the a steel sheet under the top layer and the backed 2 layers that will painted with Cyber Orange Metallic paint, the black box is the radio and the white box is the fuse/distribution block.

After a three month (I’ve lost count) wait, my custom painted, dash panels are here.

Quick test fit is positive, but will have to wait until weekend to fit properly.

They look black here

But in the light

Look ok test fitted in the dark, fingers crossed they go well with the carbon parts.

 

[RangerVol]

The ignition trim ring came in the mail.
Too bad the Ranger I've been waiting on didn't

 

[subquark]

Got this Friday and will talk about install on the What did you to to your Ranger today thread (it was a big PIA, for me).
