What did you do to your Ranger today?

[dapakattack]

Yesterday had to change a flat (tpms showed a drop of 1 psi every second or so on the original Bridgestone Dueler with 13,000 miles). Was able to get off the highway and into a parking lot. Nothing beats changing a tire in 100+ Texas heat ?. Stopped at Discount Tire and they were able to repair it (a big Thank You to them.)

Today, I did the Forscan bleed procedure and bribed one of my brothers with Rosa's breakfast tacos to help bleed the brakes. They were getting mushy again after doing the Forscan procedure about 9 months ago (thanks @Steven D Tipton @Silver and others for contributing to the Fix Your Mushy Brakes thread).

I think they may be M6, they are smaller than the M8s for the tie downs. I'm not positive on the sizes, I had ordered M6 eyelets for the missing tie downs but the were too small and they seemed to fit those three holes in that rear tailgate pillar. I thought they may get in the way.

Let us know what you do, you do some neat things.

i added these ring type anchors to the stock location and the holes in the tailgate pillar. They pivot so they can lay flat and not get in the way when not in use. I feel like I have almost endless configurations with these. Looking back at my Amazon orders, I used M6 - 1.0 x 20mm for the pillar screws. Longer may work as well, but I wasn’t sure of the depth and erred on the side of caution. The anchors are rated to 1500lbs as I recall.

I like that a lot! That is perfect and 2 cm would be long enough to go through the BedRug too.

Thanks for the perfect solution for my needs. =)

Looks great, what did you do for those nice looking lights.

Thank you ! I used this kit from Nilight.

I had to trim around 18” off each strip so it fit on my bed cover rails.

I tapped into the factory bed power receptacle.

I mounted the switch and then fished the connection wires to the front of the bed.

Purchased with Ford Pass rewards and Installed my Ford Performance Grille. I modified my previously installed Raptor lights to fit this grille with some modification. I much prefer the 3 light setup and was determined to install them.

On to the next mod…. Fender flares, hopefully it will be an easy sell to the Mrs with Father’s Day coming up.??

Technically yesterday, BUUUUUT:

Scooped up the Ford branded Bakflip MX4 off Craigslist for $500 and got it installed

And, no picture handy, but finally installed my UPR catch can after 3 weeks of waiting for arrival.

I've been slowly getting rid of the chrome on my L. Blue Lariat. Replaced the side emblems with the black vented inserts from Ford Performance, have the raptor grill. Only thing left is the ecoboost badge. Puth this on yesterday....quick 10min job!

Edit: The lettering and accents look chrome in the picture but it is actually a grey/smoked color. In person looks like this.

Did my own version of the Splash Package. Thanks to https://vinylwraptoronto.com It was a lot cheaper than the dealer. Not to mention Ford didn't offer this option with the 2021.

Cut the grass, bag the grass, dump the grass.
Washed off the pollen and gave the windshield a scrub with Bon-Ami* and a coat of Rain-X.
The wife took it yesterday to see her mom a couple counties away and out that way a lot of bugs like to commit suicide. I used her minivan to take the dogs to the vet for their shots. When you have an 80 lb dog and a 93 lb dog you need a minivan.

*I'm told Bon-Ami is the only cleanser that won't scratch the glass. Been using it for years.

Looks fantastic and thank you for the link and inspiration.

I installed my Ford blanket in the back seat. When I bought my 1999 250 Lariat a couple weeks later Ford sent this in the mail and it has been keeping back seat passengers warm in every truck since. First truck with heat back there so may not see much use in the new truck.

Then installed the running boards so my wife can climb in. What an easy install. They had the 2 hanger bolts in place from the factory and took less then 20 minutes
