I have been up in the air about the ranger raised letters. However, the smoke chrome does look fantastic with the matching badges!
Thanks. I do love the smoke chrome over the original chrome, changed the look and makes it your own for sure. As far as the raised Ranger letters, mine aren’t the raised letter type. Mine are vinyl to match the sports appearance package. I actually like and prefer the embossed Ranger letters and didn’t want to fill them in. ?

Installed a Swing Case tool box today. Also started playing with Forscan and turned on Bambi Mode, Changed the Splash Screen, turned off the Auto Start/Stop and disabled the ANC ESE.
Fun Stuff!

Your install is missing the pivot lock...the little thing that keeps folks from reaching in and just lifting that thing right out of your bed. Did it not come with your kit? Mine didn't (bought the Ford branded one with my pass points) and I had to get the manufacturer to send me a lock.

Yes, it came with it. I took the pictures before I put it on. I guess I was too excited! ?

Nothing fancy made the 3 year old practice washing his jeep before we worked on the truck.

Nice to see a future detailer in the works. You can never start them to young. You might want to get him his own 303 account? lol

So ... soapy Soupie!

BUT I didn't scrub—too lazy—I wet it, soaped it, let it sit a few minutes (it's drizzling anyway), then rinsed it like nuts. Also finally pressure washed away those little orange tire inspection dots.

This was plenty good to rinse off the tree sap. I suppose it's inevitable that, one day, I'll actually pull out a couple of buckets and a wash mitt ... but not today. =p

LOL, I parked it in front of the neighbors house to reduce any sap this afternoon.

Secret note, it was pretty fun using the soap cannon. But please don't tell @AzScorpion, he only pushes me farther down this rabbit hole ... =D

How involved is it to remove that back trim panel?
Pretty simple, pull the to cap off the seat belt cover straight up. Seat belt main cover straight forward (4 clips). Top rail straight forward (6 clips).​
The trickiest part is the carpet, you have to unbolt the seatbelt, since it's behind it. Use a clip on the belt to prevent it from retracting too far before unbolting (Torx T50).​
