Picked her up from the dealership from having paint and dent work done during shipping or sitting at MAP. Also they installed the Ford XLP tonneau cover.
Truck looks good. Can't even tell where the issues were.

Since it had paint work done to it I have to wait a month to wash it and then it's 303 time.
Although they did clean it for the most part and the end got cleaned also.
Now I need to find me a good tire shine product. I have some gel tire shine for my car but it's sporty and I like that wet shine on it but for the truck I want a light shine to a matte shine

Do have a question for you tonneau cover guys that are lazy like me and go to the touchless car washes. Do yall take the cover off or leave it on when going through one?
For a matte finish, try Aero Cosmetics Rubber Care - otherwise, Dave‘s recommendation is great. Speaking of Dave…

I was going to get one of those but I rest my arm on the console all the time and it would be in the way. I found these hooks on Amazon and they ended up working out great. I hook my water bottle behind the passengers side and can easily reach it.

Don't mind the mess we were traveling the month of June and Annie brought everything we owned on the trip. :facepalm:

Telling me you’re living in your truck without telling me you’re living in your truck. I have a cottage you can stay in if needed. ?

? I might just take you up on that. Especially seeing as you gave David @subquark that mattress. ?

And you all thought I was lying when I said I love my Ranger. :inlove:

Mark,
I would recommend the longer size replacement lugs instead of the standard size that comes on the Ranger. They have a deeper surface area for the socket to fit over the lug. Mine are 1 piece, 1 1/4" long. Sorry, don't know the brand because they came with the BFG's that I bought from the owner. I would prefer black over the chrome, but they don't look bad. Hope this helps.

I got this one from Autoanything.com for $662. I didn't really want a full rack, I am a child of the 80's and wanted more of a "Roll Bar" look. If I could have found a manufacturer that made good old fashioned Triple-Doubles for the Ranger I would have been all over that. I have some cheap Amazon LED lights that are going to go on it until I can afford the KC HiLiters with the yellow covers.
im a roll bar fan too. cant find one that fits the 5g ranger and is affordable yet .

Morimoto headlights started peeling…I’d expect that from some cheap eBay headlights but the Morimoto lights are supposed to be much better quality. Anywho, was warrantied a new set and put them on today. Put a coat of UV protectant/sealant on them and will continue to do so every month or two.

I am currently torn between these and the AlphaRex Luxx/Nova series. This may very well sway my decision. This is the first time I’ve read anything like this concerning the Morimotos, but it makes me wonder how many more people have had this issue or a similar one. Hopefully your new replacement lasts without issues.

funny you quoted me today….I actually have a new driver side light on the way because the signal doesn’t work all the time. For example, I walk out to my truck and unlock it, passenger side flashes, driver doesn’t. Get in the truck, start going, turn on left signal, hyperflashes 2 or 3 times, then works perfect for the rest of the trip, sometimes even the rest of the day.

TRC has been really helpful, and I will tell you that these, IMO, are the best looking and coolest lights out there foe our trucks. They are expensive, but warranty service and responses so far has been top notch

Tell me about it! I think there might have been room for one more bag of junk. lol Funny because every time we hit another hotel ( we stayed in 10) everything had to come out. I had it down to a science by the 3rd one. ?

The bed wasn't much better. :facepalm:

contacted icon in regards to my damaged leaf springs that I got from them. they said they would take care of them no problem just have to send pictures. while I had them online I spoke over their delta joint retrofit. it isn't advertised anywhere, but I happened to stumble on it. part number is 614553 that's to retrofit their delta joint. it's a chevy part but works for our rangers with aluminum spindle. this would be a cheaper option for those who need control arms but don't have 700 to correct their angles.
