What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Scottopia]

Got the oil changed and the tires rotated. I have to say I was a little nervous after reading the other thread where his filter fell off but I have 100% faith in my local Brakes Plus. They've always been great and treat me right.

Ditto! ? "Got the oil changed and the tires rotated". Probably my last free OC which is both disappointing but also good. Disappointing because when I bought the Ranger I "asked" them to include 3 yrs of free oil changes (driving much more then than I am now) thinking I would save a ton and they wanted the sale. I have still saved a decent amount, but not what I had planned. Good because rather than 75k miles I only have 25K... so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Walked the lot at the dealer, what a depressing 2 minute experience. May have had 4 F150's - one new Tremor which just came of the truck and was unimpressive, 2 real Bronco's, 2 wannabe Sports... maybe an Edge... This dealer once had multiple lots packed... really shocking. As I am walking back to the waiting room a sales guy approaches to engage with... "can I help you?" Kinda unintentionally laughed and said with what?

Jim,
Just recently discovered that mine didn't come with a cover. Did you get OEM or after market? Looks like a straightforward install...

OEM, I think. L1MZ-6A949-A

After f**king up the first attempt, another nervous, hand-trembly session ended in tailgate letter success and I prefer this color to the one I had before.

Installed the lights on the chase rack today, also got the 3rd brake light wired up. I love this look.
I started installing the rack on Tuesday morning, decided to wait and run the 3rd brake light wire until I had the other lights so that I could run all the wires together. Ran the hot for the 3rd brake light all the way to the front and then could not figure out where to attach it to make it work right. Went to my dealer and talked to a tech who told me that the best bet was to run it to the rear to one of the taillights. He gave me wiring diagrams (that were wrong) and I pulled the wire then ran it to the back. Got it all hooked up this evening and I could not be happier. I attached the 4 lights to the #1 aux switch (25A) which I think may be a bit of overkill but these lights were listed as 51W and my math in a 12 to 14 volt system says they could potentially draw 17 amps??? The relay that came with the wiring harness for the lights (I did not use it) was a 40A relay. Thoughts?

What!!!! Whats that on your truck!!???

No way dude!!!

Air Design Tailgate Appliqué going on a 2022 Ford Ranger Tremor. Still in deliberation on installing raised lettering, or Air Design’s Tailgate Spoiler.
