Thank you for the shout out, and thank you for your business and support!

Wheels and tires look fantastic!
Thanks, Gotta give a second shoutout. After leaving work I was admiring my new tires, and noticed a bunch of "scratches" on my wheels. :oops: I went back to the shop, and they looked at them and said is was just the lube they use. He showed me that it comes right off. I was relieved, and said I would clean it off myself when I get home. They insisted on cleaning it all off for me. 5 minutes later they looked great. :turkey:

I have been a little busy with my wifey's Ranger the last couple of weeks.
For an extra 5 horsepower I added some stickers to my tailgate and to my grill. I think they turned out quite nice, I like them.

I also added a new MBRP exhaust system, she doesn't know about this yet. I'm sure the 1st time she starts it up she will notice it, I hope she likes it.

Are those TuffSkinz stickers? They're the only ones I've seen with grill letters.

You did a great job and I think it looks really good.

Another question, how hard was it to get them lined up? I'm scared I'd make it look like I had just finished a pitcher of margaritas with a few shots of Tequila to boot!

That's awesome customer service. The only thing better would have been a coating of 303 Graphene, but that's @AzScorpion level of detail! =p

Yes on the Tuffskinz.
Just make sure you clean out the indents in your grill where the letters are really well and then wipe them down with the alcohol pads that are included in the kit. Putting them in was actually pretty easy and I was concerned as well but you'll have no problem getting them to look good.

I've been concerned about getting these wheels. The posts I've been reading mention that they stick out quite a bit and get scratched up while off-roading. Your truck looks pretty sweet!:rockon:

The upgrades continue…. I had my icon leaf springs installed today using the second option where you replace the 3rd leaf for 1.35” over stock … wow… words cannot describe the difference over the add a leaf that it had. It went from rough and bouncy to smooth and solid! Night and day difference. I did lose just a bit of height/ rake but I think it helped my pinion angle because 95% of the take off shudder is gone and it’s much smoother!

I like that tailgate spoiler. I may add one to use as a handle while opening/closing the tailgate. Need to figure out if it will fit under my RetraxPro XR cover.

Do you think the 3M tape will hold ?
So far so good had for about three months no issues we will see how it hokfs up after winter

Installed the CTEK leads onto the truck following @AzScorpion's pictures. When he said the ground bolt will clear, he wasn't kidding. You have to open the latch to whatever that thing is and, as he said, don't drop the bolt!

Then I ran the wire (8' for was more than enough) to the intercooler opening, holding it in a few places with zip ties.

It'll hang down below the opening to stay out of site but still easy to grab and plug in.

The little silicone dirt cap will come off the short lead and fit onto the extension lead. It's a tight fit and I thought it would tear but it's okay.

I used plastic conduit to protect the wires. Got it from Harbor Freight. Easy to install after the fact too.

Great tip and a perfect reason to run up to Harbor Freight! Thanks!

I've never done any serious off roading so I haven't had any issues with that. FYI the high point on the wheel spokes are about even with the high point of the tires, so they don't really stick out, but definitely aren't recessed either. Could be an issue if your up against rocks though.
