Installed some Morimoto XB headlights and red tow hooks (putting on the FX4 skid plate) today. Getting ready to install a Mountune intercooler, but I paused and ordered proper T-bolt clamps. The type it should have come with already. :/

Will need to do a proper alignment, but I did mark the OEM lights on the wall just prior to removing them and matched the Morimotos to the same lines. They were way off out of the box. BTW, that IS glare above the line. So much for "getting proper headlights" camp. This is as much or more glare than the Morimoto drop-in replacement LED 'bulbs' on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. :p

Which mountain is this? You in Eastern Oregon? A different view than what I an accustomed to. Everything I see is from the West Side of the mountains.

Beautiful Pic by the way!

Went ahead and installed the intercooler (since the removal of parts is about the same as doing the headlights) , but no hose clamps for now. I don't need to drive this anytime soon, do not a huge deal. Pretty happy with the fitment so far, which I'm pretty hard to impress on these days, as far as aftermarket goes. I did have to wash out all the hoses and charge pipe as there was quite a bit of dust on the inside of them.

Did you install the rotors on the wrong side? I see stickers saying passenger side and it looks like the photos are taken from the drivers side?

Andrew, are you just messing with Jason? :giggle:

I can't tell for front picture (suppose one would see the oil filter if that were the driver side)....but the exhaust is on the passenger side....so that rear rotor is correct.

Clearly you have not studied the intricacies of the Ranger's components that are under the vehicle and attached to the frame. Let me be of assistance...

The pictures are indeed correct. As Daniel / @dapakattack , mentioned the muffler for the rear, also if you look at the Delta joint in the front, it also says passenger, and then the easy way is the calipers are all on the backsides of the rotors. Just in case you are still in doubt, here is a pic of the Front Drivers side.

and if @Dr3wDrop, you are messin' with me, No Soup for you!

Installed the lower grille last night from mountains2metal. High quality and secure in place - looks very nice in-person. Tomorrow I’m planning to install the Ford Performance grille.

Probably don't want to hear this, but I like your front how it is now. Maybe change the logo to different dark colors. The new grille, ehh... not sure. I did an RTR Grille, cause I have an XLT.

BUT.... You're Lariat Front End looks pretty dang good as it sits now!

What did you end up going with? I've been on the hunt for better stops.
Powerstop, and the Z36 Pads (Towing or Lifted) - it is much better than stock, but I think I am going to bleed the brakes again. Dealer won't touch it, lame excuse of "oh that is how all the brakes are". I like a very touchy sensitive brake for all things.

Got the Rotors from 4WP, had to get the pads from a few different places as one place did not have them everything.

Unless anyone around me has ForScan and can do the ABS Purge for me. ;)
