Picked it up from the dealership and with 100mi on it drove out to Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountains!! Installed the Short antenna first though hah

Cades Cove is such a beautiful place, and a beautiful truck accents the cove nicely. The family and I try to get out there a few times a year, especially in the fall when the leaves are changing colors, so it helps that we live fairly close to it.

Is this acceptable? ?



I'm still a VW guy at heart and working in VW Parts I get the employee pricing so why not lol. Also I believe you get a shirt for this so I wear XL ?

Today was Morimoto side marker lights, swapping the 4WD selector for the TM part, playing a bit with FORscan and adding Terrain Management and the Off Road screens, and (drumroll please!) a tailgate damper!
Sadly we lost two more lost souls today.
Drop you man cards off at the door.

Picked my Ranger up from the Ford Dealership who has just completed installing my Led Lightbars that was fitted to the roof and bumper bar. They are wired up to my SP 9100 switchpro. Future projects will be installing DD Rock-lights. Eventually the Standard leaf springs will give way to Parabolic options and then look at Fox Rear Shocks (if compatible). not that this Chariot will be taken off~road! Few pics.

Not wasting any time lol. Finally got my taillights back and it looks way better!! Ford should have a "smoked" set of taillights for the "Blackout Package" IMO.

Also installed the Lariat headlights and "Raptor" grille last night, but the grille lights don't work and also the marker lights now?. I remember reading about this issue before on here so time to do some searching and reading ?.

Does BLISS still operate with the smoked out lights. How did you smoke them, window tint film?

Thanks.

Spray tint. I don't know all the measurement ratios or anything, not sure what was used to tint them, maybe some mist coats of black paint or something, I can ask. But she sprayed 3 coats, then cleared. doesn't affect anything. I know some people just tint the clear and do it that way as well.

I didn't want a tint wrap as that may affect BLISS and deteriorate over time. I had tail lights spray tinted on my 2004 Jetta and they looked the same 10 years later as the day I had them done, and still looks good today with the current owner.

I work for other dealer as well and no one here even knows for who, but this... no! :D
But at the same time we have seen some members who has stored some items from Taco ages and now using them on their Rangers. Of course they deny it as long as their Rangers stop to function properly. Not calling out any names. Yet. ?
Technically the new VW Amarock is a Ranger underneath so I don't feel I'm in the wrong ?.
