But it really does protect them. Mine are going on 4 years now and still look new.


Just enough to get by. ?

My truck sits a lot since I work from home. So I picked up one of the NOCO 2A on-board battery maintainers and the NOCO A/C receptacle for a clean install.

Used a 2” hole saw to make a pass through in the plastic beside the radiator that is there guide air through it.

Here is another good one of them. That was before the Ford Performance exhaust with black tips.

thank you

First fluid change of the diffs & transfer case? If so, Let us know what the old fluids look like. Mine looked like grey milk, it was so full of metal dust. They magnetic drain plugs couldn't collect it all.

had a shop do my fluid swap today. Trans fluid good, tcase good, front diff good, rear diff was milky shitty. 50k miles original fluid. Seems a common issue. Shop recommended 30k interval for next

That's why I went that route. It was super easy and no splicing/tapping into anything. The Viofo is a really nice unit too. The only reason I didn't go with it was because the Thinkware has the highest heat rating of them all which I need here. I've watched all of Vortex Radars videos and he has some good comparison ones and this one compares the 4K cams.

I went with the Viofo A229 there was a $50 off coupon making it $209, the additional gps mount and hardwire kit to use in my other car was $28, I also purchased the lens filter $12.90 and 64GB card 16.99, so for $267 I’m set for both vehicles.

today the 5g got new shocks, springs, struts, and an alignment. about two inches of lift all the way around. seems like a dramatic difference in front end feel - so much better. looks nice too. and if i wanted i got room for bigger rubber in the future .
but, the antenna clears the garage door by less than half an inch so no upping tire size anytime soon.

Skyline Towers w/ HD Bars purchased and assembled... now I wait for my canopy for 7 weeks

Thanks!! I did all of mine and only the transmission fluid had any color left. Diffs & transfer case were horrible. (I'm in 4x4 quite a bit which likely explains my t.c. & front diff compared to yours). I should have done them at 2000.
It's common on everything, there's always break-in metal dust.

 

[Friday yet?]

This past Monday was my 2 week mark for ownership. But I can already see that this Ranger thing is getting addictive.

Already ordered and installed:
1. Ford bed mat.
2. Ford tailgate protector.

Ordered but not here yet:
1. Hood struts - from Redline Tuning
2. Cargo tie downs - for the middle spots in the bed. Went with the Ford parts. Can't help it. Like knowing they'll be rated for 660#'s as are the others. But as many here have said, that price just seems a bit extreme.

I will NOT be mentioning "overpriced" about the cargo tie downs to the Warden! She'll be asking if I spent $80 with some outfit called Levittown as she's paying bills and reviewing the credit card statement. On the other hand, I've got bigger issues coming with the Warden. Once she looks she'll see that I ordered hood struts and cargo tie downs... on the same day. "Did you also order something from Redline Tuning?" Most likely I'll be getting a bit of a talking to about my over the top truck infatuation.

Next? No clue..... yet.

I swear to God that graphene has made a big difference on my truck. And I've only done it once!

It seems to keep it cleaner, make it easier to let just soap and water take off dirt, and I swear that it seems like snow doesn't stick to it as much!

Being someone who doesn't do waxing (and hasn't since the early 1980s), I'm actually looking forward to the first spring day that I can do a second graphene coat.

For all the crap I give @AzScorpion, I gotta say that graphene is pretty awesome (even though I really like the damper too, I can't make it publicly known that I like it as much as I do - I have a thrashy rep to keep!).

Is that Soupie going to the dump again? And it's not even sunny out!

Well, at least we'll all know where you are when you're not around next week.

I did my Dif fluids at 25K and they said it was nasty. I'd advise others to seriously change out your fluids way before the recommended mileage.

fine soupie you sold me. that first day of actual spring(unlike the 30" of snow I got yesterday in NH) I will stop by and you can coat up both Trucks at once. Red and Blue for the USA.

I like it!

Well, for me, I watched loads of detailing videos and the clay bar and ceramic stuff was more effort than I wanted (but amazing results).

To me, graphene is like the modern wax. Rub it on, let it glaze (about 2 minutes), then buff it off. And far easier to buff than the old wax days.

But be thin with the coat (Kate used two-thirds of a bottle!) and spray directly into your microfiber. I like using microfiber sponges and basically touch the nozzle to it, a little angled, and give it one spray. For the Ranger I'd say I used 20% or less of the bottle.

If you don't hold it close when spraying, it'll make little dark spots all over the place (much to Kate's chagrin on her pearl white car!).

Red & Blue for the Win!

Dang, I got to look up your posts and see what you're towing, we'd love to get a trailer for summer fun!
