What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Tracy Bowman]

1 year anniversary! 3900 miles, 2 trips to Dealer 1 for windshield recall the other for oil change...

No issues, and I still love this truck!

I told my wife I will be in the garage all day celebrating

Just saw this! Happy Rangerversary, Loren!!!

Ready to tack on the hoops and fully weld and paint tomorrow! I prepped the metal for paint before assembly to save time later. I will just have to grind welds after. I didn’t realize when I ordered it has a rear winch plate. Looks great already.

@AndyMedic awesome build!! Looks great.

It’s been warm, washed the Ranger and installed my M2M grill insert. Got some tint quotes too, I’m interested in the ceramic tint to help keep the cab cooler in the summer.

Thank you!

I have ceramic tint including my windshield at 70%, you can’t really see it, and it made a big difference. I had 50% in my last vehicle in the windshield and it didn’t make it much darker, but it was a lot cooler. I’m not sure if it was better tint or the darker shade though. I could touch my dash midFlorida summer without it being hot.

Finally got a half decent day to install my black, smoked chrome ovals and my dealer replaced my grill.... Oh and had my Bak Flip MX4 replaced due to water getting in between the layers and freezing.

First verify the spacing for the upper front holes. Seems I tried to move my tie downs up and the spacing was different.

I can now confirm! Tie downs do NOT fit those upper slots. Spacing of the holes is just slightly wider.

Increases my curiosity as to the reason for those upper threaded holes.

Installed my new tie downs for the middle of the bed!

Yes, I did do it within about 5 minutes of the package delivery. So what! Ok ok... maybe I am just a bit excited about my new truck. And maybe I am being a bit stupid.... "maybe" being the key word.

Still, it is one sweet ass truck.

I don’t get to post in this thread as I haven’t done anything since the first month of owning it but today I did do something with my 21 Crew XLT 302a, I paid it off.

I’ve been very aggressive with payments and got it to a point where it just made financial sense for me. For now, I am waiting about 5-8k more miles so I can jump back in this thread with new, larger tires.

@Friday yet? Are those the genuine Ford tie downs? If so, how much did you pay? If not can you share a link?

Yep. Genuine.
Yep. Seem a bit overpriced (IMHO)
Yep @ $80 with shipping.

Couldn't help it. Really wanted the 660# rating of the OEM parts.

The Ford Performance exhaust is a really nice option! Way better than just the tip.

Over two weeks for decent reply. The rest of you...

Thanks. I have been looking at the $569.99 Black HDX set. Realtruk has a rebate going on them right now and I tempted to pull the trigger. I was hoping for something with a little less drop, but these come up in all my searches.

Here’s a bit of a PSA for you…

These are mine after a few winters of salted and brined roads. They need to be blasted and repainted.

I might also replace those “grip” portions with something else - might also just leave them off.

The powder coat finish is a bit thin. If I were to do it over again, I’d paint or Raptor liner them before installing them.
