Tilting headrests!? Damn, I dont think my 2020 has those. Also, digging the white with the sports package. I don't think I have seen that combo in the Bay Area.
My 2020 Oct build had them but not the buttons to actuate them. So pretty sure most 2020 models have them! There is a thread on here to do the mod to make them a push button fold. It will only work though if your mechanism was there already but not used.

No, but I am looking for ideas! :wink:

I have been thinking about these 6" light bars from Diode Dynamics for the front grille.
https://www.diodedynamics.com/stage-series-led-lightbar-kit-for-2019-2021-ford-ranger.html

And I thinking about some undercarriage lights, too.

I am picking up a Yakima OutPost HD rack tomorrow (thanks to the Memorial Day sale), so I might mount some lights on the rack, too.
If my Amazon 6" burns out, I'll have to check out the DD version...

Just about everyone by now knows what happened to MP1 so now it's time to start over and build MP2. I kept telling myself I'm not going to buy a lot of things for this one yet somehow I keep finding more stuff to buy. lol One main reason I wanted the Tremor package was for the suspension and larger tires. I already did these (twice ?‍♂) on MP1 and I just didn't have time to do it again before leaving in 2 weeks. So far I'm super happy with the package and it rides really nice!

I found MP2 at Corwin Ford in Spokane Valley, WA while it was still in transit. The salesman David Low was a pleasure to deal with and kept me informed the whole way. It arrived at the dealer the day after MP1 was declared a total loss so it was fate.

I took the rear headrests out of my '19 because they deleted them shortly after. I thought the magnetic trim was part of the Tremor package? It doesn't say anything about the Sport package on the window sticker.

Ahhh, might be then. The magnetic trim was sports package for my fx4.

AHHH! You gotta slow these posts down!

My head's spinning - most mods occur over the course on months, not hours!

Your truck will look like this by tomorrow! =p

We flew out to Spokane,WA on 5/16/23 to pick up MP2. My salesman picked us up at the airport and when we got to the dealership MP1 was all cleaned up and ready to go. There was no funny business and everything we talked about was done and nothing change as far as pricing. MSRP - $1.250 rebate plus a $200 doc fee.

I had the dealer do a spray in bed liner which they send out to Custom Trucks who uses Mil Spec liners. It’s just like Line-X where the sand and de-gloss the bed (they prep it the correct way) before spraying it on. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. I also had them pit on the Ford trim-fold hard cover which I believe is a rebranded Bak flip. We were leaving in 2 weeks for vacation and there’s no way I’d have tome to do this back here in AZ. They did a great job on both and the price was reasonable. $550 for the bed liner and the tonneau cover was $1,279 + a whopping $46.00 to instal it. It was worth every penny. ?

Gotta say that I have the same setup on mine, spray-in and tri-fold hard top. Now, you need to put the gasketing around the tailgate and it will keep your bed in 99% cleanville from road crap (*Disclaimer - wont help if you throw beer cans/bottles, manure, used cat litter, AZ sand, fast food catsup paks, etc... you know how you are ??) Honestly, I've only had to sweep out my bed a few times from torn mulch/rock bags and the like. Car wash gets maybe a medicine cup of water run-in from cover/tailgate?? never worried about it since it was not much (see above "...you know how you are..." ?)

Was trying to figure out what that horrible mess was on the rear window :LOL:

You standing in a hole? :lipssealed:

Just giving you grief man, glad you're having fun with new one!

I'd expect nothing less buddy!! :like:

I washed it twice on Friday and was surprised there was no water leaking from the front of the bed cover. I had a little in each corner by the tailgate which my '19 never had. I'll have to get a seal and see if that helps.

Standing in a hole? I was standing straight up, it's the uneven bed height that's throwing you off. ?

Yeah, that's usually where I get water on mine - BTW it was Ford factory on truck sticker (installed by Dealer).

@that408guy

On my SCAB I probably had it but there was a recall & I noticed
the button, where there was none before. This had to do with
the child restrain access? Anyway I don't think the SCREW had
this issue, but the mechanism should be there on the 2020.

I thought to myself - what? This guy has a build thread already? Dang, Dave, you really got cracking! I have a feeling the AZ sun is begging you for some tint, too?
Me sitting around for weeks waiting to get my truck is dangerous. Between scanning the pages here and stuff I already had bookmarked my credit card was on fire. lol The weather hasn't been all that bad either (a few hot days then it cools off) so I'm taking advantage of this nice weather. Plus some was from my '19 and I wanted to get as much done now because we're leaving for vacation in 10 days.

The mobile tint guys are here now, they should be almost done. Now I need to contact Torrie from Unleashed and get this baby tuned. ?
