If my Amazon 6" burns out, I'll have to check out the DD version...

Where did you get that grille! I like the 3 light set up.

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.

Well congratulations on the new wheels but I did not hear what happened to MP1......have a link to the info? Enjoy your new truck!

 

[OregonRangerTremor]

No, but I am looking for ideas!

I have been thinking about these 6" light bars from Diode Dynamics for the front grille.

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.

I have those, easy install and very powerful lights.

Thanks Craig. I was in an accident back on 4/4/23. Crazy it was totaled because I was still in my neighborhood only doing 25 mph. I'm just glad I had full replacement value on my policy as it covered me for todays value not book value. Now I'm just thankful it's done and over with and I'm back in my Ranger.

Those look really nice! I saw someone on here who has them mounted in the slots to the left/right of the license plate which is where I'd like to put them.

Well that is sad as hell. It will make a good project for someone. Smart having the better insurance (I do too). At least you were not injured and you have a new ride now.

That is great to know! I was wondering how good they are in real world use. It is a really clean look, and I like how they've leveraged existing holes for the mounting hardware.

Thanks TJ. It feels good to have this mess over with and be back in a Ranger! Expensive but good. lol

Forget about the money. We only have 1 life…live it well!

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. ?

I think we need a vote to raise @AzScorpion debt limit. All in favor: Aye.

They use existing bolts, no drill. Brackets fir very well. Run wires down through an open "channel" behind the headlights, down to where the tow hooks are. As far as the lighting; on dark country roads they create more useful light onto the roadway than the headlights with the high beams on.

I'm thinking you went WAYYYYYY overboard

 

[Kristina]

Of course I did. I'm really going to try and keep this one clean.

It took one MP to realize under hood should be also clean. Which Nr MP it will be when you stop eating while driving?
