I changed my front tow hooks today and added the shackle to the back as well. Next is installing my front led light bar.

Looks awesome! Which front tow/shackle hooks did you use? I tried the rough country kit a year ago and the mounting holes for the skid plate were way off, so I bailed. Everything line up well for yours?

Upgraded the side mirror turn signals after seeing @AzScorpion post recently. Took a whole 5 minutes including looking up a YouTube video on removing the cover.

Made progress on wiring for my new front facing camera. Monitor now sits centered on my growing dashboard monstrosity. Waiting on some parts to finish install of on/off switch, and routing wire to camera. It's in the 90s today, so another time.

Had my Ranger Anti-rustproofed. A 4 day process. I was lost without my Rig. And the results from the Dinitrol finish is absolutely superb! The truck’s undercarriage is Matt black and I’m hoping it will delay any Rust. This coming week an ARB under armour plate system is being fitted! This will then lead to the installation of 16 RGBW DD rock lights.
less than two weeks ago a pair of DD SCR1 reverse light pods were fitted along with a pair of STRANDS lighting division Siberia MO (Strobe option). Wow,

Nope, despite it being a 2021 reg vehicle, the ani rust finish on the vehicle was basically non-existent. So I took it to be re-done. I’m trying to delay the inevitable.
to be clearer, I had the truck rust-proofed. Dinitrol was the product used. The two guys who completed the whole process looked like chimney sweeps From Victorian times…..
