Ford Ranger Christmas Ornament Bar Catches My First Grinch!
Ref DIY Project: DIY Door Ding Protector with Payback

I just parked my vehicle in a Walmart parking lot, the other day, and found forensic evidence that points to paint chip(s) on many of the blunt, chrome, acorn nuts on my Ranger's running boards.The Grinch or careless door dinger motorist must have had "unsupervised" passengers to cause this severe paint chip damage to "their" vehicle.:devil: The color, of the paint chip(s), were black and rusty - must have been a very old Junker. I feel sorry for the body shop repairmen because they won't be making any money from me. ;)

BTW... It is very funny to see people with 20/20 eyesight trying to make a decision to avoid parking beside my Ranger.:LOL:

Until a bigger truck parks next to you and opens their doors a bit too harsh... ;)

True, but bigger truck owners pay more for their vehicles and by this reason I believe they are more careful than car owners.;) Since you have a Lariat then I would also believe that you would be careful not to ding your truck.;)

Haha, yeah I do look out when parking, not so much because it is a Lariat, but because it's still pretty new. I tend to go for end stalls, or stalls that are a bit wider, and try to stand to newer vehicles rather than older ones, as the owners are usually more careful. Once my truck gets older and starts showing it's wear, I probably will be less careful about it, same as I was/am with my other car :)

Check the DIY "locked" topic below. As for inconsiderate - yes it was designed for inconsiderate motorist door dingers;)

LMAO. Did the same thing on my Harley's... Got tired of inconsiderate pukes leaning on my bikes. Also work good on the shoulders of your leather biker jacket. Nobody grabbed me from behind on my shoulders... :)
