This is what I did to my Ranger today....added the tailgate applique along with changing the Ford oval to white/silver and covered the camera housing in Magnetic to match the applique.

That painted appliqué looks very sharp on your white Ranger. ? The dual exit exhaust looks pretty cool too. ?

New spark plugs. NGK Ruthenium HX. Old plugs weren’t bad for 74,000 miles. The NGK’s were supposed to be pre-gapped at .032, but uh, no, that didn’t happen, they were about .024.

Not a ranger of course, but this was something I couldn't do until now; Got a 3D printer for my birthday.

(Mock up, hence why I'm holding it in place. Still figuring out mounting options)

During my last dealer service, a tech found the driver's side front strut was leaking. I was quoted $1,685.00 to replace it. Just one! So, after much research in these forums, I ordered Eibach's Pro-Truck Stage 2 coilovers and shocks. Installed today and I'm pretty happy with the ride. It's much smoother, but it'll take some getting used to the 3" lift in the front. I'll give it a few weeks to see if I want to lower it a bit, although it's arse doesn't stick up in the air like a stink-bug anymore.

I'm also wondering what this is going to do to my freeway mileage.

I put the same ones on my truck. Really pleased with them. I ended up setting mine with about 1 1/2 inch of lift. Didn't hurt my mileage at all.

What exhaust is that? Looks great! Can you tell me the diameter of those exhaust tips?

My wife was visiting her folks overseas, and found these little appliqués in the local equivalent to a dollar store which claimed that they'd keep the mirror clear during rain; put them on over the weekend, and got to try them out today. TBH, they work better than I thought they would:

Total nightmare, but after discovering during an oil change that my transmission pan heat shield had been peeled back and the pan itself scratched up, decided to pull the trigger on the ARB skid plates and install them today. Not fun on my own and without a really flat area to work, but it’s done now…

They’re amazing skids but the instructions suck and the install is a bear. You’ll be happy with the ARB skids though.

I took the ranger into the dealer today for them to install new belt molding on the driver side door, only 55 bucks, not bad. Also had the works package done. This time it cost me 96 dollars, last time it was $74. I remember when it only cost 56 dollars. ? Whats everybody else paying?
