Alright I’m super pumped to share with you the naked rack ‍♂ Haha.

Frontrunner outfitters has started receiving their US version racks for all of us (cuz we all need storage space) and I’m really happy with the product.

Lights and some other off-road type accessories are coming soon, along with some big beefy 35” tires.
How is that mounted to the roof?

Its that time, 10,000 Mile service.
First things first I put this big boy up on the lift and inspected everything for damage/wear and tear. I didnt find anything alarming so I got started with the service.

Pulled the plug and watched the nasty black oil drain out, I was not surprised to see it get on the crossmember.

After draining the oil I found that Ford decided to locate the filter in what seemed to be the dumbest area possible.

Upon further inspection I found that in the wheel arch there is a rubber mud guard that can be easily removed to make room for my oil filter wrench, needless to say it was much less terrible than I initially thought.

Once again it seemed that a mess was going to be made, thankfully they thought ahead once again. Under the filter is a channel that helps the oil flow out of the back of the engine compartment which keeps the oil from going everywhere. After I replaced the filter I hosed the area down with some brake parts cleaner to rinse the residual oil out and we were back in business.

My parts supplier recommended an FL-910S instead of the FL-400S, from what Ive read either work fine.

And here is the obligatory post oil service photo.

Cheers and I hope this will be helpful to at least one person in the future.

What did it take to install the sub? Looking to get one put in, but were there low level outputs on the back of the radio? Would love some more info on the location and size of your install!

Do your front tires rub at all while turning? Your truck is super nice. Its going to take me a while to get the mods done thatbI want. I got mine tinted and next is the spray in bedliner.

How difficult was it to get the cover off of the passenger-side of the dash? I'd love to remove mine to do some cosmetic work to the Ranger Logo that's on it.

Alright so I’ve been wasting away and getting fat enjoying the married life. Thankfully I got around to another lil diy and installed some pseudo “RAPTOR” lights about two weeks ago. Then today I finally got around to taking a photo of them, without further ado....

Also, gosh darn it’s been cold.

Cheers
