Money Pit??

Where did you mount yours? I’ve had one for years but haven’t tried it in the new truck yet.

I 3D printed a little mount and used double sided tape to attach it below the cluster and an angle that was easy to see from the drivers seat.

Great post. Let's see:

$3,200 - A. R. E. cap
$80 - Mud flaps (just got those... installing this weekend)
$400 - bed rug
$480 - 2 swing cases
Probably another $200 in miscellaneous trim pieces...ie. tailgate lettering, front grille lettering, window tinting for cab and limo tint for cap, window visors, yada, yada, yada.

Still looking for the right bug deflector and brake controller. May consider in the future a small lift and larger tires.

Been worth every penny. Love the look and get a ton of compliments. More importantly however, it does what I wanted it to do and is a great replacement for my 2014 F150 FX4.

Nice, it looks good there!

Never thought of that... I bought my wife a new oven, fridge and Dyson V11 because I felt bad buying everything for my truck!

Lol... you're not going to believe this story but it's true:
I helped my Grandfather (God rest his soul) install one of those "newfangled" washing machines in his garage which he bought for my Grandmother back in 1973 (I was a senior in high school then).
Up until then, Nana was still using a washboard (it was the deluxe version with the glass corrugated surface) to launder their clothes, hell, she would "cook" starch on the stove for my Papa's shirts!
The washer was a Frigidaire, she was deathly afraid of it because it had that convulsing up and down agitator...
I loved that man dearly, even if he was a bit "frugal"!

Scout's honor!

Just found mine in the cabinet in the garage I had it on the Tacoma. I mounted mine in the upper left corner of the headliner. Like my — Dash cam I ran the wire to the OBD Port down the a-pillar After taking off the trim. Coiled the extra wire under the dash and plugged into the OBD port. I will calibrate next time I drive it. I even think it has boost pressure on it. Not sure how it will react to Ford's OBD I suspect the same as any truck.

Love that CAP. Three grand that's a lot of money to pay for fiberglass cap. You must have ordered a lot of extras.

I think you're right, the one posted above on the page shows it on the screen. I'll have to dig mine out and mount it somewhere!

Love that cover. Three grand that's a lot of money to pay for fiberglass cap. You must have got a lot of extras. I have a price that one that high

Yeah...LED lights, fully carpeted and added the Yamika roof racks. Plus, the rear lock is configured with my key fob.

Lastly, I live in Ft Lauderdale... everything is expensive here.

I like it a lot. But I was ready to pay for it except that I know that I'm going to get the redesigned Ranger (or Tacoma ) in a few years when they get redesigned so I want to get stuff here that I can possibly use on that even though they're going to have a redesign the bed dimensions might be the same

I think that picture is from before I 3D printed the mount for it. Now it sticks out at a 45* angle from the dash and is easier to read from the driver seat.

Just window tinting and husky mats so far for me. The dealer already installed the lift kit and new wheels when I bought it.

 

[Kristina Alonzo]

You could sell them while they're still new and get some decent money for them. I got $325.00 for mine and the new ones were only $706.00 so it helps justify the cost.

My new wheels and tires should be in within the week. I was gonna ask on here what a reasonable asking price for the sport wheels and stock tires with 10k miles would be.

5% window tint
F bomb decals
Westin side steps
2.5 in rough country level
(New cv axle when my husband broke one installing the level... plus it was backordered so it took a month to get it)
Stubby antenna
Rousch cold air intake
Pedal commander
Ranger tailgate flag decals
Hood decal
Xd snare wheels
Nitto ridge grappler tires
Swivel bed tool box
Of course I still have a list of to do's.... like a bumper, the RTR grill and more lights..

Might be fun to see how much people spend on their Ranger after the sale.I was adding mine up and realized I spent over $3,000 on a 2 wheel drive Ranger !!!

I have never spent this kind of money on any truck and that doesn't include the dealer accessories that came with it and I paid for ugh..

I ordered - mostly from Real Truck:
Bed Rug box liner
GatorX hard folding tonne cover
Husky exact fit F&R floor mats

$1327 vs $2150 from Ford. Then I ordered Ford contoured splash guards online, and Covercraft custom fit Endura seat covers for the front. (Those Medium Stone front seats won't cut it with our dog)
Grand total = $1648

The only truck 'needy' add was the tonneau cover. I've installed the rest in/on every vehicle I've owned for the last 35 yrs. The cargo liners match up with the bed liner on this Ranger.

I think most here were getting between $600-$700 for their sport wheels and stock tires but they had lower mileage on them. I would guess some where around $450-$500 if they’re in good condition. Check out the members for sale area (a little farther down the main room age) and you might see some comparable to yours and see what they’re asking.
