Finally cooled down enough to get the Eibachs swapped on. Took about 2 hours with a bathroom break, FedEx delivery and not in a rush. Only took it for a quick drive around the block but I can notice a bit of a difference in the ride. Doesn't seem to feel like it's bottoming out at the 25 mph through the same dip. Still debating on swapping the rear shocks to Eibach to match since I already have a set of Fabtechs.

Rewrapped the microfiber cover with the correct Ranger one. No more tape at the bottom. Some heat will help out with the wrinkles.

Hey forgot to thank you for sending the pins for the clockspring connector. I have one more question. I have all the parts to do this myself but I noticed the heating element I got from ebay (looks similar to yours) has 3 leads at the end. I have a black, blue, and red. I'm assuming black is ground, but how did you wire the other two? Do both just get 12V from the fuse box?

I don't recall off the top of my head but the directions should tell you. 1 should be constant and the other ignition?

It was looking a little too plain there after the wrap. Goes well with my blue calipers.

Where did you get the decals? Mine has the stock ones but I really like that blue. Trying to match up with my Harley since it"s blue.
TIA

Since the BDX wifi and file transfer capacity sucks so much I scored another NGauge for datalogging and better gauge aesthetics. Still have to use the BDX for tune transfer which will still be a pain.

And it's done. Welded up the second skid plate bracket and it looks just like stock again. Relocated the active cruise control module cause I completely spaced and forgot the ACC was getting blocked by the winch. Ordered the relocation bracket this morning but decided to modify the stock one myself and it worked out saving me a good chunk of money. Anyone interested in a relocation bracket before I cancel it tomorrow? Lol.

I ordered this same winch mount, but decided to go with the hidden one instead. But that looks really good.

Installed my Velosatech Big Mouth intake and took comparison shots with the scoop i made last year. Had to trim the Levels intercooler mounting bracket a bit but otherwise fit as designed. Time to see if I see gains in mileage.

Did the Amazon grille lights. I decided to mount them with screws instead of epoxy. I trust screws more myself.

Thanks to a buddy of mine for modeling and printing these extensions I asked for. There's was some work involved to get them to sit nicely. With textured paints (wrinkle and then hammered) and multiple coats of paint (semi gloss, matte clear) I think it's pretty close to matching the fender flares. Used the leftover weatherstrip from the flares to help match it to the flares. Waiting for them to dry some more and attaching with 3M two sides tape.
