Cute pup. I like the grill, might borrow the idea.
Here is a crazy idea, let’s replace FORD with Roush and really confuse the hell out of people. ?

Im in process of making a much more professional video using some urban and rural locations where I work, but here are some pretty lame clips by comparison. Shows basic functions also some night shots of rear rack setup with running / sequentials.

I still have some other things to show but im saving those for the other video.

Moving on without the deflector...could never get used to the shape of this particular AVS bug shield...too misshapen and looks melted...the way it's mount is sandwiched between the seal and hood increases the thickness requiring hard slam in order to latch properly...so I'm taking it off until a better one comes along...

I realize this may be blasphemy, but what about the ones that adhere to the front of the hood?
Lower profile and don't look quite so weird at the outside edges to me...

That's what I'm looking for...but the existing options are kinda gaudy and not very functional as bug deflector...I've seen AVS molded version on the other vehicles that are better...the one for Ranger is heat formed/hand made so quality is pretty inconsistent...

Are you looking more for functional or styling?

I have the Aeroskin II and I can vouch for about 99.8% effective unless bug flies in from the side (-.2). Driving Central valley CA is bug heaven in the spring-fall and it works. Had an AVS model similar to your old one on my GMC and it kept nothing off that I could tell, especially the "glue guts" bugs:LOL:

This it now

Yeah, it's not in "the norm" for looks, but it does the trick (for me) I saw that they have the model with 'LIGHTS' in it.. maybe Dave has a discount code?? :angel:
