Hi guys

I picked up my Ranger on last Wednesday and it is awesome ! ( ordered on feb 11 )

things I have done to it
installed heated seats , a custom ratchet straps and tow straps box and set up to carry 4x8 sheets flat , installed mud flaps , tail gate shock for soft open and had to use my old tri flip tonneau cover from the Colorado ( kinda fits 6' box ) as I can,t get a bacflip 4 for a while

ok I looked at the date code on my tires and there are

dot tire code 15m39 on hankook dynapro atm tires ????

I like the old code better ? I looked on the goggle but could not find anything on it ?

have they changed the way you can tell the date code ?

thanks dave

I'd love to see a picture of your setup to carry 4x8 sheets flat.....

I don't know about the date code on the tires, sorry.

Where did you get your tailgate shock? No one else seems to have found any yet.

15m39 is the tire plant code. The date code follows that in a raised area of the tire. Pic for reference...

thanks for the tire safety group tip

brain fart . after I posted I went out to the truck this time with a flash light and found the tire code RFH3418 . not sure what the RFH means but the tires are week 34 of 2018

as for the tail gate dee zee it was from the Colorado and I had to drill 1 hole in the post to make it work .

I ordered the blue ox base plate and a ready brake today but the bacflip4 is not available yet
