Just installed the Stage 3 Motorsports Raptor LED lights. Super easy and thought I would have to remove the grill again but thankfully it worked out and just had to partially remove the top.

Got snow this afternoon so decided to stretch the Rangers legs and take her up to the mountains. I must say I’m super impressed with the engine and transmission. It can be so smooth and fast when it needs to be.

There’s pictures posted in that post you replied too. Not sure if you missed it or something is wrong with your connection. I recommend getting the grille from Toyota Accessories Guy it’s about 60-80 dollars cheaper.

Got the key ring installed. Can’t believe Ford didn’t have these installed it looked so empty.

That’s disappointing. I’ve had my Huskys in and out a few times now with no issues!

Andrew your setup is exactly what I was shopping around for last night and then bam I found your post, couple of questions..... Did you leave the Icon stage one at 3" for the front or shorter ? How much did the rear actually lift if any? Any concerns so far with tires too shallow in the wheel well, any top rubbing pre mature when flexing thru rocks etc? Did you consider the Fox kit stage one if yes and did not chose, why? Does that key ring light up or just filler ? Thanks in advance..

Hey glad you like the build and have similar plans.

1) don’t have the icon set up yet but will this week. Can’t wait!! From the sound of it I’m sure I’ll be around 2-2-5 inches to level it out. The rear isn’t going to give you any lift unless you use a block or leaf springs.

2) the tires fit perfect on the stock suspension with no issues. I’d imagine you could even probably go up to 255/80 without issues but would probably be pretty tight if truly off road.

3) I was actually going to get the Fox kit from Ford but when I talked to my dealer they didn’t even want to install it. So after doing some research I decided to go Icon for an extra 200ish-300 you get a much better front shock and is rebuildable. I’ve had the Icon set up before on the Tacoma and it was super nice. I also had a Fox 2.0 kit on a Jeep Wrangler which was super good too but it also had teraflex bumpstops which made it even better. The fox 2.0 is nice but the Icon is even better.

4) key ring doesn’t light up. But he does make a white one that glows in the dark.

Installed the rear shocks and deleted the muffler pipe sticking out. Still debating if I should just do the fronts myself. They want 330 to do the fronts and alignment.
