Wow, that is really good! Prismatic has about a thousand grey metallic colors on their website. If I were only going by your picture I'd say I might want the color a little warmer (more red), but I wouldn't bet on getting a match closer than what you have!

Example: I was thinking the Prismatic Powders color Kingsport Grey might do, but I'd rather get an opinion from someone who has seen the colors in person!

Has anyone found a match for the OEM color Magnetic Metallic?
It's time to get my aftermarket bumpers coated and I'd like to match the existing trim.

I will add that not all Fox 2.0" shocks are the same. The Ford, SVC, and BDS kits all carry different part numbers. This would indicate different shims in the valve stack to tailor the ride to a specific market. I spoke with John at Impulse Off Road about this awhile back. He steered me...
I was debating the same thing... I thought I wanted the adjustable damping of the 2.5", but after speaking to multiple people that were part of the development process (Fox, SVC, BDS, even BFGoodrich!) and hearing their endless praise for the 2.0 I ended up going that route.
If I were crashing...
Likely all in your head... Shocks work by controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid through an orifice.
In the short term some heat can cause the shim stacks in front of the orifice to become more pliable and the oil to flow more easily. In the long term accumulated heat can break down the oil...
If you're going to go that far then go all the way and back half the truck with a custom trailing arm setup!
OK, maybe that's overkill, but it would be a ton of fun.

Being a fellow Michigander, I balked at the Machined UCAs that some offer. After speaking with BDS I ordered theirs. BDS is a Michigan based company that does really thorough development. The upper balls on their tubular arms are sealed and replaceable which makes them more tolerant of...
I have the Kuat Sherpa...

I love this thing. The 5' bed is just too short for other...
@the1mrb: There is a "theoretical" line coming off the bottom of the tailgate that wraps forward about where I've drawn the top of the blackout... It think that makes a nice place to end a rocker treatment. I was planning on Avery brand Vinyl wrap. It's a lot thicker than typical 3M stuff...
So I've ordered a bunch of parts and can't wait for the weather to get slightly warmer so I can actually install them... I know, I've gone soft. I'm not crawling around on the ground when it's 35deg outside!
Anyway, I decided to start slowly and work some Photoshop to visualize the change...
I REALLY like the look of the complete front valence on this kit. Can you share the details, like who makes it and where you got it?
The valence being complete along with the lines on the fender flairs parallel to the hood break look much nicer than the APG ProRunner kit...
(In old man voice) Back when I was your age....
...this would have been a simple relay change. Turn signals would rely on a relay that is normally Open, then when it gets power the relay would tell the signal to flash. You could change the behavior of the light by switching or even stacking...
Paul J -
In reading through the wiring supplied by DHMag, it looks like Controller B takes the single signal from each OEM turn signal indicator and provides the 3 aftermarket indicators with power sequentially.
Did similar controller boxes come with your lights?

I can't share a photo yet, but the sensors are located close to the center and either side of the integrated hitch receiver. SVC said they did quite a bit of recent development around this, so the position may not be the same as the photo they sent me, but the sensors are definitely considered...
This might be late to the party, but I really like the minimalist look:
I know this picture is on a Gen2 Raptor, but the Ranger version is being shipped to me now for installation. I'll have pics installed in a couple of weeks.
