Please note that there was a VERY long lead time for the press embargo from the event that video was shot to when they could release their reviews on 12/7/2020

Production pics of Cactus Gray on Bronco's and Sports.
Supposedly production paint pics at last summer's Bronco events. Please note that these cans appeared VERY early in the Bronco release timeline. My personal opinion is that these use pre-production paint instead of production...
Redacted my statement now that the production version of Cactus Gray has shown itself on Ranger. It's just a boring asphalt color I guess to slot between white and silver. Doesn't seem necessary to have triplication there...
Posted by the folks at Bronco6g, here's our first look of the Ranger in it's new for 2021 paint color, Cactus Gray. (Also Iconic Silver on Ranger to the far right and Velocity Blue in the background)
Strangely, I think the color looks better on the Ranger than Bronco. This certainly isn't the...
Can't compete with your '31, but can easily take the lawn tractor in age, HA HA HA!!!
About to embark on a twin 2-barrel carb setup to replace the big single-single.
I don't have a degree in engineering or anything (the better half of this account does, however), but isn't your design going to generate a fair amount of lift on the leading edge above the cab?
From what I can tell, your only solid mounting points for this over-rider rack is to the bed-rail...
From what im seeing, and with the handle being an un-coated piece (they didn't spray the texture onto the handle, the texture was part of the mold), the course of action I would take is as follows:
Perform a thorough wipe-down with an 80% IPA mixture (80% isopropyl alcohol, 20% distilled...
Their "Iron-X" type product is quite good, and beats other brands prices by about 50%.
My favorite of their products that i've tried has been the tire dressing gel.
However, their chrome polish was way too mild for what I needed to do on the '51.
Since I buy, try and get offered so many...
I have a few thousand dollars worth of detailing chemicals, hardware and equipment. Sooooo, pretty much anything I deem to be professional grade (or near it if i'm just doing a quick paint correction on a daily driver) that delivers outstanding results for it's price point is what i'll use...
I'm very interested to see what the Ranger looks like in Cactus Gray. It's a very unusual color that is very lighting dependent.
Race Red looks great on Rangers, but makes the F-150 look like a fire truck (IMHO), Cactus might go either way on a Ranger as well!

We were in exactly the same boat with the 6' bed being the minimum requirement. Would also have gone crew cab with a 6' bed.... However, then it wouldn't fit in the garage and another spot would have opened up for my classic cars! Ohhhhhh the buying opportunities!
Happen to have been over at the folks house last weekend and found a handful of the clips from my old Mitsubishi Evolution, they work perfectly on the Ranger. I'll try to locate the part number and update this thread when I do.
Weathertech makes the "no drill" mud flaps which we installed. Took the two of us about 2 hours in total to install, and they really do give you everything you need! Plus no drilling.
Hmmmm, less excited. As somebody who tinkers on cars dating as far back as the 1940's, I know that plated steel is not a long term solution. Yes, just replace them every so often! But that doesn't seem to happen, realistically.
But i'm always up on the tetanus!
Beautiful rig, and one of the very, very, very few Lightning Blue SCAB's out there (we might be another, but no color trim package like you (sport/black/chrome)).
And also we need to update this thread with Velocity Blue as Lightning is no longer a Ranger color starting 2021...
Are those metal clips/pins aluminum? If not, i'd be worried about rusting out when used under a car.
If aluminum, woooooooooooooo, FANCY!!!! I like it!
What you're after is a push clip that uses a simple flathead screwdriver to pull off instead of a "screw" type (that always suck).
When I had the 2006 Mitsubishi Evo IX, the front underbody tray was held on with 36 screw clips...... THIRTY SIX! Want to change the oil? Unscrew 36 plastic screw...
