I've seen 3 other rangers and one gladiator. I saw the Gladiator trying to fit in a automatic car wash with some difficulty...

Are you saying that the tire size and gear ratio should now be working on the Ranger as well, just that it hasn't been confirmed? I checked for updates to my Mycal Touch on Monday and it said it was up-to-date. I've been able to adjust the tire size on the Mycal, but it causes a U0422 code to be...

This man is famous.

I just keep thinking about when I removed my tailgate to load a pallet from a forklift. The angle to remove the tailgate is ~45 degrees, which i'm picturing as a disaster if you hit a bump just right.

I'm running +3.5" w/ 285/70-17 Ridge Grapplers. I also dropped the front spoiler and put the FX4 skid on, which probably impacted things. All said, I dropped down to about 17 Highway/15 City. Got the Livernois 93 Octane Tune, and that put me back at 21 Highway/18 City. The tune will pay for...

This is clearly a stock photo from a Ford pamphlet. There's no way us ley people can visit such picturesque locations.

Looks like the AFE one comes in 304 Stainless?

Oh shoot! I knew I forgot to post something! The process was WAY easy. I was right, the hardest part is getting the lower spoiler removed, as there's 8-10 (I think) bolts that hold it on. The FX4 skid uses the same mounting bolts and positions as the non-FX4 plate, so no need to buy anything...

I'll see if i can grab pictures later, but I removed the sensor, then the "chute" that hangs down and used a dremel tool to remove the lowest 1.5" or so. Re-mounted and zip tied it up a bit. Now this is no longer ran issue for me. I probably would have adjusted over time, but I have a few family...

Thanks guys! Thankfully, it turned out just how I hoped.

I honestly couldn't say for sure, but I wouldn't think the Icon kit would on it's own, should just change the ride. I put it on at the same time as the tires/wheels which lifted whole truck a solid 2". Unfortunately no, the wheels are faux beadlock. The real deal is too rich for my blood. I...

Still no UCA's, but I did go ahead and get the rest of the kit installed. It just couldn't be adjusted for the full travel range since i'm running OEM UCAs. I don't believe there's any level kit specific pictures over here, but i'm dumping all my pics on my build page

I got to that point but was reluctant to pull with any more force. Guess I gave up too soon. Was thinking there was a way to remove those metal clips from the back side. Thanks for the follow-up and additional pictures!

Can you explain how you got the clips off from the top side of the valence? No matter what I did, I couldn't get them loose or get very good access to them.

I got the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I was on the fence about going w/ BFG KO2's, but I saved about $150 by going w/ the Grapplers. Might end up paying more than that in gas... :puke: I'll add that I also deleted my front spoiler in lieu of the FX4 Skid, so that's impacting a bit on it's own. Maybe...

On my 285-70-17's I'm noticing an immediate 3-4 MPG loss in stop/go driving around town, but probably closer to 1-2 MPG once it's rolling on the highway at a steady speed. Seems to make sense that the acceleration would take the biggest hit for the added surface area and weight of the tires.

Stage 5: Skid and Hook Ordered the OEM Skid Plate exclusive to the FX4, and replaced the front spoiler. While I was down there, I took the time to remove and paint the front tow hooks using some red caliper paint from Auto Zone. They won't get a done of use, so i'm not too worried about the...

Stage 4: Wheels, Tires, Lift With some assistance from XTP Diesel and Off-Road here in Dayton, got some 17x9.5 Black Rhino Barstows w/ +12 Offset. Mounted these on some 285/70-17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, all paired with a 3.5" Icon Stage 2 (tubular) lift (Temporarily a Stage 1 while we wait for...

Stage 3: Grille, Auto-Fold Mirrors, Grille Lights Installed Raptor KO Grille from "Connecticut Joe" (See j0shm1lls's post related to it here. He did a super-helpful write-up and YouTube video for it). With the help of RCMUSTANG's thread here, installed the mirror auto-fold module. This may be...

Stage 2: Exhaust and Badges Ordered and installed Magnaflow's CatBack Exhaust and a Black/Red Ford Emblem for the rear tailgate.
