Thanks for sharing, I'm curious to see how much life you get out of them. I tried these years ago in one of my old vehicles, but I could never get them to last more than 6 months. Same result with Sylvania Silverstar and other brands. Maybe the quality has improved since then.

I've tried those PIAA bulbs in other vehicles, they always seemed to burn out after 6 months or so (made sure to never touch the glass). Same story with other halogen brands I've tried, it's always a tradeoff between lifespan and light output. Color output wasn't great either. Whiter than...

Just make sure the rear seatbelt/child restraint recall has been done. Back in November, I walked into a dealer ready to buy a Supercab that was sitting on their lot. However, they couldn't sell it to me because of the recall, and the updated part to fix it was on indefinite backorder with no...

Looks like you put in work with it! What's the wooden thing by the bulkhead, DIY crossover box?

Looks nice, I had mine done about a month ago. They did the same for me regarding the grommets and tie downs. Good call on leaving it alone for a bit. Mine still had some tacky spots after a few days, but that may have been due to the cold weather up here.

Yeah I would say so. Maybe an issue with the blend door or something.

I do the same and get quite a bit of airflow out of the forward vents, even with the fan speed set to 2-3. What happens if you select forward only?

Do you have the Lo Pro (between the rails) or the Truxport (over the rails)? I've had the Truxport for about a month so far and no issues, but I'll have to keep an eye on the clamps going forward.

Those look very nice, much better coverage/fitment than the OEM rubber mats IMO.

Yes those look like wax stains. They can be very stubborn to come off, try isopropyl alcohol or a gentle degreaser + lots of elbow grease.

Yeah, the high receiver on the Ranger is tough. My 5x10 enclosed calls for 16" to top of ball, so even with a 6" drop it will ride a little nose high. I'm hoping it will be level enough when loaded up (I try not to take the trailer on salted roads, so I'll find out in the spring), if not then...

That ball mount could work, but the ball will probably be way too high. Uhaul trailers usually call for ~18" ball height for the trailer to ride level, but with the Ranger's receiver height, you would be running nearly 25". You will probably want a 4"-6" drop hitch, maybe more, something like...

Did some more exploring around Cockaponset State Forest.

Good call on the caution sign. I had to add some foam padding above my side door.

Yes it is, it's LineX with the "premium" UV coating. Reviews said it would add some extra gloss, but I was not expecting this much. Ah well, should be a bit easier to clean I guess.

Made a bed divider/toolbox holder.

LineX and TruXedo Truxport. Also added some M8 eyebolts to replace the missing center tie downs. Now just to figure out a bed divider/organizer, and then I should be done tinkering for a while.

That trailer looks sweet, nice work. I have a 5x10 that I've started converting, and your post has given me some great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Totally agree with this. I'd buy a well-maintained track machine over a neglected commuter, all day long.

Hi Benny, would you happen to have a member code for part RANGERBEDHOOKKIT ? Thanks, -Matt
