I just changed out my XLT grill for a Lariat I bought here. Too many nooks and crannies on the XLT, hard to wash. Before the switch, I repainted the grill badge, satin black and titanium, and clear coated. I'm liking it. I'm planning the tailgate badge next, but am afraid it's harder to get...
COPYCAT, I did the same thing a few months ago! It looks much better. $35+ for a black extension was over the top for me, vs. a can of spray paint! Nice, my Ranger is Hot Pepper Red, yours looks like 2020 Red...
Sorry Ace Holliday , I didn't get my boards delivered on time, and just downloaded the pics. I like the Go Rhino RB10 because they are like splash guards and have slots, AND they sort of remind me of Raptors. They are pretty high, but my wife likes them, entering is easier. I don't use them...
I ordered Go Rhino RB10's from Auto Anything and they are supposed to come tomorrow. They were 1/2 the price of OEM's and I liked the look...my brother in law put them on his new Silverado. Yeah, he's my in-law so you can't pick 'em! They are billed as "Raptor" steps. The only thing I'm not...
Regarding your original question: I got the LineX sprayed in, and thought it was somewhat slippery, depending on what was setting on it. I added a Dee Zee bed mat and it fit perfect, and is very anti-skip. Nothing I've put in there has slid around. Gas cans, milk crates, window scrapers...
Agree Greg,
I'm liking the Honda mini-trail! I have a white '66 Honda Dream 305 I took apart years ago, and said it would be a "retirement project" to restore it. It's put up or shut up time since I retired at the end of December. My '69 Cougar convertible also needs a gas tank (smelled gas...
Steve,
Yup, I agree it's a pain to get clean. Basically that's why I'm swapping out my grill for a Lariat, too many little pockets (sort if like my old '04 grill), and I like the look of the Lariat horizontal bars across the grill, much simpler. I also like the Raptor grill but didn't want to...
Hey Phil,
Maybe I should see if they make a White Platinum Escape model, I'd be interested in her response if I ordered one just like her car!
Cheers,
Trevor
Thanks Michael...aka Lone Ranger :)
Right color, wont have to paint it like I did my Hot Wheel...I ordered hopefully before they were all gone. (my wife already thinks I'm regressing to childhood, wait til she sees this come in the mail! Sheesh)
Thanks AZ, I will definitely be using your links, I think I'm in trouble on #1, yup....:) Question, never had Hankook tires, are they OK? The tread looks pretty aggressive, not your normal all season, I sort of like it and the hiway ride is not bad (I see a lot of guys swap out "perfectly...
Couple things today,
1. Washed the truck and used Bead Maker on the HPR for the first time. Thanks to all who recommended this here. I've been a Meguiars guy for a long time. We'll see how this stuff lasts. Super easy.
2. Got a Gator tri-fold hard cover direct from Gator and installed...
Easy enough, comes apart in 4 pcs. Wheels/frame + chassis + windows + body...glue it back together. I've not detailed the lights, bed, mirrors, etc yet. Just reminds me of making models as a kid!
Hey Deton8r, very easy. Got a 2-pack on ebay cheap, both were decked out as Raptors with checkered flag paint in blue or yellow. Drilled out the 2 plastic-melt rivets, stripped one down, sanded it and painted with Krylon Fusion all in one "Gloss Red Pepper" from Lowes. Not a bad match. Didn't...
Couple questions:
What grill did you replace it with?
Looking at the RTR grill, but expensive. How much for your "not new" grill?
Think it's 2 piece, I may only want the center, to upgrade my XLT. Will it come apart?
I'm in NE PA off Turnpike X74. How far are you?
Thanks.
