Thanks, I'm hanging in there for sure! I just came back from a long road trip through Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Mostly road going with some light wheeling down mostly in the St. George area getting into National Parks. Nothing really noteworthy but the truck ran like a champ with a decent...

Thanks for the complement, though I hadn't done much yet aside from light offroading. I've been dealing with some health issues lately, but hope to get out there soon enough.

Thanks for the kind words!

I haven't touched the system/wiring since I got it setup. There is a limitation of three wires you can add into the ring. You can add a heated steering wheel or the paddle shifters but not both. RCMustang added a heating element to his steering wheel which inspired me to do the paddle...

RTR Tech 7 18x9 0mm Offset Wheels w/ Toyo Open Country A/T III 35x12.5 Tires Picked up some new wheels and tires for the Ranger. Finally got into a set of 35s. Looks so much beefier than the 33s I had on there before. I'm glad I went with silver instead of black again. The black KMC...

Ford Performance Air/Oil Separator Kit Picked up the Ford Performance Air/Oil Separator Kit for the intake side. Install was pretty easy and straight forward. For my model year, I had a tamper resistent fitting that had to be broken (as per the instructions). Though interestingly enough...

BroncBuster has some cool stuff for sure. I wish all those things were available when I was sourcing my parts. I knew they existed, but no one was selling them or knew how to get them. I know that a bit of the splines could be cut off, perhaps a half of an inch or so. Not sure if that would...

I had to remove the piping because of the BDS Shackles hang lower than the OEM ones. Part of the hanger setup for the Gibson exhaust connects to that mounting point. After the shackle is installed, it locates the exhaust in a bad spot due to the hanger mount being lower. The leaf spring and...

The Gibson Dual exhaust wasn't that loud at all, quite mellow in fact. I would recommend it to folks who want the looks but not the sound. The modification I did was just to remove the piping from the muffler back. I think part of the reason it sounds louder now (aside from the removal of...

Thank you for the complement and for checking out my build journal!

F150 Raptor OEM Floor Jack w/ Bronco Raptor Spacer With my truck leveled from the APG conversion on 33s, and now the BDS rear shackle lift in the rear the OEM floor jack is pretty useless. I know most folks have been using various bottle jacks, and floor jacks I wanted to try and keep things...

Thanks for the complement, it certainly has a cool factor. :) For the parts list I listed, at the time I paid roughly around $3k, including the rear diff cover. The custom axle shafts I had ordered through Branik, was roughly $1k. For the fabrication/ install of the axles and M210 by...

My "pièce de résistance": Bronco M210 elocker (from Sasquatch Package) complete Front Drive Unit differential, Branik Motorsports Custom Length Axle Shafts, BDS Rear Shackle, Switchpro SP-9100 Based on what I've learned from the research I done on the bronco M210, the M210 is a bit beefier...

Rear M220 4.70:1 Gears / Ford Performance Diff Cover At the time, a well known shop/fabricator in the area had recently moved into my neighborhood, Shaffer's Offroad. They weren't too far from me before, but now that they were so close I had to go and visit. Shaffer's Offroad is a fabrication...

Redline Goods Leather E-Brake Boot, Course Motorsports Phone Holder, Roush Cold Air Intake Kit, Quikr Hitch Mount Bike Rack, Painted Explorer Steering Wheel Trim While I was looking into options/solutions to my FDU alignment issue, I picked up a few things to install. After four years my...

Broken OEM Driver's CV Axle & RCV CV Axle, Cracked oil pan, Bent Front Differential Mounts, Realignement Attempt Son of a... biscuit.... While wheeling with a buddy out in Mendocino National Forest, my inboard driver's side CV axle grenaded itself. This happened while climbing out of a...

Adaptive Cruise Control Issues, Relocation to Bumper With the APG conversion utilizing a different bumper, the OEM Adaptive cruise control was moved to the radiator area like most bumper kits ended up doing using the Addictive Dessert Designs relocator. For the most part the truck drove fine...

Yakima Outpost Bed Rack (non adjustable), Diode Dynamics Ditch Light mounts, a pair of ROAM 95L Rugged Cases I didn't like the height of my RTT with the exisiting Yakima Overhaul HD rack, so I picked up a set of Outpost bars which are lower, but are at a fixed height. I also grabbed a pair of...
