OK, I did the swap. But I hate UPS. They gave a delivery date, I tore the front end off, then UPS delayed shipment 4 days. Could not drive the truck.
Man, I don't get the problem. The swap went without a hitch. Easy Peasy!
NOT!!! Whoever said those 2 outer screws on the valance are a PITA was...

Hi Matthew,
I'm really interested in doing this conversion. I also was disappointed that we could not get the LED headlamps on our XLT.
But in looking at the part numbers I see that there are 4 different numbers. You state that you work at a Ford dealer so I'm hoping you can help me.
What are...
Hi Jeff,
OK, the measurement from the front of the door sill guard to the clam shell door is the same as what you have.. 38 inches.
As you can see there is a depression in the 2008 door sill where that latch is, which is not on your 2019 Ranger.
I forgot to measure how wide the dip is and how...
Hi Jeff,
Sorry for the long delay in answering.
I know that I stated I used 3M tape, but I think I used mostly the Gorilla 2 sided tape. It was clear and about 1/16" thick. I do not recall if there was a part number on the tape. It has held up really well.
Here is another link in the forum...
They are holding up very well. No problems so far. But then I'm retired so they don't get much traffic on them. Truck is 8 months old and only 5700 miles.
I also used 1" 3M tape with two strips. I thought to myself that it would be overkill also. But using the fishing line to debadge the plate and then the adhesive remover wheel idea put my mind at ease if I ever wanted to remove it. What I didn't consider would be the amount of labor involved to...
I'm glad you guys liked the idea. That is what this forum is for. I can't tell you how much money we, ok "I" have spent from the ideas here. Raptor grille, auto start/stop, scuff plates, etc.
I had a 2008 Ranger with these scuff plates and liked them, so I adapted them for my 2019.
Yes, I...
As a side note, you can use a "3M 03612 Adhesive Eraser Wheel" in a cordless drill to remove the tape adhesive from the door sill if you need to remove the scuff plates at a later time. Amazon has them.
RedlandRanger,
They look great. Actually a much cleaner job than I did.
This is why I posted this so others could do this.
I just put them in my rear door sills today.
Yes, after the shaving and cutting with the table saw, the edges were pretty rough.
A friend had a type of paint scraper, with a sharp blade I use to scrap the flashing off them. The blade was curved so you pulled it to scrape the plastic. i.e. with your fingers straight out, then curve them...
My solution to missing door sill scuff plates.
I found this forum before I ordered my 2019 Ranger.
Thanks to this forum I spent a lot of money before delivery on items posted in this forum.
But after delivery I also noticed that there were not any door sill scuff plates. I did not like the...
