Finally got around to installing some of the things I've had prior to my truck arriving in June! RL intrusion beams, flares, wheels/tires. Also did the smoked led front markers to blend with the flares, and Diode dynamics SS3 foglight pods in while the bumper was basically hanging off for the intrusion beam install (it looked like it would have been a real pain to do at any other time!!). Not pictured but also BD trims tailgate letters and started some carbon fiber inside with the tiffskinz steering wheel trim. B&I trim kit to come, among other things.
Tires are 295/70r17 on 17x9's with +1mm offset. Suspension is the Eibach Pro-Truck Lift kit +3"/+1" installed by the dealer prior to taking delivery to keep warranty intact. Man, I love how this thing is sitting now! :)

Thos 295s look so good. I was about to order some K02s in that size and now they're sold out with no ETA on re-stock. Looked at Toyo as well, and their re-stock ETA is November :headbang:

Supply chain issues are still pretty common it seems. I had these (and boxes upon boxes of other things) sitting around for weeks before my truck arrived in fear of everything being backordered. It was between Nitto and Toyo for me. Have you checked Nitto availability? I'm impressed with these tires so far.

Knocked some of the dirt off at the lazy, half-ass wash and then added grey FX4 decals to replace the originals. I left it debadged for a little while, but it just seemed like something should be there.

Love to see another Ranger owner rocking the Vector 6s. I have only seen a few builds around with them but I absolutely love mine so far. Cant recommend them enough for the perfect stance. I seen a set on a Taco which looked sharp as well.

I love mine, the hardest thing for me was deciding between black and grey. I got lucky too, the price on the Vector 6s looks like it's jumped over $70 per wheel since I got mine, and that was about a month and half ago.

Fed it the mounting bolt to the intercooler air inlet pipe...somewhere in the twisting, turning folds of metal lives that bolt and I will never see it again until I blow the head gasket, or fill my oil with fuel or polish the damper rod...hmmm :crazy:,

Edit: I mean it's laying in the engine compartment somewhere on top of the engine...?

Added putco lower grille. no point in covering the logo - completely out of sight anyway. I did read you don't need to remove the lower valence if you don't have ACC. I don't, and can confirm i was able to finagle it into place.

Installed a set of MGP caliper covers. Took all of ten minutes and happy that the big silver calipers are hidden now...my wheels are so dusty looking in these pictures! :facepalm:

I installed Homelink this morning. I first wanted to put It in the fascia piece in front of the shifter, but it wasn't going to fit. This spot involved cutting the front for the buttons and then also a bigger spot behind for the module. I wired it with an Add a circuit to a fuse that's hot with ignition and grounded it to the metal frame behind this panel. Pretty easy install and easy programming. The kit was $99 plus shipping and tax on Ebay.

Used the "unused" spot 35, which has power with ignition on.

Racechip with updated maps has been delivered today. I must say, the feeling of extra torque is there, yet I need to drive it more. According to what they claim it should output close to 500nm. I drove a Raptor which is above 500 and my butt dyno says I could be close.

I painted the lower bumper valance Magnetic Grey to match the bumper.
Also painted the front skid plate satin black.
took about two hours to remove everything and break the bumper valance down to sub assemblies. the sensors just snap in and so do their trim rings. once all out, a light 600 grit sand and then paint, waited an hour then clear coat. re-assemble and admire.
I just rattle can painted the skid plate. dont care if it gets chipped or scratched, can always apply more paint! besides, it should be scratched and dinged or whats the point of a 4x4 truck?

I think those plastic trim wings in front of the tires are coming off next.
