Hello and thanks for allowing me to join! I've been lurking on this forum for months now and decided to finally do an introduction.

I bought my 2021 Cactus Grey Lariat (500A) on 2/4/22. I've gone through quite a few cars within the last 5 or so years and I must say this Ranger is amazing. No, it's no where near as fast as the Dodge Charger Scat Pack I had and it's leather seats aren't as comfortable as the BMW 330ix I traded in for it but it's kinda like the three bears story where it feels just right.

So far I've done the following changes/mods to it:
1.) Tailgate damper
2.) Husky All-Weather mats
3.) Window tint (20% driver/passenger 50% windshield ?)
4.) Line-X spray-in Bed liner
5.) Ranger Raptor OEM Grille
6.) MX4 Bed cover

Next up:
1.) Tailgate lettering
2.) Blacked out emblems/side vents
3.) Upgraded suspension/lift kit
4.) Upgraded wheels/tires

Next up later:
1.) Tune
2.) CAI
3.) Upgraded exhaust

Looking for tips and tricks from all of you and looking to learn as this will be my first vehicle with actual modifications, so please feel free to spam me with your best ideas.

Phil

Seriously, welcome - it’s a great truck and making it your own is half the fun.

I'd love to take a look, I'm always down for inspiration.
Uh oh!

Did you get a good look at Dan’s (@Danager ) Prinsu rack, custom rocker panel lights, additional fogs, etc. etc.? That loud sucking sound is money leaving your wallet.
