Money Pit??

[r1ch999999]

You may take a look at these..... My wife's CRV is what I used. SUVs doors Hit the running board leaving about a quarter of an inch for the truck on the upper part. After installing these my truck is protected at least from CRV. We both back into the garage so the space between cars is only about 2 or 3 ft. This is a nice part it's painted exactly like the truck With the Platinum White. Perfect match.

Cheaper than running boards. I’ll have to take a look.

I'm at 5700. I have another $900 of parts sitting in my amazon cart for a second battery. I haven't even started looking at lifts and tires yet....

That reminded me I have a ScanGauge. I had it on the Tacoma. I may try it on the Ranger.

Sweet!
I see your S/Crew has the chrome package, did you consider the moldings with the chrome insert also?
For some reason, my truck's color code is not listed in that link (Rapid Red Tri-coat metallic-D4), I'll contact the manufacturer.

No I didn't. I didn't want to draw too much attention to it especially since it's raked front to rear and a 1in to match the truck rake. I've never even heard of Rapid red tri-coat is that a new color for 2020?

Hell no that was just labor! Mechanics makes more than I do after more than 30 years in design

Whoa! Sign me up where the techs make 150 an hour. I just passed all my ASE's I'm good to go.

Lol...I'm sure this offroad shop takes it's big chunk of the total...I'm guessing the truth is that they just doubled the $75/hour the mech makes...

 

[r1ch999999]

Are they taking home $75/hour or is that split with the shop? Or do they rent their workspace? I never really knew.

I need a little clarification on how to fill out this poll. Should I be including the cost of the presents I got the wife to distract her from the fact that I bought a new truck?

Never thought of that... I bought my wife a new oven, fridge and Dyson V11 because I felt bad buying everything for my truck!

LOL...I gave my wife four new struts and tires, alignment and fixed others stuff on her 11 Explorer...she so happy says it's like new

Wheels, tires, suspension, lights, linex, tint, tonneau, recovery gear, soon to be front bumper and winch and fml. First car I've modded in years and it is still a slippery slope haha. All good as long as you're not spending money needed for other things in life

I am between 2,000.00 and 3,000.00 U.S.D. right now, with most of it going to the Ford/Fox Two-inch Leveling Kit. I will definitely cross the 3,000.00 mark once the Ford Performance Tune becomes available, with an upgrade to the stock tires in the near future as well. I don't mind spending the money, as long as there are quality products out there that improve my Ranger's performance, ride quality, etc. So, yeah, it is a money pit, but a fun one!

The scanguage is pretty neat. I'm still messing around with it trying to get xcodes and stuff working. The only one I've been able to get working so far is the transmissions fluid temp.

Had to change my answer to between $3000-$4000 after going back and remembering all of the little things and accessories I've gotten for it Thankfully I'm happy with where it's at for now and all of the big ticket items like the wheels, tires, and bed accessories are done.

Where did you mount yours? I’ve had one for years but haven’t tried it in the new truck yet.
