It was warm enough for me to put them on today, including the ones up front too! And the aeroskin 2 deflector. And the 4”stubby antenna. And took off the FX2 stickers. I thought they looked obnoxious and a little showy for 2WD. Just have the bushwhacker rocker stuff that I’m gonna do tomorrow.

Nice. I took the FX4 stickers off mine, too, prefer the "clean shaven" look. I was thinking about getting a stubby, but as it turned out, the stock one fits under everything where I drive it, has not brushed or caught on anything yet, and so I just left well enough alone.

I did go for the stubby. The Ranger would not fit my son's garage with that ass-a-nine antennae.
We use satellite and we have to change the oil and rotate the tires.

Meaning you dropped them and now can’t find them because they blended in? :giggle: I did see some vinyl ones that were camo on Amazon. I don’t recall seeing any of the plastic/raised ones in camo though.

I take that back. TufSkinz has the camo ones as plastic inserts.

They aren’t cheap but I’ve heard their quality is good.

Looks great! I am biased though, I have the exact same truck and did everything you did except for the deflector. What are your thoughts on the deflector?

I like it! I wish it was slightly blacker, but it looks good. One plus is that with the part sticking up, I get a better feeling for how long the hood is. I mean the front sensors help too. Also, I’ve gone through a car wash since putting all this stuff on and I had zero issues. Was praying I wouldn’t get home and see RANG R on the back.

I have White Platinum and also considered black tailgate letters with my Sport Package magnetic trim, but decided it would be too much contrast. I went with magnetic letters.

My dealer had both on hand. I took both colors out to a truck for visual comparison which really helped.

I did install black letters on my magnetic grill, but they sort of blend right in.

Purchased these from my dealer parts dept. They also installed them, did a great job.

Sorry to hijack, but any input on using the Chrome finish letters on a shadow black truck with the black appearance package?

TIA
