That one looks significantly better than the previous version.

Much less generic.

Any one see these yet? They make a 2.3 for the Ranger. I can't decide how I feel about it. I like choices but I'm still holding out for something new from Ford.

JCR Offroad Engine Cover $149 (Sale Price)
- looks cool (at least better than bare, imo)
- should last a long time
- free shipping

- does nothing for sound deadening
- reminds me of the muffler shroud on a lawn mower
- still feels like it's missing something

so it looks like have changed its design on the ranger since that one looks to be for the bronco and it looks a tad better now so i guess i dont hate it

I guess. I just wish it was useful. I'm not pulling the trigger on it for looks alone. Put a lip around that hole in the top at least.

Not gonna lie, that does look niiiice. Not nice enough to spend $150 for though.
Will keep my eyes out for any holiday "deals".

same lol

 

[OFC Ranger]

I like it. I don't like it for $150.00 though. lol

Maybe this will be my next DIY project. Go pick up a 1/4" thick sheet of steel and just bend it to required shape and drill a few things in it.

If they lowered the price and offered a no finish option I could see getting one. I have a local shop that could Cerakote that to match my Magnetic paint.

I was hoping the Explorer cover would fit our trucks but.....

Why stop there? ?

 

[Ranger X]

I drilled a couple of holes in mine to mount the emblem - used gorilla glue. Wondering if this will have an effect on longevity?

Damn it “banned” Progeny2021, now I gotta do dat…. ?

I dig the new JCR design.

 

[SilverSlugger]

Was going to ask the forums if anybody knew of an aftermarket cover. I'd like to get mine covered so that I don't get a rust problem, and I'm disappointed that the ford one was discontinued before their 'new design' is made available. But then I guess the original ford cover doesn't really prevent the issue in the TSB?

Anyway this aftermarket one looks like crap, doesn't look like it would fix the dripping problem either.

Seems like there is a market for one that prevents the dreaded cylinder-4-drip though.

The "dreaded drip through" give me a break! Ive had mine for 3 years now, never has it seen the inside of a garage. It's been rained on, snow and hail countless times. Never once have I had an issue, nor the vast majority of users.
