New member with a 23’Tremor

Awesomeness I like that and the look is on the list of important things which means good cleaning products and good paint protection products you also saved me from having to look up what was meant when 303 products were mentioned ?. I like the random act of kindness, it’s kinda like a prank but more gooder

I've tried a ton of different detailing products and have found this one to work the best. Living in AZ is like living on the face of the sun and I could never find a decent product that would last more than 6 months there. With the Graphene Nano spray I was getting a sold year out of it and it would still bead up! What's nice is you can spray everything with it from the body, glass, rubber and plastic and it has great UV protection. Here's a couple threads I did on both the Graphene Nano Spray and the Graphene Detailer.

Well I was going to say "whatever makes you fell better trying to justify it"?

I had my name at the top of the list at two different dealers for a R Raptor. After getting my Tremor I thought long and hard about it and besides the "prestige" of saying I have a Raptor it was a lot of money to spend on something I'll never use to it's fullest. I was also living in Arizona where there's a lot of open desert and I still couldn't justify spending that much more for so little gain. Personally I would build up the Tremor with a lift, tires & wheels and suspension and get a tune if it becomes legal there and call it a day. Then take the extra money you saved and buy your wife another truck because you'll never want to give this one back. ?

if it was about justifying it… tbt I never justified getting the Ranger Tremor Other than I liked the movie tremors it could tow 7k#, and it wasn’t as expensive (marginally) as the fx4 lariat Ranger which didn’t have the fox suspension…
The Ranger Raptor is a goal. The Ranger Tremor was a solution to a I have no vehicle.. Mrs OGMix and I were talking about it post Tremor purchase as she knew It wasn’t “The TRuCK” so she asked if getting a Ranger Raptor would make me happy, I told her I was already happy before we even got the tremor… anyway she got all sappy for some reason ? and said let’s get “Your Raptor Ranger TRuCK, since you can’t keep driving my TRuCK around.” So you see this Ranger Tremor was apparently never mine when purchased it was hers.. wifey told me so ?

Thank you for accepting me to the forum and the very warm and fun welcome

Your welcome OP. And remember this, you never see an armored car following a hearse. So you might as well spend it while you got it. Ha Ha.

Right!? I do have kids but I’d rather leave behind things for them to have and remember some good times we had in them.. also before I get to that point of worry about leaving the inheritance, I’ll be doing what my parents have done, which is put them as co owners on everything I own and on our bank accounts so those people who don’t have our best interests at heart can’t force them to get taxed 40-50% inheritance tax because if they are co owner and co account holder it doesn’t fall into the realm of inheritance it’s just one less owner ?

this is something my grandpa taught my dad and has been on my mind as well

Almost the same way I ended up with my Tremor.. Similar to what happened to AZScorpion, some dip ran a red light at 45mph..

A happy Tremor, is a dirty Tremor

I got tossed around a bit, besides some bruises and a scratch on my knee I walked away!
Can confirm, Ranger kept me safe. Plus it was the only Ranger on the lot I could get to replace my poor FX4.....I was eyeballing the Tremors anyways though.

No need for anything else you already have the BEST mod for your truck. Ok, maybe some 303 products would be the icing on the cake! ?

Which products from 303 would you recommend (I’m about 2 miles from the water of San Francisco Bay.). looking to pull the trigger on some cleaning, detailing, exterior protection, and interior protection products. Finally ran out of car wash stuff and paying for professional detailing is one of our budget cut agreements to buy Truck Stuff ?

Check out the links I posted on your thread the other day for the exterior products. Those are what I've been using for the past few years and they've been great as far as protection from the suns UV rays. They make a marine version and my buddy uses it on his boat and raves how he gets a full year out of it.

For interior I use the 303 Aerospace protectant on my dash, console and leather seats. It also has great UV protection and my dash on my '19 looked as good as the day I bought it.

I use a pressure washer and foam cannon for washing it. If this is something you're going to do I can post the products I like.


? Now, what else do you need??

? it’s not just snake oil if it works ?. I do have a pressure washer but don’t have a foam attachment, so I have to soap the vehicles how they did in the caveman days.. being close to the water is why I’m figuring you mentioned the marine protection (wonder how it would do being on the truck.) we do wash our vehicles often because of the idea of salt in the air. I don’t get to garage my truck so UV protection is the main concern.
thank you for the info too.
I gotta do my brakes pretty soon ?

I would use the auto Graphene and you can layer up to 3 coats with no cure time. I would do 3 coats of it because of the sun/UV rays in AZ and would easily get 1 year out of it. I use the Graphene detailer about every 4-5 weeks which gives it a really nice glossy shine and adds a little more Graphene to the finish for extra protection. I only mentioned the marine version because it worked so well on his boat and he only does 1 coat.

I use this foam cannon but any good name brand one will do and really like this snow foam car wash by Chemical Guys. Then I run this California Duster over it every couple days because we had so much dust in the air out there.If you get one of these place it in either a paper bag or wrap it in newspaper for a couple days. It has paraffin wax on it and that'll get the oils out of it faster. Also, these work best the dirtier they are. I've had mine for well over 20 years and it still works great!

Here's the Aerospace Protectant which you can buy on Amazon.

Once you go down the detailing rabbit hole there's no coming back! lol

I am seeing this in real time lol.
I have been super spoiled having a mobile detailer come out a few times a year. Good guy didn’t mind giving him the money, he’s gotten much more business since…. And it’ll save me a couple thousand a year to put towards more fun stuff sooooo… yeah looks like I’ll be ordering a bunch of 303 stuff (including the foam blaster deally.) next week. Very much appreciated you taking the time outta your holiday to answer. Happy 4th ??

 

[OGMix376]

This coming Tuesday I’ll have
DeeZees Tailgate Damper.
The Stubby 4” antenna.
Mountains2metal honeycomb insert.
Rhino recovery hitch&shackle (red)
And Ford Front Recovery points (red)
So it’ll be a mini Christmas in July for me? I quit vaping so I cancelled the window deflector vent visor things…
Next week is order detail stuff…. What do I order for week three, four, and the end of July ?

Well, it’s seems a shame to have 6 upfitter switches connected to nothing.
That should fill up a few weeks for you.

And welcome to the Tremor club.
