Thanks! I edited my post with a pic. Rare to find a forum where you can post pics.
Ba-ling! Very nice.

Yep, lots of pics on this site - you’ve definitely come to the right place. You should check out the Showcase section - tons of pics of great trucks!

Hey guys, new member here, South of Houston. Picked up my new 2021 STX SC in Cactus green this evening. Driving more for work, so I decided to retire the F250 as a secondary vehicle and rejoin the Ranger world. Having had 4 other Rangers over the years, have always been a fan. My first vehicle was an '82 long bed that I drove through high school.

Cactus what? (sorry wingrider inside joke)

That is a good looking truck. I have not seen those wheels before. Welcome to the forum.

Ha...quick catch and thanks. Even asked my wife why they didn't call it green. In my defense, definitely does have a green tint in the shade. Now I wonder how many times I'm gonna do that in the future...lol.

Got an XLT FX2 in mid Dec and have been doing a few mods on it (Raptor grill, bed liner, aeroskin 2.0 deflector, Rocky Mount integrated bed mount for my bikes and Go Rhino RB10 running boards). Love this truck. I've had a taco in the past, Ranger is a much better value.

Hello everyone. New member but have had my 2019 Lariat FX4 in Hotpepper red since November 2019. Awesome truck. Had been switching vehicles about every 2 and half years trying to find something I liked to keep and found it with this Ranger.

Good looking truck. How does that bug guard attach and is it tight against the hood or is there a gap? I like the look and the extra top strip. Thinking it would be good in bug season down south.

:crackup::crackup:Brian, Here is the funny part.

There was some discussion a while back about the green tint to Cactus Grey. I have a Fighter Jet Grey Mustang Mach1 on order. Turns out FJG and Cactus are the same color(same paint code) just different names, Cactus just does not fit the Mustang image like it does with Rangers and Broncos. I wanted to believe that my mustang will be grey not green, but the general consensus is that I must be color blind as I don't (want to);) see the green .:)?

In my defense, I can clearly see the grey 25 in the circle. :thumbsup:

It attaches with tape that touches all edges. There are no open areas. I put it on myself. It's an easy install. I like the textured finish and the fact that is has that bump on it to actually deflect stuff. Other deflectors are just protecting the front edge, this one can actually deflect stuff that comes at you. My hood was getting chipped after just a few months because of all the rocks on the roads here in AZ. We'll see how it works, but I also think it looks tough.

I’m as colour blind as they come. Am I supposed to see a giant smiley face?
