Sid, you have an outstanding build.
Read all 87 pages.
The best part is you did the installation of these items yourself.
Thank you for sharing and keeping updates coming.
Thanks Walter...curiously, how long did that take? ?

One part of a custom 3D printer particulate extraction system...printed of course...

Did take awhile to read all the pertinent posts.
But I always have time for interesting information.

All the best to you Sid.

Moving on without the deflector...could never get used to the shape of this particular AVS bug shield...too misshapen and looks melted...the way it's mount is sandwiched between the seal and hood increases the thickness requiring hard slam in order to latch properly...so I'm taking it off until a better one comes along...

They're custom Oracal red vinyl...hand fitted by trial/error templates...tricky but a couple of members have asked and done this too...it's a lot easier to have it painted if you don't want to go through the head ache...

Working on reopening the Keystone pipeline.... ?

Serious printing requires some serious ventilation...one piece at a time...this looks like PVC but it's actually 3" mailing tubes and printed connectors 1 mm thick...super light...PVC was way too heavy and the parts costed well north of $100...

Looks good Sid, even your house is all lit up like the space shuttle. I really don't know why I'm surprised at this. :facepalm:

The LEDs were wired together in parallel and the positive tied into the top left lead (yellow/green) which are switched on/off with the marker lights. The negative tied to any ground bolt under the hood.

Just got my Ranger 6 months ago, and I loved your setup.
I've bought the Raptor Grill from Amazon. The connection to the lights isn't like the one from Stage3, its just exposed black and red wire. I see where you tapped on the side marker using the Green/Orange wire. But which ground bolt did you use? I didn't want to mess up my electricals if I use the wrong bolt as a ground.
