Of course, we need the extra time to devote to modifying our trucks. ;)

Some have part-time gigs in addition to their full-time jobs - this is so they can afford their mods and not have to live in their trucks. ?

Although, some are set up so they actually could. ?
My thoughts were on owning a black vehicle. I love black vehicles, but to keep them looking sharp is a "part time job". ??

Joining the Shadow Black Ranger Club. This last weekend, I purchased a 2023 Ford Ranger XLT in Shadow Black. Supercrew, Sport Appearance Package, Electronic Locking Rear Differential, Tow Package, Remote Start. Got it for a bit under MSRP with the spray-in bedliner, window tint, wheel locks, tailgate lock and all of that other miscellaneous dealer BS for free. Pretty happy with the deal. Now I've just gotta figure out how to keep this black beauty clean. :LOL:

Welcome Jimmy. Nice looking truck, but yes it will be a full time job keeping the black beauty clean!

Keeping mine clean isn’t as hard as originally thought. I have a garage. I bought the extra wax/Simoniz shield service ($$$$). But, going in, I knew about the black. Great looking truck. Enjoy!!

21 Bronco Wildtrack, 23 Ranger Lariat Tremor
Picked mine up last week. I ordered it the end of Janruary. It's my first non-fullsize (F150/F250) truck in almost 40 years. I'll probably go back to a 150 some day but, for now I couldn't justify the stupid sticker price along with higher interest rates for something I really don't need.

So, here she is a '23 Lariat Tremor 501A w/ Tow Package. As you can see from the second photo the first mod was to remove the Tremor steps. I was on the fence about removing them until I caught my calf on the step the second time I got in the truck.

I'll start a build thread soon to chronicle the changes I have planned. I'm really liking it so far and really surprised how peppy the 2.3 is. Oh, the tailgate dampner is scheduled for delivery today!

I know you all have seen a million of these sports running around town. This is my first new vehicle that I have ever purchased. I bought it on my birthday in November of last year. Finally bringing it to show off after washing and waxing it.
