You can fill that with weld! No problems!Took off stock exhaust. Just to put it back on because one piece isn’t the right size. ?
I died a little today

I didn't do it yet... but getting ready to do a good wash and detailing, so last night I finally picked up a little Ryobi 1800 psi pressure washer at Home Depot. Foam cannon and better hose and quick connects on order from Amazon!
Friday yet?

Just ordered them this morning. Had had them sitting in my Amazon basket for a while now as a few of the folks here have mentioned these. Also ordered a new tire gauge.
Now, I needed the gauge anyway. But I have a feeling that the warden is going to blame the Ranger for that too.
Oh, and I am going to have to get touch up paint. Yep, blue. Yea. Touch. Up. Paint. For my new Tremor.
Scratched the bed last weekend during a Lowe's and Home Depot run.
My fault. Not paying attention and in a bit of a hurry. 
Horrible scratch is just HUGE!!! Must be a whole 1 inch long! OMG!!! Just awful. Probably dropped the value of the truck by about $12,500. I was so distraught in the parking lot that some folks came over thinking my dog had died. Thought I was going to have to call my wife to come drive me home. But I put my big boy pants on, and got up from my prone position of hugging the floor of the truck bed while repeatedly saying "I'm sorry!" Then with the concerned strangers help stumbled myself behind the wheel. Managed to drive on home. Steering wheel in one hand kleenex in the other. 
?? Got home and the warden freaked out wanting to know what was wrong. I couldn't catch my breath enough to speak so I just pointed at the huge awful ugly scratch.That's when things got weird... warden muttered something. While I didn't get all of it I did hear "it's a truck" and something about "idiot." Seemed like she slammed the door a bit on her way back into the house too. I don't know. Women. Got to say, I really don't feel like I 'm getting a lot of sympathy from her about this whole scratch disaster.

Take note that the "First One" is always the worst.....Just ordered them this morning. Had had them sitting in my Amazon basket for a while now as a few of the folks here have mentioned these. Also ordered a new tire gauge.

Get some High Heat Black Spray Paint and paint it while you have it off.Took off stock exhaust. Just to put it back on because one piece isn’t the right size. ?

Ready to tack on the hoops and fully weld and paint tomorrow! I prepped the metal for paint before assembly to save time later. I will just have to grind welds after. I didn’t realize when I ordered it has a rear winch plate. Looks great already.

@AndyMedic awesome build!! Looks great.
It’s been warm, washed the Ranger and installed my M2M grill insert. Got some tint quotes too, I’m interested in the ceramic tint to help keep the cab cooler in the summer.

I have ceramic tint including my windshield at 70%, you can’t really see it, and it made a big difference. I had 50% in my last vehicle in the windshield and it didn’t make it much darker, but it was a lot cooler. I’m not sure if it was better tint or the darker shade though. I could touch my dash midFlorida summer without it being hot.
