What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Doc]

on the front or on the battery?

front is tow hooks.
Battery is an isolator. Cuts power to the winch.

Basically a high power switch. Trucks often use them as a master switch to cut all power while parked so there is no parasitic drain, but can be used for high draw individual circuits as well.

Search Amazon.com - truck master switch, power cut off, or isolator, there are lots of options depending on mounting location and needs..

Thanks! I don’t have a light at yet… still deciding what route to go with lighting.

Prinsu makes light brackets as well, maybe a little taller if you don't want to trim the fairing.

Looks great, did it have rail dust? We had a white Focus ST that I needed to clay bar to get rid of all the rail dust, love the white but not the rail dust. Having the same issue with our less than one year old Bronco that’s white.

Yes I had the little rust spots but I’ve claybar the truck 2/3 times and used IRON X decontaminator once prior. The ironx removes a lot of it but the claybar is the finishing move.

@JACKSMYDOG is right. It is a knob that twists. When its facing across the red (like it is in the photo) then there is no power across the switch. When twisted 90 degrees to the green, there is power. on/off switch for the winch. Keep parasitic drain down and allows emergency personnel to disable all 'non stock' electrical. Everything is on a switch or breaker that is not stock.

Hurricane preparedness, so I filled her up with gas, all they had was Diesel and 93 octane at $4.40 a gallon so the Silver Cloud is very happy!

Good luck brother, up there in Tampa. I'm very glad to be missed down here in Boca Raton!

Got the Auxbeam lights mounted to the new bumper. Wiring was already in place, so it was easy.

Made a hardware run and swapped out the silver hardware for black hardware. I don't know why companies sell all black products and put the wart of silver hardware on them. Only cost me a few bucks.

When we installed the winch, we were in a hurry to finish up, so the wiring was just kind of... thrown in there. I took the time to tidy it up and run it the way I wanted. Mounted the isolator to the fust box lid. Sealed the snot out of it, so should have any issues with water.

Still waiting on the rear bumper to come back from powdercoat. Hoping this weekend before my camping trip.

How bright are they?

 

[Colo_Ranger]

They are bright. Used them a few times at dusk/night and they do well.

I’m right dead in the middle of it in Live Oak next to lake city.
I was in Andrew when I lived in Miami. There were an estimated 200 tornados in that storm ….

Keep your head down and stay safe!

My concern is the tornados spinning off in the bands. When Ian hit, it dragged those bands over us and the tornados. It was 8 hours of "hide in your bathtub!" Ughhhhh.

Actually, my wife was furious with me over it. It got a little wild over us in Boca, again, because of those bands. And I slept through it!

Stay low and cover your head Doc!
