What did you do to your Ranger today?

[P. A. Schilke]

If I remember rightly, @P. A. Schilke a schilke got some nice black one-piece lug nuts with all the right dimensions (that is really important). Perhaps he'll remember where he got his and share again?

Hi Chris,

I got one piece chrome for the Ranger on Ebay 12mmx1.5. The black ones I got were for my Nautilus and are a different size (14mmx1.5). Been a few years but both vehicles suffered from swollen lugnuts.... JMO...stupid design....

Best,
Phil

Picked her up from the dealership from having paint and dent work done during shipping or sitting at MAP. Also they installed the Ford XLP tonneau cover.
Truck looks good. Can't even tell where the issues were.

Since it had paint work done to it I have to wait a month to wash it and then it's 303 time.
Although they did clean it for the most part and the end got cleaned also.
Now I need to find me a good tire shine product. I have some gel tire shine for my car but it's sporty and I like that wet shine on it but for the truck I want a light shine to a matte shine

Do have a question for you tonneau cover guys that are lazy like me and go to the touchless car washes. Do yall take the cover off or leave it on when going through one?

The rare times I don't hand wash and go to a touchless or hand wand wash I leave it on. This is the tire shine I've been using. It's a nice satin finish and doesn't fling off after applying it.

Gotta say. How did I know you'd post some 303 tire product
Looks like Walmart doesn't have that in stock or the auto places...
Amazon does though

I have no idea why you'd think that? ?

I got this one from Autoanything.com for $662. I didn't really want a full rack, I am a child of the 80's and wanted more of a "Roll Bar" look. If I could have found a manufacturer that made good old fashioned Triple-Doubles for the Ranger I would have been all over that. I have some cheap Amazon LED lights that are going to go on it until I can afford the KC HiLiters with the yellow covers.

Don't bother with the KCs. Unless you are a professional rally driver chicom spots will work fine. Especially since your roof pretty much eliminates glare off the hood.

Do you have a closeup pic of black lug nuts on sport wheels ?

Here's a picture of the lugs i got next to the OEM. The other are with the OEM and the black. Pictures don't do then justice, look better in person. Got them off Amazon. I'll try to find a link. Had them about a year. Holding up well to the Wisconsin winter. And they are holding torque well.

Redarc installed.
Cut front intrusion bars.
installed two rear bed tie downs.

And it gets into all of the nooks of the tires real easy! Love this stuff!

It does! It foams up really nice then I use these tire applicators to apply it.

So do you spray that 303 stuff all around the tire and let it sit or do you spray it on and start using the applicator

Sorry I'm going to use my walmart brand applicators though ?

You spray the tire with the dressing then wipe it in right away with the applicator. They're a bit pricey but good for several uses.

May turn out to be a waste (of both a purchase and a post?‍), but got this adapter to fit the yeti water bottle that goes everywhere with me. No more high speed projectile off the passenger seat onto the floor, and out of reach, after tapping the breaks.?
