Installed WeatherTech front mudflaps. The instructions call for the removal of three clips on the inner fender well, along with a torx bolt at the bottom of the fender trim.
I'll recommend removing four clips on the inner fender well. Along with the three detailed in the WeatherTech instructions, remove the clip at the 12:00 o'clock position.
I struggled folding the liner back, and removing the clip at 12:00 o'clock made it easier.
Those clips are easy-peasy to remove, by the way. I used a stubby phillips bit, and gently unscrewed them. Didn't need the clip removal tool detailed in the instructions. Was all done with finger tips, super easy. Get it unscrewed several turns, and grab under the edge of the clip with a finger tip, and it will sort of pop right out.
I painted my emblems, I went with satin black and gloss black. There ended up not being as much contrast as I was hoping but I’m ok with it.
I also removed the FX4 graphic and the chrome ecoboost emblem. I just found the Red fX4 took away from the look of the magnetic and black.
The DEE ZEE bed mat should be here next week. LOL. Fishing at night at the beach you cannot have too much light in the truck bed. I had originally planned on mounting it in the front bumper but due to winch clutch access, I am going with one 20" dead center to allow access to the clutch so this bar was either send it back or use it. I used it.
Put my license plates on it, peeled off the dealer advertisement sticker they put on the tailgate. Bunch of stuff coming in the mail for it though... *rubs hands together excitedly*
Sunday I installed the tailgate damper, yesterday I installed the Ford Mud flaps, today I installed the Ford bug deflector. Tomorrow I going to install the window mod kit. This quarantine in place has its advantages!!
I took my Ranger out on the Freeway for a romp up to Tucson for my wife's doctor visit, Doc is dealing with Covid 19 patients as a pulmonologist.. Fortunately not my wife's case which is Sleep Apnea....She is getting to the point where she loves riding in the Ranger better than in her Lincoln MKX when I drive her. Think she loves the feeling of power on acceleration as well as the ride.
Best,
