Busy day, added the following:

Bushwacker Armor
Ranger 4x4 decals
In God We Trust decals
Ford Powered by EcoBeast decals
Side Vents
Raptor Grill w/lights

My Ranger is now a suitable replacement for the my 2010 Raptor it replaced, what do you think?

Your truck looks great. I love the Raptor Grill. Where did you get yours? I’ve been looking around for a while.

Deal of the century here. Got an oil change from the dealer with a coupon for $19.95, I couldn't even get oil and a filter for that price, let alone the time and labor for the Ranger FX4. Hah! Service writer exclaimed, nineteen bucks?

I had them take an oil sample of my factory fill too, to send to Blackstone. 6800 miles with 30% left on the OLM.

With the help of a good buddy and fellow Ford fanatic, I got my Draw Tite hitch installed, and assembled the bed divider I had cut the pieces for. And then he test drove my Ranger and liked it! He has a really nice 2017 F150 4 door 4x4 (and two Mustangs). It was a good morning!

Dove into the world of Forscan today and made the following changes -
1 - Bambi mode
2 - Parking lights as DRL (no more low beams, hooray!
3 - disabled the start up chimes - doo, doo, doo
4 - disabled auto stop start

All works fine and was easy to do. A lot of good information in the Forscan section here.

I've always wanted to mess with FORScan, and went as far as installing it on my computer. But I've never bought the dongle to connect to any of my vehicles. I'm interested in the first two things you've changed!

Installed some Kicker CSC67 6.75" speakers in the front doors today. I put these in the wife's Edge Sport last fall looking to fix a speaker buzz issue. Long story short, the Edge probably needs a new Amp (I didn't break it, just decided not to fix it), and since the factory Sony speakers are half decent, figured I'd see if these Kickers would do better in the Ranger.

They are a perfect fit! Use the same mounting bolt pattern and wire harness as the Edge, so they basically dropped right in. I personally think it sounds a little better. Definitely better/less-distorted bass at higher volumes. Regardless, it didn't cost me anything I hadn't already spent, and gave me something to do for a few hours ?‍♂
