Husky mud flaps and Bushwhacker rocker guards today. Very nice fit for both. Quality parts!

Nice. Can you provide links to the parts please?

I got the mud flaps at Canadian Tire, and the rocker guards from a local parts shop. In Canada. Sorry! I'm sure you could find them through Google...

Yesterday I ran coax antenna wire from my front bumper to the interior of the truck, and mounted an antenna mount in preparation for the installation of a CB radio. My Ranger will probably look a little silly with the antennas mounted up front.

Put anTruxedo cover on it last night.
Simple straight forward install,not as bad as some make it out to be.

Love the look and fitment!

Just in case you haven't seen the thread in the suspension section of the forum...

So technically those shocks can be installed in either orientation, so yours aren't upside down, per say. But, by installing them in that orientation, you leave the shock body open to possible damage or puncture, and debris/water that gets caught up in the boot can possibly be trapped and work down into the shock body. By installing them boot down, the solid rod is less liable to take damage and then anything that works into the boot can drain out of the bottom of the boot and away from the body. Just something to look out for and not a criticism by any means.

Thanks, yeah, I'd read the "taste great, less filling" posts and decided I would match the orientation that was there on the FX shocks. Any rate, if I get to the point of damaging the shock(s), it'll be time for an upgrade mod (not tailgate damper ) -

Installed Tailgate Lock for piece of mind while I'm hiking and parked at remote trailhead locations.

Easy install. One person, 5-minutes.

Purchased from @LevittownFordParts.com

Thanks, Benny !

How is the ride with the new shocks? You going to do the fronts too?
Do you think the rear sway bare is worth it?

Ive been thinking of doing 4 shocks and the stabilizer bar.

I can't comment on his exact ride because I don't have the rear bars, but the rear shocks make a HUGE difference!!! The truck feels almost like a sports car, but is awesome off-road. I love it!

I'll let you know in a day or two - the expectation v reality thing. @Glocker 's sport car comment may bear fruit I am thinking. Need a few more twisty turnies and bumps. No fronts yet, just wanted to firm up the rear. The sway bar did a lot and I "think" the new shocks will eliminate a lot of the rest

Got the window tint done today. Ended up going with all Llumar with Air80 on the windshield, IRX15 on the fronts, and IRX30 on the rears due to the rear windows being tinted already. Pretty happy with how it came out!

I put the weather tech side deflectors on since they came in the mail. Passenger side gave me trouble. The outer weatherstrip along the door, closer to the mirror has a tear now. Not sure if I can ignore it or will need to replace it.
