Just hanging out with Rocky and Bullwinkle. :wink: On the lookout for the metal munching mice and Boris and Natasha.:crackup::crackup:?
I know, where's Mr Whoopie and the 3DBB along with TT and Chumbly :LOL: :rockon::shock:

Sorry to vear so far off topic, just couldn't resist when I say the 8-tracks. I just digitizes some old cassettes you can't find on CD and remembered I may have some 8-tracks in the attic. Might have to dig out the deck and see if the still play. Might find some classics.??

Those Craftsman cabinets are great. Well built and easy to install. I got 2 twin door style from Ace hardware @ 10% over cost. Be sure to use the L bracket to the wall stud just in case we do something stupid in the garage. Truck looks great!

I've got this kit sitting in my garage waiting on warmer weather for installation. I didn't want any issues with the adhesive and the cold. A lot of dust manages to make it up into the bed!
I was going to do the same but couldnt stand all the sand and snow getting into my bed anymore, I have an actual bed made in my bed and i cant believe how much water gets in while driving down the highway! Took it to the heated bay at work and the tape seems to have stuck surprisingly well. Will report back in a few days when after its been out in the cold for a while and travelled up and down the highway

Hey y’all. Bought the MBRP single cat back S5227AL. Tomorrow I’ll be able to report on what I received and n the mail, any guesses...

Also kicking around a catless down pipe followed by an CAI. Kinda worried on the noise level. Any opinions or sound clips are appreciated.

Do you have any problems latching it near the tailgate? I found the Ford one that looks similar to yours, was in the way and I really had to manipulate it to latch. I eventually cut out a small section of the bed extender to make it latch much easier.
The passenger side seemed to go on easy. The driver's side was a bit more fiddly. I'm hoping to use it primarily as a barrier, so I'm to worried yet. If it is going to go off and on regularly, Yes I will have to do something.

Looks small on the outside, but larger on the inside.

In case you do something, I just used a grinder with a cutting blade to easily cut the extender. I then temporarily used black duct tape to protect the ends. The extender is still extremely solid.

I found a place to mount mud & sand recovery tracks on the tailgate using Expedition Essentials Quick Mount for MaxTrax Recovery Boards + MaxTrax USA Recovery Tracks in Black.

Not to be a buzz killer, but if you use your truck as a truck and need to slide something into the bed. It is kind of in the way.

Still happy with them and they've been working well. They are bright, though.
I don't think there is a difference between 7443 and 7444. My understanding is that those are part numbers that can be used interchangeably depending on the care make/model. But I'm not an expert there. Either way, they fit the Ranger and work perfectly.
The switchback feature on them is also very nice. They're a bright Amber color when you're signaling but switch back to a cool white light when just running with the lights on.

Just got the blinkers today and installed. Left was very easy to install. The right required removing the air filter inlet to get my hand in there to remove the bulb. To remove the air inlet: remove the two torx bolts, open air filter housing and remove air filter then just push the inlet out from the housing with your hand.

Right light hyper-blinked at first. I turned off truck and restarted. They work perfect and I love the look. Easiest upgrade I've done.

Put on the blue FX4 emblem to replace the stock red one. Unlike a lot of people, I actually like the Fx4 on the truck. I’m just more of a blue guy.

My dad even liked it so much, he ordered one for his F150 the same day!

EDIT: Also put in LEDs in the license plate lights. All in all, took less than 5 minutes.

I like the FX4 too. The blue looks good also :like:
