What did you do to your Ranger today?

Installed Eibach rear shocks and what a difference!! Easy and effective, great bang for the buck mod.

Got around to wiring up my Tekonsha Prodigy P2 brake controller today. No biggie, but a pain in the arse to get up under the dash to strip the available wire's for a butt splice.
Ford, if you read this, make those 4 wire's about 6 inches longer !!!

At a net cost of $0.03 per unit???? Are you crazy???? No way will accounting go for that!!!!

Rigged 'behind-the-back-seat' straps for kayak paddle storage. The paddles are hidden until I'm ready to pull them out and I don't have to worry about something falling on them in transit.

I got a level and new tires on mine today,

Hey there, what tires are you running? I like the fit

I'm pretty sure I just destroyed the bed lighting game. I was wondering what I was going to do with some of the extra lighting I had sitting around in a box.

Also got in taller gas struts for my roof box and got those all hooked up.

Prinsu roof rack and hood lights installed. The Prinsu rack was a pain to install solo. Like some dudes on here said, those rivet nuts that came with it sucked. I wish I had a rivet tool set. I was actually out to buy one, but no one seemed to carry them in store. I nut and bolted 2 of them that failed and over compensated on the caulking. Looking back, maybe I should had gotten help on the install. working around those airbags, especially on the center holes, was cringe worthy. The hood lights were super easy and straight forward to install. I didn’t drill through the firewall, but snaked the switch wire underneath the truck and went up a rubber access point under the driver side floor.

They look like Nitto Ridge Grapplers

Installed my White Knuckle Off Road sliders today. Took about 2 hours with the help of @Nopalito , but about an hour fifteen of actual work. The hardest part was starting the first bolt.

Went out to Fish Creek wash. GF actually gave the idea to off-road for thanksgiving break, she generally does not enjoy it too much. Found out she does not like 40mph+ slip n sliding on dirt trails on 2WD. Palms were sweaty(seriously), weak knees, arms were heavy for her. She knows she will have to get used to it though since I enjoy it so much <3

I took her to hunting camp. It's been dry here in the U.P. so not much mud to run through on the way up today but the ride is much better with the Ford tuned Fox shocks. Hands down beats the FX4 stock shocks.

Good luck hunting. Looks like a very nice camp you have. Enjoy.

Hi Guys, I realise I'm quoting a year old post here, but I want this exact grill, in this colour, only problem is, I'm in Australia and I don't even know if it would fit our spec Rangers (non-Raptor). But, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a couple of questions and in return, I'll answer any questions anyone has about Aussie spec Rangers, well, any that I can anyway.

Here goes:

- Is this an OEM grill? I assume it is.
- Does it come painted on this model, or was this custom painted? I.e. can I buy one the same, in the same colour?
- Would anyone with this grill, in any colour, mind supplying some dimensions so I can see if it might fit mine?
- Lastly, would anyone who has replaced this grill with another model, entertain the thought of selling, including postage to Aus? (Assuming it fits). Big ask I know, but you never know, with how much you guys in the States seem to love your FORD (Raptor) grills, someone might have one sitting around, surplus to requirements, and have a sense of humour.

My grill looks about the same, but chrome and this colour would match my wheels (I hope). Not my car, but same grill.

Would also help me work out if my RANGER lettering on the grill is the same size, so I can order those inserts you guys love so much.

Any help, much appreciated and sorry for the thread hijack, thanks.

And if you're wondering "WTF, why doesn't he just paint his grill grey, stupid Aussie?!", Well, it's a company car, so I have to be able to return to stock at some point, so I need to keep my grill. Also, I'm also not sure how paint would stick to the chrome and/or matt black plastic. Thanks again.
