New face.

Ford Performance grille with original surround from my Tremor grille, slightly modified to fit together.

looks good how much did you have to modify and what to make it work with the oem grill portion?

These are the lugs I purchased as well, installed them today. Really like them so far, will see how they hold up. Truck is now 100% chrome free!

Looks fantastic! I might have to do the same. By the way, when you replace your tires, will you go with white lettering? As a child of the 60s and 70s, I like the look but I know a lot of people will turn the inside out.

Thank you!

Hope I don’t need new for some time but when I do it just may depend on my attitude at the time ?

Sold it. With all the bad things you guys said about the ranger, i dumped it.
Probably just as well.
If you're that easily talked out of something, ditching it for something else is the wisest move.
In my opinion.

Thanks. The OEM Tremor surround has extra flat tabs for some reason, so I took a dremel and cut slots into the new Ford Performance grille and snapped it together. It’s about 1/8th of an inch thicker than the old one so the snaps dont quite engage but the screws are more than enough to hold it together tightly.

I called em and they gave me the email to do a rma with I got the robot response saying to wait until I get a person so that’s what I’m doing I guess… just slightly annoying

This critter has become iconic to Rangers. If we were to adopt the equivalent of Jeep's rubber ducks, it would have to be this!

By the way, what is that exactly, a gopher or what?
It's a marmot.
This is his little cousin, marmot jr.

installed icon leaf springs in configuration 1 that they ship with. I'm currently running 1 inch lift bds shakles and now the multi rate icon springs. I really really hope it settles a bit lower. I still have 1 inch difference between drivers and passengers. I attached measurements I am going to need longer brake lines and parking brake lines. total install took about 2.5 hours. also installed the new poly bushings, added moly lube to bushings and shakles also soaked the leafs with dry lube graphite to minimize any squeaking that may start.

Well, went to pick up my new Ranger today. Only to have to fight with the dealer about price protection on the deal from February, producing the signed DORA to prove it, and producing the $1000 retail rebate offer. Then he told me that if I wasn't going to trade something , he would need to mark it up, $1,500.00. SO I let him look at my trade, and he low-balled it $7500 minimum under Kelly Blue Book. Said he called a few other Jeep dealers to see what they thought about my trade-in, and told me they were slow moving and sitting on the lot still. So I called the Jeep dealers and they said they had none on the lot and that the longest they ever sat on the lot was 2 weeks. I told him that this was not the same truck I ordered (Lariat 501a, and the LED headlights were deleted), so I just wanted a refund of my deposit, to which he said that deposits were non-refundable.

So my 'we will do what we need to do to keep the customer happy and make the deal right' was a wolf in Sheep's clothing.

Need to find the Georgia Law so that I can get my deposit refunded.

I forgot to ask but would you replace any of the nuts or bolts or just re use the existing and put lock tight on em?
Ford officially says to discard and replace ball joint, tie rod, CV, and anti-sway bar link nuts. I did as suggested. You may not be able to purchase these due to supply chain issues. Your call really. I recall Phil suggesting these are good for five uses but don’t hold me to that. Other folks have done what you’re suggesting.

Hopefully, others reply and give their input.
