What did you do to your Ranger today?

[9zero1790]

Got my bed rack installed into the T-slots of my retractable cover.

The crossbars are a bit long so I'm going to trim them down to fit, but I wanted to make sure all was well before I cut it and couldn't return it.

Then it'll be time to mount up the Roofnest that I picked up from @puda. Thanks again BTW

i like that trailer!

Thanks!

I built it from a 4x6 utility trailer to match my WJ, which I still kinda miss.

Here it is in progress with my old RTT on it.

Adjusted the driver side crash bar on my Tremor so I could back out of my driveway without rubbing. Shouldn't have had to but it was quick.

Also swapped out my puddle lights for some LED ones.

Finally got the Prinsu Rack mounted

dump those side steps and get you a set of Rhino E1 electric slide steps. You can currently get them on sale for 1525. you will be glad you did

Looks awesome! Been considering a prinsu or JCRoffroad rack. Look like similar design and quality. How difficult was the install?

Finalize the front bumper and winch. And replaced a bombed cv on the driver side. Not sure but possibly broke on install of new suspension but oh well. Got a hand me down replacement and all is well now.

Has anyone ever attempted to install a front end leveling kit without removing the entire strut? Compress the spring in place enough to accomplish the job?

You don’t have the room to do it safely.

i would not attempt it unless you are really skilled and ready for it. ive heard too many stories of springs taking revenge on folks and parts flying into flesh.

I have spend the majority of my 60 years on this planet doing things I was told not to, so far it's been semi ok.....not everything went perfectly but I learned valuable lessons. I have the old single piece compressors where you put one on each side and those can be dicey at best. I picked up a different unit from HF and just from looking and poking it seems like it may work. Worst case is it doesn't fit properly or I can compress it enough then the strut has to come out anyways.

Installed halogen bulbs instead of the terrible drop in LEDs the truck had when I bought it new. Need to drop by work this weekend and repoint the headlights in the parking garage. The cutoff line for the dims are on the ground by 24 feet from the vehicle, not sure how you're supposed to see anything with it set that way (was the same with the LEDs).


Set a bunch of settings back to as built using forscan, stock Ford boot screen, reenabled ASS, DRL back to as built.

So I did this. I turned Soupie into a rolling, fresh breath, tube of toothpaste!

Stoopid chipmunks and mice eating my battery tender wiring and gnawing on my battery blanket! Literally, rat bastards! =(

So I got a few things. None of which will likely do much except make it smell nice (a plus when at the dump!). =D

I got a spray, but it's only 2% peppermint oil so I added pure peppermint oil to it. And I also got Grandpa Gus's rodent repelling bags (which smell like peppermint too).

With my luck, the chippies will chew holes in the bags and the saw dust filling will get all over everything.

I soaked the heck out of the hood insulation after seeing some terrible damage to other people's insulation.

Now it looks like someone sp00ged all over the engine.

Bah, if I parked in the garage, the cat would keep them down a bit but ...

I bought my 2023 Ranger about 4 weeks ago and found this forum shortly after. First off, I love my new truck and I really appreciate the wealth of information contained on this site. In the past two weeks I’ve installed the tailgate assist, changed the side markers to the smoked Morimotos, installed Ford mud flaps on the front and rear, installed the Ford performance grill, changed the stock bov to the Turbo Smart dual port and installed the Mishimoto intercooler tubing kit. I’d like to level the truck, add hood lift supports and install a cat back exhaust before I take a break and save my bank account. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Great looking Ranger Adam. Welcome to the club!
