Ok... so here is an update on the project I have been working on. Did quite a bit of the wiring, just a bit more, and a sunny day to fit it in the truck.

It is a 300 amp Distribution / Fuse block with switches for all may goodies.

Can you elaborate on the switches?

The ARB switch is for my compressor and the little black circle is a button switch for my under the hood lights.

Funny thing... this all started as I was looking for a nice fuse holder for the amplifier I am adding for the Tunes. Talk about getting out of hand.

Yep, there is a 15a fuse for that in the box.

I don't like inline fuses, and wanted a cleaner way to connect things. At 6 connections, this was a great solution.

The last bit will be trying to get through the two holes in the firewall to route the amp power and a couple wires to my switch panel.

Hopefully it does not! I just could not resist the urge. mine started having more goofy sloppy shifts and slips at around 22k
It’s weird probably something with programming. The transmission itself is supposed to be one of the strongest on the market. The 10r80 is in zl1s, mustangs, raptors, expeditions it was a codesigned trans between ford and Chevy.

Well enough teasing. Here’s the box o shocks all opened up lol. And some small tweaks and redesigns of the spindle face. I want to get it just right before I send templates to be cut

Passed 20K on the ODO in a little under 2 years. She has been rock solid. (Runs and knocks on wood)

Nice! I'm in the same boat on my 22 Ranger. Just recently hit 21k miles. ? Driving up and back down Mount Washington certainly broke the truck in a bit. Can't wait to add many more miles and adventures to it.

Got new tires. Mastercraft Courser Trails. Tread is similar to Falken Wildpeaks.
I might be done buying name-brand pricier tires since I don't seem to get more than 35k out of anything anyway.

Nothing wrong with the Mastercrft brand.....their made by Cooper Tire, and their made here in the USA.
Ran several sets on our previous Subi Crosstrek, which was a daily driver for me, and we towed it behind our motorhome for over 50,000 miles.
Never had a problem with the Mastercraft's.

Installed my right toolbox. I had ordered both boxes from Ford Accessories. The right one had a broken hinge so I sent it back. Fedex dropped it off at Ford on 1/30/2024, signed for by LLOUIS. Still waiting on refund. :( I reordered the right toolbox this past Thursday and showed up my house Saturday. Big difference between when you pay Ford and when Ford needs to pay you.

Received my programmer and tune from Unleashed today and holy crap what a difference. I was always satisfied with how the truck drove before, but now it feels like an entirely new truck. Love it. Went with a 93oct performance tune with the TorqueRules trans strategy, and a 87oct tow safe tune for when I’m in areas without reliable fuel quality. Next step will be minor exhaust and intake work. Then on to better suspension options. The suspension and full set of skid plates will go in once the weather warms up here, it’s too cold for extended garage sessions ?
Travis I have the unleashed tune and it is so awesome. Shifts way better and sure does hall butt! I have the Borla exhaust and really like the sound but you really don't notice it much unless you have the windows down.

Sunny and 68* today so the Ranger got a bath and tire shine on the new tires. Took the sandbags and their rack out of the bed. New knee is doing well but not up to climbing into the bed yet so that was a comical adventure luckily not caught on video. Might be getting one of those tailgate ladders after all.
