Hi Folks,

Just a comment...I think Josh does everything first class. I do not always agree with mods, but when Josh does them, they are done superbly... (Now Josh...do not get a big swelled head, eh?)

Best,

I agree Phil. I have a lot of stuff in my "Ranger Wish List" mostly from @j0shm1lls posts. Thanks Josh for making me spend more money! ;):curse:

Hi Folks,

I installed the LED side mirror puddle lights. Much brighter!

Looks great! What do you use on it??
After tons of research and some astronomical quotes by detailers on "real ceramic" I went the do it myself route and used the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray. It has the Sio2 polymers so I guess that's why it is considered ceramic. It went on well and after you put 2 coats on it should last 12 months. It is as glossy as some waxes I have used so hopefully it lasts as the reviews and the company say.

Looks good John,I will do the same when they come in.I wonder when you sanded the sills that it stopped the tape from sticking?
Could be. Maybe try some tape on the scuff plates when you get them, before removing the rear tabs, to see how well it sticks?

I seem to remember long ago I tried to stick tape to rough plastic and it wouldnt stick so I took carb cleaner on rag and buffed the plastic till smooth and then it stuck. Nice job I like the look. Bret

Hi Bret,

On surfaces like this, use hair spray and then stick it down. Works most times. At least for me. I keep a can in the garage as wife does not use the stuff.
