What did you do to your Ranger today?

[07XLT]

Finally got my AMP power steps and got them on today. They look and work great. It says 4 to 5 hours. Took me about 10 hours. I’m picky. The boards were the easy part. Wiring was a different story. Being I live in winter wonderland, I spent extra time sealing stuff up, and used some different connectors Inside. I installed lights to frame instead of rocker. Didn’t want to drill holes, and taped lights wouldn’t last long on a rough surface. Also installed the pass thru harness and override switch, which were at extra cost and time.

very cool

Nope.... never even took most of the bracket off. Just removed the 2 lower bolts.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm ordering one.

8+hrs yesterday and today - did a ceramic coating on Maggie.
Wash, clay, polish, IPA wipe, then ceramic. This was my first time doing ceramic and hopefully Its on there - used all of a 30ml bottle.
It sure seemed like I should have been putting it on heavier but maybe less is better (?). I did a section at a time and waited 4 minutes to wipe (60 degrees in the garage) - when wiping there was initially quite a drag on the microfiber and after a few wipes the drag went away.....hope this is/was right. Guess I’ll know more when I wet it down in a couple days.

Finally put my engine cover in so now my engine compartment doesn't look so naked anymore lol.

Is this a factory cover form Ford? Where did you order it from?

It is a Ford part.
Engine Cover - Ford (L1MZ-6A949-A)
$52.42 from Varsity Ford.
The bolts or studs are extra.

Yes it's the factory cover that comes equipped only on the Lariats. I ordered it thru my local Ford dealer.

I finally had some time to work on the Ranger this afternoon after I changed the oil in my Mazda. I put the Putco bumper Insert in (my logo faces out like I’m sure they intended), installed the Rough Country shackle conversion and test fit my Fuel Shok/Grabber ATX setup.

I also removed my struts to take them to a shop tomorrow to have my springs swapped over to the Eibach struts.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to work on or drive my beauty today...but I spent a lot of money in my head!

Holy smokes talk about adequate bed lighting for night work! LOL! Looks awesome and very effective. I'd be interested to know how you routed the power switch.

I cut a small hole in the rubber gasket that the main harness from the cab goes through the fire wall. Used my snake and pushed it through from the cab and then pulled the wiring back into the cab.

You should share this with NASA, they would dream of having a closeup of the sun like this!

Nice. I always like learning how others do things for when I’m in a pinch!

Hang around here long enough and it will become a reality. lol
