That’s a nice haul. I did notice no tailgate damper just as a manly man’s man should not have.
As you can see I’m in the no damper camp myself.

2019 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCrew Chrome Package
Washed and applied Meguiar's Ceramic Coating today. It was really overcast so the shine doesn't show as well. Purchased my 2019 XLT with the chrome package on 4/30/20 and I already have 14,000 miles. Mods since new: added LED brights, dims, fogs, third stop light, cargo lights, front turn signals, license plate lights. Added Lariat Chrome grill, Amber Raptor style grill lights, 20" light bar (wired to come on with brights), OEM mud flaps, Weather Tech floor mats, Ford bed rug, Ford passenger and driver side swing boxes, Ford retractable tonneau cover, Wolfhuse 12V bed power point, bed lights under the tonneau cover, console tray, Lariat lighted visor with garage door opener, Terrain Management knob and enabled in Forscan, in Forscan added degree angle screen, Bambi mode, Raptor splash screen and of course the most necessary mod, the Tailgate Dampener. I also added the Traxion tailgate ladder for my bum knee to be able to get in the bed easier. I have vent shades but still have to put them on. Now what else to add????

Black and silver centercap overlays, eyecatcher tailgate inlay and a pedal commander. Very happy with all of it so far. May relocate the PC tho...thoughts on location ? Tailgate damper and some ecobeast decals on the way. Its getting there, but still plenty to do.

The pedal commander is it worth it, can you feel any difference?
Thanks

Yes... in sport and sport + it down shifts much quicker and rpms come up alot faster, with that I reccon the turbo is spooling up faster ( in relation to pedal travel ). Over all i wouldnt say it feels faster but stronger like its ready for a fight ! It gets the truck going with much less pedal travel...just a little push is all it takes. Still some turbo lag from a stop but from even a slow roll it jumps up and goes. On the flip side ...i took it for a 40 mile drive in eco mode today and mpg went to 28... as long as ur not in the pedal to heavy it stays under 2k rpm while accelerating and shifts are smooth as glass. I definitely like it. Price went down to $249 on Amazon right now. Part # PC18.

Thanks, I thought about one for my Honda but I bought the Ranger instead!

Hopefully I don't offend anyone here. Apparently someone already reported me for using the "J" word in reference to myself.

I can't imagine the offense at someone being proud of their heritage.
But then again, people are strange creatures...

Ran over something doing 80 mph on the interstate. Heard a clunk and the TPMS immediately came on. Let off the gas, got over the the far right lane in about 30 seconds. TPMS was reading 9psi at this point. Got to the exit ramp at 0 PSI. Limped off of the interstate exit ramp and stopped in a safe area to access the damage. I put on the spare and drove to my local Discount Tire and dropped off the flat tire.
I never saw what I hit but it sliced open the Nitto Trail Grappler and took a small chunk for good measure. Luckily I have road hazard coverage from Discount Tire. It should not cost me much, the tire only had about 6,000 miles on it and hardly looks worn except for the obvious gash.
I like the look of the black rim on the spare.
EDIT: Discount just called. Not repairable. Replacement cost for a brand new tire, $42.00. Cost to add the road hazard warranty to the new tire.
This is why I have been buying my tires from Discount Tire for 20+ years. Great service and don't try to jerk you around on the road hazard.
Another edit. I decided to see if whatever it was did any damage. It did. Knocked a hole in the fender liner.

Sorry to learn of the road hazard @HTX1811, those situations are never fun. Glad to hear your local store was able to get you back on the road safely.

Thank you for your support!

That's why y'all have been getting my business since I was a broke kid in college and will continue to get my business.

This evening, I installed the 3 LED raptor grille from @Stage3Motorsports in the truck. It was literally a 15 minute job and looks great.

When the new Fox "Tuned by Ford Performance" Off-Road Suspension Leveling Kit was installed ten-ish days ago, it was only a matter of time before new "shoes" would be "absolutely necessary honey". Over the weekend, that itch was scratched. Thank you Discount Tire. Went from the 265/65-17's Hankooks to a 265/70 17 BFG TA KO2. Definitely like the way they fill the wheel well up and really like the more aggressive tread. No louder on the road than the Hankooks.

Congrats! :like:
I wonder how many Roush Rangers out there now....
(mine is build 002)
I can already feel the Roush Ranger force is getting stronger.... ?
Pretty soon we’ll have our own club, similar to the Elite Damper club!
Thanks, I saw that #2 serial number when I saw your truck. Mine is #44. Loving the way this thing handles, it’s not my Mustang but so far I’m having a good time driving it!
