What did you do to your Ranger today?

Wanted badge overlays so I did a random search and found this guy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/KJMenterprises?ref=sim_anchor
The price was right at $21.00 and the lead time was very fast. The quality and fit is awesome. Highly recommended.

Looks nice. Wonder how they will stand up to a car wash. I think the gloss black w/gloss red letters would look good on my rapid red w/black appearance package.

I hand wash the truck when it gets washed, but no sharp edges to sang the wash mitt.
Black and red would look good on your rig for sure.

Hand washing around here isn't an option (Duluth, MN) during the winter. 8 degrees for a high today.

Hi Gregg,

I remember that day fondly! Having been driving Ranger Prototypes for a few years before Job #1 it was a great moment...Who knew how well it would sell at launch but as they say....That is history! Ranger was a resounding success in its many permutations post model years! Proud to be part of that heritage!

Hey Phil.

That's so cool. I also bet it was fun driving around in a prototype that nobody had yet seen.

I am sure that I was there that day too. As I have mentioned here before, I worked there for an electrical contractor during the re tooling of the plant. We started with the old equipment tear out and stayed through start up. The pressure to keep the newly installed equipment running was pretty high.?

After that construction project wound down I moved on to The Marble Hill Nuclear power plant that Public Service Indiana was building. I had no idea at the time I would end up working my last 28 years before retirement as an electrician at Ford Kentucky Truck Plant, which is just across town from LAP.?

I put this camp kitchen work space together that conveniently stows away on top of my RTT's ladder, under the travel cover.

Very nice-looking setup!

First wash today since installing my leveling kit, spacers & tires a couple weeks ago. Installed the Raptor Style Grille lights from Stage 3 today as well.

Headache rack install. Step one of my kayak transport solution.

Looks very good especially with color of your truck.

They look great, nice addition. It’s so cool how many options there are to make your truck truly your own.

No resistors for the switchbacks. I went with Lasfit brand, canbus ready switchbacks (part number 7443 or 7444). Got them on Amazon. They look great! They’re very bright, but not too bright which I was worried about when I first bought them. If you go with Lasfit, you won’t need resistors or to mess with Forscan to turn off hyper flash. It’s literally just plug and play. Good luck.

Still happy with the Lasfit? What is the difference between the 7443 and 7444?

Indeed they are! I’ve only encountered rubbing one time so far and that was with 3 people inside.

But based on what I’ve read, you can gain 1/4-3/8 of an inch by loosening the crash bars, pushing them forward and retightening them. Just haven’t done it yet.

Awsome ! Thanks for the info... if i can get it cleared through my financial adviser ( AKA better half ) I plan to set up my Ranger as you have

Hi Folks,

I started my Ranger in the garage as it had sent me a Ford Pass note it was powering down due to neglect.... Dang Covid....

New to the forum, can anyone recommend a Ford dealer in Maryland who will install the Fox Tuned by Ford Performance Off-Road Suspension Leveling Kit, part M-18000-RA? I've called 5 dealers in the Baltimore area and each said they won't install it. I'm willing to drive, I'm just frustrated about not knowing where to go.

Tinted the Ranger and my wife's Explorer.

Ranger is 20% front sides, 50% windshield. Factory tinted rears. Might tint them later but havent thought about it too much.

Wifes is 20% all over. None on the windshield.

Looks nice on both vehicles, dig the blue. Did you go with ceramic tint?
