Yeah they tuck in very nicely I definitely like how they look. Heres a link for them.https://www.stage3motorsports.com/6...ab-Go-Rhino-RB20-Bedlined-Running-Boards.html
Thank you for the link, they don't give these away do they ;)

They look great, and you still feel you get enough foot purchase in & out to still be usable? That is my problem with steps, some of the most usable ones stick out quite a bit. Have not yet decided on a set, I know they protect you from idiots who slam their car doors into them instead of your truck. My brother in-law has a set on his GMC and was showing me all the dings just last week. I might use my Ford points on the pair they offer, blacked out for the SuperCab.

You sound like we could be twins!! I do the same,insurance one payment/yr,new truck every 3 but I do write it off for business and girlfriend leases a new car just so she has a newer,safe vehicle.

I've used my HELOC in the past when it just wasn't worth the aggravation going through the loan process either with the dealer or the bank. Most told me I was crazy using a HELOC but a lot of people don't know how to handle their finances. I've always lived within my means and never "lived" for a house,car,motorcycle...etc! I've worked on so many McMansions and never can understand why 4 people need that much space? The house I'm working on now is 4350 sq ft and 2 people live there:question:To each their own but I hate hearing people say I'll never be able to retire yet they're the first one in line for the newest......fill in the blank,new cars, fancy vacations and Starbucks everyday!

Yep, you are right, nothing wrong with using a HELOC for SHORT TERM money. If one holds the title and gets in a bind, selling a self-titled truck is easy or refinancing. People that use their HELOCs can easily be swayed by the extra low payment.
Personally I would rather pay off the truck than invest that money safely at 3% Markets are cooling off. I'd say use your HELOC for short term needs with the intention of paying it off sooner than they would like LOL

Got my Bedrug installed and washed the truck for the first time since driving it home from Oregon after getting it smogged and going to the DMV to get it inspected.

All I did was sweep the 12” of fresh snow off my truck this morning, then took it out and tried out 4LO. I’m impressed, this truck is a tank in the snow! I didn’t try out the snow terrain mode but maybe next time. I also really like how if you lock the rear axle for stop and go in town for traction then hit the highway it’ll unlock on its own if I forget to do it manually.

Because she deserves the best this Holiday Season....:inlove:
I would definitely get a locking pin for that. Looks like a very nice/expensive setup!

I want a locker! :( I wonder how difficult it would be to integrate the factory FX4 diff into my system. :sunglasses:

I'm not too sure, but it'd probably be expensive. If someone makes an aftermarket limited slip that would probably be a much more economical solution!

I seen a bubble on one of my doors today. Noticed the black part wasn’t plastic. So I took it off. I figured it was going to peel anyway. To my surprise it’s painted under there. So this is what I did to my Danger today.

Sick lift!

I washed & waxed the Ranger for the first time! Needs some paint correction that I hope claybar will take care of. Also noticed a bump under the clear coat on the passenger door.

Me and the misses took it out for a Sunday dinner. A 100 mile round trip! Well worth the ride. She approved!

I wonder if all the Rangers are painted under the black door pillar post. I would think so. Sure thought it was plastic. Peeled right off. I think it looks good white between the two windows.

Funny how you can find any excuse to drive your Ranger lol I'm always like "what do you need,I'll go get it". :)

The wife and I are doing our weekend driving in the '18 Camry.
It gets about 40mpg on the hwy the way she drives it. :crackup: I just put the passenger seat back, relax (try at least) and let her do the driving.

It's also insanely comfortable.
