What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

[OrangeStreak]

SportWing body side moldings...pre-painted with black insert...I love them!

Nice!

Steve,
This is how the the Ranger5g Money Pit cycle works:
1. Buy some new Ranger goodies ... 2. Check the account balance next month

Nice!

Isn't THAT the truth?...even 2 years on, I'm still "accessorizing"?

New truck box mounts.

These Weird looking things work way better than these cooler looking ones did. The ones in the second link won't clear the plastic bedrail cap to actually grip the metal bed rail. The new ones were more difficult to get in place, but grip well when tightened.

I have been looking for a setup like you're describing, but I am missing the adapter that lets you use the LightForce switches. Is there something not in this picture?

That little baggie next to the Trigger box is what Tigger calls a “DIN Connector Harness.” It plugs into the back of the controller, gets routed through the firewall, and connects to your standard switches.

Some might ask “Why would you do this when the Trigger is designed to avoid running cables into the cab?” But, this still makes for an easier install, running one cable instead of several, gives you the stock look of the Lightforce facia, with the benefits of the Trigger, such as dimmable lights, remote switches, and strobe functions.

Got my new black lug nuts and installed them. Look much better than the OEM two piece nut with the magnetic sport rims. Match the OEM lugs for size of taper and bulge size. Checked thread length and fit, all good.

Torqued one up and seat matches well. We'll see how they last.

Got them off Amazon for $24.29 +tax for a set of 24. I'll post a link when I get on my computer.

I got a console organizer, a set of Husky floor liners, a set of WeatherTech mudflaps, a ball hitch, a Truxedo Deuce bed cover, and, of course, a Dee Zee damper!

For a change, absolutely nothing. I felt like Charlie Brown waiting out by the mailbox. ?

Lee, just curious...are you planning on installing Lug locks? Got them on mine.

No, tire and wheel theft is not a big think here in the upper Midwest. My opinion on wheel locks is they only slow Down the rookies anyway. Pipe that slips over them and a 4 pound sledge. Bam, snap the stud. Just a bigger pain when you need to rotate tires.

Does the taper length match OEM ?

Right, nothing is fool proof and a thief can get around any device to prevent such. They usually hit when and where your not expecting them. I put them on in the hope that this extra step will help deter an attempt. Someone tried to break out the driver's door lock on my previous Ranger in a Gym parking lot during the daytime. I have become very careful when and where I park now

 

[FeudalCross]

1) Dee Zee Tailgate Damper (Boy I don't think I could have got that installed without the YouTube video)
2) CravenSpeed Stubby Antenna (Got that on without any instructions)
3) BAKFlip MX4 Bed Cover. (Might be a weekend job but great instructions on YouTube by Noah from Stage3)

 

[Pinepig]

One half of my shipment of the global rear springs coming from the UK. 6 days to California, not bad E-bay, not bad. We'll see if I get the other one tomorrow.

I'm learning that my Ranger is much like my Harley ... when you purchase it, that is just a down payment on mods ...
