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

[Tracy Bowman]

Nothing like free advertisement.....

Well...I AM getting older. Just don't want to forget the name in case I don't see the other 85 Ranger logos that are on it

Didn't actually receive it in the mail but ordered this smart battery charger and maintainer from Ford accessories through my local dealer. I was trying to use up my FordPass points and saw this on anther thread thanks to @Figarou. Called the dealer Friday at 9:45am and they called me at 1:15pm to say it was already in. Picked it up this morning and had no trouble using my points,I think with tax it was around 29,000 points.

Good video in this post describing it.

It's nice they give you the option to mount the pigtail to the battery post or just use the clamps.

Fender Vents they are Ford parts but bought them through Rogue-Offroad, they had the best price.

Got my new hitch cover! I like it!

*looks at tailgate*

Is that a Ford Ranger?

*looks at hitch cover*

Heavens to Betsy! It shore is!

It's a good thing you have that hitch cover. I never would have guessed you have a Ford Ranger.

Ordered a bunch of recovery gear. Some arrived this weekend.
Tow/extension strap 30' x 3"
"tree-saver" strap 10' x 3"
Shackles
2x 3/4" Bow shackles
2x 1/2" soft shackles
Snatch block
Tire deflaters set of 6
Yet on the way is 20' x 3/4" snatch rope; pair of Recovery tracks; Viair 88p air compressor.

None is top of the line. Just researched and came to Amazon; found reasonable pricing with decent (and hopefully reliable) reviews. Excluding the compressor it was around $150. So far, what I have seems like I can trust it. I will go out and play with it some day to get a feel for it.

Probably overkill for how much I will be off road ( I plan on remaining pretty stock in my setup). But I'll feel better knowing I have some tools for getting unstuck if needed. And there is always the possibility of helping "someone else" out of the snow in winter ... or even on the trail.
It certainly is putting a bug in me to get off the beaten path (this stuff, and warmer weather as well).

Acquired 2 on ebay for $23. Nice full chrome badge, not a sticker.

Today was a good day and got a few parts in. Got my Switch-Pro SP9100 and mounting parts, Baja Designs revers light set, Ford hood deflector, and the Ford Pass side swing out tool box (no pic already installed before I thought about it).

@futat2 what is your take on the Baja Designs Backup light kit? Was it worth the money?

Yes I like the kit, i also really like Baja Designs lights and use them whenever I can. I even put them on my bike.

Just so you know, there's an optional cover found at Ford Performance.

You can also find it at Amazon.

Or at Levittown Ford parts

I purchased mine at Amazon.

Installed Turbosmart BOV Kompact Dual Port
Anticipating some questions:
Bought at Stage3MotorSport
It took about 10 minutes to install
I already have the Borla Performance Cat-Back exhaust S-Type system installed
Yes i felt the difference right away, this combination of mods pushes you back on your seat

Next mod to finish this power improvement will be the Roush Cold Air Intake, delivery delays over @LevittownFordParts.com (these guys have the best prices, so i will keep waiting) and the AFE Intercooler Pipes (BladeRunner 3”) also delivery delays @Stage3Motorsports

Not sure if I will do the Ford Performance Tune, waiting on some more conversation about the improvements in these blogs.

used points to pick up a Ford branded Bedrug.

MOLLE Tech Pouches from BuiltRight Industries. Installed behind rear seats, using it to store all the stuff i had back there (recovery gear, tie down ropes, some basic tools, tie wraps ...). They look great, sturdy and well designed.

do the "velcro" connectors seem sturdy? Do you have a guesstimate of the load they might handle?

Hows the squish factor behind the seat, is there enough room to fill the bags with stuff and still secure the seat without crunching the contents of the bags ?

So far so good, looks like anything you could fit in it will have the room for the seat to lock. It’s not like the bags can fit your kitchen sink ?
