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

[NeilP]

They don't seem to really do anything (Already installed em) but they sure make it look better under the hood. Next item will be the side-weather strips, but I'm less motivated on those...

for future reference, they go in in this orientation (Driver side, passenger mirrored)

Lube the bottom "T" shaped part with silicone or whatever and match the slot. Slide right in.

Thanks for the photo.
I have a brand new bottle of Eaton Eaton "O" ring lube sitting on the work bench. Slickest stuff I've ever run across.

I got my permit for Ka'ena Point State Park (green sticker)! Can't wait to take the Ranger out to the point for some fishing and camping. Also, even though I told the dealer not to do it, they put the safety inspection sticker (white sticker) on the painted bumper. Finally today it's off the paint!!! Small victories. Hawaii loves stickers.

Damn right they do. Isn't the inspection required for registration? What's the point of 2 stickers?

To collect more fees from us

Normally yes, surprisingly the Kaena Point sticker is free.

Yeah, safety is required. They are sticklers about stickers. I already had mine but the dealer put it on the paint instead of a bracket like they told me they’d do. The green sticker is only required for admission into state parks past a locked gate.

Essential item: back pad for what feels like plastic seats. Not sure why theres barely any padding for my lower back on my truck...

Also hood bumpers cause ford screwed me on those too.

So what the heck is that hood bumper? A deleted item from my 2022?

Ugh, now I need to order these! Sheesh, does it ever end?

And what are "side weather strips"?

Those sound important for this winter and keeping my mouse refugees warm and dry under their engine cover ...

Update: Oh no, it doesn't fit the '22?!?

There's just a penny or two left in the back corner of my safe. It was looking pretty good until the Ranger came along and I had to start buying all the parts that Ford left off.

It'll fit, not sure why it says it wont but it will.

Also, side weather seals go under the hood on both sides.

Little hard to see but theres rubber seals on the side edge of the hood from the 2019s.

If you ever wondered why you have bunch of small holes there... its cause its where the push pins go through...

My 2021 has the hood side seals, but no bumpers. Before I buy em, curious as to any HP increases they may provide !
I've come to the conclusion that any more mods I do must not only be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but must provide a noticeable HP increase.
