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

[AkRanger]

Well this is my attempt at artistic license (please don't zoom too close). I wasted a LOT of time and effort on this. The paint sticks but since it's squishy foam, any pressure cracks it and it peels. All I got out of it is a nice picture before it all comes apart and flakes off. More lipstick!

Maybe try some black Flex seal?

Thank you for your service, are these the letters you put on with tape to remove from backing? How hard were they? Thanks in advance..

Nah, I wanted the orange with the Ford logo. Otherwise I wouldn't have painted it at all.

Where did you purchase this from amd what did you paint it with?

 

[OFC Ranger]

Ditto. Sure would be nice if places would quit mailing unsolicited and unwanted crap. Only positive I can think of is that someone has a job.

It is probably a machine sorting and spitting it out. So not even a human has a job to spam us.

Where did you purchase this from and what did you paint it with?

I ordered it from Varsity Ford here in Michigan. For some reason they told me I needed a couple of other bolts that I didn't need. You can order from pretty much any Ford dealer - Engine Cover (L1MZ-6A949-A), Lower Track Nut (W520201-S450B), Engine Cover Stud (W714647-S450B). It says it's for a Lariat but it fits my XL just fine.

I don't recommend painting it because it WILL crack and peel. Hell, I took off a little section of paint just with my fingernail accidentally grazing it. I just used plain old spray paint and liquid frisket to mask off the logo.

I masked off the "Ecoboost" and "Ford" lettering and sprayed the oval blue. Once the oval was dry I masked it as well and then sprayed everything orange (it took soooo many coats and had to be done very lightly because it ran easily). Once it was thoroughly dry I took an X-ACTO and cut the paint along all of the masks and peeled them up (I had a hell of a time with it flaking and chipping). Then I ran over the lettering with a white paint pen. Lastly, I cried at how much time I had wasted for something that won't last.

I probably could have done more research to find something more appropriate but, for a smart man, I'm kinda stoopid.

Looks great though, still debating on getting it or not. Sounds like it not worth the energy to paint...

It IS pretty. For now.

Today I got a Daystar 2" level kit dropped on my porch.

After a pretty long wait........
‘Ordered sept 11th 2020,My rear Icon shocks showed up today!!!!!!!!!

Now I can finally finish off my stage 2 setup!

The front is amazing compared to stock,and I must admit,the Rough Country shocks I installed on the rear to get me by,served me very well. That being said,though,I will be installing the Icons post haste!
pics of course

 

[Hardy12000]

I recieved my 2.5 inch level kit, and raptor style lights (4)

Also, not related to the truck, but my concealed pistol license was in there as well.

 

[Glocker]

No fun pics, but I received some nylon webbing and various buckles to make a hanging camp kitchen table! I'm excited about this!

 

[Stevo56]

Nothing spectacular. Just like the look better.

It’s always great when that happens.
