What did you do to your Ranger Raptor Today?

[yoopercharged]

Tuxedo Pro X15 installed. Went with a soft roll up cover this time as all my hard covers have either made a bunch of noise or got damaged during high speed off-roading. $450 through RealTruck after a forum discount and rebate. I like this cover over others because it’s a canvas material, sort of like a Jeep soft top, vs. the standard vinyl/fake leather.

I'm not sure how to post a link but I got the ones for a 21-23 f150 from f150 leds.com

How large of a hole did you have to drill to feed the connectors through?

I used a 1/4 inch bit

I got my M&R light bar installed today. It's the most discreet light bar I've seen, I love it! I went out and tested it at night and it works great. A much higher throw than even the high beams.

No modifications needed, it was a really easy install. They have a video how-to on installing it.

Hand wash, iron remover, clay bar, and sealant.

What did I do to my Ranger Raptor today?

Brought it home yesterday and installed 'Red Back' splash guards front & rear, removed the bed decals, Rain-X on the windows and just finished the ceramic coat.

I leave town tomorrow to go visit Family, so I at least wanted to get the ceramic coat on. Sadly, it won't be fully cured by the time I leave, so I'll end up applying it again once I get back.

It'll be broke in and ready for it's first oil change once I get back.

I may have lucked out with this one. The fit, finish, panel gaps and so on are all really good and even. The only odd thing is it arrived with 30 miles on the odometer. I'm going to assume it was one of those pulled randomly for quality assessment.

The doors open and shut nice without needing to slam them. No mis-matched trim coloring.

Once piece of 'lint' in the paint back by the antenna (which I took care of before ceramic coating).

Appointments have been made for spray-in bedliner and ceramic window tint.
(I don't know why it triple posted my picture, but it won't let me remove the extras)

That's a great looking Ranger, Mike ?. Thanks so much for sharing!

I installed these $33 LED lights under the bumper for backup aux lights on the AUX 3 switch. I wanted smaller sized lights with a lot of lumens. They are bright, but don't blow you away with immense lumens. I think they claim 1,800 Lumens. I'm not sure if that is each or total output. The low placement is good to keep them out of the way, but may limit light-throw a little. Overall, I like them and really like the AUX switches in this truck. So cool!

By the way, I used the Brown wire for (+) and the Black/Green for (-). They were super easy to find in the back of the truck right above the bumper on the driver's side. I can't say enough what a nice feature the aux switch function is.

I saw that Redline Tuning released their Bolt In Hood QuickLIFT system for the Ranger and had to get a set. I've had their products on my Mustang for many years and they are awesome! I got them and installation was less than 10 minutes as they come with a color instruction manual and bolt into factory locations. These things work great, they raise the hood quickly and then slow down nicely before reaching the top. They even raise the hood higher than the factory prop rod. They are even made is the USA and have a 4 year warranty.

Swapped out the steel spare rim for an OEM Raptor rim with TPMS so I can rotate the K03 tire and not have it go to waste.

LOL. I sent them two DMs and never heard back. Could be a bot.
