Got some video and pics of all 4 Rangers together on likely the last time.
‘The Lariats will be in the hands of my sales guys next week.

Looks as though the Channellock racks/rails worked well?

Yea, we got them dialed in fitting nicely last week.

Even though I did order them with Stake pocket mount option. That was a bit cheesy and ended up also drilling a couple holes per side to get them well secured.

The stake pocket mount basically attaches them to the plastic caps not really all that confidence inspiring considering there is likely to be ratchet straps strapping down pallets of product.

So, not what I did to my RR, but what my RR did to me. 🤣

So I was disconnecting the battery charger SAE connector near the battery when my right forearm knocked out the hood prop rod and hood fell right on my head.

Yeah, the Raptor has teeth! 🤣

Hey dumb question, did all 2025s come with a radio antenna that's supposed to be coming out of the back of the shark fin? I just noticed mine doesn't have any and it appears there may be a spot for one to screw in.

Yes, all 24 and 25 models should have a stubby sticking out the top of the shark fin.

Yea mines definitely MIA. But I did have an extra hood pop lever in there for some reason...
Get a Cravenspeed Stubby. They have several different sizes/styles. I got the Jr for the low profile look and clearance. Some say they lose more reception than they desire but mine works for the range I need. Rarely listen to radio anyways, I prefer streaming from phone.

Today I added Method 703’s and a Ford hard folding bed cover.
Debating on the ADD edge bumper next, but I’m being quoted insane rates on an install… Amazing how every shop in Denver is bursting with pride…their labor rates are borderline delusional!

Ok, what OEM wheel did you have and what did you do with them?

Got StubbyJr in the mail today, installed. Looks good, I wouldn't have liked the long antenna anyway (might have hit garage door too).
