Project Msfitoy V3.0

[Msfitoy]

I'm on it. Do you know which of the samples on the site matches Ranger's color pallet? That would be helpful. Need to know so we can get the right vinyl for cutting.

We'll probably have to run a few trials to make sure they fit right.

I was away on a trip but will resume making template for my decal guy to make some test cuts...stay tuned...

Thanks much...the beams are there to help with offset crash deflection but their benefit compromises the usable tire envelope. Yes, you can lift and keep those beams...however, once the truck begins using it's full articulation while off road with larger than OEM tires, they will make contact with the beams...something I'd rather not encounter when a tires in a ditch or on top of a rock at full lock

So if your fat tires can't steer full lock while in a lowered position (OEM), then they're only good if you don't ever use full articulation

Got ya. Good to know cause I definitely plan to go with a bigger tire!

That nasty unfinished bright key hole is dead...once you've noticed this bright spot (that you'll never use), you'll never un-see it...clean it with acetone, mask and paint flat black

And the LED pods are complete...two pairs of Rigid spot and flood up high, Procomp spot in the grill and Diode Dynamics in the headlamps

And trail floods to cover the rear...I'll have them amber lens later...

Side floods on the list after I manage a Diamondback with RTT racks and rock lights should complete the lighting...

Garage cleaning day...all the toys out in the hot sun...

Eibach Pro Lift coming tomorrow and I can't wait! I'm working on getting my shortwave licence and in the mean time, the antenna has been set. Now I need to sort out how to get the coax cable head through to the cab in a smart manner...

Looking forward to see that eibach kit results!

Excellent build, my man! I'm curious if your vinyl guy would be interested in custom color FX4 badges for me; I want to make a matte bronze set to match my wheels.

According to the instructions for the Pro Kit (which is poor and none specific to Ranger), they recommend using the lowest ring which would provide 3" lift or second ring providing 3.5" lift. The fourth and fifth if a no go with Eibach spring and would damage the suspension. I'm going with 3".
