And a few more shots with both my cell phone and my DJI Spark! The light from the sunsets was just perfect for this Hot Pepper Red color! Couldn't help but take some pics! The truck just looks so good! And the shots were more along the Lake Michigan shoreline and in Ludington State Park...
And just some more shots of the Ranger over our whole Easter weekend! It was great to put a bunch of miles on it and get to drive it more than just to work and around town! Really liked it! On the way up, we finally passed that 1000 mile mark! This was just after that (1074 Miles) whe we stopped...
Since installing now, I have put almost 700 miles on the bed cover! And it is working very well! Up in Ludington the cover was used in multiple positions, locked and unlocked, different speeds, and just all around had some very good testing from me and all seems to be working as it should! We...
So last Wednesday (April 17th), the bed cover finally came! And just in time for leaving for a trip to head Up North (in Michigan) on Thursday! My wife and I were able to get it installed in just a few hours and everything fits very well! Thanks @PandaMotorworks for the great suggestion and...
Also received my LED license plate lights and yellow LED fogs from @PandaMotorworks today! I took some OEM/baseline images tonight and will try to get to installing those soon! Hopefully in the next day or two! Super excited to get em in!
Also got some new decals installed on the truck...
Applied a Ceramic Coating to the Ranger this weekend and dang does it look great! I used the Avalon Kings Armor Shield IX Kit and am very happy with how it turned out! Especially for the price! It took me about 5 1/2 hours start to finish and I used about a bottle and a half of product on the...
Also got another package yesterday which was my AvalonKing Armour Shield IX Ceramic Coating. That will go on this weekend! But with the truck being outside, as well as it just looking so good with the Hot Pepper Red, I decided to invest a bit, while there is still minimal prep work needed to get...
My bed mat came yesterday! It was definitely a lot heavier than I expected, which is great! It is a solid piece!
The mat is also about a quarter of an inch thick.
It unrolled quickly and easily and just had to line it up in the bed! Simple as that! It has great grip on it and much easier...
Did some more hauling this weekend! Brought home a few wardrobes! Ranger hauled very well again! And man, I just love having a truck around again! Up to 710 miles for me currently!
Also, bed mat should be in on Tuesday, no word on the Bed Extender yet, and still waiting on the bed cover...
Ranger is looking great! And that new bumper is looking quite interesting! Will be excited to see how it looks on the truck! I went and checked out the shop you work at! you guys have some neat builds going on there too! I will interested to see of that Izuzu NPR turns out for sure! haha...
Just picked up the last of the components from REI yesterday evening! So all of the Rack Components are in and ready for the truck! Just waiting on the tonneau cover now! Man though, I feel pretty good about what is in some of those Yakima boxes though, as that Overhaul HD box was a heck of a...

Sunday also surprised us a bit here in Michigan with another dose of winter on the last day of March! 60s and sunny 2 or 3 days ago and winter again on Sunday! Crazy weather! And didn't think the Ranger would see any snow/ice until the end of the year! But that's Michigan weather for you...
Go to try out the Yakima GateKeeper this weekend! Picked my bike up from getting a tune up! It worked very well and was super convenient! This thing is definitely going to get a lot of use! Easiest way to install it is to hold the tailgate at a 45 degree angle to pass the straps through...
