I think of they ever did a Ranger "Lobo" I would be down with body color flares. To me, that kind of looks like a fleet vehicle with the current suspension, wheel, and tire set up.
I had the FP Tune on my 2024 XLT 2.7. It really smoothed out the shift points. Sport mode became "Baja Lite" in the 2.7 with the tune.
I'm taking it easy with the Raptor for the first 1000-1200 miles to break in. Signature Lux DRLs are on the way tho. Not sure if I'll do the FP Tune or Cobb...
I put them on when the truck was new, but Inhave no regrets. I've upgraded intercoolers on other cars, but this was the first set of charge pipes I've upgraded. No ragerts.
CVF makes intercooler (charge) pipes and Intercooler for the 2.7. I have them on my 2024 and the install wasnt too bad. I think CVF lists them for the Bronco, but they fit the Ranger without modification.
I love the tune on thr 2.7L. Shift points are the biggest difference. My wife recently filled the tank with 87 out of habit, so I threw the stock tune back on, used the tank of gas, and installed the Ford Performance tune again when I filled up with 93.
I can't for the life of me find or confirm if there is a Ford Performance Splash Screen that fits the 12" inch touch screen for the Ranger in Forscan. I have the tune and thought it would be cool to update the Splash screen.
Nope, it sucked. Not enough room to get a good purchase on it - and the screws are barely finger tight. With the horn pulled, I was literally able to pull the bottom screw and fender side screw with a bit driver in seconds. That top inside screw is in a really tight, confined space.
Yeah, that would work. This is how I rigged up my wrench which is similar to what you are describing. I did a quick wrap around this to bind the tape to itself.
Its just tedious and there is no quick way to do it. Its not hard. Had I started with what I know now, and using my $3 self fabricated tool first (and maybe a buddy) I could knock this out in under 4 hours.
