What did you DO TO your 6G Ranger today? 🧰 🛠️ ⚙️ 🧽

[ADVNTURR]

I would love something like these. If I read your post right, these were custom designed and cut? Are there any you know of available commerically?

Yes, you are correct, I designed these and then used a place called Send-Cut-Send to have them laser cut, bent, and coated.

The only ones I'm aware of are from the Australian company Pirate Camp Co but I wanted something a little different and also tariffs and international shipping weren't ideal.

I am looking into making a few to sell, just trying to figure out some logistics.

It was a busy day with my Ranger.

1. Installed a dash cam. Wired it to the mirror using a 5-pin type F tap kit available at Amazon.

2. Installed a screen protector over the center screen.

3. Installed a shorty AM/FM antenna.

3. FedEx showed up after lunch with my Realtruck Bakflip MX4 Tonneau Cover so that was installed this afternoon.

Think I'm wore out. Sitting in my man cave now with my GSD having an adult soda. Today is his BD. 9 years old.

Nice job and nice pup. Would you happen to have a link to the 5-pin type F tap kit you ordered? There are a few I found but they never seems to state for the Ranger.
Also a direct fit? If I recall the Dongar had to have connector filed down.

Drove 420 miles up to dallas Thursday after lunch and then back Friday morning. Sucked but at least the truck is comfortable.

Nice, well that was my next question, could the S-C-S place just recreate the same order, different shipping?

Here is a link and pic of the one I ordered. You won't use most of the stuff that comes with it.
Type F dongle

Yes, the connectors have to be slightly modified. Pretty easy. I used a Dremel to cut a groove along the yellow line on the one connector and to remove the ridge on the other. Everything snapped together with no problems afterward.

I hot glued the USB adapter into the recess on the right side of the mirror mount then cut a hole in the cover to match. I think it turned out okay.

This weekend I installed some grill lights from F150led and also installed a light bar from M&R Automotive. Just waiting on my amber DRL's from Signature Lux

The 4D tech auto start eliminator went in easy as can be and works perfect. Never again do I have to push that stupid button

Got the Procal tune installed today. WOW!! Transmission is night and day, MUCH more smooth and consistent in sport mode. And after just a little spirited driving it definitely pulls harder once it's in the power band.

Yeah...To me the front looks great, but the rear is a bit much. I like the running boards, too!

Maybe black tips in the exhaust will help? Or tinted tail lights
