Installed these so the rear seatbelts stop flapping around with the windows open.

I ordered these. Found out the hard way they only come one per pack. Waiting the other one to arrive!

Changed my CHMSL and bed lights to LED's and added a brake strobe controller.

Was going to do that to my Lariat but the LED light just has a light board in it and all the wires are the same color.

Got rid of the shitty stock lugs and replaced with some that won't get all swollen in a few years. Actually think I prefer the black over the chrome as well.

To anyone that hasn't seen the previous threads about the stock lugs: you will want to replace these sooner rather than later. You are saving yourself a headache before the stock lugs swell up (and they will) and you can't get them removed. Had the same issue with my ST a few years ago.

I ended up going with these since they were cheap and seemed perfectly fine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08429TQZ5

Here's the old thread though

Added a few visual mods and did a full wash, decontamination, paint correction, polish and C6 Hyrdo Lite ceramic. It’s slowly getting there.

Installed the KICKER - Hideaway 10" Compact Powered Subwoofer ac ouple days ago (it's a tight fit with the jack there) and my Gator SRX Roll-Up Tonneau Cover last night.

Speaker might have a little to much base for this old man.

Thats all the immediate items i have to do. Will likely do a ceramic coat on the windows for the heat.

Next week I'll hopefully get her all cleaned up as I've been waiting since the clear bra was installed.

Installed the Banks Pedal Monster today. Pretty easy install.

I see I'm late to the party but here you go:

Does anyone know what material surface #11 is made of? I worry it may be petroleum based. These are listed as latex rubber. Reason I ask is because I took #11 off and noticed an oily residue and a slight bump in the plastic underneath. I would have thought all the internal plastics were polymers but those don't react to latex. Oil based plastics, however...

So warning, anyone with these might want to check that one specifically.

Actually you can to a point. I'm really considering getting the top of the windshield tinted. In Texas it is allowed down to the "A S1" line, which on the Ranger is several inches. I'm thinking this because today i was driving at high noon and there is a weird concave glare on the instrument cluster that went away if i put my hand near that line. https://www.dps.texas.gov/section/vehicle-inspection/window-tinting-standards

I'm also in Texas, when I bought my previous car, it already had a brow that was about 6" tall, well below the AS1. In 3 years with that car, I never had any cops hassle me over it. I really liked having it.

So on the Ranger I got a brow that goes down about 5", inline with the bottom of the camera system. Very happy with it.

Great addition, thanks for sharing! Your Ranger is looking good

Installed the 4Dtech Start/Stop Eliminator this morning. Some blood was shed in the process. My meat nuggets for fingers could not get the connector off the Gateway Module and the 4Dtech video made it look easier than it was for my anyways. Wound up unbolting the Gateway Module to pull it out for access. Installed the Eliminator and bolted everything back up and it works as advertised.

Well that was a pain in the butt! I had to remove the Module as well. Heads up to anybody else trying to do this. Some of the plastic molding around the wires are razor sharp . It's not really a job if you didn't bleed. Right?
But it works great and was worth the 100 bucks IMHO

Hand wash, clay bar, ceramic coat. Highly recommend the clay bar, I was surprised how many contaminants came off the "new" paint.

That is because the trucks sit on the lot of the assembly plant for weeks on end before they get transported. There’s a lot of smog and shit in the air that sticks to the fresh paint.
