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

[Shelpdogg]

Got the windows limo tinted a few weeks ago and Nitto Ridge Grapplers installed today!

Hey dram32....did you get any rubbing with the 285's?
A lot of what I am seeing is people suggesting 265's, but I would much rather have the 285's, even if they rub a little at full lock (R or L)
Thanks!
Mike

I pick up my 2024 XLT tomorrow btw.

They will fit with stock wheels but were really close, rubbing at times, to front wheel spindle. I've attached an image of where it was rubbing. I installed Borne wheel spacers to eliminate the rubbing on suspension until I get new wheels with a more negative offset than stock. With the wheel spacers there is plenty of room between the suspension and tire but the air dam/ wheel well lining will need to be trimmed a little to prevent it from rubbing in the front. With this combo the truck looks way more aggressive because of the tire stick out.

Installed a BMC replacement air filter yesterday. Not sure about any difference, but until a full intake is available here, Ill accept what I can get.

What is this and what does it do for you?

It's just an aftermarket blow off valve. Admittedly at best it's just louder than the stock one lol. But it puts a smile on my face, that's what it does for me. More/better engine mods to come as they are available.

Very nice.
Can't say that I have ever messed with these, so I had to look it up, and found video with a sound clip at the end.

It does give it a little more popoff sound.
Might have to get one and try it out.
Seems like that VR19 model fits both my 2.7L in my Bronco and the 3.0L in the Ranger Raptor.

I plan on getting this same one soon. You'll have to let me know how you like it, and what kind of difference it makes on a dark trail.

Absolutely - amazing what my old eyes can see when I enlarge the picture

I'm in the process of trying to seal up the bed before installing my soft fold tonneau. 1/4" nylon plugs are a hair too big for the 6 small (M6?) holes on the angled part of the bed firewall, and 3/16" are too small. In the meantime, I'm installing 3 3/16" threaded J-hooks in the header to hang my recovery strap and traction boards. The rest of the holes will be covered with some electrical tape for now.

1/2" plastic caps fit perfectly in the 5 holes on top of each bed rail under the stake pocket caps, but it's kinda moot given the slots in the bed rails. Taking the rail caps off is a right PITA and not worth the risk in breaking tabs off, IMO.

Still haven't determined the best option to fill the front upper corners of the bed. Those are some big, odd shaped holes.
