Installed Muslogy mudflaps. A pretty simple job.

Posting bc this is one of the most popular threads on 5g, and a lot of 6g's are being delivered, so let the hi-jinx begin!

Today I recycled 1. My Coverking neoprene charcoal & black seat covers. They were still like new from Pepper, my 2019 5g 2. Also the black solid lug nuts (replacing the 2-pc chromed OEM). 3. My Amp Research Bed Extender, only 1 of 2 holes on the brackets lined up, so its temporary until I can drill the other two. Ford did well to keep the factory threaded holes from being sprayed withbedliner. 4. The Gator EFX hard cover was recycled the other day, it fit the new bed perfect. 5. Husky front and rear floor mats were also repurposed the other day. 6. Vault Cargo Management hitch lock, 4 years old and no rust like many complained about!

NEW STUFF: 1. Yesterday I installed new Go Rhino running boards, RB20's (look like Raptors, to me)...didn't get the factory ones bc in my experience they rust readily, and the RB10's looked like new on my 5g over 4 years of use! I like the RB20's better. 2. Had to add a decal to identify Olaf, on the back window.

Waiting on foam tape to add the front seal to the Gator cover. Only thing didn't fit was the console tray, the new console is bigger.

How do you like your bed extender?
Added a tonneau cover yesterday.

Amazon dude just walked up and handed me this.

Woohoo, @Muslogy Auto mud flaps from the recent give away. my father in law's truck will look even better now that it matches my son's truck and my truck, ha ha ha.

thanks Muslogy!

Just gave it a coat of wax.

I used my Adarac rails and cross bars, but mounted them with strut channel 90° brackets to lower the cargo rack down quite a bit. Much easier to access and I can still open the first third of the tonneau.

Been driving mine from CA since Monday morning. I’m now in AR. Been getting good MPG 25+ hwy and haven’t had ideal conditions most of the time. Bad rain and winds too.

Just finished up a custom powder coated black hex lower bumper grille, it turned out better than I expected...

Added bumper lights.
Diode Dynamics SSC2’s
Having issues with the main beam so a replacement is being sent. But I managed to get the backlight to kinda work when I jam a zip tie in the side of the connection.
Pretty excited to see the results with the replacement!

is this a before and after shot? if so, what am i looking at?

 

[ATestBishop]

This image is a tighter, more closeup shot taken at the same time as the other, highlighting the custom hex grille I installed on the lower bumper in front of the intercooler. In person it really looks integrated and OEM looking I think

 

[superj]

i thought that is what you were pointing out. it does look great and i think there is normally no grill in that area, right? you are protecting the intercooler surface with that grill?

 

[ATestBishop]

Thanks I appreciate it, yeah I didn't like that the area was just open so wanted to do something that looks integrated, the material allows ~80percent flow thru and protects the veins on the intercooler from blockage or significant damage from debris. The owner of the supplier company wants to offer a drop in kit for 24-25+ Rangers which I thought was awesome

 

[superj]

nice!! for sure that sounds like something we should all probably have
