Installed the Rival 4X4 recovery points. Talk about a beefy design. They are rated to 5000KG working Load Limit.

The factory ones, while they get the job done, are just not on the same level. Lots of stamped steel. The Rival 4x4 is thick welded steel. It’s ready to pull a house down!

... wired up the M&R 40" light bar, added factory splash guards, and got in the first oil change. (all super easy diy.)

No, the M&R mounts uses the two bolts just ahead and outside of the vane system (similar to other behind-the-grill light bars) - the mount's pass through the front grill hex pattern. No cutting required.

*you'll spend more time on removing the bottom trim just below the grill than anything else in this install... (and that's not hard, just use a thin, ratcheted nylon trim remover to get your first purchase on a corner) ... It's super straightforward, took less an 40 min. * I went a bit ocd on my electrical connections and some cable routing stuff in the process... you could probably do it in less time without all that. 🤣

finally got to use that hitch extension i bought a few weeks ago. i kept my step in the bottom hole and put my bike rack in the top hole and it worked perfectly. the bike is higher than it used to be and farther way so i can now also put the tailgate down while keeping my bike on the rack. thats a nice plus. but not having to remove hte step to put the bike rack on is still the best part of this.

Had ceramic tint done today. 5% on the sides/back and 50% on the full front windshield.

What state? I had 5% all around on my last car but I don’t think my vision is the best for this even though I had it for years, may go 15% this time

I installed a Extang Trifecta 2.0 Tri-Fold soft cover from RealTruck today. A few hiccups with the install as I initially received a 2024 hardware package instead of a 2025. Took a week but got the correct hardware yesterday. The instructions regarding 2024 vs 2025 are a bit confusing, but after a phone call got it all straightened out. RealTruck responded promptly and resolved everything.

To me the cover is just a tad short overall. It's back a bit from the front bulkhead gasket and the rear bulb gasket barely catches the tailgate rail. We'll see how it performs if it ever rains here. 😉

Did my first adds to the Ranger XLT. Got the modular bedliner in at the Ford dealer last week, the RC neoprene seat covers and today we put the SyneticUSA tonneau on, the crossbars, and our bike trays. I don't know if I'd call any of that 'mods' but certainly personalizing :)
