Looks great! What kit did you use??

Thanks! Used the foxbeam G4 Baja designs s1 bracket and got the H11 to fog connector adapter form SPV parts to make this a plug-and-play install.

I thought about upgrading my XLT fogs to amber color but then thought better not. The XLT uses the fogs as turning lamps.

Gotcha that makes sense. The Raptor has the cornering lamp built into the headlight so these don’t turn on unless I turn the fog lights on.

Looks like the brackets are out of stock, so can’t get exact link, but here’s the screenshot for them.

Washed it, waxed it and vacuumed it.

Checked my TireRack order of Method 705's for the 100th time because they keep changing the freakin' ship date.....

Was the 19th, then it went to 14th, now it's the 15th. Good grief Charlie Brown, ship the FREAKING WHEELS! MY TURN!

It'll be good to see those wheel on an SG RR.

the ranger did truck work sunday, picking up a bowflex hillclimber a dude was selling for cheap. since then, its been parked in the shade of the carport while the mazda3 does the back and forth to work drive each day

Mine's gonna be covered in 10+ inches of snow in the next 2 days. Hope I can get it in the garage at work beside the fire truck.

Took mine in for the Side Airbag recall and to figure out why my FordPass App wasn’t updating my truck since Jan1. It was updating my Bronco so it was my truck. Turned out the battery was failing. Never got a warning or anything. Truck is less than a year old at least in my ownership. Probably close to a year in build date as i picked it up April 2025. Under 10k Miles too. But other than a few light finger dirty finger marks the install of the liner looks good and no messed up plastic. Just gonna take a little interior cleaner and a microfiber and clean up the prints.

Had some strategic PPF applied, including this. They removed the factory protection and installed 12 mil 3M with rolled edges, plus it comes up higher on the fender.

Ill post pics once I get them on the truck...assuming they dont keep endlessly pushing the date around. Now its backs to 16th

its a 2018 touring. dude, this mazda is the first mazda we have ever owned and we have had it since 21, i think, but if i would have ever known how nice the mazda cars were, i think i would have gotten my kids these for their first cars. they are fun to drive, get good gas mileage, have a very sporty feeling, and a super comfortable interior. ours is a black sedan with the black and coffee leather interior.

my wife wanted to trade it for her current wrangler a few years back and i told her no, we will keep the mazda and trade my nissan titan in.

We love ours, had a CX-9 which we "downgraded" from to a CX-50 since we got the Raptor, that's now our "family traveling car" where prior the Raptor the 9 filled the "everything family" role.

I had a MX-5 M-edition back in college, so that was my first Mazda (old school, eternal flame symbol before they had the "M" most people are familiar with now days). Awesome little car for its time, but I love the little 3 carbon.

I've gotten up to 44.5 mpg with that, makes 191 hp, which isn't massive, but it's lightweight and has a nice little pull to it for a non-turbo 4 cylinder. Chassis tuning is absolutely stellar and class leading, and I personally really dig the new gen aesthetics, I think they look as good or better than other brands.

By only gripes are with the stupid piano black center console plastic and the non-premium seat material. Piano black looks great when new, within a month it scratches like crazy and looks like crap. Seats got some surface scuffing, no physical damage, but the outer layer scuffed off in a few places from an EDC belt that's rigid.

Comfort wise, seats are very comfy and well fitted, maybe not as fitted as the Raptors, but they aren't designed to hold you in place for off-roading either. Overall, love the dynamics of the 50 and 3 for daily drivers.

BTW the Turbo 3 is as fast as the RR stock vs. stock. Both run 14.1 quarters, although the Raptor is a bit faster 0-60, the Turbo 3 makes it up on the back half being 2k lbs lighter lol. Mine's just the 2.5L NA though.
