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

[Dr. TJG DVM]

After a month and a half of cold, finally a warm sunny day! Took advantage to install the tonneau that has been taking up space in garage for a month. Gator FX3 hard folding from RealTruck. Pretty basic install; took my time so I could enjoy the weather. Excellent fit. After getting in and out a dozen times, really happy I got the side bed step when I ordered the truck . Suspect it will need some fine tuning after a bit, but that should be pretty simple. Nice sturdy product.

Also removed the dealership decal and license plate frame- they aren’t paying me for advertising space

I got a replacement tonneau cover from Ford and I couldn't be happier. They definitely made things right. I now have clip for the prop rods and everything works the way its supposed to. Only thing I'm not sure about is what the yellow straps are for, anyone know what purpose they serve?

The yellow straps clip onto the tie-down anchor.
The clip on the straps on my tonneau did not fit the factory tie-down anchors on the 2025 RR.
My tonneau cover included replacement tie-down anchors, however I just used a quick link (not sure why they are called quick links) to attach.

Thanks, I wondered if that's what it was. Mine aren't big enough either, I'll have to grab a quick link or a carabiner.

I did the break in oil change at about 1,100

miles. And then I added grill lights!

$35 on Amazon. My wife wanted it to blend in with headlights so white. Glad we added it

Do you have a link for the lights? Thanks

What brand of foam cannon are you using? How well does it work? Got to find a good way to get the undercarriage cleaned. Between the freshly sprayed beet juice and heavy salt, I cringe every time I take her out.

It's not the best foam cannon out there. Just a cheapy from Amazon. I've had it for over 2 years now and does a good job. Just gotta get down on your knees and point the gun underneath and start spraying. Not super comfortable to do but theres no other easy way.

Thanks! Your post got me looking around. Think I'll pick up this inexpensive power washer that includes a foam cannon.

I was just watching this video, may help with your foam cannon choice.

 

[Maybe]

I got my foam cannon on Amazon in 2016 and it’s always been great.

Do you have a link for the lights? Thanks

You can pick either amber or white.

Awesome! That Astro AI is impressive. Thanks!

I installed the Digital Twin tailgate seal. It looks like it should keep out the water and dust. One thing to note, if you have the Bedrug Classic full liner, you can no longer allow the fold between the bed and tailgate to drop downwards into the gap when closing the tailgate as the Digital Twin lip seal runs across the bottom and the Bedrug will bind up and the tailgate won't close.

Note where my A.R.E. widow seals hang down I fed them inside the D seals.

Very nice lights! It lights up everything!

Washed it and ran some errands (and finally got a pic of it somewhat clean):
