I actually got my uncle to switch from a Maverik to the RR after I got mine.
He's been driving Fords his whole life and recommended this to me.

thats funny, my uncle has a maverick also. he had a 21 but traded it for a 25 bronco and then hated the bronco so traded back to a 26 maverick 2 months ago. he liked my ranger but its tall and his knees give him trouble so the maverick is nice and easy to get into

Last night finally wrapped up the Hertz 10” shallow mount subwoofer install in the rear passenger tub. Running it through the typical Kicker Keyloc d.s.p. and a still new in the wrapper 2007 Rockford Fosgate made in USA model Punch 300.1 that I’ve been sitting on for nearly 20 years. Did all the install myself (took me back to 90’s when my buddies & I did all our own stereo installs in our Broncos & Rangers & Fox Bodies).

Ran a 4 gauge lead back to the Punch amp and tapped into a remote turn-on free wire conveniently left by Ford under the left front kick panel. All out of sight under the driver side door trim panels. Bass control EQ knob back up into the center console. Install was made a breeze with the use of Sounds Good Stereos Keyloc kit which included the wiring harness that goes right into the factory amp and sends the proper wires to the d.s.p. Literally Zero splicing into the factory harness. Plug & Play - Literally. Plus, it’s set up & tuned for the Ranger from SGS so the Keyloc is ready to go - no programming.
Also wired in an Infinity 2 way 3 1/2” into the center channel and sound deadened the tub while I had it exposed.
Next stop is Focal’s in all 4 doors which will get a complete sound deadening treatment - just need it to warm up so I can be guaranteed proper adhesion.

The 10” Hertz sub CANNOT be expressed in words what an upgrade it is over the measly 5 1/4” factory offering.

can’t find any info on these front coil sumosprings. Only see the rear stuff. Where did you get them?

I got mine from eTrailer.com, but you can also purchase them directly from the manufacturer SuperSprings International. I believe they're manufactured in Southern California.

Got new flags on the fenders.

Is that the stealthtech sub box and adventure lab amp mount? Looking to do something similar, Your setup looks great.

Looks good

Yes - exactly on both! Got the box out of Australia in about 10 days for roughly $210 with tariffs and all to WA State. Great box! I went ahead and sound deadened the exterior and a couple of the bigger flatter panels inside. Also sound deadened the entire empty sheet metal tub before the box went in.

The AAL amp mount was also a well made piece that made install a breeze and fit very well to the back of the cab. Just keep in mind that there’s a 4-5 week lead time on this item. I don’t think they manufacture one until the order comes in, so plan in advance for that piece, but it’s worth the wait.

Hope that helps!

Learned how to change a flat. Less than 100 miles on her.
I'd say practice taking that spare down, took us forever to figure out that funnel guide on the side of the road.

Driving through a wet area in road from a spring and asphalt broken up. I heard something Metallica then pop.

You can omit the acting cross bar(lug wrench) shown above by chucking the square male(smaller hollow square end) end of one or both lengths of socketing pipes directly into a good drill chuck, or grind down a square extension as an adapter to fit the hollow inner square of the smaller male end to rapidly raise and lower the wheel. It's very satisfying to do that, and so much quicker, I can share a photo of the adapter tool I made if helpful
