What did you do to your Ranger Raptor Today?

[Top Fuel Friday]

Does the truck not already come with the anti theft alarm system??

What part number is that? Did it need to be dealer installed?

It has a basic alarm (door opened after lock by key fob) - P/N - ML3Z19A361A

Dealer installed? If you did it where does this plug into?

Fancied up my interior just a bit. Installed the soft open bracket from the Volkswagen Amarok in the glove box, took two minutes to install and prevents the box from just dropping open.

The Ranger became just a bit more custom today on a road trip back from Nashville. A wheelbarrow fell out of a truck and I couldn't swerve to miss it without hitting the vehicles beside me. Got slowed down but not before I pinballed the wheelbarrow off the front of the truck. The skid plate and tow hook took it like a champ with some minor cosmetic damage to the painted plastic piece above the tow hooks.

You just plug it into the gateway security module next to the glovebox, the online instructions make it pretty easy. Was maybe 15 min total? I did it my self.

Added the stealth light bar today, gonna test it out tonight. No interference with the shutters or any other piece. Took around 40 minutes to install.

The same thing happen to me driving back home cross country. Not as bad as yours but I ran over an already broken highway sign with post attached to it. I was going 80+, didnt have time to stop or move. So I just centered it and ran it over. Hit my bash plate pretty good but turned out fine.

Did you end up installing the optional LED light? Noticed this is a popular mod for the Broncos. Was thinking of running the LED in the dash center speaker grill.

Merely a flesh wound.

Got to see the progress on my Raptor today.
The vinyl wrap+ belly cladding and clear bra are on now.
The cladding under the front fenders does not fit properly , guessing it’s for a non Raptor.
‘The shop doing all the work has a plan to make some modification to those two pieces to make them fit.

The front pieces once modified should hide the pinch welds, any white paint still exposed under the wrap and cladding will get primed and painted black.

Clear bra was also completed. Tomorrow the windshield gets clear film protection, and the J-braces get installed.

I just received the bed mat from Ford, after initially ordering a bed rug from RealTruck (returned it - did not really want the carpet look).

Seems to fit perfectly
Also installed the redback mud flaps - easy installation.

Also installed the paracord grab handles that fit to the driver's and passenger headrest posts - makes it easier to get in the back seat - I always was grabbing the headrest anyway, but like the grab handles.
Also got some ceramic aftercare products, including the neutral PH car wash. Used the two-bucket method.
