Nice setup, is there any way to secure the Yakima rack so it won't get stolen?
I bought the "SKS" Lock cores for the rack that require a key to release the rack. They go on each foot of the base.

Mines pretty extensive.
You may need to move the cover slightly backward. Mine does have a small gap, but I couldn't even fit a pinky in there. Like less than 1/2" of gap. And not seen from above, just from the back at the right angle

I got a massive gap around the sides of the tailgate.

Do you have any pictures? I'd like to compare to mine. I have pictures at the beginning of the thread of mine too, does it look similar to yours?

I optioned a spray in bedliner and retractable tonneau cover from Ford Accessories. I got the Embark LS (Retrax Pro XR) with the T Slot rails for a future bed rack system.

Did you need a J bracket for this cover? Since it's quite heavy?

I bought it from factory with the electric tonneau cover, it looks like is not installed on the side rail, that is the reason why J-Brace "bracket" is not required.

Oh really? Good to know, I wanted the same cover but was worried about the weight issue. Where was it mainly installed If it's not on the side? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing! I'll copy some of your builds, with your permission 😉 My 2.7L Lariat just got scheduled to be build.
Do you know or can you have a look whether there is a USB port on the rear view mirror? Thinking to add a dash camera.

Super cheap and awesome upgrade for you all, picked up the Muslogy Armrest cover for the Ranger. No brainer here, looks great, it's comfy, easy to install. Especially if you have a Lariat, this looks so much better than the factory armrest

Not bad looking at all, but I'll admit I had to look up "Vegan Leather".

Haha, I actually think the "leather" in the Lariat Ranger is also Vegan Leather, at least a portion of it. But thank you, I think it looks and feels great.
