Rain? Really, lol

Hahaha, yeah, well, that’s the name. But they’re for the wind

For adding wind noise.

But they look good too.

Man, i love this new ranger. I still have my 04 stepside ranger too but i do not enjoy it as much anymore. I love the ride in the 24, the interior, the comfort of the interior, i just really like this truck.

I am still modding the 04 but my hearts not in it now. My kids still want us to make it an autocross truck but i have a hard time working on it now. Before, when it was my daily, i did stuff i thought would make driving it more fun, or just upgrades to improve stuff, but now, i just drive it to and from work and think about how its not as smooth and quiet as the new truck.

Poor red 04 ranger, it was living the life before christmas. Anything i thought it needed, it got immediately. Motorsport diff cover.... since i was changing the fluid. Redline atf since i put a hurst short shifter and knob on the standard trans. Lowered 4 in front and 6 out back since the side steps didnt make it easier to get in the truck. Led bulbs, new cp71w sweet radio, and larger rear sway bar to match the monstrous front bar. The truck rides flat through the turns.


But now it is second to the new truck

Just finished my first Forscan adventure, got my cable and the program loaded up, did some chime changes, turn signal blinks, etc.

It was the local Ford garage actually. They replaced the front drive shaft on Olaf bc the factory one had a cut boot leaking grease all over, 267 miles.

They called before lunch, it was done pretty quick. Wife was at exercise, so I rode my bike over to pick it up, about 2 miles. Service said they cleaned up what they could, and what they didn't get would actually be a rust preventative! A service manager with a sense of humor! At least one shiny drive shaft...the pic is a warped panorama Threw the bike in the bed and drove it home!

does your bike fit in the bed with tailgate closed

Not today but yesterday did a full ceramic coat with Chemical Guys Carbon Force ceramic. Was a lot of work but the results are great so far

FP OE Mudflaps! Thinking of doing the LineX on the rockers for added protection, but not sure it needs it with the flaps and factory side steps / rocker guard paint.

I also added my first ever rock chip for this truck It looks so cool, I'll bet nobody else has a rock chip like that!

 

[superj]

Dang, i hate the first one

Posting bc this is one of the most popular threads on 5g, and a lot of 6g's are being delivered, so let the hi-jinx begin!

Today I recycled 1. My Coverking neoprene charcoal & black seat covers. They were still like new from Pepper, my 2019 5g 2. Also the black solid lug nuts (replacing the 2-pc chromed OEM). 3. My Amp Research Bed Extender, only 1 of 2 holes on the brackets lined up, so its temporary until I can drill the other two. Ford did well to keep the factory threaded holes from being sprayed withbedliner. 4. The Gator EFX hard cover was recycled the other day, it fit the new bed perfect. 5. Husky front and rear floor mats were also repurposed the other day. 6. Vault Cargo Management hitch lock, 4 years old and no rust like many complained about!

NEW STUFF: 1. Yesterday I installed new Go Rhino running boards, RB20's (look like Raptors, to me)...didn't get the factory ones bc in my experience they rust readily, and the RB10's looked like new on my 5g over 4 years of use! I like the RB20's better. 2. Had to add a decal to identify Olaf, on the back window.

Waiting on foam tape to add the front seal to the Gator cover. Only thing didn't fit was the console tray, the new console is bigger.

Mudguards and backflip on the new truck this week. RB 20 boards this week. More to come. Just getting started. Working on wheels and tires next.
