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

[Ford Motor Company]

Installed formed Ford factory front mud flaps on forward arch of rear tires. Very good match to raised profile of flap. Been on a few weeks now and really helping to keep step clean with my less than ideal choice of +0 wheels.

Nice looking ride Jerry!

Install was easy on the RexingUSA M3 , the trim all the way back to the rear window was easy for the rear camera with your normal trim tools and running it along the top of the cab, I mounted the rear camera on the backseat seatbelt plastic housing with some velcro for now and hid all the wires. I set the front cam and the rear cam on all the time in the mirror. I like it. It exceeded my expectations for sure.

Got it thanks!

My Etsy order showed up today for my tailgate lettering @24.99. I should have ordered the easier ones to apply but got through it. I nearly gave up after the first letter.

Installed some rubber grommets in a few of the body holes.

M19.05 fits the holes along the bottom of the body. Guys on the 5G forum used these to keep debris out. Oddly the 2019 and 2020 Rangers had these filled at the factory. I think any moisture that was back there would still be able to exit through the gaps in that pinch seem.

These were probably pointless but why not since I could see them.

I want to fill the ones at the top of the front of the bed that face down. They are smaller than any of the grommets in the kit I purchased on Amazon but they let water in when it rains.

Any one have any advice for what they used to fill the gaps at the top corners of the front of the bed?

Yeah, I know that. But I like the blinking snowflake warning. I dont really pay attention to the outside temp.

Filled the bulkhead holes with some 6mm metric stainless hardware with some rubber washers. This would be 300% easier to do without the cover in place. My son held them from above while I laid under the cover and put on the hardware from below.

Tailgate letters and installed a tap for USB power from the mirror for my dash cam.

How did you do the USB on the Rearview Mirror? I would really like to do that for a dashcam as well. Thanks in advance!

I ordered a tap from Amazon- basically a ground and a hot wire you stick into connectors to get power with a USB plug on the other end. Used a multimeter to find the appropriate wires to tap in to and jammed them in there. I used a dremel to make a spot for the USB plug. Super easy.

Used Forscan to get rid of the "Full View Not Available" message when you press the camera button. The correct change was already confirmed in Craigc's sheet, but I hadn't got around to renewing my license until today.

This Video shows how to make the change on an F-150.

I also enabled Fog with my high beams, which will probably be the only Forscan changes I make.
