This is more of a last night than today but-

Installed the Signature Lux Fog lights on the Truck- I went with the Yellow.
Took the truck off road to see if anything would bounce around the Fogs were steady and stayed in place and I also used the Opportunity to adjust the Beam on the Amber Spots.

Next step, Air Compressor.

What ditch lights are those? I'm sure that's most of the light output that I'm seeing

That is definitely most of what you're seeing,

Those are the RIGID D-SS Amber PRO's

Hello everyone.
Haven’t finished installing the light bar or the awning yet, but couldn’t resist the urge to bring it out anyway and make sure the bed rack and RTT would stay on during desert rides. The raptor was finally in its element.
Really impressed with the way it handled everything in sand mode, the KO2s I have were outstanding and the rack and the tent didn’t budge, so real happy overall.
Quick pic of a dusty raptor.
Cheers y’all !

Put on a set of new Falken At4W SL 285/70R17 tires on my Bronco SAS Rims.

Rolled around Anza-Borrego canyons and down Diablo Dropoff on Friday, then hooned around Ocotillo Wells and made camp over there. Tried to see how far I could safely get into Pinyon Mtn Trail (East to West, just for giggles, been thru it before so knew where turnarounds were) while I was in the canyons, and gave up and turned around at Heart Attack Hill. Not worth it without 35s and a lift IMO - the Raptor is not a natural rock crawler, not without heavy mods. Hooned around Rockhouse Canyon Saturday AM and turned back before I did underbody damage (trail is rated 3/10, wtf). Again, she's not a natural rock crawler. Bent one of the side skids slightly backing out from where that one turns into a rock garden.

Need a better bed setup for pseudo-overland style stuff. I have the fridge and pelican box secured w/ ratchet straps, which is a pain in the ass to deal with when I make camp. Have the Truxedo cargo basket thing installed just aft of the tonneau attachment points, where I've got a DL battery hanging for the fridge (and Starlink). Got recovery boards, etc hanging in there, too - not fond of the super-nerd overland look w/ exterior molle panels and all kinds of stuff hanging off. Loving the Billie Bars setup - can turn the truck back into a truck w/o a ton of effort.

Well you certainly win the day for "what did you do with you RR today." Looks like you're getting your money's worth from everything too.

Did you install the back lit function? If so, how did you wire it?
Thanks

I really don’t like how those Retrax hang off the corners. How does it slide for you? Your truck looks sweet! Always loved that color.

Thanks! I don't like the overhang either but a lot of it depends on the angle you view it at. And the upper rear seal does not reach the tail gate leaving a huge gap, so the Retrax is less than perfect, IMO. I may swap it out for something different at some point if I find something better. Really the lack of a good waterproof seal is my only complaint but it's hard to find any rolltop cover that has a great seal. And you do lose a lot of space for the reeled in top, but I needed a secure, lockable cover with T-slots, and options were limited on the '24 Ranger release. Other than that I really do like it, it rolls smooth.

Check out the Roll N Lock. Great seal and rolls smoothly. Realtruck was very nice about taking my Retrax back with a full refund.

Strange, mine does not hang off the end.

I also didn’t like the 1/4”ish gap between the rails and bed. This is due to the custom brackets that aren’t the right height. They hold it up off the bed. I think they took a standard product and just whipped up some Ranger brackets. I made a video about it.
