What did you do to your Ranger Raptor Today?

[oldskoolarcher]

Raptor grill lights installed tonight along with new BW hitch and start stop eliminator.

Looks Great! Did you wire them to one of the Upfitter switches or splice into the headlight harness?

You get them on ebay. Did that over a month ago. But I did front and rear. Can get both or either. They are oem ford australia parts. They have other finish options, too.

how do those surround bezels install, double sided tape?

Yeah, it’s good lol

We're happy to hear you love your Ranger! Thank you for being a part of the Ford family.

What are you planning to tow with that bad boy? I am trying to figure out if it could tow my Opus 15, which is right at 5,000lbs Dry, going to hit that 5,500lbs loaded pretty quickly.

Thanks !

I used aux switch one.

Pretty much followed the instructions I found online in this video.
I did a shrink wrap on all the wire splices to keep moisture out.

I will say I do wish they were brighter. I am really not crazy about how you can see all the little LED diodes lit individually. Plus, I am not really crazy about that little gap in the center of the light diodes either.

But these are pretty much the only option I found on the market that fits in those 3 tiny little raptor light pockets ford had designed into the grill.

I will be keeping an eye out for better quality brighter versions should any ever come to market.

These were cheap and figured they will work for now.

Most of my trailers are really too heavy for the Ranger.
But, I figure when needed I could jockey/move some of them around empty from time to time.

I am typically pulling with my trailers with one of my HD trucks.

eBay, it’s a Ford accessory part from the Australian market.

I see. Thanks for the link, but its hard to justify that amount when I know those get made for less than $50... Just like when those TRD PRO grills first came out for the Tacomas they wanted $500 but now you can get them for less than $200.

Front mud flap install. I don't want to install the rears until my j-brace kit arrives. I only want to take the rear apart once.

There are some other aftermarket versions on eBay for around $50-120.00.
They might just be something that someone is 3D printing, not sure, but they are priced a lot more
reasonably. More and more stuff is showing up all the time.

No doubt about that. I am sure it’s a typical get what you pay for sort of deal.

 

[cc1999]

Got my headache rack picked up from the powder coat shop, plus got it all retired and new lights and everything all installed tonight after work. Also washed up and installed the toolbox.

 

[cc1999]

A few more of the finished install.

Installed the Hood Gas Strut kit from Pirate Camp, super high quality, will grab some pics in a little bit, got in a rush to run errands and didn't get any. Super nice !
