What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Could you make the TRD logo inferno red?

 

mspaint + 5 minutes.... =D

 

that is beyond the level of time i can invest in this. the previous edit was just covering stuff with black boxes and a paintbrush. from looking at that image, it's not as simple as just filling in the logo. i see lots of grainyness in it.

 

The things we do for our girls. Shoveled the driveway to roll ole blue out for a photo op. Nothing prettier than blazing blue pearl against a white snow. Now time to roll her back in the stable.

 

So far I've put a Leer XR cap on with round bars on the rack. I also put some 265/75/16 Bridgestone Dueler Revo2 on. No lift or rub, but the MPGs took a hit. Next, I've got on order replacement left and right bumper trim as well as a black benzel to outline the black grille. these items are to replace the chrome and black the truck out. I actually like the small detail of the chrome badges though with the white letters out on the tires.

 

Holy crap great looking truck man! Got any more pics?

 

Any truth to this coming. This is Euro version. I know this isn't the right thread, just using my phone and having issues.

 

I have the same exact truck and I replaced my chrome left and right bumper caps as well. I think it looks so much better. I was also thinking of a cap as well

 

Well FORD did announce yesterday at the Detroit Auto Show that the NEW Ranger was coming in 2019 followed by a NEW Bronco in 2020.

How much they look like the European or Asian Market versions we won't know for some time to come. I would expect some significant changes even though I personally like these versions. I actually bought my 2017 TACO because I got tired of Ford not announcing a new Ranger! My last 2 trucks were a 99 and an 04 Ranger.

 

Not really inferno but best I can do. Like drwx metioned. MSPaint. Takes some time but if you Zoom way up around 600 to 800% makes it easier.

 

Yep, I have a built 98 in the garage. Will be sweet if they put the Ecoboost in it?

 

I see Mexican Rangers regularly around here. Looks like a Hilux. The Chevy Colorado is based on the Brazilian version, so I figure the next upgrade to the Mexican version would be a better indication.

 

Donald Trump scared Ford into holding off moving small car production to Mexico. Now the plans and plant in Michigan designated for Rangers and Broncos is on hold until 2019 or 2020 model year. Yeah it sucks. Love my Taco but would like to see these on the lots. They are planning a mini diesel version for the states. Look at the available videos from Europe and Australia. That Ranger is a tough little beast.

 

CAFE laws - they can't use the same motor that's used overseas. Expect something similar to the Colorado diesel...and the DEF tanks.

 

Over the holidays I installed my Redline Tuning struts. Goodbye prop rod.

Had to modify K&N box. Slightly bend rear outer wall forward for strut clearance.

 

The timeline as of last year was ALWAYS 2019 and 20120 for RAnger then Bronco. Trump had NOTHING to do with this timeline. Small car production is still going to Mexico as scheduled, and the jobs that remain in the plants they vacated were ALWAYS going to be producing the Ranger and Bronco.

 

I'm considering a gear change and to add a TrueTrac but I still am not sure about the Tacoma Sport axle (30 spline?). Does anyone know what TrueTrac will work? Is this the one:
Eaton 913A610 Detroit Truetrac 8" 30 Spline Differential for Toyota

 

Which Part or Model Number struts did you use? I can't figure out exactly which to order for my 2017 TRD OR ACLB.

 

True but the Rangers WERE scheduled for the 2018 model year.
