Snoranger’s 2023 Ranger Lariat Tremor

[Snoranger]

Softopper is ordered.

Once everything arrives and gets installed I’ll figure out what lights to buy.

The black emblems arrived today so I installed the front one after dinner.

There was a fire at the local UPS distribution center today. Let’s see how bad my other shipments get messed up.

And I actually bought this one instead of leasing it.

I missed this when you posted it. Congratulations!

I already posted in the “what did you do” thread, but I might as well post it here too.

I installed a set of Aurora RGB rock lights.

I cut off most of the harness and wired them into Aux switch #6. It’s fused for a 5 amp circuit, which worked out perfect as these lights were also fused at 5 amps. I only mounted 4 of the 6 lights, I’ll figure out the other locations after I get the new bumpers. (Scheduled for delivery on the 11th.)

Here are a few pics I took while installing and testing.

Here’s the controller.

Here’s the upfitter fuse block, wiring, and switch bank.

I don’t know what color your local police use, but this one could get me in trouble around here:

Hey now that you have the truck in person. How different are those 1st gen Raptor shocks and struts. I may be interested if you think I could get them to work on these trucks.

I’ll check this weekend and let you know.

Isn’t some major bu!!sh!t when the 3rd thing you do to your new truck hides the first thing you did!! The truck never even left my yard with the TRS sticker visible.

Does the topper fold out of the water so you can haul taller loads? I've been thinking about one but don't want to have to pull ot every time I load taller loads

Yeah, it does. I don’t have a pic of the whole thing folded, but have this one of the framework from when I was installing it. That should give you an idea.
All the bars and canvas fold up together and rest on front rail of the bed. This is a pic of me attaching the canvas, you can see the framework all folded up.

That is awesome! as much as I like a cap it is in the way at times and way too heavy to constantly be going on & off.

That has been my concern all along. I had 1 on my 98. Was awesome when out on trails and camping but I always had to ask the neighbor to help me pull it when I need to haul taller loads.

The roof rack arrived today. I had a little help opening it from the kittens. I opened it up and looked at it real quick… seems like a good product so far. I’ll probably start assembling it tomorrow after work. Here’s the only pic I took so far.

That’s Sunny and Fizgig helping me. Shelby is just out of the pic, but rest assured, all 3 demons are always there when something is going on.
