HI!... So ya the modding has begun. Drove straight from the dealer to ROTAN and started modding. lol!

I removed the SPORT stickers from the bed sides. Got rid of the rear mud flaps, they looked real out of place on the truck. Tried to remove that HUGE ugly FORD blue oval on the tailgate but of coarse FORD had to drill hole behind it. Got my PIONEER head unit and dach kit installed. Also installed my 200watt PIONEER 5"x7" speakers in the doors. Still have to get another set for the rear. I removed the JUMP seats in the rear for more space. I bought some rubber floor matting and made a custom filler panel due to FORD now only installs rubber flooring in the RANGERS and stopped under the rear JUMP seats. Bought some convex mirrors for the side mirrors due to the EC RANGER has a ton of blind spots. Also bought a temp sensor that tells me the temps outside and inside the truck. Mounted it in the small cubby hole under the heater controls. JMC was nice enough to give me his old exbanding bed bar so my work stuff no longer slides around in the bed. Going to get the windows tinted this weekend. 20% all around.

Looks good. Did you ever take that Rouge Factory Tour you were talking about a year or so ago?. I am about 10 minutes from the plant.

HI!... Ah no....... I think you meant RWH.P. The 4.0L makes 207H.P/238FT/LBS of TQ at the FLYWHEEL, hence why it does not say RWH.P behind the #'s...................................

Ahhh, gotcha. I was thinking 215-220 at the flywheel, I just assumed those were numbers you had gotten from running it on the dyno. I didnt figure you would ever put factory flywheel power ratings in your sig...
