Thought I’d show my new 2018 manual Winning Blue XLT, got a lot of info and tips from posts on here.
I’ve tried to black out as much as possible as I don’t want to have the same thing as everyone else!
Dealer fitted gear:
-Lockable soft tonneau cover
-Safari snorkel
-Custom Blackmans leather seats, black with blue stitching (to match the paint

-Stainless steel sill plates
-Carpet mats
Things I’ve changed/added:
-Front grill from chrome to matte black, fomoco parts apart from FORD grill inset
-Matte black vent covers, no fomoco option for this and didn’t want to plasti dip them
-Changed mirror surrounds from chrome to matte black, fomoco parts but had to buy xl mirror surrounds and cut out a space for the mirror indicators to fit
-Added front and rear light surrounds Tickford style
-Changed fog lamp surrounds from grey to black, fomoco parts
-Changed chrome door and tailgate handles to matte black, fomoco parts
-Had sports bar powder coated black
-Had rear bumper power coated black, had to buy new reverse sensors in Black to suit, sensor surrounds I just spray painted them matte black to suit
-Changed aerial to short Mazda one
-Changed to satin black King Avenger 6 17x8 +35 offset wheels with matching black nuts, kept the original AT tyres, will chuck a set of BFG KO2’s on there when they wear out saving cash for now

-Darkest legal window tint
-K and N high flow air filter
-Grunt easy up/down struts on the tailgate
-Acutator added to tailgate handle lock so it locks with the central locking
Future plans, still need/want to do:
-Tailgate RANGER decal in black instead of grey but 50/50 on if I do the tailgate similar to the FX4 black vinyl
-Side 4x4 decals in black instead of grey
-Plasti dip the XLT badge black
-Plasti dip reverse camera surround black
-Plasti dip side step aluminum part black, would like to get it powercoated but I can’t work out how to get the bugger off! Haha!
Any other mod ideas or tips would be awesome!
