Hi Ben,

My RoadMaster tow brackets and the wiring I fabricated to make the Ranger towable behind my Motor Home.

My Eject button that keeps the passenger quiet wondering if it is real.

The USB lights for the interior for those times when it is dark outside and you need direct light.

My Wolf bed 12V outlet for 12V to the pickup box.

Best,

After 2 weeks of ownership the only thing ive done is to put a moving blanket across the rear seats to accommodate the dogs, and thrown a 2x10 near the rear of the bed to contain my fuel jugs for fueling up the tractor.

The Black Horse rear bumper with the side steps and LED light pods.

The steps make for easy access to the bed when the tailgate is down and the LED light pods are great backup lights.

Rear Seat Delete (DIY) on my Scab. Lots of room for tool cases and easily converted back to stock when it comes time to sell.

These 15 tool cases fit in the back. The trim panels are protected and I can easily access the jack and spare storage compartments.

The bed is usually full of larger tools or lumber.

My 2/4 drop makes bed access hugely easier.

Fabbing up power locks and auto bed lighting for my Diamondback tonneau cover gives me security and night access to the tools and supplies in the bed. The "valet" switch keeps the bed secure when I need to release the truck for service or parking.

European Ranger WildTrak roof rails makes securing and transporting long things a snap.

5" step rails might not be super aesthetically pleasing but makes using the roof rails far easier.

Adding OEM navigation was priceless.

Hope I never need the dash cam.

JB4 piggyback Tuner adds fun to the go pedal without electronic fingerprints.

Indexing the front and rear u-joints on the driveshaft killed an ugly vibration.

My most useful mod has been replacing the factory spare wheel and tire with a fifth wheel/tire/TPMS that matches the other four. All tires get used instead of carrying a rotting, rusting spare. The spare is not limited in capability or driving distance, and does not alter the driving characteristics of the truck.

Installing Bilstein 5100 shocks all around. Stopped the Ranger wallow. I also installed a tailgate ladder for easier access to the bed for this old body

My Fas-top.

It's a soft topper that folds up UNDER the bed rails with an integrated soft roll up tonneau.

Keeps my pups secure, Pyrenees and St Bernard, and goes down easy with a nice tonneau when they're not traveling.

JDM blinker fluid.

Have done a lot since my purchase in October 2019, but if I had to pick one mod that made the most difference, I'd say the front leveling kit from Rangerlifts. Don't know about other trims, but it greatly improved the ride quality of my 4x2 Lariat.

wolf 12v outlet in the bed is what I've used the most

I’ve done a few things. Most impactful is my 2” level from Daystar that I self installed, obviously improves the look and the handling in a positive manner. Next, I’d have to say my RDJ travel pro hard folding tonneau cover, I love it and it keeps my stuff in the bed safe and secure. Next. My pistol magnet that I installed under my driver seat. Let’s me have a secure spot for my carry pistol on long drives.

Where did you get the ladder?
