Yes, seen those pics I believe.

And I totally agree with you on the RC Bumper. I recently considered it after being forced to do some front end work.

https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/think-its-totalled.17508/

In the end I opted to keep the stocker. My truck is White Platinum Metallic and I REALLY like it's Magnetic Grey bumpers. Anything aftermarket would have to be repainted for me. My last Ford was WPM and black, really like the subtle difference the grey makes. I'm, on my truck at least, over the Storm Trooper, or Panda look.
When it comes to things like that I agree, it has to match the truck one way or another. It also needs to have a location for a winch. Nice thing is 589 fab makes a hidden winch mount for our trucks so I’d just replace the crappy light bar rc provides and shove a winch in its place. For paint matching you can always try and paint it/bed line it but that’s always hit or miss

Absolutely.

I settled on keeping the stock bumper. None of the others quite match the lines of the truck to me, and the cost of the paint make them too pricey. I did pick up the SVC light bar though to mount the plate and some lights. As you said I can always go with the 589 hidden winch mount, or the Shrokworks tray, if needed.

I'd save the bedliner for the exterior of my YJ though. My level of skill and level of pickiness are mismatched.

Man I get that!
Other problem is I hate mixed stuff. If I get a front bumper/shocks/whatever I have to match the back with the same brand. My credit card is never happy at the end of the day

All rangers have park aid. It’s called side view mirrors. ?
I read where the T5 Ranger in some markets will park itself depending on the option package, just not here in North America. Have yet to experience this feature all though its been around for several years now.

And see thats what I’d think it would be too. That’s why I’m so confused on the Ford bumper. In the pictures I posted you can clearly see the sensors in the bumper but once you go on to their website the holes are gone

Just because there are no holes if/when you buy it, that doesn't mean there can't be holes there.

Depends which options package you get.

Park aid you say? You just back up till you feel a bump then go forward till you feel a bump, repeat an needed.
