Over the winter we did some modifications to our Ranger and finally had a chance to shake it down on a 4 day trip through the Kofa Wilderness and Kofa Wildlife Refuge in Arizona. Some of the upgrades were....
  • ARB Summit Bumper and Warn Winch
  • Rear Seat Delete
    • Power
    • ARB Zero Fridge
    • ARB Compressor installed
  • New Upgraded Tent
  • Misc. Electrical and lighting upgrades
Happy to say other than a couple self inflicted issues (Forgot to turn on the switch to charge the Jackery at one point), all went great! Love this truck more every day. This particular trail had some pretty hairy spots, Ranger handled like a boss. Don't let anyone tell you that this truck we have is not as capable as others.

I’d love to see the seat delete. Don’t have mine yet but know I’ll grow to loathe the back seat that doesn’t fold flat, nor store neatly upright.

I’d love a simple low profile aftermarket bench that tucks flat in one direction or the other. Just a flat vinyl hinge bench would do.

Not gonna lie, bumper WITH the Winch is heavy, but Wife and I were able to install it.
