Relentless. They decided not to support the Ranger with a production run. Honestly, quality was pretty poor. Way, way better off with the ARB, which is actually crash tested, and has a finish that will survive multiple winters.

thats a bummer tbh i prefer the hybrid bumpers over full plate bumpers. arb is a nice bumper but its weight is pretty nuts so i dont want that lol ill just get a 589 winch plate and call it good. im also not one to worry about the finish lol my sos bumper that was on my tacoma was abused over and over so it got repainted or touched up a good bit so ive never been worried about finish unless its a mall crawler that dont get beat up/used

Just found this thread. Love that GFC set up. I think this is the direction I’ll go for camping. Nice truck!

Will do. I think I am doing a road trip to eastern Oregon late summer so if I can swing it I’ll get it installed in Denver or Montana on the way out. Just need to confirm they have one for SuperCab Ranger.

They do. I'd recommend doing the install here in Bozeman since MT doesn't have sales tax.

That’s a great idea! Thanks.

Buddy Stuart Palley shot some nice photos of the truck today.

Hi from Baja Sur

Awesome. A road trip down Baja has always been a dream of mine. But now my camping companions are my kids and I’m not sure I could convince my wife that it’s a good idea! Back in the 90s there were stories of bad cops and road robberies, and back then (when I was bulletproof), the potential of running into some road bandits was part of the appeal.

Would you belive there's a country where the cops murder innocent people every day? The United States is best avoided if you care about safety.

Manta rays and dolphins jumping, no other humans for dozens of kilometers, and a truck performing perfectly in the kind of driving it was designed for.

Crime by police officers is not the kind of crime I’m concerned about in the US- a very minor contributor in the scheme of things. But if you’re incubating in that echo chamber, the I guess I can understand your POV. Point taken, I guess.

Good read. You may want to make an edit that Shrockworks has closed up shop.

@Wes Siler did any lane keeping, collision warning or other sensors misbehave or require attention, adjustment after your lift?
