The guard was not in contact with anything, it lines up perfect. As you can see from the second photo, without the metal spacer, the bracket sat at an angle when tightened. Perhaps the JL axle is sliiiightly different in shape? Regardless it fits with, or without the spacers.
I wanted to keep my differential cover stock, but still add protection from rocks. So, took a gamble and ordered the Jeep JL (with the Dana M220 Rear Axle) diff skid.

It fits!
Note the front bracket is angled, this is how...
For "Bambi Mode" (allow high beams and fog lights simultaneously) It seems like this is a multi-step process. I do not want my fog lights as DTRL, or to turn on when turning.
Question:
Is there an option to keep the function of the fog lights the same as factory, but allow them to stay on when...
The main reasons are clearance and strength.
Not having the plate under the axle, allows better clearance and 5 /8" u bolt and 3/8" plate steel is immensely stronger than factory. And I'm a fan of overkill.
Hi all! Just wanted to follow-up. The following combination works great!
GM/Toyota 2.5'' plate:

Here's a shot of the install before I cut down the u-bolts (with...
Hi all!
I am here to help gauge interest for a Tube / Hybrid style winch bumper for our trucks.
As the US spec Ranger is still 'fairly' new, there aren't many options for a low profile bumper that can also carry a winch.
A lot of the winch bumpers available are bulky, stick out too far or...
Have a set on order myself. Did you swap out for a heavier spring to accommodate for your bumper/winch? If so, what spring rate did you go with? How much preload did you set?
After a phone conversation with King, the product number for the coils of the 2019+ Ranger coilovers is SPR3-14-600
So, King Coilovers for our Rangers have a spring rate of 600#. Some builders or retailers may swap them out for the softer 550# you mention. But, directly from King they have a...
Thanks for posting this! I'll definitely used this as a reference when I upgrade the speakers. Is that what you did? If so, what speakers did you go with?
We do lots and lots of dirt road shuttles and strong bike carrying is a must. I've seen tray racks of all types break or let a bike bounce off off-road.
The best method is the tailgate pad with a bungee strap... But when you're on an extended trip or camping that isn't possible.
My go to is a...
My theory is the iron knuckles may be from the Ranger T6 (overseas) version?
2020 fx4 supercab here.... aluminum. Wish I got the iron!
Would be great if someone knew exactly why the switch.
I understand this is a thread for RRW, but also note Relentless Fabrication plans on a hybrid bumper for the Ranger too:
Maybe if folks (other than myself, ha!) give them a call and inquire- they will prioritize its release!
Looks like most (if not all) 2019 and 2020 CV axles were not coated. mine have surface rust on them too. I don't think it's a problem.
A quick fix could be a quick touchup with Rustoleum flat black paint.
I have seen those threads... they help tremendously when it comes to comparing materials, bolt sizes, etc.. I'm excited to get it mounted on the truck and do a full write up for y'all.
