That’s why I went with fender flares. I’m hoping they’ll go close to the edge but wont stick out.
By going up 3 inch with my Icon lift (hope it comes in soon!) I wanted to widen the stance as much as possible to counteract some of the effects of raising the center of gravity.
I’m sorry I made a mistake in my reply. My wheels have a « minus » 12 offset not a positive. I edited my post above.
If you buy your wheel with the proper lug pattern you don’t need rings/adapters/spacers. If you tell me what look/stance you want (tires tight to the fender, sticking out a bit...
Interesting wheel choice. Can’t wait to see them installed.
If I had a do-over not sure I would’ve picked the Yakima HD ajustable rack. Not that it’s bad, just not what I was hoping it would be. Still cant find on the market a proper rack. Wish I had your skills to build my own!!
Great looking truck! Can’t wait to see your build progress. But even more excited to see your wheeling adventures alongside that Jeep!! A good Hubby vs Wifey trail-off? lol
Cool! Eager to see it, keep me posted.
This is in fact what I expected the “lowest setting” of the Yakima to look like. A rooftop tent is on the wish list but havent started overlanding yet, only have done off-roading day trips as of yet. I have however started doing kayaking and SUP boarding...
I hear ya! What rack did you end up getting?
In my case there was no perfect set-up available, only levels of compromise. Having a secure yet accessible “dry” bed was priority number one so my rack options then became extremely limited.
It was a VERY LONG wait! The Ranger specific accessory list came out in Canada at around the 18th of January. I made my list in the following days and sent it to my dealer. I received the rack and sidebars last week and the crossbars 2 days ago.
Note: Can’t say exactly when the order itself was...
A few comments and observations on this rack set-up (will comeback and update regularly as I use it):
I ordered it sight-unseen so there is some little disappointments. The main thing is the load rating drop when paired to the Ford/Retrax cover. Also I was under the impression that the...
Ok so lets get this out of the way right now: it’s not pretty by any measure!
But hopefully it’ll do the jobs I ask of it. Talking about the rack of course!
So far with 2.5” RC level and 33” tires it’s atrocious! Last 2 tanks got only about 250 miles (400km) of range... but then again off-road rigs aren’t built for gas milage! Haha
Also need to consider that cold weather remote starts are mpg killers. I’m expecting to gain 50-60 miles of range this...
Fuel wheels are in and BFG mounted. Unfortunately cant put them on yet because of (1) weather and (2) probably need the extra lift of the Icon kit to fit properly.
I spoke to the sales manager of my dealer and his problem isn’t moving the Rangers, it’s getting them allocated to him. As soon as one hits the lot its gone!
However he says the Montreal dealers (biggest city close to us at 2 hrs drive, 1.8 million population) can’t move their stock.
I’m...
