Thanks! Yeah I'll get some photos of it tomorrow.

That's what I'm going for next...chop that tub and put a new bumper in!

Ha, thanks a bunch man, puts a smile on my face :) The fabrication is always intimidating to get started with, but once you do it, you realize it's not that difficult and it requires few tools and space. Maybe a friend can lend you some garage space? :) The console I'm really happy with, it...

Thanks Greg! I enjoy the planning and build process very much!!

Thank you sir! Extra special coming from a former Ford Ranger Engineer ??

Thank you! I do what I can ?

After my dual battery setup started to present some problems, I decided to rewire it and fix some things that were bothering me. I also powder coated all of the brackets, redid a bunch of the wiring with higher gauge wire, better connectors, and added quick connectors to the accessory loom...

Not wanting to have to lock and unlock the tailgate manually, I had done this mod originally in 2018 by adding an actuator to the locking mechanism in the tailgate, and hooking the electrical connections to the fuel filler door circuit (which locks in global Rangers). It worked, but the brackets...

2020: This year has seen a lot of mods and very little wheeling, because of the global pandemic. I used to remove the HAM/CB antenna each time I got home, because there was no place to store it, so I decided to make a clip mount for it to sit in. CAD design and then 3d printed a few...

Thank you!

Next up, the roof console, which will host a few things like CB radio, microphone, lights and storage space. Some of the cables for lights had to be extended or rerouted to fit properly, but, in the end, it was worth it! Next up changing the Upper Control Arms to SPC UCAs, which gave me...

Yeah, my paint has been shit since day 1. It's got chips everywhere. Part of the reason why I don't care off-roading it hard is because the pain was garbage to begin with ?

2019: Big year for the truck and me. Lots of fabrication work including work on a custom bed rack that would include usage of the Retrax hard cover. I was tired of taking 20 minutes filling out my 33" tires, and this would be terrible when switching to 35s...I started out with the electrical...

2018: This year I started with a few good trips where I tested the capabilities of the truck and got to use the winch a whole lot. While on our way to a river, there was a huge hole covered in grass that was not visible and I fell head-first into it. Got pulled back by a friend and then...

I've been meaning to start a build thread, as I enjoy building up and documenting what I've worked on and how my truck has changed. 2015: Bought the truck in November. Shortly after started offroading and tried to climb Panama's highest peak, Volcán Barú, but I was denied by the park rangers...

Thanks. still enjoying me KM3s, just haven't gotten to use them much in the last year :S

This looks fantastic, care to share the steps/materials?

Hey thanks! Bed cover is a RetraxMX. Rack is custom made at home to fit with the RetraxMX. I couldn't find one that would fit my purposes and the roller cover, so I made it.

So, after years of higher priority mods and running 285/70R17 KM2s on stock wheels, I bit the bullet and went for 315/70R17 KM3s on Method Racing MR702 wheels. After a bit of cutting and trimming a bracket that was holding the plastic mud guard, everything fits. I’ve gotta trim the bracket...

Mini Minimal changes. That’s why the guys at Patriot Campers were able to get their PX2 tray fitted to the PX3/US Ranger with minimal modifications.
