Big Bend NP is a magnificent place:
From youtube video description: "Manufacturing footage of the Ford Ranger and F-Series (F-150, F-650, F-750 and Super Duty F-250/F-350) trucks, built at the Ford US plants – Dearborn, Michigan, Kansas City and Ohio. Years: 1990-2022."
I've linked to the part with Ranger production. Sorry if...
Hello. Have you tackled your Rostra install yet? I'm really interested in your progress with this solution and your camera choice; I really like how Rostra seems to integrate with sync3. I was told this wasn't going to work on the 5g ranger, what are your findings? Thank you.
In Austin, can't wait to try the Hill Country overland route in the Tremor, also venture out to Hidden Falls off-road park. Big Bend is on the radar, once we get our off-grid trailer in September.
Just tugged at it, "firm" isn't the word I'd use lol. It IS clipped in to the bracket that sits across from front of the battery but it's not a super solid mount. What's your experience?
Found thanks to these forums, these ring-eye bolts are really sturdy and are $8, work a treat on my Tremor:

Appreciate your input, thank you! I'm still undecided whether I'll replace factory crash bars, I too like the look but safety is an important issue to consider. Have you found a better solution? I believe there are other after market options (besides BDS), but without any meaningful crash-test...
And thank you @Discount Tire! You've certainly earned my business - I wasn't even charged for this test fitting! I'll come back once I figure out the clearances.
Quick update - had Discount Tire swap the stock Tremor tire onto the new Pro Comp Rockwell wheel and do a test fit:
Poke isn't bad at all
Rubs (barely) both crash bars. I like the look and am considering BDS crash bars. Will update.
