I purchased the Touchlink bed lighting kit for my 2019 Lariat a few weeks ago. So far, I'm impressed. Installation is pretty straightforward and the instructions are clear enough to figure out what's what and what goes where. I ran into an issue with the length of the leads going to the battery...

Figured I would post a few pictures and give some ideas out on how to make the most it of the 5 foot beds. Camper shell is a Leer with Yakima tracks. Made an interior frame made out of aluminum extrusion from T-Nuts or 80/20. This is to support the roof rack with a rooftop tent. Also acts as a...

I committed my first backing-the-truck-into-something sin and need to replace the right rear tail light assembly. I found an assembly through a salvage yard for a decent price. It is unconscionable that the OEM part is $1200 new... but that is a thread for another time. I watched a few...

The massive lead time and cost of the GoFastCamper combined with an opportunity to take a break from work brought me to building this. I am not a fabricator/engineer/tradesmen so this was a steep learning curve; but it’s totally possible if you have the time and the desire to finish. Having a...

Check out these bolt tires frame sliders I built for my ranger. I am completely new to welding and fabrication but was able to put together what seems to be a solid build. Material 2” square tubing 3/16 and 1/4 plate steel for brackets and gussets.

I’ve been wanting heated seats for a while now but I haven’t been able to find what parts I need to get it done. I’ve been looking through threads and groups and I can’t find anyone that’s done it. I’m assuming it’s more than just the pads and the FCIM. I’m assuming I’d need Forescan to enable...

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...

So do I go with an ARE, or Leer topper? That was my initial question when looking for a topper. After doing some research, I was ready to make my purchase...........then the world took a turn. So I was being a bit frugal and came up with the idea to make my own topper, out of plywood! After a...

Its that time, 10,000 Mile service. First things first I put this big boy up on the lift and inspected everything for damage/wear and tear. I didnt find anything alarming so I got started with the service. Pulled the plug and watched the nasty black oil drain out, I was not surprised to see it...

On my old truck I used 4 bungee cords to hold my rods on top of the bed. I’d take two and wrap them together and attach them to the post holes in the top of either end of the bed. Then I’d stick the rods diagonally across the bed between the twisted bungee cords. The new truck doesn’t have post...

Mods: I'm unsure whether I'm posting this in the correct section, or if it should've been posted in the interior or exterior mods section. Please move if you feel it's better suited elsewhere. I've seen dashcams come up a few times in discussions, especially those where there was damage to a...

Created some real DIY (janky) recovery track mounts for the interior side of my bed. Not gonna lie this could be done 1000X better but I unfortunately live in an apartment and don't have the space or tools to make a real nice one currently (hopefully be outta here soon so I can make a perfect...

I'm coming up on about a month of ownership with my Ranger and I love it. 7,500lb towing capacity is great but in most states you won't be able to tow anything past 1,500lbs (legally). A big mis-step by Ford is not offering or including a trailer brake controller at launch, and at the very...

We Got It Wrong About the Ford Ranger’s Oil Change Procedure By Steph Willems on January 7, 2019 If you’re holding off on purchasing a new Ford Ranger based on what you read here last Thursday, consider this a green light for your trip to the dealership. The new-for-2019 Ranger does not —...
