2020 Ranger FX4 “Rambo” Build Thread ( Lots of Pics! )

[Rambo2020R]

Looking for a lift to help with some of the bounciness/ roll on road, and firm it up a bit Offroad. I’m looking at these 3 but any recommendations are welcome

Narrowed down my possible bumper selections to 3. Input appreciated

I like the #1 bumper most, but don't like grill/light guards, so I'd choose #2 if I can't remove the bar work.

Hmm...suppose it would depend on the build/look you're aiming for. An Aussie style build, then #1. An Overland build, then #2. A Prerunner or rock crawler build, then #3. I like #2 but in all black to hide that bezel around the inset lights.

Tough call between #2 & #3 as I really like them both. I like #3 a little better because it's more subtle and cleaner looking and not so "in your face as the other two are.

I think I'd go with #2 as it would seem to keep more crap from getting straight into upper suspension in my mind, plus it looks "tough" enough to be a Rambo thing

As far as tailgate damper, these tailgates are so light I don’t see a point

I agree, after 50 years of driving pickup trucks, this is the lightest tailgate I've ever seen. Can't see spending 2 cents or 2 minutes adding a damper..

You haven't thought about the of driving children into the ground like over-sized garden spikes with your light speed traveling tailgate though.... because apparently in 2021 that's a real danger....

Not to go off topic but who makes the roof rack on #3? That sucker is nice and flush.

To get back on topic, who makes the bumper on #3? I thought it was ADD but I'm not seeing that on their site. #3 is pretty much what I want my truck to look like.

Since you're all about Rambo building, you probably wouldn't anyway... now triple tailgate anvils... makes way more reasonable spend

Ok, I'm answering my own question here I believe. Looks like RMT Overland had ADD customize a bumper for them and Rough Country custom an F150 roof rack for them. I'm guessing they won't sell them separately.

What do y’all think of the Alucab? Looking for a camper shell setup in the rear so I can still tow the boat

Picked up my wheels, already have the lift in a box. Tires get here Wednesday!

 

[Rambo2020R]

Welp the wheels didn’t fit, so now I’m rethinking the whole shebang.

What was off about the fit of the wheels?

Would they not clear the brake calipers?
