Not relocated, but the bracket was modified.
Brett, what is the part number on this bumper? The only ford performance bumper i find is stated as not compatible with ACC and parking sensors. this one certainly looks compatible.

It’s the same ine you’re finding. It’s not compatible from the factory. A few holes have to be drilled into the bumper to mount the sensors.

Yup.
As said, you gotta drill it. Totally worth the effort.

The truck will officially be for sale soon. I will post a for sale thread once I clean it up and get some pictures.

Going to ask $50,000.

It has over $20,000 in modifications, almost all which are listed here in this thread, and only 22,500 Miles. Here is a breakdown of all parts used in the build.

And that’s a wrap! Stripped the Ranger down and traded it in on Monday for a 2023 Power Wagon. It’s been fun!

How’d the ranger do pulling that trailer? Also how much for the smart cap bins? Nice trucks btw. Ranger and Ram.

It did really well actually! No issues with power as the camper is 2000 lbs under max tow capacity for the Ranger. The main reason for going full-size was MPG and fuel tank size. I was getting 8mpg towing with the Ranger with a 17 gal tank. The PW gets 13 and has a 51 gallon tank!

Side bins I’m asking $300 for the half ($445 new) and $350 for the full ($495 new). Make me an offer I have 37s to buy for the PW lol

One of the best trucks I've seen here.
Hate to see you go.
8 MPG dang, I'd love to do a few things to mine but I love my 23-24 MPG too much!
Best of luck with the next project!
Any place to follow you and the dodge?

I loves the Ranger, it was such a fun truck and great build! I finally had it dialed perfectly.

Instagram is the best place, @Roam.Wild_ we leave in November to start living full time out of the camper and traveling down through Mexico, western US, Canada and Alaska for a few years!

I'll leave yall with one final picture from our last trip in the Ranger from the beginning of the month, and my favorite pic of the truck to date.

I'm late to the sale, but any chance you're still selling the SmartCap?

SmartCap is sold but I do have both side bins for it still for sale if you find a cap.
