HenryMac's Build Thread: 2019 Ranger XL STX FX4 Magnetic Super Cab

[Dean Schaffran]

Great post, great thread.
Can I ask you if you would consider sharing the bed model you're showing here? I'm studying some adds to mine and this would be a nice time saver.

Thanks!

CAD Model Of The 6 Ft Bed

Started to create a CAD Solid Model of the bed on my Supercab today.

I've got some projects I want to build, such as a wooden support structure to hold 4' x 8' sheets of lumber and thought having a CAD model would make it easier for me to design the structure.

Some things are easy to model... others not so much. I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing the model of the bed. It just isn't accurate enough.

I made the model knowing that I was building a wooden structure that I could check each board for 'fit". I have yet to build the "Lumber Rack".

Totally understand.
Thanks for your quick response!

Shot a few photo's of the truck today.

The Shrockwork Rocksliders really do compliment the lines of the Ranger and look like they are a part of the truck, not some aftermarket afterthought.

Do you have a picture like the bottom three, with a tape measure, of the door open and seeing how big of a foot step pad you have? Curious if these would be sufficient for a step for a 6 year old and my wife so they could use it to get in the truck, and to justify my need to buy these over cheesey side steps from Ford.

Took some photo's for you... hope these help. I put a worn out size 12 hiking boot on the slider for reference.

I'm 6'-1" tall, I don't use them as a step. My wife is 5'-2" tall, she does use them as a step.

Dude you are the BEST! This is exactly what I wanted to know and more.

I may need them, I'm 6'0 and wife's 5'7, Icon suspension kit is on the way, and then bigger tires soon too, so I feel like once these two combine, I'll need steps. Sliders are the best compromise.

I don't think it's a REAL FX4. think your salesman heard you wanted one, ran out back, and stuck some stickers on a XL, then said, we'll make you a great deal!

Some ideas I've been messing with in photo-chop

Love the red. Yellow looks very good also.

Lumber Rack... first use.

We got to use my custom made lumber rack yesterday. It sure is nice having a flat surface and tie down hooks in locations that make sense.

That is what I need right there. I need something for full sheets of ply can be above the wheel wells.

Lumber rack & cargo stop so far. No tailgate extensions yet. Ran out of scrap lumber..

Filled up with fuel today and checked mpg: 27.5 mpg calculated, 28.3 mpg per trucks computer.

Door sticker listed 20 city / 24 Highway

Good Stuff!

Yes but every place you drive is downhill from there. I can get 25 to26 if I watch it. Not as steep of hills here. 60 or 65 does make a big difference.

Our Ranger's odometer just flipped to over 10,000 miles yesterday.

10,000 trouble free miles.... well done Ford.

10,000 miles. You need to start driving it more.?

Did a hike around Clinton Reservoir. Ranger Smith waited patiently... and thanked us for the awesome views.

Still averaging around 27 mpg too.

Those are some amazing views. I wish I had views like that near me.

You do, you live near the Sierra National Forrest. Get out and explore!

Door Sill Scuff Plates, continued from Post 52

Ended up using some GE 100% clear silicone to attach the scuff plates to the door sill plates. Used blue painters tape to hold them in place... and some duct tap on the end just to make sure they didn't lift up while curing.

Drawing of the Door Sill Scuff Plates...

Just in case anybody want's to modify some of these for other applications.... here's a couple drawings and a pdf.

Johnk, thanks for the great thread on door sill scuff plates, and all the pics! I'm doing the same for my 2019 XLT is the silicone still holding?
