This is just like the last time something similar was posted from here in the States.

This is NOT a military vehicle. It's some marketing teams IDEA of what a Ranger could be as a military vehicle. It's basically a SEMA build or a "concept" build.

That being said, that truck is NOT lifted on 35s. And why would you keep that retarded/slick plastic bed liner on a military build? The only thing worthy of a thumbs up on that thing is the color.


How dare you talk about a Ranger that way. This isn't some square bodied Army Reserve heap.

Gonna need you to get that Blue Oval tattoo removed now. ;)
That is what I said. This one isn't lifted on 35s.

I doubt it is armored either. If it is, probably only for pistol caliber.

Edit: I do want the center console though. I've been searching for a company that makes a metal full span center console and looks like the market is straight zero around the world for it.
Your truck was the first thing I thought of when I saw that console.

My remarks were directed toward HUMVEEs and LMTVs but yea those too. Most squares pretty much gone from military service, but not all. Hell in the TN Nat. Guard we have better equipment than some Reg. Army Units.

I’m getting my Ford tat added on to. Putting a backdrop of Blue Oval city construction site with a big yellow dancing banana running through it!

As someone who has spent time in different compos... I'd have to say I'm offended... The Guard/Reserve trucks were better on average.

Less time in the field with bored 18 to 19 year olds is probably the why behind that.

Me too. If I ever come into a windfall of spare cash I was considering trying a OD green wrap. I would do the flat panels myself and pay someone to do the more intricate parts.
I'd love to wrap Msfitoy with this camo....

Isn't that a damper (or possibly gas spring?)on the passenger side?
It does kinda look like one. But it doesn't count because it's on the wrong side. lol ?
