Been lurking here for a while, finally got a ‘20 Ranger Lariat FX4 in Oxford White, love it! Good enough deal that I sprung for the Ford Performance 2 package and it’s going in next week, I will share pics when it’s done!

I have a question for you all: Anyone have an LED light bar in the front in a front license plate state like TX? Something like the rough country light bar. Looks like the plate would cover up half of it right in the middle, so wondering if i want to even bother.

Pumped to join the club!

That looks good still! I am debating some raptor style amber lights and/or the lower gap light bar.

Which light bar did you get? Looks like the plate doesn’t actually cover it up much if any. May have to do onw too.

I checked the eBay listings an didn't see another one. It's a 19" curved. Before Ohio got rid of the front plate requirement I was gonna put a 1/4" spacers between the bumper an bracket. A 19 or 20" should work. Ranger lifts makes a set of brackets for mounting on

How was the install? I’m thinking that one as well. It looks good!

I do have the adaptive cruise. Will that require a change to the light or cruise sensor location? Has that messed up anyone's performance of the feature?

I have never done any modifications to vehicles before, so bear with me.

No problem Brad we've all had to learn about these mods at one time ourselves, that's what this forum is here for.. ?

You'll have to get a bracket to relocate the ACC sensor otherwise the 20" light bar will block the sensor. Here's the bracket you'll need and I don't know why it shows a bumper now but this is the one.

Here's a post on this from @HoosierT who did this to his back in January with some pictures of the bracket.
