Slow Go Camping Build

[daniel3507]

When I heard about Ford bringing the Ranger back I immediately wanted one. My first ever car was a 93 Ranger that my grandfather bought brand new. I still own it too. May of 2020 I decided to trade in my 2013 F150 and take advantage of some of the pandemic deals they had going on and picked up a brand new 2019 Ranger XLT. I enjoyed the F150 but I just couldn't squeeze it into places off road without risking some major trail rash and damage. I have plans for the Ranger but I know it will be a slow process. I'll try and update this first post to pictures of new additions and random other pictures to try and keep the first post relevant. I'll also be adding to the thread so you may see some duplicate pictures.

Ford Blue spray painted tow hooks.

Hooks look nice, should add the RANGER letters for the grill in same/similar blue to go with it. I themed out in red/black as example of how letters could look from https://tvdvinyldecals.com/

Also did the vents and on and on and on. So, clean slate, enjoy your new money pit!!

That's just great.

Another website full of stuff I didn't know I needed.....until now.

@FoD that's where I got my vinyl. This spring I'll do the tailgate and side vents. Nice idea with changing to blue!

Better plan on the new vanity plates too: MOD ROD

Got a diode dynamics 18" combo light bar mounted up front and used diode dynamics mounting brackets for the ranger. Made install simple. What made install even easier though was the Trigger 6 Shooter. No relay or switches to worry about and I don't have to go through the firewall. I got some yellow film from Lamin-x to put on the center fog light lense to match the fog lights. I'm surprised at how thick it is. I haven't really got to test it out but I don't think it's as dark as the fog lights but it should work just fine. Next will probably be a brake controller for a trip this summer. That or OME struts so I can finally install the UCA sitting in my office

Another good move...

Pretty impressed with how well the truck did the past couple days. I think the terrain management was a good thing to add and could tell it was working. Not bad for stock. This does has me rethinking the OME leveling kit and I'm now thinking about the entire lift kit. Also, skid plates will be a must.
