[Old Blue Eyes Ranger]

random question, do you think you could fit a set of golf clubs in one of the deck drawers?

Hey Blue Eyes, for a 6ft bed Ranger specific version of the Decked you get 59" of space (length-wise) per drawer. For a crew cab 5.5 ft bed you get 47.3" of space. Not sure now tall your intended golf club set is, but hopefully this should give you some reference.

Really enjoying this thread. I have a supercab also. Makes me curious about what topper to get. Funny to see the Hankooks get shredded! I want to/need to find secure storage for surfboards and gear. A topper with a rack for a lockable clamp surfboard rack would be best.

If 4 Wheel Camper ever gets around to releasing a project M topper for the Ranger SuperCab, that would be a great place to start for that requirement

Been awhile since I've posted any updates; mostly been working with minimal camping outings these last few months.

Here are some pics of some recent outings to the beach sites in SoCal (San Elijo State Beach & Doheny State Beach)

Finally got around to unloading some stickers onto the Deck'd drawers

Latest Mod:
Hatchet / Axe Super Cab mounting solution:
My recent outings to the beach had me yearning for an axe. Beach humidity and morning dew makes starting fires MUCH harder than it should be.. 40 matches and a duraflame log still almost didn't start.

Solution was to keep a hatchet on-hand for kindling. A Fiskars X7 fits just snug in between the rear jump seats.

My favorite build thread on this forum. Keep up the great work

Dig the no step on sneke sticker.

Which tailgate gasket did you go with and have you been happy with the performance?

 

[RoadtripsOfUnusualSize]

You've got a pretty capable pickup there. Nicely executed.

Yeah that was an awesome gift from my girlfriend

To be honest, I think does it an "okay" job; but if you really want to have a sealed bed; plugging the additional holes on the sides of the bed is a must. I unfortunately didn't have that foresight before I installed the Decked system... too lazy to remove it.

Also, the instructions are worse than ARB, so have fun ?

Your build looks awesome. An XL super crew was the very first ranger I looked at. Didn’t pull the trigger on it right then and when I got ready to buy they were actually pretty hard to fine around here. I’m used to the Super crew now though.

You added the aluminum wheels and now you’re gonna have to change the name of your build! ?

Yeah, once I did the wheel upgrade; that was an existential question I had to ask myself..

Very nice, could I ask which mounts you used for the axe?

These were pretty cheap with about $3 worth of hardware from Home Depot. The top screw needed to be about 1" long while the bottom screw mount needed to be about 2.5" long.
