The ZR2 SPEC-R3

[OFC Ranger]

I'm pondering if I get a new set of RTR wheels and then have them powder coated a sand color (not bronze) how it would look.

Roof rack scheduled to be delivered Monday.

That was quicker than anticipated.

Well, this went about like I imagined it would. I put the rack together and laid it up top to see how it fit before I do the drilling later this week.

The roof rack for a GEN2 will work just fine. The only oddities are the front brackets don't sit exactly center of the gutter channel, but we are talking very minimal offset - nothing that should prevent proper installation.

One personal adjustment I may make is to slot out the bracket by another 1/4 inch where it connects to the rack to lower it slightly. I am not sure if the gap between the sides and roof is normal, but it seems a tad high to me, but no biggie.

Looking good.

I saw a new Trail Boss on demo from Chevy at a festival last weekend. It looked really nice. I think the new, and upcoming, mid-size trucks are killing it.

Drilling to the roof?

All that gear, you have to be a part time mercenary ?

Seen a trail boss when I was running around recently, good looking truck for sure

I am working on the install this evening - boy this is not fun.

Some spots on the roof drill right through, others not so much.

Sorry, still not the most flattering of photos. Hoping by next week to get a bunch of lighting to-do's done and a bit of a real outdoors photoshoot.

Thanks to @Msfitoy my wheel choice selection path has been made clear by his master photoshop skills (lol!);

Same wheels as Ranger, but I think I am going to get them powercoated a dune color.

I like your stock wheels better, but that’s just me.

It looks good.

Anyone think there is a buyer out there for a full set of F/B factory Ranger shocks with only about 12k miles on them or should I junk them?

Hell I still have a set of factory running boards too. lol

I need to do some cleaning out in the garage.

I'm working on a bone-headed idea. I can only describe it as a over the cab rack that will overlay the roof rack by 3/4th. I just can't help myself...

I got the idea when cruising Google and came upon a similar design, but the company makes overhung bed campers.

That's great to hear!

Now the Ranger, Colorado, and the Tacoma all have the same lug pattern.

Hmmm... ?

its the same pattern as well as older chevy 1500s as well. i sold a set of tacoma wheels years ago that wound up on some early 2000s 1500

I may be interested in the stock running boards, for in case I ever decide to trade/sell my Ranger.

I would plan to remove my Shrockworks sliders and the truck just looks naked to me without something there.

I'd be interested in seeing a mock-up of this idea. How much clearance between the roof rack & the overlay?
