What did you do to your Ranger today?

[dapakattack]

What I did to my Ranger is bought one. Blue Lariat Tremor. Drove from Fort Worth to San Antonio for the pleasure. Currently eating dinner before the last couple of hours. Love every thing on it!!!! I does seem to have very soft brakes, but drives very smooth. Quick picture in dealers lot before heading out.

Welcome to the forum (aka "the place to get ideas on how to spend your money") Good to see a fellow Texan!

Also learned to weld that same weekend, so don't judge the welds lol.

Actually your welds look very good! Congratulations on the build. Is it MIG or stick welding?

Thank you!..MIG flux core. Wanted to use the bottles for less slag... But don't have a whole lot of projects in my future and it's just a waste of space and money. Worked really good and super strong.

O I also didn't like any of the bed racks available so i built my own on a long weekend i had... Also learned to weld that same weekend, so don't judge the welds lol. But my wife and i climb all over it to load the truck and it holds all given weight no problem. 140lbs estimated.

Welcome to the built not bought club.

Looks good, but careful of the rabbit hole it may lead you. Mine was suppose to be a simple project, but it is so ridiculously fun to create something if you have a wandering imagination its a train ride to nutsville.

Bedding the brakes really helped me and others.

I am on the hunt for a tonneau that works with these racks. Doesn’t look like they interfere. Which one do you have?

Ford factory folding

Painted my tow hooks Ford blue.

Ok so before bed just kind of hog-pogged everything up with a few bolts and also testing placement for the rear running lights / sequential turn signal bars. I think I am going to find a small red light to put behind the RCI logo cut. I think that might look kind of neat.

Now that I have the shorter rear panel I can build the corner mending plates to tie it all together.

Added free advertising for Roush. And an anime bunny and weeb culture sticker to my roush front plate. Don’t hate me I might have ruined the American truck look, but I like it aesthetically
On a previous day I plasti dipped the emblems and added a “carbon fiber” sticker decal over the ford emblem.

Awsome ?

Just installed the FactionFab 1.5” wheel spacers I picked up from @Stage3Motorsports Hope to get the 285’s put on this weekend.

Awsome truck bud, how much lift you have?

Been over a year since I've been on ranger5g. Finally got the new wheels and tires.

~ Wheels are KMC KM535 GRENADE OR, Matte Bronze, 18x8.5, 35mm offset, 4.75 backspace
~ Tires are Toyo Open Country A/T III, 285/60R18, 120 S XL, Weight 43lbs, Diameter 31.5 inches, Width 11.5 inches.

I have a RangerLifts 3" leveling kit. I wanted a wider stance without going too far out from under the fenders. I did not need or want more height so I stayed with a 60/18 tire. Had to wait several weeks for the Toyo A/T III's to get off back order. Really happy with the new A/T III's!!!

I did have to modify the front crash bars. Left the stock crash bars on, but loosened the inner-most bolt/nut and removed the outer-most bolt/nut and then pushed the crash bars forward as far as they would go, then re-tightened the inner bolt/nut. Left the out bolt/nut off.

I like the color matched steps. That's a nice touch.

Looks good! I'm considering doing something similar. I wanna go 2 supports though instead of 3. Basically just big enough for a cargo basket, and so I can flip up the back section of tonneau if I need to. I'm looking at tigging it up out of aluminum. Priced some 1x3 aluminum the other day. Whew, they're not giving that stuff away. $$
