Installed Clearview compact mirrors. Little disappointed in the details for the price. Packaging could use some work, drivers side had a chip in the paint out of the box. Driver's side rubber gasket is mishaped or cut wrong, took a bit of messaging to get it to fit correctly. They seem nice otherwise and aren't overly big like the other mirrors they make.

And i found a new open box swing case on eBay for $100 plus shipping.

Oh that is good to know, I didnt know they made one for those too, I just went with the ones ARB supplied.
I am sure at some point Ill need to replace them. I do enjoy having the turn signal in the bumper though.

Swapped out the crappy ARB Fog Lights for some nice diode dynamic fog lights, added new charge pipes and an intercooler from CVF. What an nightmare. I can tell right off the bat the Ranger is a lot more responsive on the on the throttle and makes more turbo sounds.

I am sad to report for @Colo_Ranger and @Dhouse ...I tried my damnedest, but you have to remove the bumper and the facia. I could not get the grille out with the bumper on and could not extract/install the old/new intercooler with the facia on, that or I am not skilled enough. Luckily for me I set my bumper up so I could remove it a little easier....Still a PITA. Took me all day with help.

I also didnt take a pic of the charge pipes, unless you knew what you were looking at they honestly look pretty standard.

On a side note while I was looking for for the fitment instructions so I could re-torque all the bolts I noticed ARB has removed the fitment instructions and Summit bumper for the 5G from their website.

I need to re-orient the left fog light :(
That sux, but I've had the front bumper almost off when I removed the crash bars. Plus I've got the stock bumper. I'm sure its no where near as heavy as the one you have. Thanks for sharing the details. I'm going to jump in on the intercooler soon.

You might be able to get away with not removing the stock bumper, but honestly it would make things a lot easier giving what I went through.

Good luck! Just give yourself a fair amount of time.

I tripped off my ladder about 10 months ago and the ladder cracked my passenger side taillight. Then a few months later I dropped a ladder and it chipped the top corner.

The big hole would fill with water when it rained. Finally the LEDs started to not work. Bought the 200$ one on Amazon and it was a quick 15min swap. Hardest part was unplugging the BLIS module as you need to unscrew it a little.

the only thing missing with the Amazon one is that it doesn’t have the word RANGER but that’s something I can live without.

both photos have the new light on the truck. The broken one is in my hand.

my SSC2 have a DRL and a full power, so… you could run the DRL all the time and the full power as the blinker.

Like several others, I installed a "RealTruck UnderCover SwingCase Truck Bed Storage Box | SC206P | Fits 2019 - 2022 Ford Ranger Passenger Side" that I purchased for $200 from Amazon. They have a few used ones for cheaper but you never know what you get with that.

I have no bed liner so the installation was easy and uses 7 existing truck bed holes. You'll need 2x extra bolts if your truck wasn’t equipped with stock tie downs. I like this swing out box, but for $200 its probably not the greatest invention known to man. It looks big but the shape and dimensions are wacky so you probably can’t fit as much as you’d think or at least can’t fit anything bulky. My small mobile toolbox was too wide for it to fit in there.

Very nice stack and a proper wire wheel. I bolted two pack out plates into my bed mat. Having a super cab I don’t have the room like you.
