Calling all Ford Rangers!

[biugueits]

So Biuqueits, is this your new camper you did the build thread on or your previous one? Either way it's a nice looking unit.

This is my second project... I sold the other (the hardtop one) because could not fit in the garage...

I was wondering what it took for the dual battery install on your ranger, in terms of relocating the battery, building box, ect. Mine is is the 03 FX4 L2 so pretty much the same. I also noticed that one of your wires is labeled "to fridge" is/ was that located in the cab? If so which brand model did you go with?

That's a cool camper!

Updates on my ranger since I last posted. Got the torsen front LSD installed, new 235/85/16 cooper s/t maxx tires, built a rack and added and RTT. Need to finish the rack as I picked up some rotopax fuel containers that will be mounted on the rack. Also have a set of coil overs waiting to be installed at some point and then I think I'm done with the truck for awhile

And loaded up for a weekend outing before the switch to the coopers

You didn't ask me, but I will answer about my truck.

My second battery is in the bed, under the sleeping platform in the right front corner. (Link) It is isolated and charged via an ACR. (Link)

That is awesome!! It looks a lot like the platform I have in my truck. Any fume issues with it dis/recharging being under the sleeping platform.

Wow - your truck looks a whole lot like my truck!

I have not noticed any problems from the battery (venting, etc.) I am considering running tubing from the battery vents to the outside - just to be completely safe.

I've been seeing what looks like some rotating the stock battery sideways as being able to slip another one next to it. Your set up is very clean and I might steal it last resort, just hoping to keep battery out of the bed

That's not a bad idea. In my truck, I don't have room to do that due to rearranging things for the V8 swap.

Also, I didn't want to add another 50 lbs onto the front suspension.

How are your rock sliders installed? Welded or bolted?

Easy.

If they would just sell it in North America...

 

[100acrehuphalump]

I no longer own one, but I have owned three. They were all great trucks. Didn't they stop making the ranger model?

Unfortunately yes, Ford dropped it in favor of the F150..
