Great setup, and great looking truck!There is a roll call thread on here for Rangers. I have had my 2006 for about 4 yrs now and have loved every bit of it. Haven't done much for suspension other than helper springs and a torsion bar crank. I'm running 31" Firestone Destination A/T's. Great tire for a DD and camping rig. I would agree with the above post, it is difficult to find aftermarket parts but they are out there. I happen to have the RCI front skid and intend to get the additional skid. I don't have a platform, I utilize a cot set up.

I just made my first large order the other day, even though I'll only be able to start working on her for the most part in the spring.
Decided on Cooper Discoverer ST MAXX 265/75 r16, (32" overall diameter x 10.5 according to coopers website), ordered 4 for now, going to order a spare once I've made my tire carrier.
Also ordered Rancho RS5000 shocks all around, 1-2" lift shackles ( will be cranking the torsion bars 1-1.5"), and some misc maintenance parts.
Decided I will keep the stock wheels and see how it rides before spending the extra money on some aftermarket rims.
Next on the list to order are my CB radio/antenna and components for the 1" body lift I plan to do . Just enough to get a little more clearance.
As soon as I'm legally allowed summer tires on (march 15th) the truck will transform very quickly. Tires, lift, cb, shocks, will go on all over the span of a few days than I will start building bumpers.
I'm hoping to start my sleeping platform in the next week or two, as I may be getting some free plymetal from my work. 3/8" douglass fir plywood, with .030 aluminum back, and .040 aluminum melamine face. very strong, and reasonably light weight.
There won't be a lot going on in the next couple months, mostly receiving parts. But please keep stopping by! Once I get going, its going to be a mad dashSubbing to see where you go with this :coffeedrink:
Thanks for the comments everyone!
