I am thinking about it. I am going to see what's it like first w/o it.

Kinda has an Aussie vibe to it. I like it!

Huh. Looks like the French Military uses an Aussie looking type Ranger as well. Look up the Arquus Trigger.






They also have a Ford Everest based version called the Arquus Trapper VT4

Any tie rod issues on rangers like the bronco? I didn’t know if that’s a deal just when you go to 35s and have a front locker.

Man I wish mine was white... and an access cab.

Is this the Ranger Basil's Garage keeps posting about? I assume so, because if not, you have a twin

I have not heard of any. They are small trucks so i would imagine 35's could cause some headaches, if the front end is not rebuilt

Good progress! I'm a big fan of the utilitarian look. Did you go with 265/75r16?

What's going to go on the flat deck?

I just picked up a 2020 xl white supercab myself... they're certainly harder to find than the crew cab, especially with a locker and no big screen in the console.

Amazing. Absolutely loving the build direction. I have this massive love for the simple builds, but have come to the conclusion that they don't work for me, even though I'd really like them to.

I did go 265/75/16. I think it fits the truck perfect.
The tray in the back has fold down sides.

I had 235/85r16 and 265/75r16

How well is your Ranger doing towing that Scamp?

Pulled the trigger on a ranger, I found a 2023 with 8k for a great price.
Here we go :
2023 supercab fx4 (for the locker).
This truck will be my DD and work truck.

Here is the plan for the truck.

OME suspension heavy upfront and medium rears.
Arb bumper
10k winch
Custom flatbed
onboard air compressor
I love the classic look of steelies, so I am going to order the ford 16" silver steelies.
265/75/16 or 285/75/16 not sure which yet ( taking suggestions)

Nice find. My wife is rocking a 2019 Ranger FX4 Supercab with a GFC. It has been a great truck -- super reliable and great mileage for a mid-sized truck! Watching your build!
