What's up guys and gals,
Welcome to Beer.Raptor build thread. As of right now I have invested more than $10k of afermarket parts on this RR to make it where I want it for off roading/overlanding in Northern California. Here are the specs of the truck.
2024 Ford Ranger Raptor in Azure...
I recently got back from my Moab trip and wanted to share with you guys.
The drive from the Bay Area, California to Moab, UT takes about 15 hours. I took the 80 East to SLC and then drive south Hwy 6/191 to Moab. The 89 from SLC to HWY 6 was horrible. A lot of traffic. We decided to drive on...
Every Year I try and make my way to Death Valley in February because the temperatures are about right and there is so much to explore there. This time I lead my friends the North side of Death Valley. Titus Canyon was close though this due to flood damage. So, we had to skip that and head...
I just slapped on the 35x12.5x17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT tires with Method MR703 +35 offset wheels. The only mod I did to make these fit was change out the crash bars with Readylift high clearance ones. So far no rubbing on normal driving. Looks like I would have to do some trimming in the...
I got with my buddy Chris from Bynd4x4 and he made a Tactical Camper for the Ranger. He usually only does it for the Tacoma's and Gladiators but he was kind enough to make a 1 out of 1 for me for right now. He will order and build more if more Ranger owners will be interested of buying one. I...
Just finished installing some HMF ditch light brackets on my RR and paired it with my BajaDesign S2 lights that I had from my Tacoma. Just like any bracket, these were easy to install and they barely clear the hood.
It took a while but I finally got my Rock Sliders from Hot Metal Fab recently. They are taking orders also. It's DOM tube steel and I went with the Satin Black powder coat which came out a little to glossy for me but it does match with the recovery hooks on the Ranger Raptor.
I had him do a...
I ordered these pop out cup holders for my ranger because the US Ranger is really lacking in cup holders and I need more when I stuff my whole family in the truck. Has anyone tried installing these yet or know which dash parts to order to make these work?

I was talking to Nathan from CBI Offroad and he said if I get enough Ranger owners interested to of buying these roof racks, he will make them. We just need to show the Ford Ranger community is big enough for CBI to start investing in the R&D to sell these. I really like the Prinsu Roof Rack...
I was talking to the owner Chris at Bynd4x4 and he said he will make these Tactical Campers for Rangers if he has at least 5 people interested of buying them. His shop is in Sacramento. I seen these out in the wild several times on the trails and Car events and I am very impressed by the...
The first thing I did with my truck once I got was to drive it straight from the dealership to Mar Quality in Newark, CA. Had them do the whole truck in matte PPF and and ceramic coat after. I told them hold off on the tail gate until I am ready. I'm trying to see if I can get the same applique...
I seen a red RR on instagram with a F-150 Raptor style tailgate applique and I was wondering where you can get this at? It's the one with the big FORD logo going across. Really I want to get rid of the ugly Ford badge on the tailgate and make it where the tailgate applique has the spot for the...
Since the Bronco Raptor and Ranger Raptor uses similar frame and engine. I wonder if the Fox 3.0 suspension and the sway bar disconnect can be installed on the Ranger Raptor. What you guys think?
What's up RR crew. I'm trying to get my hands on a Ranger Raptor but since September of last year none of the dealerships I been going to in the Bay Area will take a down payment from. I still haven't heard from the three different dealerships that took my information. Do you guys know which...
