One of the reasons I bought my Ranger was to get out in the field with my camera gear. I have been thinking about the possibility of camping with the truck and sleeping in the bed. I have installed a Bedrug and with an air mattress or foam pad it should be plenty comfortable. I am 6 ft tall. The...
Installed a Bedrug bed liner. All the tie-downs were removed first and re-installed on top of the liner. I added bolts to the various threaded holes in the bed sides to help hold down the liner and give a bit more of a finished look. I still need to fabricate frames around the bed lights and add...
I quite like the different emblems for the Bronco and Maverick that indicate which edition the truck is (these). Its too bad Ford didn't go that route with the Ranger. So for a lark, I decided to create my own. Given the color of my truck (Cactus gray) I designed and printed (on magnets) emblems...

I wanted to change the 2-part factory lug nuts for black solid aftermarket nuts, but had trouble finding any to fit the factory mags in stock in Vancouver. I was offered a set of for CA$75, but with a 5-week wait for delivery from the US. Or, I could order directly from the US for approx. CA$75...
Replaced the factory lug nuts with black solid aftermarket nuts. Took delivery on a Bedrug bed liner. Sadly I won't have time to install it until the weekend.
I was about to order some matt black tailgate letters from Etsy, and thought I'd check first. Turns out Ford has "Black Platinum Stainless Steel" letters on sale. Cheaper than Etsy and I can pick them up at the dealer. But before I order them...exactly what color is that? Is that a fancy name...
They had 4 left with the 2.7 and FX4 package when I bought mine. Black, silver and cactus gray, plus a black one with the chrome package. I was tempted by the silver which was surprisingly nice. But the cactus gray appealed to me because it is different. I love the colour now. That being said...
First mods to the new truck. Probably the same first mods of many new Ranger owners...The tray fits the center console so nicely, it is stupidly satisfying. All from Amazon.
I just ordered a Bedrug from Action Car and Truck Accessories for $488 with free shipping. Way cheaper than I could find elsewhere in Canada. Alas it seems to be the last one they had in stock:
