Ok I think I've found the best a-pillar bracket on the market... And it's made by a race shop in LA!

https://www.fse-la.com/product-page/2024-ford-ranger-off-road-light-hanger-bracket

I also bought these brackets and for the price the fitment was horrible. The extra bracing on the bottom side of the brackets digs into the molded rubber on the cowling cover and any way you adjust the bracket it is within 1/16 or less from the hood edge. After final tightening the gaps got closer. I made several calls and 1 email to fse-la and no response. I ended up modifying them to work after taking then on and off 10 to 15 times.

Well, call me crazy but if I were you guys I would want to examine what he had to do to make them work properly, maybe y'all will learn something? You should want his modified brackets to make them better for the rest of us. R&D bruh.

You are absolutely right sir! That is exactly our intent. :thumbsup: Having fitted them successfully on customer vehicles locally, we know the design is solid. Although we do not test fit each of them on our own RR for every customer, we do inspect them for dimensional accuracy, symmetry and surface condition prior to shipping. Having said that, it is possible we have made a mistake. We would like to know what had happened, so that we can rectify this problem.

We were originally a shop specialized solely in servicing supercars and race cars. The economy shift since pandemic has pushed us to expand our spectrum of expertise. These brackets are our first product, and we wish we could price them lower for everyone. These days, we are focusing on improving our in-house design and machining capability. Soon we will be able to offer better quality products at a lower price.

Yeah I ordered them as well and they didnt fit. Had to cut the plastic molding to make the bonnet close flush afterwards because of the bracing.

Second set I've bought (2 different shops) which didnt fit... but these were close so just cut the plastic to make it fit.

Hi Luke, I am trying to find your order but don't see any record here. Any chance you placed an order under a different first name & address? If so, send me a private message or an email at [email protected] and I will be more than happy to help you out.:thumbsup:

We do ship worldwide. We received an order from Dubai very recently and at the moment it's still in transit.

There are similar items to ours out there that are designed for an older generation of Ford Ranger. They may be falsely advertised to be compatible with the 2024 and onwards models. Our brackets are designed exclusively for the 6th Gen. We will frequently check this thread for customer service.

For what it's worth, I have installed these on two Ranger Raptors at my shop for myself and a customer. They did lightly touch the plastic molding on mine but it was a non-issue. I did not have a problem with the hood closing or the brackets touching the hood.

Can someone tell me if you order these as a quantity of 1 or 2 on the FSE-LA website to get 2 brackets? Pictures show 2 brackets. $129.00 per bracket would seem high. I emailed them and never got a clarification. Thanks

That was me from Dubai with the order. I was going to ask for a test fit but I don't think it's possible?
