Ranger Raptor Baja and Arizona build

[DivRanger]

Great looking build - excellent form and function! Bravo sir! I love seeing your truck being used for its intended purpose.

Any more photos of your bed setup?
I have been trying to figure out how useable bed space is left after installing a chase rack like that.

Sure. Some of these pics, the bed is a mess but functional. When I go camping I leave one spare at home too.

Appreciate it!

do you think there is room for an ARB element sideways behind the rack? And maybe some other items

Such a sick build. How did the Ranger handle Baja in comparison to its siblings?

What do you mean behind the rack? Between the rack and the back bed wall or between the tire and the tailgate?

This last run was all Braptors- which was easy. I’m doing a full raptor run with this and my cousin has a white one too almost the same build- we are doing that top of June and I’ll report back.

the geometry is different for sure compared to my gen 2 raptor. Less travel but it feels like it doesn’t need it.
I’ll have an update report for sure as I’m doing a few things to the build before then

between the rack and the tailgate, sideways, longer side parallel with tailgate.

Sorry I should have looked up that product. I assumed you meant part of their air up line.
I’ll measure and post. I have a 55 qt cooler that fits there. But I’ll put a tape to it shortly and let you know. The chase rack also has the option for a delete on one side if you only run one spare. That’s designed for a cooler in the second spare slot, although it could be narrow.

Here’s some measurements. It’s 16.5” wide in the center spot of the rack (where the gas can is). It’s also 16.5 inches from the first part on the floor too the tailgate. If you rode on top of the base of the rack up against the tire you would get a few more inches (that’s what she said)

That’s for all the info! You answered 2 questions I had.

I think the FMI rack is shorter, if so it will help fitting the 18-19” width of the fridge.

2nd question was, will a pack out fit.

again I really appreciate the detail and the photos! Thank you

I think this is the first time I've seen the Ranger raptor actually used for a legit Baja! Great thread and information. Can't wait to take mine to the dunes in Michigan.

BTW, does anyone know if ADD does custom orders of modified bumpers? IF I go that route, I want to keep the lights off and do some ram air ducting to the intercooler to optimize cooling performance.

There are bumper mounted light options right in front of the grille and I'll probably go that route and the IC with maximum flow since I tend to "hot lap" my truck lol (too many track days with a GT).

Teaser for the next upgrade for my RR.

Haha. What else am I missing ? I’m doing a few last minute upgrades before my next Baja run top of June.
