YouTube video of the raw trail footage

URL if hyperlink doesn’t work:


This was after a heavy but brief thunderstorm in the Withlacoochee State Forest in Florida.

I was solo so I didn’t attempt anything too sketchy and primarily stuck to some light onX routes.

I can’t wait until the next session with a convoy of mates.

Did you lift or level this beauty? Is so what setup and tire size are you running?
yeah it’s a 3.5 inch lift by rough country that includes spacers, upper control arms, sway bar links, diff relocation bracket, rear shock absorbers. I know rough country isnt the “premium” brand but they’ve performed incredible for the price. I am impressed with on and off road performance. In the future I may replace them with a Bilstein 5100 kit once they exist for this Ranger model in North America but for now they’re genuinely impressive.

the wheels and tires are 33x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja boss AT’s wrapped around 17x8.5 black rhino warthogs at a zero offset.
Under the belly are 3/16th inch steel skids from RCI Off-road.

also, thanks brother I hope you enjoyed the ride!

That’s a good looking build. And Rough Country seems to be trying to up their game as of late. Out of curiosity, did your lift come with steel or forged aluminum upper control arms? The picture on their website shows steel, but the only way to get them individually is forged aluminum.

The ones in the kit I purchased are black powder coated steel tubular design for their upper control arms.
