Ahhh very nice I am in the process of designing a bed rack aswell in CAD

Thanks for the pics! That’s pretty much what we are building next, and a custom rack system to hold an RTT in the future.

Nice! Sounds like it’ll look and function great! We build most of ours from scratch without written plans, lots of trial and error. The backrack, roofrack and bumpers were all fabricated or retrofitted for the Ranger

View attachment 39153 View attachment 39152 View attachment 39151 Hey guys! I’m new here and thought I would start off my introducing my truck and showing a few pictures! Always looking for ideas on how to improve it so if you have any ideas please let me know!

My truck is a 2002 Fx4 Ford Ranger with a 4” superlift, I ditched the torsion bars and did a coilover conversion with Fox emulsion coilovers. I also installed a set of BTF uniball upper control arms and running a set of 33x12.50r15 BFG Ko2’s. The truck has factory 4.10 gears and Torsen LSD in the rear. I built a rear swing out spare tire carrier bumper and have a 2 gallon Daystar cam can on the spare. I welded on a set of trail gear rock sliders for protection!

I’m currently exploring my options as far as a roof top tent / awning set up and if I want to run a camper shell or a bed rack set up.

I love this truck! I have a similar truck I am building. How did you build that bumper? Looks like a simple single piece of steel tubing?
