Ranger Body Kit. (discuss/opinions)

Seeing as the SLP/Roush kits are not manufactured anymore and of the ones that are left (that I can find) there are no standard cab ones, I found this on Ebay and i am curious of your opinions. I am just wanting it for the side skirts. Not really wanting fiberglass, but if i cant find anything else.....

Input please.

It says it fits 93-04...maybe its me but that body kit would look very boxy/ugly on our smooth front end trucks.

yeah, i looked more after i posted this and found:

http://www.razzi.com/vehicles/ford/r...2dr_9350.shtml

I just want this side skirts. I dont want something too crazy, but nothing 'boxy' like said before.

I am wanting to hide the stuff under the truck. I done like being able to see the tranny support and the factory exhaust shield. Plus will make it look lower than it actually is.

See:


Being able to see that stuff under the truck is driving me nuts.

I cannot find ANYONE that makes the Thunderbolt. Might have a put up a finder's fee (like i did with the lug nuts i needed). I am still looking, but for now, i cannot find anyone with a SLP/Roush kit for standard cab.

Anyone find the Thunderbolt Kit anywhere? How bout the Roush? I have the 06 STX with the front clip. It extends about 5" below the rest of the truck so i figured why not find a set of skirts for the sides.

Just so you know this thread is 9 months old. Sometimes it's better to start a new thread, I noticed you've done this several times tonight, I am just letting you know.

Check ebay and see what you can find.

Brad, you said you only need or want the side skirts. Here are some I found that are just like the skirts on the Thunderbolt Kit

and if any of you are looking for the side skirts for a STLYESIDE bed truck. I have beren looking fior a while and the only ones I have found are the Roush ones iun the post above. No one is making them yet for the stlyesides other then them. I made a lot of phone callks to every MFG I knew of, I even checked out every MAZDA site listing just in case since the beds are the same.
