Not sure what they are called, but all 2004+ Rangers I have seen do not have these little pieces of plastic..



Which go here:



So instead of:


It looks like:


Stock New Ranger pic:



Part numbers:
LH-2L54-8C370-AA
RH-2L54-8C291-BA

I am not sure how much they are or if they are even made anymore.. I couldnt find them online..

I just think it looks alot cleaner with them

 

definitely looks good

i need to look into these

 

your truck doesnt have those? mine has em. i figured they would come on every ranger

 

gotta drill holes for the jnuts/u-nuts...and I'm not even sure if the 04+'s have that piece on the header panel to do so...or even access to actually install the Jnuts/Unuts.

The ones posted are '02-03. Or possibly only '03.


Also...something only 01-02's have, possibly just '01's(that I know of)...full hole covering:

 

yeah but yours is an 01

he said he hasnt seen em on 04+

just another example of ford skimping on the smaller details on these trucks lol

 

any chance they would work on 98's?

 

yeah no doubt, cutting costs must just mean cutting out parts lol

 

01-03's The last pic I posted if of a 2009 and you can see the white piece where it would go..

No idea, dont see why not.. have any friends with 01-03 Rangers?

 

yeah definitely cutting out parts. for example, no more cargo lamps, no more lights in the glove box, no switches on the dome light im sure the list goes on

 

ya i have these on my 02. i had to move them one time when i was installing something but i dont remember what...

 

won't work for 98-00's. Unless they've got a 01-03 headerpanel.

I havn't had mine on since......since.....like 2 years ago. I took that pic when I found all the pieces. lol. Thinkin' I should go ahead and put 'em all back on someday.


Yeah but what he posted is 01-03.....so i'm definately in the rhelm of this thread....

 

wow, i didnt know they were doing all of that. thats disapointing to say the least.

 

easy weight savings there

 

lol but think of the aerodynamics!

 

That goes for all 04+ trucks.....simplifying the line to cost less to the auto manufacturer. Add these to the list: one style of hood, no more black backing behind the grille on light colored trucks to hide the uglyness, bumper covers!?(06+), one style of bed(06+)...i'm sure theres more. Shoot...one Fx4 model now. 08+'s are LOWER and why the hell can you still get a 2dr Xcab!?!!!

No lights in the glovebox, that's a new one for me.

 

found it but does not give description of it

yah the no lights in the glovebox thing pisses me off. nothing a few hours and some wiring cant fix. and idk if it was on the trucks at one point or not, but floor lights are awesome too.

 

I've got a glove box light...

 

yeah yeah rub it in. lol

 

i've got maplights, i've got a glovebox light, i've got cargo lamps on the third brake light, i've got a glovebox light, i've got those little eye brow thingys, i've got a glovebox light.

there...how's that. lol!

 

haha might be a few repetitions in there

 

my '01 has the eyebrow thing and full coverage thing over the top of the gille. glovebox light, but no cargo light :( i guess ford decided the Edge wasn't good enough for one.

 

I'll add to this with the "less padding in the seats" 06+

 

guessing they'll eventually toss out carpeting, and sell them with rubber floors only...

 

that would suck! i love my carpet.
