I am thinking about getting one of these after I remove my front valance. Does anyone have pics of one on a 98-00 Ranger? I am curious to see what it looks like. Heres a link to the one im thinking about getting. Is that a good deal?

i think thats what rngpreruner has.... i

 

Shhh nobodys supposed to know that

Well since the secret is out, yes I do have that one. The one that will fit a Ranger though does not have the skid plate, its just the top part so you'll have to fab up a skid plate for it.

Give me 10min and I'll post a photo of it.

(so maybe its not a secret, I'v had it for over 2years )... lol...

 

Here it is with the stock bumper..



Here's one with out the stock bumper..



Here it is on a stock truck.. you can see the two tubes I added for the skid plate..



If you want any more, I'v got hundreds, if not thousands, of photos...

 

Thanks... So the 2 vertical tubes did not come with it? That was one of the main reasons I wanted it was to add a large skid plate to the front. Do you have any pics taken from the side. I would like to see how much it sticks out. Also it mounts to your frame right? What are your opinions on it... Like it?

 

you could probly fab the duff one's up to work on it

 

I'll take a side picture in the morning for ya...

No, no skid plate. The one with the skid plate wont fit our small trucks.

Yes I added those two tubes.

No it doesnt bolt to the frame, it comes with brackets to bolt to the bumper. I made a "spacer" of sorts when I took off my stock bumper.

I like it. It still looks good after over two years.

 

Heres a photo from the side, and the "brackets" I had to make for it work on the frame.

 

Here;s the one I built for my truck

 

Thats awesome... I would love to make something that like that. How difficult are they to make? Only thing is, I would like to keep my bumper. I am going to remove the valance though. If I was going to make one and keep my bumper on, how would I mount it? I would really rather mount it to the frame that the bumper so its a bit more sturdy.
Thanks...
