Rocker protection, winch bumper and front receiver???

Who makes/sells rock rails for Rangers? Who makes/sells a front winch bumper for Rangers? DrawTite only lists a front receiver hitch for 05 and older, Will that hitch fit an 06?

I haven't been able to find anything for Rangers. Except brush guards. It appears as though everything is going to have to me custom made.

Westin makes some good slider bars for the ranger. I have the black ones on my truck. Durable and looks good. I think it is like 4 inch tube.

those are not sliders, those are step bars and are not even close to being strong enough to be a slider.

They were not meant to hold the weight of the truck which is what a slider is intended to do. Which is why they are called stepbars.
