I bought a 2011 Ranger 2 x 4 for my Sons first truck and think I am missing some parts to let the spare down. We have the lug wrench and the extension that has the jack handle on one end and an extension with a male fitting on one end and a female on the other. So I believe I am missing an extension with male/female fittings. Can someone with a 2011 verify that for me?

My truck has a bunch of extension pieces that clip together. They attach to make a long pole, the end that goes into the truck has a little hook sort of.. the other end goes into a hole in the lug nut wrench.. which you use to turn to lower the tire. It goes into a hole near the license plate.

 

This one doesn't use the hook, there is a square stud on the part under the bed that lowers the spare. I am missing one of the extensions (about 17 inches long) that goes with the other one to fit the square stud to lower the spare.

Actually, the square stud for the spare, is the female end of the extension. Well, it is that way on my 2011

 

Mine has a square (male) stud on the winch and you clip the two extension rods together and put the lug wrench (handle) on the end of that and let the spare down. I am missing one of the extension rods. Also missing the piece that holds the plastic cover down over the jack

Might want to check out a couple of junkyards/pull a part places. Or if you are good friends with a used car lot, they might have what you need.

 

Checked out the two closest j/y's and struck out, The next closest j/y is about 25 miles away so that will be this weekend. After reading your reply I called a couple of used car lots and they didn't have any. They said their jack handles go with the jacks in the cars. I think that was their way of saying you're stupid leave us alone, LOL. If nothing else I'll check out some of the big j/y's around Springfield the next time I go there.

I DID say if you are good friends with a used car lot. Sorry that didn't work out for you. What about some of the online parts stores, or maybe Ebay???? Flea markets?? Thrift stores?? Yard sales??

 

Write eBay sellers that part out Rangers and ask them if they can help you out. Search used Ranger parts. Good Luck!
