Factory plastic bedrails/bedcaps.. ??
 
Im not exactly sure what they are called.. but i think someone here might just know what im talking about.

I see a few older rangers ... 05ish models and older with these plastic caps on the side of the beds. They are about 2 inches tall... kinda tapered.

Im curious WTF these are actually called, lol and where i can get some! :sombrero:
:ninja:
Thanks for the help!

Yeah the Edge rail caps, Jeweler actually is getting rid of his soon if you want to PM him

GrafixGuy 12-04-2008 05:37 PM

man I've been looking for some too, they pop up on Ebay every now and then...

I think they would look good on the Sport model trucks, shame they discontinued them

I think the official term for them is "Bed rails" i like them too.

Mykhael 12-04-2008 05:49 PM

They are also called bed rail caps.

04blackedge 12-04-2008 06:26 PM

I want a set too, there was a set on CL for 30, I should have gotten them.

Thanks Guys!

I pm'd jeweler, if anyone else is looking to sell theirs PM me! Thanks

They look like butt! Was so glad mine didn't have them. I would have made the dealer take them off.

Bumpncarstereo 12-09-2008 12:30 PM

do they make caps for the tailgate?

HAZZARDJOHN 12-09-2008 01:16 PM

They came factory on all xlt+ 01-02 Short bed fleet side rangers and were an option in the following years. They are garbage and tacky as hell. I took mine off on the way home from the dealer and they already scratched the paint. I through them in the shed at my parents house and I am sure they are still there, 8 years later.

I had them and liked them. But then when I got my tonneau I had to get rid of them, they really scratch up the paint bad and some moron stripped before I owned the truck stripped out the screws in all of them so I had to use an ez-out on all of them.

I like the bed caps my 99 4x4 came with. Mine also had a tailgate cap. I like em, just need to rhino line or linex my bed.....

PUNKROCKPILOT 12-09-2008 03:48 PM

i think a line-x or rhino liner is waaaaaay better than those plastic POS. my truck came with the chrome bed rails, and they were awful. just my 2 cents. do what you want.

03XLT 12-09-2008 03:53 PM

I don't like those chrome bars they have on the beds of some Rangers nowadays. Looks like a chromed handicap bar in public restrooms. :biggrin: And it screams JCWhitney~ized.

It would look good but you better plan on NEVER taking them off... that would be horrific on the paint... I just painted mine w/ krylon fusion... it's holding up great

SVT01RANGER 12-09-2008 08:35 PM

i thought about getting a pair when my truck sat higher, but came across the tonneau insead

GrafixGuy 12-09-2008 09:13 PM
