I've got some plans to buy some little parts off of the 2006 Ranger to put on my own, but I was curious as to when they should become available. shouldn't the 2006 model rangers be hitting the lot soon?

 

um some time around october

 

Wow and boy are those parts gonna be expensive. You still work for Ford Mark?

 

try 2006....lol..im sorry i just had to say it..

wat kind of parts u plannin to get Mark?

 

why not get 04?

 

2006 ranger emblems... him and i both ;o) theyre styled like the new f150/250 badges.

 

But isnt there an indention in the tailgate for it.

 

pics pics pics..i cant remember wat the 150s and 250s eblems..

rnt they both different..

 

no... not the tailgate badge... im talking about the side badges that say ranger!

 

hey i was gonna do that. i am already trying to get some.

 

Well barrman said it. AS soon as the new RANGER emblems are available I'll surely be getting some. I might have some custom paint work done with them too, but we'll see.

And no I don't work for Ford anymore, but I make enough at my new job that I can suffer the lack of discount from Ford lol.

 

*****.

 

Typically, model year changeover happens at the production line in early August with vehicle deliveries to the dealers beginning in late August/early September. Since there are relatively minor changes for 2006, this will likely go according to schedule. The dealers also get their new model parts literature about the same time and most 2006 replacement parts should be in the pipeline then or shortly thereafter.

 

I might get a set of the 06 corner lights.

 

You all sound like buzzards circling a dead critter.

Get some pics of the new badges. They would probably look great on my truck.

 

i couldnt find any close-up pictures of the badge, but you can kinda see it in these:





theyre rectangular with slightly rounded edges, and RANGER inset in the rectangle. they look niiiiiice.

EDIT: in fact, in the second picture, the top wehre it says RANGER with a line under it... thats like an illustration of the new badges.

 

I like the wheel lip moldings better than the '04 FX4 too... Wonder how much those will run?

 

If buying an FX4 or EDGE err Sport, yank off those Nissan flares and it'll look much better.

 

^^^^^ Seriously those are Nissan replicas

 

i wouldnt mind taking a few parts off the 06.. but as a whole i'm going to have to give it a
BTW: cool ideas about the badges guys, cant wait to see the pics... might be a cool mod

 

<barf>

 

i think ill keep mine.

 

That is all I like about them, other than that, it looksl ike a Sport Trac grill, and some fugly front bumper work.....yuck.

I like our 98-04's

Not that I dont like the other years.....88-92 I love as well.

I just dont love the others as much as current year Rangers.

Below the skin, its all the same.

 

fords lame *** attempt to raise sales....some minute details are nice about it, but overall it looks too much like a toyota/nissan

 

Are there any other pics of that and the Sport? Well, more pics of the sport?
