well if you wanna know what im going to do (its top secret): im going to fab up my entire pre runner bar and skid plate. im going to remove my lower valance and somehow make a good mount to mount my fogs. but its going to be behind the bar just so theyre somewhat protected. also gonna have a good size skid plate thats gonna go all the way to the cross member. maybe have a good place to put my plate. its all gonna be freakin amazing!

what all you have planned?

sweet. i havent really planned anything yet other than the idea of making one and basing it off the ones ive seen on trucks and the ones from fabtech and some other places. i plan on having a skid plate tow hooks maybe a winch along with alot of light mounts and no factory bumper.

Yup pretty much like those ones. And not the hoop like on the jeep.


That ranger is awesome. When I dropped my truck off today a yellow ranger with a long travel and cut out fenders front and rear pulled out it was pretty sweet
