You dont need to apologize to the armchair internet critics. They'll always have an opinion even if they've never left home. It's a clean build and looks nice! Congrats.
I find for offroad use, the desire for "more noise" to be not my thing. The quieter the better IMO. I would want as quiet as I could get without it being a power drain. Silence is golden.... stealth. So it depends on what each person is looking for. And for me NOT being heard is preferable.
I ordered a 2022 Ranger a few weeks ago and just discovered your channel. Your install and review videos are excellent. I'm definitely interested in more Ranger videos. Rear suspension upgrades for towing/RV'ing. Street legal headlight upgrades. Engine performance/tuning upgrades. Maybe a Diamondback cover with all the ATV hauling upgrades. Camping and overland focused. Please keep the Ranger content coming! It is appreciated.
“Keep the Ranger content coming!”I’ve watched every video in this series and have brought my 2021 Ranger along...Icon stage 5 kit, Black Rhino wheels and BFG 275/70/17s. I have had a couple issues with the “steel” spindles that Ford changed up. But overall your content is what fired me up and informed me on installing it all. Thanks Stage 3👍🏻
These videos have been great, I've gone to school on a few of them. I'm picking my new Ranger up tomorrow. It's already levelled in the front, new wheels and BFG's. New grille ordered. Will be making a custom bed rack and going camping!.
Tomorrow I'm putting Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my 2020 Ranger XLT FX4 Off Road along with a tonneau cover. This is the first video I've seen of Ranger modifications and it is inspiring me to do more. As stock, my Ranger antenna just clears the garage door opening so I don't want to lift it. But, so far, I think the height is about right for off road driving here in Florida.
I loved this series, it's inspiring me to build my ranger similar to yours. One different thing I've done is used the Yakima bed rack system since it lets me use a tonneau cover along with it. It gives nice protection when overlanding as well as security when I don't have the tent on and using it as a daily driver. Great series! I'll be waiting for the next one.
It would be great to see a either an intercooler or transmission cooler install as well as a comparison of billet upper control arms (like the Camburg Kinetik) against the tubular set you've previously installed. Looking forward to more videos!
On my 2020 Ranger Crew Cab, I installed the BDS 3.5" Lift kit with UCA's and rear shackle lift; BDS Crash Bars; TOYO Open Country R/T 295/70 R17 Tires; Flowmaster 717909 FlowFX Cat-Back Exhaust System, fiberglass wrapped stem to stern; and the Injen PF9071WB - Cold Air Intake, sounds great- I can hear the turbine whine and blowoff valve but it is quiet on highway or at part throttle; also HDX Winch Mount Grille Guard and Smittybuilt XRC GEN3 9.5K winch; The rig eats bumps like candy, pulls and climbs very well over any terrain I have found.
Nice rig. My opinion is your tire size and offset, is what is causing your rear dip issue. It's also not matching the springs as visually it looks like a really massive bumpy ride, as compared to what the ranger was originally tuned to in Australia. My opinion anyway. Nice video, keep it up.😊
Noah thought I had watched all the Ranger videos ...missed this one. Still have may 2019 Ranger Lariet I purchased new still love it and making it more my own. Love the videos and Stage 3 Motorsports
I want to add some good frame mounted sliders, but the selection seems limited to Shrokworks. Videos I've seen on them reveal some quality issues. Hopefully Ford Performance decides to work with ARB on this since the winch bumper will be available soon. I called them and suggested it, he said ya never know and he would pass it on.
These videos have been great as I just picked up a Ranger for trail use and towing. Catching up on all the older content but still looking forward to more.
You mentioned heights in reference suspension. Rather than add a leaf what about a shackles that would give you more flex and wheel drop as well as height
What’s your take on BOV’s for this truck? Love the modes reminiscent of a Ranger Raptor. I have a Rocky Ridge lift ( 5 inch) but only have the stock FX4 shocks. Looking for more mods later otherwise love the work on this truck.
Great videos on the Ranger! Currently own an F150 and want to move to a Ranger. Very interested in your overland focus. Not sure about the Tremor and hope you consider that package for discussion in a future video.
Yes, more Ranger content! How about dealing with the small fuel tank / limited range, even if advice on the best three 5-gallon jerry cans in the bed set up!
We did install a few options with the Roto Pax containers attached to the bedrack, check out our build page for more - www.stage3motorsports.com/Stage-3s-2019-Ford-Ranger-2-3L-EcoBoost-Project-Truck-Build.html
How’s the power hold up with the weight and tires? Ford performance has a tune among some other performance parts coming to market. Would you power it up or even regear if you kept it longer and used it?
The little 2.3L did surprisingly well even with all the extra weight. The power felt very similar to stock and it's still much faster than our Tacoma build haha. I don't think there would ever be a need to re-gear it, but I could definitely see us messing with tuners or some bolt-on power adders on a future Ranger build.
Please keep the Ranger content. I want a Ranger so bad. I have been saving for what feels like an eternity to get one. I know you guys installed a bed swing case and a bed extension setup. If you had to choose one (swing case or bed extension) which would you choose?
There will be more Ranger content to come! For the way I use a truck I think I'd go with the SwingCase. I like the convenient storage and I typically don't haul quads or large cargo that would require having the tailgate down with an extender.
We never really dove into tuning or power adders with this truck since we were so focused on overland and off-road upgrades, but I've heard good things about the Ford Performance tuner. We'll almost certainly test one out on our next Ranger build.
@@JoePhotoOnline They really do. We thought the same thing when we first mounted them. The bulky sidewall lugs and tread pattern make them seem a lot larger than they are

Thanks for the support Austin!

We agree each driver has their own use and preferences when building their rig!

they have a performance upgrade for the motor. Adds like 50 hp, I think it was around $500. The down side is you have to run premium fuel.
@@paulhyland5868 and loose mpg, not worth it, unless don't care about gas

I like the sound of that! I think an intercooler would be especially helpful with all the heat we get out here in Arizona.
Here for the Ranger!!!! Intercooler, engine tuners for the next build
I'll take note! It would certainly be interesting to see what a tuner could do to this little EcoBoost
I agree with Trevor. Especially bigger intercooler to help it breathe and more aggressive look on the front.
would be so sick to see a headlight upgrade install on the ford ranger!

I have a 2019 Ranger and really appreciate your honesty, both pro and con with this build. Thanks great video series.
Would love to see some modifications on the inside of the cab. Maybe functionality and a little of radio modification. The videos are great 👍🏼
I just got a 6112 and 5160 bilstein with a readylift 3 inches at the front and 1 in the back from you guys..... can wait to put them on
Right on! You can't go wrong with Bilstein, they make some great shocks.
Nice rig. My opinion is your tire size and offset, is what is causing your rear dip issue. It's also not matching the springs as visually it looks like a really massive bumpy ride, as compared to what the ranger was originally tuned to in Australia. My opinion anyway. Nice video, keep it up.😊
I added the Spacers, 4LEDs, a leveling kit and Muddies! Next an Aftermarket Exhaust

Definitely liked watching this and learning about different parts out there for overland builds. Be cool to see you guys build a street version!
Refreshing, great insightful and honest review on the pros and cons of each upgrade. Great content.
Thanks Steve we do our best to bring honest reviews.
Love the Ranger products!
We've got a lot of great options and more are still coming!

Excellent review! Thoroughly put together, thank you! Qs on 2.5 fox, hows the ride compares to stock suspension? Is it worth the upgrade?

I like what you have done with this. I love the red hooks and the grill is killer.

I am hoping that you guys keep going with a new Ranger platforms. I have one and I am just starting to slowly modify it.
What spacers did y’all run with the stock wheels? Truck looks awesome!

2022 Ranger Tremor Build!
Helpful information, good content. I’m ranger overlander, so it’s aways nice to have honest reviews. Thanks!
I just got a 2WD ‘19 Ranger for work but I’d like to see what products are out there for some off roading and street.
Ford Performance ProCal tuner for sure!!
Seems like lots of folks are curious about that tuner. I'll see what we can do on our next build!
So my question is the KM3s are they 285/70/17 as well? You just said you swapped from KO2s to KM3?
the icon leaf springs fellas
wondering how those affect ride.
My wife has 21 Ranger Lariat with the Termer package. I am looking for a good lift for the Termer package.
I’ve actually copied this build and it’s awesome. I can still enjoy in the parking lot and also offroad
@ 1:32...I just want this stance!
Next build, wide body!
Pure bad arse. Looks great guys!
Thanks Robert!
loving the ranger content. how did you guys achieve that stance / wheel poke with a 0 offset rim?
Looking to get one next week, got me some ideas for it
I would've liked to see how it does at Broken Arrow after the suspension upgrades. Not all of us want a hardcore camping truck.
Thoughts on the tremor package ? Is that good value ?
What spacers are they ?
Prerunner build would be awesome
Would dig a Tremor Build!
We've got some great stuff coming stay tuned!
Hello what are those lights on top of your bonnet? Greetings from down under
Thank you
What switches are y’all using to control the pillar lights?
Why didn’t you flash it with the Ford performance upgrade to add 45 hp and 60ft lbs of torque? Just curious
We never really dove into tuning or power adders with this truck since we were so focused on overland and off-road upgrades, but I've heard good things about the Ford Performance tuner. We'll almost certainly test one out on our next Ranger build.
Ford Ranger 👍🏻🇺🇸
You guys got no winch?
All that and the rear suspension sags and bottoms out?
The grill in the pics and the video here and on the website are not the same grille. I want the one that’s in the pics/vids. 😭
love the muffler do they make For tacomas
It is a really nice sounding kit, but unfortunately AWE doesn't currently have any Tacoma systems.
Can you add a hidden winch?
No word on the tail lights?
What happens to the truck now?
what is the tire spec?
No way the CAI is a waste of money?
Hi, what are the size of the stock rims with the 285 70 tires, tia!
17in
Guys come on. You’re driving down a road ide take my bmw on 😅
What size KM3 did you guys end up using?
They're 285/70R17 which is around 32.7"
@@NoahStage3 gotcha, I knew the previous KO2 were 285/70 but those KM3 look bigger
@@JoePhotoOnline They really do. We thought the same thing when we first mounted them. The bulky sidewall lugs and tread pattern make them seem a lot larger than they are
I just wish ford dropped the v6 ecoboost in it
Ford Fuckin RANGER
BAJA KITS PLEASE
My 19 Ranger is unbearable! Can't drive it under 45 mph or else it stutters and bucks. Dealership can't figure it out.
I sent you guys a message on IG. I need to get someone on the phone to give me some input and help on what I need to order.
