Great video and entertaining too. “Why do they use metric bolts?” 😂 Thanks mate, I will do this to my Raptor as soon as I get the brackets.

Amazing! Thanks for that Video! I am soooooo relieved that one does not have to remove the tonneau cover, the bed liner and anything else from the bed as shown in most other videos for installing the J-Braces. That makes it so much easier and I wonder why others actually do remove all of that...

Great video feel like this should be on the vehicle as standard

Great video as always! Got my J-brace brackets installed last week, and put the rack and toolbox on my Ranger Raptor last night. Probably now have close to 200 pounds plus setting on the rails, so figured best to add these. Not that I am not still a little bit upset with Ford for making a truck that would need something like this added to be used to do typical truck task. LOL Makes no sense to me why these were not installed at that factory.

Cool, I continue to get good ideas for the Ranger Raptor I will be picking up this summer.

Just wanted to say thanks for this video man. I went ahead and did it in my truck in under 2 hrs. I'm annoyed that Ford would do this in the first place but glad I dont have to go through them to get this done. You also learn a little more about your truck every time you do projects like this.

I asked about removing the fender flares to paint them. I appreciate you showing the clips and removal. I guess ill need to find a part number for replacement clips incase i break them when i remove the flare. Good video, can't wait to see what you do next.

Ford should really add this as an option

Thanks for sharing, I will probably be adding this just for future considerations. Overall, not a terribly difficult task. Certainly easier than dropping the headliner as you did in previous video. :-)

Here is video idea, I would love to see a how too video on installing a Putco switchblade led tailgate light bar. I know how you seem to enjoy cool looking lights and you seem really pretty good at wiring in lights . I am not really planning to buy a switchblade light exactly, but it seems the same wiring is required to make those work, as it does my lighted headache rack, which at the moment I have the lights working, but the truck now thinks it has a trailer behind it, which is canceling out several of my safety features , like my blind side monitors, cross path defection, and rear park sensors are all disabled when a trailer is thought to be connected. I Would love to see your take on installing something similar like the switchblade light. I have seen these on KZfaq installed and working on the back of 5th gen Rangers. I am betting they would or should fit the Rangers.

Ok cool thanks

i have a ranger raptor too but i seems to be the unlucky one with B pillar rattle sound coming out, look like some of the ranger from the australia and asia area have this issue. Hope the us one dosent.

Hey Mr.Flaberdoopin I just did this on mine but when I got the drivers side wheel well apart I noticed my fuel overflow drain hose (the tine hole at the bottom of the fill port) was disconnected and there was another barbed plastic hose that looked like it fit perfectly was just sitting there so I connected them up. I didn't have any hose clamps at the time that fit but was wondering if you notice anything off about that on yours?

Not to get off-topic, but where did you get your phone Mount on your dash

My understanding is Ford will start paying for labor at the end of July 2024.

what size are the rivets?

I never would have bought my 2024 ranger if I knew this B.S. is required to use a bed topper. I'm so sick of Ford's stupidity.
