We started this project with a brand new MY19 Ford Ranger PX3 XLT ute. Purchased in the stunning Lightning Blue to complement the upgrades and stand out on the road.

This project will go on a journey over the coming weeks to show how easy it is to convert an everyday dual cab ute into the ultimate crossover weekend warrior.

Stage one starts with installation of a new RIVAL™ Bumper Made from 6mm alloy to provide excellent strength and protection without the disadvantage of a heavy steel bar, the RIVAL™ Bumpers are designed to ensure easy installation as a full replacement for the OE bumper. Stylish and functional these bars come in a matte black finish.

Features:
 – Integrated recovery points
 – Built-in tow hooks and high lift jack slots
 – Winch mount and access
 – High quality welds
 – Designed for ease of fitment with RIVAL™ Underbody Armour
 – ADR69 compliant

We have also upgraded the wheels and tryes to 17×9 King Blade Milled Finish rims wrapped with Toyo AT2 285/65/17 tyres to give the ute the stance and performance it deserves.

Next stage includes a Pedder’s 2 inch lift kit then back to the workshop for an exciting heavy duty alloy tray – watch this space.
