The Beast is a perfect name for it! In the nicest possible way, that car is an absolute beast! Everything about it just screams 'purpose'... Love the drone work too 😉👍🏼
Shes a beast alright! Fitted my induction kit the other day and it's well worth the money if anyone was thinking about it. Brilliant sound from it and sharper throttle response. Must get some photos sent to you but I'm delighted with it 🤙
Definitely a beast and in our favourite colour 🧡 touching on the phone holder you pointed out, we'd love to see your thoughts on our phone mount we adapted with RAM Mounts UK.
We find it awesome for camping trips, so useful. Days out we've parked up, and even if it's raining we can lay a big rug in the back and have a picnic.
They are strut top mount spacers, had them from a company in Northern Ireland. Pretty sure it was an ebay purchase. It was around 4 years ago now so can't find the listing.
Love the beast ,you could use 4 way stretch material to do your tub roof ,i will send you the link but use heat proof glue ,did out my T4 and you can mode it and stretch it round all the curves .
Great video and you have done a great job with it. I am thinking about a used 2016/ 2017 Ranger Wildtrack possibly later in the year as the load space and towing capacity etc make it appealing. These Wildtrack spec ones look great and especially in the orange or black finishes. What is it like to live with every day being a pickup truck i.E is it okay handling on the road (has it got any worse with a suspension lift) and also what sort of mileage range do you get from it to a tank round the doors locally? Thanks
when you drive them they don't feel much different to driving a car apart from the handling around corners where they feel a bit like a boat that's what i noticed anyway when i went from my BMW to a Colorado. If you only do a 2" or 3"" lift it won't affect the handling much but if you go any bigger then it can start changing how it handles. They are also pretty fuel efficient.
Lovely looking truck. I’m looking at getting a 3.2 ranger hopefully in a few months,your video has been so helpful.what sort of gains are you putting out with the tuning box and induction kit?
Tuning box is gone. I've moved over to a proper remap from PAC tuning. The mapping works perfectly woth the induction kit. Not had it dyno'd since the remap bit it feels strong now. Way stronger than standard.
Nice one Dave; funny you never thought about a full truck review! Good video as always - in relation to secondary wiring, have you thought of an auxiliary fuse box and relays for it all? May help with the aftermarket footwell lights (I still haven't wired mine in to the factory loom either🙈) Leccy side steps next mate for the beast...😉
What is your wheel offset? It's a nicely set up ranger. Your next mod get a provent 200 catch can! That was the 1st mod I did to stop the sludge and soot build up in the intercooler and inlet manifold.
Not sure exactly on the offset. I actually have a proven can and all the fittings sat in the garage, just one of those jobs I haven't got round to doing (I know I really should!).
Awesome rig! Just bought a 66 plate 3.2 Ford ranger myself- just what your thoughts were on the TDI tuning box? I am kitting it out for longer overland/touring setup so looking to increase the mpg for long trips. Did you find a noticeable increase in mpg after the tdi tuning box?
No, quite the opposite. I bought mine for performance setting not economy, so I fitted mine, turned in up to the top setting and have left it ever since. 🤣 To be honest I'm not all that pleased with it, I'm not saying it does nothing, but I am saying it does very little. 😔
Whats the flex like between the cab and the canopy? Have heard of issues in Australia where owners have put roof top tents and bolted to both. Looks like you've done that in one of the pics/videos
Not had a single problem, but, I dont have mine fixed on all the time. The roof box goes on for trips away only. But I have to say it's been fine. Maybe because the roofbox is GRP? Possibly.
Its great seeing a TH-cam channel on Rangers from the UK. I have a Limited, and there is a lot of chrome so I was intrigued how you dechroming yours? Any suggestions much appreciated. Keep up the mods, their really interesting. Thanks
I wondered if you can help me I have cooper stt Pro 295/65/20's on my 2017 ranger and have tire rub in the front its on a 2 inch lift kit I believe. Any remedies you can suggest is appreciated.thanks
Tyres and wheel offset in combo are too big for that lift. You will need to do what 99% of us do and chop into the front of the front arch liners. 😉 They're simply plastic and can be trimmed. I've removed a fair old chunk from mine after fitting 35" tyres even on my new 6" lift kit.
With all of this Additional Stuff on the Car you will have a lot of Wind noise above 80 km/50mph Is there any Windnoise. My Hoodbonnet alone makes a incredible amount of windnoise.
Obviously the tyres do create a lot of noise anyway, but the roof bar doesnt create noise like some I've seen, perhaps because it is set a little further back to eliminate glare on the bonnet, and its tight to the roof skin. But let's be honest, if I cared about it that much I'd remove them! Simple fact is that it is not that bad in reality and we use the car as a family and not once has anyone even mentioned "noise".
@DetailingandtheBeast cheers what's the product called as trying to search it but carnt find it I live the camera in canopy and does the reverse camera still work with this set up cheers
Reverse camera still work as standard. I've since added amazon echo auto to it. The product was something like Sync 2 expansion hdmi unit or similar, it was A LONG TIME AGO now like maybe 2018 when I got it. Wouldn't surprise me if it was rare now.
Noticed on one of your other videos about the abs my abs hill decened parking pilot and traction has all lite up did this happen to you great videos btw
@@DetailingandtheBeast just a quick note, I had all the same errors and ended up being the right wheel speed sensor only, might be worth as you said to plug in forscan first because it might be just that.
IF you go water wading... which I don't. 😆 Besides that it is actually only a duct so is open ended in the bay. If you have a ranger you will know that the standard airbox has an open ended trumpet in the wing anyway 😉
Hi just subscribed liking the content I wonder if you could help me with something I've just bought the same paint thickness gauge as you have but the metal sensor on the one I have seems sharp its scratching the test plates never mind the paint on the car Could you check yours does it feel sharp to the touch Your help would be appreciated before I contact the seller Love the truck Thanks Tommy
Yeah it is slightly sharp on the edge of the probe, but I've never had a scratch because you should only do a placement, not dragging it. I've taken thousands of readings with mine and never noticed a defect inflicted by the probe.
@@DetailingandtheBeast thanks for the reply must be the way its meant to be I did at first have it on a uneven surface The arm of the chair silly me Ill try it on the car got a mazda 3 and paint seems very thin
Yeah I defo shouldn't... Way too overpriced for essentially a Ford pickup. You're talking modified 2012 GTR money, and you'd be stupid to buy a raptor if you are a business. Finally, there's the old saying... There's no replacement for displacement 😉
@@DetailingandtheBeast pretty reasonable priced here in Australia. Plus they good for business over here don’t have the same tax issues. Tho your rig is good. Do you have a throttle controller? I’m thinking of installing it in my raptor
Oh you definitely notice. It doesn't add power, it changes the throttle positioning. So you get like 80% of the power over the first 20% of the pedal. It just livens up the driving experience. You can pick like any of 18 settings, but on the EVC most don't use any of the eco settings and use performance 4 through 7 (it does 1-9). I find 9 way too aggressive, but it's fun to try.
Hiya mate I really liked your video, is it possible if you can pin your Instagram account on my comment. I need help finding some body parts for my Ford ranger. Thank you and keep up the good work
The Beast is a perfect name for it! In the nicest possible way, that car is an absolute beast! Everything about it just screams 'purpose'... Love the drone work too 😉👍🏼
Drone shots took me a little while and 2 broken props 🤣🤣 I'm a very very light hobby user, not a pro.
@@DetailingandtheBeast Haha its a very professional looking production 👍🏼
Shes a beast alright! Fitted my induction kit the other day and it's well worth the money if anyone was thinking about it. Brilliant sound from it and sharper throttle response. Must get some photos sent to you but I'm delighted with it 🤙
Thanks for the feedback Ewan! I'm glad you like it. 😎👍
Proper beast. Our builder has just bought a raptor, looks very similar.
Awesome setup 😎👍
This is an awesome truck, I really like what you’ve done with it!!.
Cheers! 😊
That was awesome, Dave! Great walkaround and what a cracking truck!
Cheers! A little birdy tells me Chop to the Top is back!?!?! 😉
It's on my watch later for tonight. 🤩🤩
@@DetailingandtheBeast Oh yes! Back with a muddy, smelly, dangerous bang 😂
Terrific work Dave 👍🏻
Thanks pal. 👍
should replace the ram air kit with a snorkel, would have cooler air probably give more of a power increase and allows you to drive in water.
A driving in car review would awesome to see.
Definitely a beast and in our favourite colour 🧡 touching on the phone holder you pointed out, we'd love to see your thoughts on our phone mount we adapted with RAM Mounts UK.
That is a incredible. Wouldn't mind something like that
We find it awesome for camping trips, so useful. Days out we've parked up, and even if it's raining we can lay a big rug in the back and have a picnic.
Love what you have done to your Wildtrak :) Was wondering where did you get your tie down rails that are on the walls of your canopy?
What front grille are you using. Didn’t catch that in the video which is a great watch by the way.
it all looks beautiful, where did you buy the supports for the roof rack? Thanks
nice truck, how did you get a 3inch lift in the front?? i have not seen any 3inch kits to buy in uk.. all seem to be 2 inch only
They are strut top mount spacers, had them from a company in Northern Ireland. Pretty sure it was an ebay purchase. It was around 4 years ago now so can't find the listing.
Nice truck👌🏻. Where did you buy the twin fog lights do you have a site? 👍🏻
Hey there, do you have a link to the? Load Max kit. Please.
Love the beast ,you could use 4 way stretch material to do your tub roof ,i will send you the link but use heat proof glue ,did out my T4 and you can mode it and stretch it round all the curves .
Yeah send me, send me. Sounds interesting. A material finish would be spot on. 👍
do the folding mirrors fold when you use the pacive entry to unlock the car or will work only with the key ?
Great video and you have done a great job with it. I am thinking about a used 2016/ 2017 Ranger Wildtrack possibly later in the year as the load space and towing capacity etc make it appealing.

Tuning box is gone. I've moved over to a proper remap from PAC tuning. The mapping works perfectly woth the induction kit. Not had it dyno'd since the remap bit it feels strong now. Way stronger than standard.
And neither mod is expensive. For around 500 quid you get a totally different feel and a lot more sporty feel to the engine.
@@DetailingandtheBeast definitely be looking into this now.
Nice one Dave; funny you never thought about a full truck review! Good video as always - in relation to secondary wiring, have you thought of an auxiliary fuse box and relays for it all? May help with the aftermarket footwell lights (I still haven't wired mine in to the factory loom either🙈)

I have got an aux firebox for the rear battery, but never wired it up.

What goove lights did you get as the standard ambient lighting ain’t that bright love yours
There's a video on my channel for that! But it's the 4 strip car kit. 😁

Acoustic carpet for inside the rear canopy
A few have suggested this. Have you done anything similar yourself? Any recommendations on what to actually buy??
Cheers
I just buy it from eBay mate but use contact adhesive spray instead of carpet adhesive. It is Uber pliable
Very nice. I've just picked up a 66 plate. Just started the upgrades. Where do you get the overlay badges?
DMB Graphics.

the wildtrak doesnt come with chromes, the limited does, i have one too.
Best getting them removed and either vinyl wrapped or painted. As Javier says there isnt a massive amount on the wildtrak. 👍
Nice truck. I'm interested in getting this wheel and tire set up but maybe
on 305 55 20 tyre.. would it fit or rub with 2inch lift? Cheers
It rubs now on a 3" lift. I've had to chop out my arches by about 5 or 6 inches.

What were the name of the wheels...thought you said send but can't find them on the net. Nice truck mate
Sen del rey s35. Available as a rebrand (just stickers) from DV8 automotive 👍
Do you have any air induction kits still for sale cheers
Yes we're still pumping them out at a fair rate! Instagram "ford_ranger_wildtrak" for pics vids and details. 😊
Hey can you write down the wheels/alloys you have? i love them!

Aliexpress. I did a few series of videos on that system.

Yeah everything, you keep getting loads of errors incl park pilot too.
Ok thanks for quick reply I hope this is the problem for me cause surely all them faults haven't just happened at once
@@adamturner9792 likely is yeah. Get it plugged in with ForScan
@@DetailingandtheBeast just a quick note, I had all the same errors and ended up being the right wheel speed sensor only, might be worth as you said to plug in forscan first because it might be just that.
Nice work but that air intake on the bumper is no good for water wading
IF you go water wading... which I don't. 😆
Besides that it is actually only a duct so is open ended in the bay. If you have a ranger you will know that the standard airbox has an open ended trumpet in the wing anyway 😉
Love what you did with the truck, your induction kit sparked my interest, could you provide me with details via DM?
