Thank you! That is just the info that I needed. I was worried about what I was going to do after removing the headliner but now I feel good just leaving it out.
1:07 Your headliner looked pristine compared to what our '95 Ranger headliner looks like! IF I even remotely touch it, I'll have a layer of dust on my head, and God forbid I am looking up when I brush it because it will undoubtedly be in my eyes too! I think I'll need to place a tarp down over the seats and dash while simultaneously scrape vacuuming using the wet/dry vac, then get a leaf blower and blow the rest of the dust out before I can even begin removing anything! You've made it look as though it may be something I can handle, so thanks for the video!
Thanks for the great video. Yeah,the bear metal looks awesome. I think I'm going bto borrow this page out of your book of magic. Keep up the great work 👍
Not to be a one upper but I just secured a 2004 Ranger for 450 lol. Clutch had air in the system and the guy just wanted to get rid of it instead of working on it.
very cool. you mean the sound deadening? i’ve seen people break that up using dry ice. it just cracks and comes off easy. haven’t tried it yet tho. very cool on the bed stuff. did you mean bed liner?
@@rayregnogarage yes a black bed line. Just rattle can rustoleum bed liner. And yes the sound dealing I just used a big flat head screw driver it flaked off with minimal effort.
I have a 1999 ford ranger that is my first car. We bought it for $150 because we knew the guy. My dad and I have put 3 1/2 grand into it because it’s has 168 thousand miles on salty Mid west roads and wasn’t taken care of. It had no shock left and is a piece of work. Now we will just put a new alternator in it and a new clutch this winter. (Your truck looks factory new underneath compared to mine.)
That’s awesome! And Ha yes I know I’m spoiled. Don’t need to deal with road salt in southern cal. My father in law who is from Minnesota was giving me a hard time about it the other day. 😂.
KUDOS--useful video! So glad my '99 Sport 4x4 came with the *rubber flooring* NOT carpet. Cleans easily, deadens noise, and still looks great 22 years later. My headliner is fine, EXCEPT the front edge, where using a folding sun-reflector in the windshield has left the thin fabric torn and hanging down. Was going to jury-rig it with some 3M spray adhesive, but after watching your vid, I'm just going to swap it out with a "virginal" one I found on a 2008 in the U-pick salvage yard. Got some of the fancy "2-way" combo sun visors out of an Explorer... will probably wire up the "makeup mirror" lights whilst I have the headliner out. AFAIK, ALL the Rangers, and all the Ranger-based Explorers ('91-2001), and even Sport-Tracs(?) only came in 2 interior/headliner colors--tan and gray--so you've got a great chance of finding a match.
@@MajorCaliber It's pretty nice, but it isn't without its problems. My truck bumps out of 4HI. I think I need to tighten up some bushings or something on the shift linkage
Rad! Glad you found it helpful. I've been checking out 90-94 explorers for a while. I like the Ranger, but the Ex is just more practical for adventures.
dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend lately xD
Awesome job, i' think imma just pull the seats and clean the carpet and re-install seats. But the headliner, I may do like you did. Not sure yet. Thanks!
@@rayregnogarage thank you, ripped the carpet out the same day.. the carpet was naaaaasty.. the job wasn't bad.. truck still leaks but at least i a'int gotta worry about wet carpet and mold.
Does it get hot in the truck all the carpet and headliner work as insulation to keep noise and heat out of the vehicle so I would imagine head transfers easier into the cab I took of the trim of one of my doors and I feel the heat coming from the meat
I didn’t notice too much change in the noise. My truck is straight piped. It’s just loud. Heat...not really. the trans tunnel gets a little warm to the touch I guess, but I never reach down to touch it. I honestly didn’t notice much difference
Ya. My 08 Ranger had rubber floor, too and I liked it. The magnet mounting is cool, but it is also a little annoying when my wife drops her humongous hydroflask in the truck or lets it roll around in the back. haha.
Check out the description for the video. If you’re on your phone just click the title of the video and the description will pop down. All the tools and products I mention in the video are linked there.
Both my 99 and 07 had 60/40 bench from the factory. I’m pretty sure the previous owner of my 95 put in bucket seats from an Explorer. The older generation came with a full bench but I’m not sure what modifications are needed to mount it.
@@filipschuster9396 don’t do it the carpet and headliner are insulation. They keep heat and noise out of the truck. I took off my trim from one door and it gets hot on the door
Do you mean actually doing the cut and turn on a set of beams? That's a bit above my skill level. I AM planning on buying some cut, turn and extended beams. I'll do an install vid on that for sure. Looking at Giant and Solo at the moment.
Yeah, you should do it! From your videos, seems like you got some tools lying around, and you've done some welding right? Common, do it! LOL I was looking at those 2 shops also but staying stock width, but damn$$$$. I'm in WA also, I keep looking for someone selling their old beams and radius arms so I can do the CnT and extend the radius arms for my 94 Sport 5 speed. Just cant find any. Well, good luck. Keep us posted!
Bullshit! You destroyed the shell of that headliner when you pulled it out!! Notice how his video goes right from the trim piece the pulling out the shell? "Just gently massage it out" he says! ...😂😂
It was water damaged already. Truck leaks in the corner. By that point I had already decided I wasn’t gonna put it back in. Do as I say, not as I do. 😂
Mine headliner had water marks, too. I found some rust in the top corner of the cab. Some sealant should help. They make special sealant for windshields and windows.
FINALLY!! a great tutorial for removing the headliner, every other video sucks and nobody shows how to remove it... thank you for this video
The man has made the Ford Ranger a hybrid Jeep I am officially doing this!
These ranger videos saved my life lol 😂 great content man
haha. nice
Thank you! That is just the info that I needed. I was worried about what I was going to do after removing the headliner but now I feel good just leaving it out.
It’s louder in there, but being able to use magnets to mount stuff to the ceiling is really cool.
Thanks, very informative. You got to the point without any excess b.s.
Got a 96 Ranger project truck couple weeks ago and all these videos have helped alot! And my headliner is torn to absolute shit 😂
Congrats!!! Ya, they’re actually pretty easy to remove and reupholster... But I like the bare metal
Thank you very much, you sure provide great help in producing this video; prosper well Ray.

Ooof... My allergies wouldn't let me let my headliner go that far. Mine was bad as it was. Much cleaner in there now.
Glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you! I'm planning to redo my headliner and you've shown me what I neede to know.👍👍👍
Thanks for the great video. Yeah,the bear metal looks awesome. I think I'm going bto borrow this page out of your book of magic. Keep up the great work 👍
This is helpful as I'm planning on putting sound/thermal insulation under the carpet and above the head liners.
nice
I love the videos man I just bought a 2001 ranger for 700$ and it’s awesome looking to get some wheels and tires soon!
nice!!

Helpful thanks!!
Nice tips. Glad to diy my ford ranger this weekend. Thanks bro
have fun!
I pulled the carpet on my 96 4.0 xlt. Same color. I scraped out the wierd green insulation on the floor and did a black bed. I love it

I think you of all people would appreciate my ranger and the work I've done to it.
Thanks never thought about that.

@@rayregnogarage Wish I had your MANUAL transfer case shifter... long ago got tired of the electric shift and pulsed-vacuum hubs.
@@MajorCaliber It's pretty nice, but it isn't without its problems. My truck bumps out of 4HI. I think I need to tighten up some bushings or something on the shift linkage

Great videos man, I have 96' explorer that im using as a daily / overland vehicle. big help

@Pedro Dylan yup, been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D
The “obscurely sized” bolts are 7/32” or 5.5 mm (pick your poison).
Yup that sounds about right!
Thanks, hitting up the salvage yard for one tomorrow. Took my headliner off years ago and couldn’t remember what tools to bring
Thank you for the video! Saved me a lot of time!
Glad you found it helpful!
Rock years, Bucky's!
Thank you for the video bub
Awesome job, i' think imma just pull the seats and clean the carpet and re-install seats. But the headliner, I may do like you did. Not sure yet. Thanks!
Ya we pulled the seats and cleaned the carpet first. Did a video on that, too. But it was still gross. haha
These videos are awesome man, a huge help!
Awesome. Thanks!
sweet, thank you. I also cut out the front of the carpet, now am going to remove the whole thing. Damn leaky Ranger
ya it's nicer without all the carpet. lol. way easier to clean, too. just pull the plug out of the floor and hose it down. lol
@@rayregnogarage thank you, ripped the carpet out the same day.. the carpet was naaaaasty.. the job wasn't bad.. truck still leaks but at least i a'int gotta worry about wet carpet and mold.
@@mluna69 nice!
Probably a 5.5mm socket for some of the trim stuff. Ford loved 5.5mm hex fasteners on the Rangers for no apparent reason ...
Ha that sounds about right. Didn’t have any half metric sizes tho. lol
Nice truck great vid thanks!👍
Thanks!!!

My 2003 Ranger has a rubber floor instead of carpet , no magnet options but beats the hell out of stinky dirty carpet .
Ya. My 08 Ranger had rubber floor, too and I liked it. The magnet mounting is cool, but it is also a little annoying when my wife drops her humongous hydroflask in the truck or lets it roll around in the back. haha.
One piece !!!! 3:18
Won't it be loud when it rains ?
Louder. sure. but it doesn’t bother me
Where do you live? because if i try this it would start raining! LOL
Somewhere it doesn’t rain very often. lol
What are those rims?
American Racing Outlaw 2
What are your magnetic cupholders called? I'm wanting to buy 2 for myself for my truck!

Do you know of any options for a bench seat in this ranger? I have a 97
Both my 99 and 07 had 60/40 bench from the factory. I’m pretty sure the previous owner of my 95 put in bucket seats from an Explorer. The older generation came with a full bench but I’m not sure what modifications are needed to mount it.
I wish I never ripped the carpet out of my 94 4.0 ranger. Way too hot and much louder inside the cab.
Interesting. I didn’t notice much of a difference to be honest. I guess I just like my trucks loud. Lol
In which country do you live? i was planing to do this in my ranger. But after this comment i am not so sure
@@filipschuster9396 USA.
@@rayregnogarage Ok, Thanks for the answer ;D.
@@filipschuster9396 don’t do it the carpet and headliner are insulation. They keep heat and noise out of the truck. I took off my trim from one door and it gets hot on the door
What is the torque bit used for the rails can’t seem to get mine out
For the seat rails? They are 10mm
Any chance were going to get a Cut and Turn video on the D35 TTB? Cant find any kind of video on TH-cam .

@@JB-dl4ul I'm not that brave. I'll build bumpers and shock mounts... but beams is next level.. haha. have tried your local Pull N Save?

You will Regret not putting Headliner back in. Condensation will form on roof and It Will Drip..
False. 3 years later. No regrets. I love being able to mount things to the ceiling with magnets.
No issues with condensation.
Mine leaks somewhere, idk what to do
The back windshield with the sliding window, the headliner has water marks on it from where it leaks
Mine headliner had water marks, too. I found some rust in the top corner of the cab. Some sealant should help. They make special sealant for windshields and windows.
