I was hoping for more than one style or the picture below more than others (for a single cab), but the numbers may not be there.
This is the one I was interested in, will any other styles be made once the prototype has been approved by the Ranger Community or I'm I grabbing at straws again ?
The design plan was for a Single Cab only at this point because by the numbers it is the Ford Ranger Variant most ignored by the industry..
Unfortunately the version you showed an image of is made by another manufacture that is been around for the better part of 33 years making such Rock-Sliders specifically. They ran their own numbers, looked at ours and crunched them and came out to the determination that its probably not the time to serve the Ranger community because the time for the vehicles in question are limited to N. America and in such taking into consideration the amount of traffic generated in the aftermarket world concerning 93+ Ford Rangers. The market support just isn't there unlike many much older vehicles like Land Cruisers, Toyota's, Land Rovers, even other Fords. This isn't the first time they have had to face this decision for 3rd - 5th gen Ford Rangers.
They denied a proposal to manufacture for us.
Really didn't expect the other Slider to be made for one vehicle but considering what I have read about these you are offering for the single cab Rangers I won't be buying a set.
I have a local fab shop that makes Extra-Heavy-Duty Sliders for around the $600 mark, with easy modification to fit the Ranger single cab... wheel well to wheel well; I guess I'm back to them.
Thanks for your time and effort.
Later,
