2nd or 3rd Gen Ranger Topper

[masimmons25]

Anyone have experience with how well a topper for a 2nd or 3rd gen Ford Ranger (93'-12') will fit?  Anyone have a pic; Combed through the Comanche's with toppers pic thread and didn't see one that said it was a Ranger.

Pulled the trigger on a 6ft topper for a 3rd gen Ranger off craigslist.  Fits better than I expected, way better than the S10 toppers I have seen on Comanches

 

First pic is the topper mounted shortly after picking it up. 

 

The length is about a half inch short at the base/bed rail. The width is almost perfect where it meets the bed but is a little narrower than the back of the cab as you move up the fiberglass. The height is about 3/4in short.  The profile of the top corners is close but obviously does not match the Comanche.

 

The profiles start to match better after adding a 3/4in spacer between the bed and bottom of the topper.  For now the spacer is just a piece of 1x3 trim wood, after this test I plan on making something more weather resistant. The rest of the pics are with the spacer.

 

The angle of the front of the topper that is against the back of the cab is close enough but could easily be made closer with some fiberglass work.

 

Ranger toppers from '93-'12 seem like a good option for SWB trucks.  Some of the newer toppers have more modern looking windows that could complement a 97+ swap better.

 

I'll update after I make a better spacer and modify the area near the gap between the topper and back of bed.

Not bad at all.
