2024 Ford Ranger Community Car (Truck) Build Event Schedule

 
Event #1 – Maintenance & Mods – Wednesday, August 28th @ 7pm

Maintenance is a must! So lets freshen up the engine with new oil and a filter. Next we’ll drain out the ATF for some new fluid and lastly we’ll unlock some power and sound with a better air intake and a new performance muffler!

Event #2 – Body Modifications – Wednesday, September 18th @ 7pm

Time for new fenders, some flares and the new wheel setup to be bolted on! This is when the overall look really starts to come together!

Event #3 – Lift Kit! – Wednesday, October 16th @ 7pm

Who doesn’t like a lifted truck? Let’s bring the front up a bit, while also raising the rear end. This should allow for optimal off-road and snow clearance.

Event #4 – Exterior Wrap Up! – Wednesday, October 23rd @ 7pm

Let’s finish the exterior upgrades with new front fenders, the flares, and VERY cool front bumper install. We’ll then stand back and do a full reveal of the headlight upgrade.

Event #5- Audio Upgrades – Wednesday, November 6 @ 7pm

We’ll finish off the build with audio upgrades. A new head unit with phone capability and a sub/amp/box setup should do nicely whether you’re on the trail or commuting through the snow.

Scavenger Hunt – Sunday, November 17!

Its time for another Scavenger Hunt! First person to find the keys, keeps the truck! Like last year, the first Clue will be sent out via email to everyone who signed up at 9am on the day of the hunt. From that point, the hunt is on! And don’t kid yourself, this isn’t going to be easy. You should be prepared for a VERY fun day around NEO. Bring your thinking cap because these clues will make you work for it. Be sure to sign up by clicking here. $25 could put this truck in your driveway!
