BUILDING A DECK

[supplyguy]

Anyone ever built a deck extension for a Ranger or know anyone that does it. I need one for a 95 487vs.

Thanks

It's not a Ranger, but I built on for my Stratos to fill the void between the front deck and console. I used 1x2 inch strips mounted around the inside to make a "ledge" for the removable plywood panel that is the extension. I got two pieces of "project" wood (2x4 ft from Home Depot) in 3/4in and 1/4in and glued them together to make it 1in thick. I used a large piece of cardboard to make a template before actually cutting the extension to the exact shape. Once the final trimming was done I glued carpeting to the extension and set it in. It made fishing much easier and it's removable so I can take it out whenever the kids want to go tubing. You can see part of it in the picture of the UB decal in my gallery.

I may try that thanks.

call the Ranger factory and they will be glad to sell you one.  I have a 95 Ranger that didn't have one when I bought it and I called them and they sold me one for about 200.
