Upgrade your Ford Ranger with premium bull bars, roof racks, and Next-Gen accessories engineered for performance, style, and Australian conditions.
The rugged versatility of the Ford Ranger has made it a formidable choice for Australian adventurers, tradies and daily drivers alike. But when you’re serious about performance, protection and storage, staying factory-stock just doesn’t cut it. That’s where specialist upgrades come in, think a purpose-built Ford Ranger bull bar, high-capacity Ford Ranger roof rack, intelligently designed tub rack base, and a full suite of Next Gen Ranger accessories to match your lifestyle. At Custom Outfitters, we’ve pulled together the best of the aftermarket world, featuring leading brands like the Hamer and Rhino, and made them work seamlessly for one of Australia’s favourite Utes.
Here’s your deep dive into why these upgrades matter, and how to pick what’s right for you.
When you’re heading off the beaten track, into rural terrain or simply want added front-end confidence on the highway, the Ford Ranger front bar comes into its own. At Custom Outfitters we offer a variety of bull bars tailored for the Ranger—from older PX1/PX2 models to the newest Next Gen chassis—so you get protection, style and compatibility.
Impact protection: A good bull bar absorbs and deflects impacts from debris, animals, branches and off-road hazards—keeping the front of your Ranger safe and intact.
Functional upgrades: Many of the bull bars we stock integrate winch mounts, LED light-bar brackets and antenna mounts—so your ute becomes a versatile platform.
Aggressive styling: There’s no denying a properly fitted bull bar transforms your Ranger’s look—giving it a tougher, more purposeful stance.
Compatibility & compliance: All of our Ranger-specific bull bars meet ADR safety standards and are designed to work with factory Tech Packs, sensors and radar systems.
At Custom Outfitters you’ll find bull bars for every model and budget—from full-featured low-loop front bars for the Next Gen Ranger, through to classic steel bull bars for earlier models. Brands include Hamer, Rhino, Offroad Animal and more.
Ensure your bull bar is compatible with your Ranger’s variant (Wildtrak, Raptor, XL, etc) and model year.
Think about the additional gear you want to mount—lights, winch, antennas—and select a bar with mounting capability.
Professional installation is highly recommended: correct alignment and sensor integration matter for both safety and warranty.
Once your front-end is protected, the next frontier of upgrade is storage and utility. The Ford Ranger roof rack and tub rack base setups open up a world of possibilities for tradies, weekend warriors and touring families alike.
The selection of roof racks at Custom Outfitters covers all Ranger models—including the latest Next Gen range—with premium options from trusted brands.
Build quality: Made from aluminium or steel to partner the tough Aussie environment.
Versatility: Carry kayaks, surfboards, roof-top tents, ladders—whatever your load, the roof rack makes it possible.
Fitment: Tailored to your Ranger’s roof design so that the rack sits flush, doesn’t compromise the vehicle’s structure and maintains great load-bearing behaviour.
Just as valuable is the tub rack base—essentially a framework mounted over your Ranger’s tray or tub to support heavy load systems, rooftop tents from the back of the ute, and side-mounted storage options. When combined with roof racks or additional cages, you get a true overlander’s setup.
Maximise space without crowding the cab—keep your interior clear for passengers or tools.
Improve utility: for tradies, this means ladders and gear; for outdoor enthusiasts, this means rooftop tents, shovels, jerry cans and more.
Enhance vehicle resale and capability: a well-specified storage system adds real value to your Ranger.
Check your Ranger’s roof load limit (static & dynamic) to ensure you don’t exceed manufacturer limits.
Consider whether you need full-platform racks or cross-bar style, depending on what you carry.
Tub rack bases should integrate well with your canopy or bin setup—consider weight, access and mounting points.
Think ahead: build out your system so you can add lighting, awnings and slide trays later, rather than starting small and being limited.
If you drive the newest Ranger or plan to upgrade, you’ll want accessories that match modern chassis and tech. Our range of Next Gen Ranger accessories includes everything from adjustable suspension, side protection rails, underbody armour, snorkels, upgraded lighting and more. At Custom Outfitters, we stock these alongside bull bars and roof/tub racks so you can build a complete, cohesive rig.
By choosing components specifically designed for the Next Gen Ranger, you ensure fitment is seamless, look is integrated and performance is optimised. Whether you’re outright off-road, over-landing in style or kitted out for trade work, matching your accessories to your rig matters.
Don’t forget aesthetics. While form follows function in our world, your Ranger’s front face can make a strong visual statement too. From full bull bars to performance grilles, the Ford Ranger grille upgrades available at Custom Outfitters let you customise your ute with style. A new grille doesn’t just look good—it can remodel airflow, compliment lighting and give your vehicle a fresh aggressive front-end.

Before you buy, keep this in mind:
Vehicle variant & year: Ensure any bull bar, roof rack or accessory fits your specific Ranger (PX1, PX2, Next Gen etc).
Purpose & use-case: Are you touring, off-roading, tradie-working or a bit of everything? Choose components accordingly.
Load & compatibility: Roof racks must respect roof load limits. Bull bars must work with sensors, radars and airbag modules.
Future-proofing: Start with foundational upgrades (bull bar + roof rack) and leave room for add-ons (lighting, slide trays, awnings).
Installation & warranty: Professional installation and compatible parts will safeguard your investment and ensure safety compliance.
Imagine this: You roll into the showroom at Custom Outfitters in your Ford Ranger. You’ve eyed a Hamer bull bar that offers winch mount and LED light bar compatibility. You pick a Next Gen Ranger roof rack system that gives you serious tray-to-roof storage for your weekend kit. You add a tub rack base to support your rooftop tent and jerry-cans. Combine with styling upgrades like a new front grille, and your Ranger is no longer just a ute, it’s a purpose-built vehicle ready for work, play and everything in between.
It’s not just about buying individual parts; it’s about assembling a vehicle package that reflects the way you use your Ranger, the terrain you face and the look you want.
