BODYLINE J-BRACE for NEXT GEN RANGER 2022+
This J-BRACE is recommended when fitting a canopy to any Next Gen (RA) Ford Ranger.
It is a requirement by Ford Australia that all Rangers (2022 onward) fitted with any canopy, must have the 'load box reinforcement bracket' (J-BRACE) system installed.
These brackets brace the tray floor to the tray wall. We strongly recommend that the J-BRACE is used when installing a canopy to a Next-Gen Ford Ranger as per Ford Motor Company's requirements.
Due to this requirement we have developed a factory spec J-BRACE bracket and can install or supply with any canopy sold by Bodyline Automotive.
This J-BRACE bracket system is exactly the same as the Ford system.
The Bodyline J-BRACE will fit on any Next Gen RA Ranger (except Raptor) and can be used with any canopy model or roller cover model on the market.
Why is a "J-Brace" necessary for the Next-Gen Ford Ranger Tub?
The purpose of the J-Brace, also referred to as Load Box Reinforcement Brackets, is to furnish additional support for securely attaching accessories to the Tub. These accessories encompass canopies and hard lids.
Ford mandates that any 2022 or later Next-Gen Ford Ranger equipped with accessories protruding above the Tub and exceeding a weight of 45kg must incorporate Tub reinforcement brackets, namely the J-Brace.
