    Question ? Question for a Ranger Dealer...

    I have a 2019 RT 188. I called Ranger Parts and was told they do not make or have a Coin Box / step for a RT188. I see in the brochure they show a fiberglass
    coin box in the rt188. ALSO an owner of a RT178 posted he had the fiberglass coin box in his.
    Is a fiberglass coin box/step available for my RT188? does the RT198 fit in my Rt188 between the seats? If Ranger says they dont carry it, how do I get one?
    ANy help will be appreciated as I would like the fiberglass coin box/step for my RT188.

    Call Johnny Morris and ask the top guy. He might just put one on his private jet and deliver it to your door in a limo.
    Don't bother me, I'm screwing for virginity.

    I killed a 12-pack just to watch it die.
