Hi Scott,
Is it possible to add D-rings to the shoulder harness of the Ranger?

The short answer is no...unless you rip apart the sticking, add the d-rings, then re-sew it.
However, if someone had the time and money, anything is possible.

Sigh ok..thanks Scott!
How about adding 1 or 2 to the lower tank band? I always add them to my BC's (Ranger and Scout). It's very easy to do, keeps whatever you clip on out of the way and believe it or not is very easy at access. I keep spare lights, safety sausages and reels on them.

I thought about this for a while last night, and what you COULD do is just have your LDS order you a new shoulder section with the quantity of d-rings you want. That is probably both the easiest, and least expensive way!
Herman is full of good ideas though, so you may want to try out his suggestion!
Thanks!

Just use a split D-ring.

If you can undo the webbing then you can add a D-ring with a belt slide (I get them from Dive Rite), but from what I remember from my old Ranger, I don't think you can actually undo the webbing to slied a D-ring on - it's sown in place.

One would think so but it's actually pretty easy. Put your BC on (with a tank is best) and reach around behind you. I'll bet you can easily feel the lower tank band on a Ranger. I use clips with attachment rings large enough to get my little finger in. I put my little finger through the ring, hold the clip with my lower 3 fingers, use my index finger to locate the Dring and my thumb to operate the clip. Sounds hard but in reality its easier to find than a high shoulder strap D ring. The rear rings also keep items from hanging down all over the place.
