What did you do to your Ranger today?

[LawnMM]

If you do any amount of off-roading the l bracket that holds cap will shear. Just a heads up. If it’s mostly driven on streets I don’t think you’ll have an issue.

Good to know, is it the hardware that fails or the bracket itself? It's just a Z shape bracket I'm sure I could come up with something a little sturdier if the bracket itself is failing. If it's the hardware perhaps a higher grade is in order.

Just the z bracket. It breaks at the bend

Must be shit heat treatment or something. I went back and looked at it after your post. Gotta be 1/8th inch thick aluminum. I'll have to buy a piece of steel bracket and bend it to shape if they're prone to breaking.

Lame. ?

Yea mine broke fairly quick with light off-road. The hose ended up in the fan belt. I’d recommend you zip tie the hoses to a ridged point also.

I was thinking about some shock cord or something up around another engine cover stud, then if it did break it would be held in place by the cord.

I don't think I've got enough slack hose to wind up in the belt, or even the fan...

BUT... I sure wouldn't want that heavy can trying to flop around by the belt or the cooling fan ?

Yea. It’s same that is on wild track and bronco raptor with different inner and outer tie rods. It’s better geared for the stress of off-road and large tires. The less stressed a part works the longer it will live.

Will you need to change steering resistance in FORScan?

I'm just curious since my shoulders are crap and I'm trying to understand what I can do to ease steering (LOL, my only solution, that I can grasp—no pun intended—has been a Brody knob).

I spoke with the company that builds full billet hoss 3.0 racks and how they get them to work with the lower base models. The answer the owner told me was all they do is copy and paste as built data for that particular module. The base model broncos have same racks as we do difference in part number is the tie rods.

Visited nearby dealer for The WORKS !! Noticed we have three fasteners missing from the fender liner. Not sure which dealer left them out. Should not have to double-check everything.
