We are in the fifth warm period between ice ages in the past 450,000 thousand years. In that time it has only been as warm as now about 45,000 years. Each warm period has averaged les than 15,000 years. we are about 15,000 years into the current warm period. If history repeats itself as it usually does...

I am lucky enough to know people because of my Ranger. A buddy works for Mercedes and was able to get me in to his shop for my Long Range America Tank installation.

For how much this tank costs, the install directions should have been much, much better. None of the hoses were labeled like they should have been and you only get 3 pictures to go off. This was actually the hardest part of the installation.

We pumped over the remaining fuel from my OE tank and then headed straight for the gas station. (Ignore the price, I got 50 cents off per gallon)

Showing approximately 800 miles per tank, since I've driven about 70 miles since I filled up.

2022 Ranger Tremor (SOLD 12-14-2023)

RETIRED!
Another night of -24° last night. At least the wind wasn't blowing for a change and the ambient temps and the "feels like" temps were the same. Poor pups can go out and chase the frisbee for about 5 minutes before they start holding their feet up out of the snow.

Currently has warmed up to a decent -10°

I noticed that my Ranger is still sitting on the GMC dealers lot. I guess no one is willing to pay $43,200 for a 22 Tremor with 477 miles on it.

The low mileages might be making people skeptical. I would probably be curious/cautious why such a like-new used, low milage vehicle is on the lot.

Before ordering my 22, I skipped over several 2019 models cause they all had under 8k on them... Just seemed weird people were trading them in so soon.

Great idea and a nice piece of work. Not easy to design and fab that.

But that price...

Hangs sort of low. Will that work off-road ?

The picture showing the tank in the truck is about 2'' lower than it really is. I hadn't tightened up the bolts yet, so it was still hanging down. My ARB skid plates are at about the same height, so I shouldn't see any decrease in overall performance off road.

That is exactly what I paid. I did the preorder, so no tax or shipping. But at that price, the instructions shouldn't be 3 pictures and a video with the TikTok voice over.

To those who have installed your tanks, were the hoses labeled? Mine were not.

Nothing will be done to or with the Ranger for st least 2 days.

it has begun with 4-8 inches expected. This place will be shut down for days ?

East TN is not where you want to drive in these conditions…last time I saw people in ditches everywhere and numerous wrecks. My defensive driving will be staying off the roads! ?

That is what turned me off. I wanted one but, the install instructions and video were not enough to make me comfortable with it.

Now if someone else has done it and can help, but different story.

If you want to get one, and then come out to Colorado for an install party, I bet we could make that work.

But yes, LRA should be absolutely ashamed of their installation instructions. Especially since it says that the hoses will be labeled. If they were labeled, that would have made the install a lot easier. Mine were not labeled. We had to do it through trial and error.
