That's brilliant to add the eye nuts to the roof track fasteners. I've thought if I had a high rise canopy I'd maybe suspend a cargo net to create a "loft" or whatever they call it. Now I know to pick up the roof rack mounts. ? Nice to see a well thought out and executed set up. Low key and...

Agree, it's a good looking truck. And those stripes are growing on me ! Is that the trend now for pillar lights ? Is there a down side, like back-refection in dusty or foggy conditions ?

Also not to answer the question. That was always my understanding; for the infamous bull dust in Oz. Not sure what folks use a snorkel for over her but I do usually carry a spare air filter in case of too much dusty driving !

That's ridiculous. It's not a celebration, it's a sign of respect and remembrance. The reason given by the grocery chain here (which was this year btw) was that their work dress code didn't allow for "supporting a cause". WTH ! I have family members who have served and I can't honour them ...

Indeed. In my country Nov 11 is Remembrance Day. Public attendance at these ceremonies, incl the Act of Remembrance, were at an all time low in the late 70's, and 80's - perhaps at a time when it would have meant the most to the many war vets still around then. Since then numbers have increased...

Would be good if they load test the battery - at least once. I'm glad you mentioned resting voltage in your OP. That's important but is undefined. Ideally instructions for resting and using voltage for soc would come from the specific battery mfr. Consistency in measuring conditions would be...

Quite right. My bad, I wasn't thinking of CAFE stds.

I'd say yes to LTs for off highway. But maybe in a C load rating to reduce a bit of weight and sidewall stiffness.

Tend to agree, despite often hearing oem parts being bad mouthed. Then there's mfr replacement parts vs oem production parts. For eg, I think many have had their first set of brake pads last longer than the dealer supplied replacements. There was a guy on another board very knowledgeable about...

Would there be sufficient demand in the US ?? My take away from the fullsize forums is that modern diesels are anathema in light truck, personal use applications. Due to initial upgrade expense, complexity, potential repair costs and, perhaps most importantly, the higher pump price for fuel...

Hey, I just happen to have this Ranger doc open so I'll link it. See page 23 https://madocumentupload.marketingassociates.com/api/Document/GetFile?v1=5528367&v2=090220114410&v3=60&v4=d110be1ad9bca8a6bdef6abfe59f374bccccc140bb8be7bd798e8468&v5=False There might be a few grommets thru the floor...

She's lookin good Duke ! And good deal on the tip for Action Truck and autoeq. , I've bookmarked for the future. Cheers, Ali

Interesting to see a Motorcraft battery mentioned as replacement, you don't often read that in battery threads. The oems in my Superduty diesel lasted 10 years, so I replaced them with Motorcrafts. The oem on my '98 Escort (which I still have) lasted 13 or 14 years. It was still good but was...

Guys, quick question. When you're talking about turning the steering wheel lock to lock, what limits the range of movement. Is there an adjustable stop similar to this image (random example pulled off the web) or just a cast knob on the knuckle/spindle ? Asking because I think the coming...

Our little Piranha ...

Good catch. I have replaced pic. It's not the 4x4 but it is from a Ranger. Thanks for your numbers.

That surprises me that they couldn't reprogram for the optional size 265/65R17 which s/b ~660 rev per mile vs the ~650 for your new tires (previous 255/65R17 is ~671). And maybe check for TSBs while they're at it. Your only about 3-4% change now old vs new size so I wouldn't have thought you'd...

Re: for a SuperCrew 4x4 with 17" rims Looks like the max rear axle weight rating is 3370# for the above configuration and I'd like to get this. Just wondering if the oem tire size makes a difference to the rear axle weight rating from Ford. The choices I'm looking at are 255/65R17 and...

Understood. I think the Trail Control is the low speed cruise ? which I prob wouldn't miss. Still percolating minimum and building vs Tremor. Plus dealing with the wife wants a Bronco Sport ... ON EDIT yeah, I know Tremor won't be a lift, not like your OME :wink:. Still percolating it all ...

Yes, thank you, Frenchy. I had been pricing out a poor man's FX4 and the fuel skid was an unknown to me. If the replacement is metal that could be a wash. Or even the type of polymer could be superior - and keep the weight down. On the evap can, that's interesting. I had assumed bigger tank =...
