  1. How do my spark plugs look?

    They look pretty good. Questions: What are the gaps and are they consistent for each plug? What gas brand and octane do you use? What is your average mileage? Are your trips mostly stop-n-go or freeway? How long did it take you to put on 47 K? You drive it year-round in MI? Thanks!
  2. off road jacks, jacking points?

    I bought a kit from these guys: https://safejacks.com/collections/ Bottle and attachments store in a .50 cal can. Added a stabilizer plate. My truck's not lifted but Safejacks does make special gear for hi-lift.
  3. What rock sliders do you have? Lets see them!

    Rocky Road Outfitters. Same as Todd's. Welded to the frame. No squeaks, no rattles. Precise fit.
  4. Door locks not working

    I'll check that out. Dropping from 13.0 to 12.6 in 2 hours with (what should be anyway) minimum parasitic draw is a concern. MSO vet, eh? Wooden ships and Iron men!
  5. Anderson Powerpole in Back Seat

    To keep HAM/GMRS radios and other, non-permanent, electrically-powered gear protected I mounted a Rigrunner fuse block under the driver’s seat. I fabricated a small tray to mount the fuse block and used the seat-rail cover mount point to attach the tray. First, I had to upgrade the power supply...
  6. Door locks not working

    December 2023. Nancy Drew and the Case of the Ludicrous Locks. So, I had an event the other day. After accidently engaging the panic alarm on the fob, I madly pressed every key on the fob multiple times trying to shut off the horn and lights. (I somehow missed simply pressing the red-painted...
  7. Ham/GMRS Mobile Radio Installation Location

    To keep HAM/GMRS radios and other, non-permanent, electrically-powered gear protected I mounted a Rigrunner fuse block under the driver’s seat. I fabricated a small tray to mount the fuse block and used the seat-rail cover mount point to attach the tray. First, I had to upgrade the power supply...
  8. Anyone mount an Ham Radio antenna on the bed ot the truck?

    You didn’t mention what kind of cover you have. If metal, take a look at my installation. I mounted a Comet RS-720 directly to a stationary portion of the cover. The cover is the ground plane. I have two of these mounts now; one on the passenger side to support a Diamond 8900 for UHF/VHF, one on...
  9. Rocky Road Outfitters-Rock Rails

    Sorry I'm late to the game here... missed your post. I had mine welded on. See results here: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/rock-sliders-for-your-ranger.15333/page-3#post-337017
  10. Who else has abandoned their sports car?

    A 2004 Cadillac CTS-V (# 25 in the registry, 2nd delivered in CA.) with a tricked-out Ground Control suspension. It was 16 y.o. We had fun together. All good things... Ciao bella!
  11. Getting Better & Better!

    I-17, Williams to Mesa, AZ (admittedly downhill, 6,000 to 1,000 ft ele.). With Cruise Control on, picture taking is a snap, making a sandwich is the challenge.
  12. Weld on rock sliders

    I went with welded on Rocky Road Outfitters. https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/rock-sliders-for-your-ranger.15333/page-3#post-337017 Been through two, regular services by the dealership since and no comments. I think it would be extremely rare for a frame-related recall and the Rocky's are...
  13. Trouble adding gas from gas can to my Ranger

    Please see my post https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/a-word-of-caution-on-fueling-nozzles.16756/ If you get any type of can with the C.A.R.B. compliant nozzle, you run the risk of damaging the fill pipe. (See text and pictures in post.)
  14. Which dashcam are you using?

    I have the Vantrue N4. https://www.vantrue.net/Goods/detail/gid/73.html Lots of features. Front, inside and rear facing cameras. Inside and rear can be turned off independently. Inside is wide-angle and can capture driver and passenger window images and conversations for those encounters with...
  15. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Installed a Vantrue N4 3-camera dash cam, which was pretty straight-forward. Wiring for the front/cabin cam tucks easily into headliner and was run down the driver’s A-pillar to the fuse box. Rear cam wire tucks into headliner, then down driver’s C-pillar, under the front and rear door threshold...
  16. Passenger Compartment Fuses

    Thank you for posting this. I just went through the same exercise for a dashcam install. Should'a looked here first!
  17. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    See my April 10 post in Racks, Carriers, Toppers, Cargo, Bed Mods for how I routed coax from bed-cover mount into cab via cab-vent behind rear set.
  18. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    See my May 3 post in Electronics, SYNC, Audio, Nav, Phone, FORScan, CB / Radios for power routing.
  19. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Installed a Lido Radio LM-300-1001 Seat Bolt Mount With Microphone Hanger for my Yaesu FT-8900. The radio body is mounted low on the side of the console cover. At 22", this mount gets the detachable face plate and mic to a better operational level. The plastic cover that hides the seat mount...
  20. Rock Sliders for your Ranger

    I ordered them 07/29. They told me 16 weeks at that time. They arrived on 11/02, so that's about 14 weeks.
