@Wolfbox asked that I repost this as a stand-alone thread, so I'll start by re-posting my original review: My Wolfbox MF200 arrived in the mail today. First impressions are solid. The packaging is well thought out and appears to provide ample protection, always a bonus with electronics...

I was chatting with my kid when the conversation got around to "unique" paint jobs on cars, and they asked what was the worse I'd ever seen. Without hesitation, I replied this sedan I'd seen in the mid-80's (a Ford LTD Crown Vic or Chevy Impala, IIRC) that was Pepto-Bismol Pink with bright green...

I've gotten a couple of text messages allegedly from the dealership that I use in NC for work that can't wait until I'm back in ON. I say allegedly, because the text area code is 325, which is central Texas, but that could just be the service that they're using. I'm skeptical, though, because...

Happy Halloween, y'all! (I know, it doesn't show up all that well)

Took a road trip this weekend and used my MP3 player, like I usually do. MP3 player has 600+ songs from a whole slew of different artists, but for some reason SYNC this time only decided to recognize 48 songs from 3 of the artists. When I unplug the MP3 player from SYNC, it's playing a song from...

Happy Remembrance Day / Veterans Day

Heads up for all of us in either ON or QC; gas is set to jump by 14 cents/litre (that's roughly 56 cents/gallon for our US brethren) tonight, and it doesn't look to be coming down significantly anytime soon. Anybody know how many 20L jerry cans can fit in the bed of the Ranger? ? Apparently...

Hi all, I realize that this is way off-base, but I posted this problem to Google's "Help Communities" earlier this week and have gotten absolutely nothing; no surprises there. This is by far the most/only helpful forum that I've been a part of, so I'm throwing this out like a Hail Mary in the...

As you may have gathered from some of my posts, I'm heavily involved in Scouts, and have had the pleasure over nearly a decade of sharing this experience with my daughter. I'm posting here today to ask for your support in a fundraiser for our Group. Our Scout Group is running a maple syrup...

Hi all, I'm in the middle of a road trip about 1000 miles from home, and heard a funky clunk sound, and then got the little wrench light that popped up. See attached picture for what the manual says. Anybody have experience with this? I seem to lose power of I try to punch it (i.e. to pass...

The FTC finalized the rule it proposed last year, cracking down on bogus fees. And NADA isn't happy about it. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has finalized its new rule designed to combat nefarious automobile dealerships using shady tactics when selling cars. Called the Combating Auto Retail...

So for the past week, my sister's car has been dying repeatedly on her; it's a 2017, and it was pretty obvious that the battery needed replacing. Fortunately, the first day it happened, and before I got my truck positioned into an angle that's far too small for it so that I'd be able to boost...

I picked up a bunch of badges for my kids to trade at Scouting events, and a portion of them were non-Scouting (as expected). I got a few of these and was wondering if anyone knew the story behind the patch.

High school friend & brother Eagle Scout served with a PsyOps unit in Iraq; when he got out, he created the Mindful Memorial Foundation. Please support him any way that you can. Haven't gotten him in a Ranger yet, but....

I had to use ratchet straps to secure some cargo on top of my tonneau cover on a recent road trip, and they've left these markings on one flank. At first I thought it might just be dust that would come off in the car wash, but that hasn't worked. Any ideas on what will work?

Does anyone know how I can change the default setting in Climate so that the heat to the feet setting stays on whenever the heat is turned on? Either that, or it automatically turns on when I turn on the front defroster? It keeps turning itself off, and in the winter I'd like to leave it on; I...

My wife took the truck out on a Starbucks run yesterday, and managed to clip the wrought-iron fence around their outdoor seating area. There's some minor scratches to the passenger doors, which I can take care of, but somehow she managed to hit the fence in such a way that the passenger-side...

How do you hook up an auxiliary music source? I want to play some of my CDs on road trips, and plugged in the player into the USB, but it doesn't show up as an optional source. I only got AM/FM/XM or the phones. As far as I can tell, loading them to an MP3 player won't even work, and I don't...
