In my area, there are two radio shops. One is Motorola and the other an independent, but they both charge about $85 per hour shop time. Any reputable shop should be able to do this in two hours or less. Plus the cost of cables and antennas (unless you supply, which I would recommend).

Lots of great ideas here. Just started mounting radios and lights this week and looking for a place to mount a (somewhat) heavy Motorola microphone. Might try that vent mount. It seems that a lot of folks are adverse to drilling antenna holes into their vehicle. Generally, I get that. Not...

Phil, all great stories and certainly add to the Ford legend. Even today, your efforts are still widely felt and appreciated. Thanks for having been there, for the stories, and for being part of Ranger5g. Your contributions here are both informative and interesting. It is certainly an honor...

FWIW, I bought a handful of LED bulbs from Diode Dynamics during its 4th of July sale and also went on to Amazon and bought LED mirror puddle lights for my '19 Lariat. Did a 30 minute swap out on all non-LED lights except the front turn signals. License plate lights are halogen and I, like...

Mobile Mike, what lift do you have on this and what size tires?

No worries. Didn't take it badly. I certainly understand that the fuel mileage issue for the most part is a non-issue (particularly on the Jeep Forum), but I'm one of those curious guys that likes to see and try different things, hence why I went with the TOYOs this time around...

Just always curious how tires and mileage are inter-related and I like data. I have three Jeeps; I don’t think fuel mileage is my highest priority.

How does that compare to the factory rubber that came with the truck?

Nice looking tire; nice looking truck. Let us know how they ride and gas mileage issues after you put a few miles on them. Thanks

Good point, but he wasn't selling me anything because he could not get the TOYOs at the time. I've done business with this shop for years and never had the hard sell from them. In fact, I like my Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my JKU, but interesting enough, reading reviews of people who have now...

Unfortunately, far too few miles to evaluate and no adverse conditions to drive on, not even rain yet. Going down the road no real complaints, but I thought they were a little on the stiff side when new. They are “P” rated tires, so didn’t expect them to be as stiff as they first seemed. Have...

Thanks, CharChar. FWIW, I was going to buy Ridge Grappler’s for the wife’s new Wrangler, but my tire guy talked me out of them (he said he got complaints over the winter about their lack of ice and snow bona fides, although I never had an issue on my ‘16 JKU). So I now have five (5) TOYO Open...

Interesting. How much “noiser” is it than your factory original tires? It is obnoxious? Will my wife likely complain? LOL. Thanks

Won’t even try to guess what Ford will do with the new Bronco and the new Bronco Sport in terms of introduction, production, or pricing. Originally, the full-size Bronco was to be introduced in spring 2020 (and still may be), Job 1 on December 1st, then in dealer showrooms by February or March...

Just in the process of buying a new 2019 Jeep JLU MOAB for my wife from a West Coast dealer. MSRP is $53,300 (with factory freight). The vehicle has been discounted in excess of $10,500 ($6200+ from FCA and $4300 from the dealership), and others on the lot, including Gladiators, are discounted...

Having modified a number of Jeeps, and as indicated, weight is a huge item for vehicles (pun intended). That 41 vs 48 pounds means seven more pounds per wheel/tire combination, so 14 pounds per axle and 28 pounds overall. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but that’s rolling weight at the corners and...

Thanks for the pics. They look good and fill the wheel wells up nicely. Will be real interested to hear back from you after you put a few highway and off-road miles on. Love the Lightning Blue...

From Ford Authority (link at bottom) Ford Motor Company is offering a few attractive Ford Ranger discount offers in April, with the most noteworthy being $4,000 off select models. The deal is rather generous compared to incentives offered earlier in the 2020 calendar year, such as the combined...

Please do and take a few pics if you would, also. Will be real interested on what you think of them. Thanks.

Good Day All! I’m relatively new, although I have already made a couple of posts. Bought a 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat (Lightning Blue) in December, but hardly driven it due to work and other considerations. It replaced my 2011 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab mainly because I wanted more safety options...
