  1. Global multi leaf rear spring, anybody know spring design?

    From what we found capacity should not be effected as the ROW Rangers are rated slightly higher than ours. My truck still has just the slightest bit of rake with 250lbs of dogs back there. Almost level though. And that's with 2" of front lift. They're virtually new. Being sold by an...
  2. Talk me out of a hotrod truck

    That's a good looking truck. That's one of the things I love about my Chevy. While the look is staying "original" I don't have to worry about keeping original parts. As things break I can upgrade/repair as I go. Was talking with an an Subaru buddy the other day I used to do SCCA Solo with...
  3. Talk me out of a hotrod truck

    Heard an exhaust leak last night. Passenger side header lost it's bolts. Off to get some new hardware, quick repair then under the truck to inspect other exhaust hardware.
  4. Talk me out of a hotrod truck

    Kasper, the white '49, was special like that. My great grandmother purchased it new from the dealership. Grandma, dad, sis, and I all learned how to drive in it. My dad did the resto in the early '80s just after he sobered up. It was sold to 3rd cousins in the Chicagoland area in the 90's...
  5. Talk me out of a hotrod truck

    I asked my step mother if she could find pictures of my Dad's truck back when I was trying to convince the old lady to let me buy Spookie. She finally came through with a few pics of Kasper and a few other old rides. Kasper, a 1949 Ford mostly original restoration. Flathead V8, 3 on the tree...
  6. I’m thinking of a 6 speed manual. Thoughts?

    Is that so surprising? The last Ford/Getrag manual was pretty stinky too.
  7. Where’s your dog?

    Not that surprising. I'm a middle aged dude who generally keeps a low profile in public. Put a friendly pooch nearby and I turn into a talkative toddler. He's part German Shepard.
  8. Smoke is in the air.

    Generally we get it at least a couple weeks a year here on the Front Range of Colorado. Some years a couple of months. Hope it moves out soon for you.
  9. I’m thinking of a 6 speed manual. Thoughts?

    I'd get a different vehicle to scratch that itch, while keeping the Ranger.
  10. Taillight melted

    @airline tech has found that the BLISS modules can be programmed via ForScan. Changing the tailight and module should be rather strait forward.
  11. Taillight melted

    And when that happens they often take other things out with them. And when those things aren't addressed they usually end up burning up the expensive parts you just replaced. Granted the BMS is FET protected. But my years of experience troubleshooting TelCo equipment from a systems level to a...
  12. Animal Encounters...who won?

    No pics but my most recent kills have been pheasants. There's a bird hunting sanctuary I pass by on my way to work. My old FiST ate 'em up. Crest the hill and the damn birds would be standing in the middle of the road. Decimated the poor little things. Both times I looked for vittles bit...
  13. Taillight melted

    I'd be real weary of just replacing parts without checking everything out. The electronics in these trucks are highly integrated. A short in any number of BMS circuits could've caused it.
  14. Taillight melted

    Nothing tied into wiring like extra reverse lights?
  15. Taillight melted

    Biggest deciding factor. If it's factory use your warranty. Blindly swapping burnt up electronics usually doesn't end well. If it's not. Undo what you did and repair yourself.
  16. Global multi leaf rear spring, anybody know spring design?

    I'm not sure which one Fitz expiremented with. Most of us wanted or were good with the slight lift, I'd PM Fitz for details on lowering from Tremor height and/or maintaining FX-4 height.
  17. A few better known off road jaunts in Colorado

    Yep, it's free also!
