Went up to Pueblo, Colorado this week to get the new cap. It went well enough & took the amount of time expected (just over an hour to get things done on installation). Paint match was fine, fit & finish are good as well. They used a ledge to cover the top of the tailgate, it closes properly...

Anyone know of an after-market part which is better? I would prefer something a bit more solid than this mickey mouse part on my driver's side door.

After 1800 miles, this 1/2 tank so far is running from Colorado Springs (some in town driving, was 89 octane at Costco yesterday) then back to Raton. According to the dash, it's 25.9 mpg average. Highest was 27 mpg, but ended up with head winds & altitude gains, so it dropped a bit. This was...

On one of the previous posts I saw the "Shell Rotella" mentioned. My advice is don't do it! Look it up on this site to see what you're doing inside the motor. Here's a pretty comprehensive list of motor oils, test data & observations by a guy who tests oil with real-world experience &...

"The service manage at my dealership claims that the stutters in acceleration stem from poor programming in the transmission shift strategy. He says the overdrive continually engages and disengages in its search for the most economical spot." This is certainly possible. I'd be interested to...

Haven't played around with tire pressures yet, but I'm wondering about wheel base & the ride "feel" on the Ranger. After looking at the different models of Ford, Chevy/GMC, Toyota & Nissan, it seems the Ranger has the shortest wheel base of the bunch. Granted, an inch or two isn't much (1%...

Look in suspension / chassis thread for front end stuff & mods. Plenty to see there & lots of pictures & info.

Parked next to the garage/shop, but a new carport is going over it soon. Had a blade come in & cut the dirt level for site work, then spread some gravel to keep the mud out of the area. Should be fine for a simple covered 2-bay parking area, 24'X26'. It's just going to be a sheet metal roof with...

Probably the strongest attachment point at the top, would be to mount a tie-down inside the top rail, in the "upside down" position. Tried to find a sectional view of the top bed area, but didn't see any pictures online. The top of the bed is formed steel, with the inside being the bed sides &...

Decided to get the Leer 100r for the XLT. Had one on the old Nissan & it was pretty good, held up well enough for 10+ years. I figure it should help settle the ride a bit & may drop the back end just a tad. I had to use a 5 1/4" drop hitch for the Ranger, since it sits up so much higher than the...

Anyone tried the Cover King seat covers? Not big on the "tactical" stuff, but like the idea of a first aid kit being handy & other Molle stuff I already have on hand...

On the 2nd tank now, running a combined city & highway at about 21 mpg. Air conditioner is still being used here, it's still warm out but we should get a bump later this month, when it cools down a bit. This is running at 6,500' elevation here in Raton, I suspect at lower elevations it may be...

As far as I know, it's a true story. The owner didn't say why they sold the truck, only that her husband didn't "need" it anymore, so I'm thinking it might actually be a real story with some truth to it. I didn't want to ask her, figured it would be pretty rude, so I just acted stupid about it...

Follow-up on my post from earlier this week (#11 in this thread). I tracked down the original owner yesterday & called to ask about the key code, as it was missing when I looked through all of the stuff in the owners manual package. She said it's the Ingot Silver XLT 4X4 with a 302A package...

2007 Nissan Frontier, good truck, not good towing in the mountains.

Not sure about the link. It doesn't give the window msrp info, just a circular link to myself without the sticker. Must be doing it wrong.

Just bought a "used" (with 412 miles) XLT, 4X4, Crew Cab, Tow package, Silver paint, 8" sync-screen (nav system), power seats, carpet etc, the deep foot liners, co-pilot 360 with the lane assist, adaptive cruise, bed liner, 17" black spoke alloy rims, running boards, perimeter alarm system, but...

"New Member" in waiting for now. I sold my Nissan Frontier (2007 XE 4 cylinder 2.5L) to get a 2019 Ranger, but I'm having to wait to get the one I want. Just looking at the plain vanilla XL with a tow package, 101A options & 4X4 since we live in northern New Mexico now (a little snow in winter...

We have a 100 watt solar panel & group 27 AGM to power the teardrop trailer, lighting, galley stuff, entertainment (TV, sound bar, Blu Ray, stereo) & the alarm system. It's all wired through a PD4045 panel in the galley, for both the 110v shore power & the 12v systems. Tamper switch is under...
