The fixture that holds the cabin air filter has a housing above it with a gate on it that moves back and forth depending on what setting you have the heating and cooling on. A mouse can bypass the cabin filter housing in that area. The 2 main holes that you need to cover with screen for the air...
Okay I figured this out. The fresh air intake for the cabin is above the filter slot in the cabin wall metal. 2 big holes, you can't really see if you look up behind the glove box. If you pop the 3 plastic retainers on the cowling and separate the passenger side you can see them easily. Shit, 12...
Right there with you guys. I had one in the pillar in the back corner behind the back seats a few weeks ago. Must have been in there for a day or two. Killed it with a trap but it must have been making a nest because a few days later I ended up with a dead critter smell. I pulled all the trim...
If you are going to weld anything connected to the vehicle you should disconnect the negative wire from the battery terminal to ensure you don't fry anything, just to be safe.
I'd say there's a few items missing from the story here. Has the shop ever done something like this before? If the quote called for 3-3.5 hours that's how long they presume it will take to remove the bumper and fiddle around with everything. 145 bucks an hour seems a bit steep but it's not my...
So I knew when I got the RN (that's Ranger from the North from here on out) I wanted to set it up for some offroad adventuring. We travel out west most years and have always pulled our little camper with our Ram 2500 full cab full box. It's a great truck but it's size really limits the places...
I had the same experience as Ruckus. Showed up early and install smoothed out after the first seat was complete. Pretty easy to adjust after the fact as well. You won't regret them. I've had my saddle blanket covers on for almost a year and they are awesome.
Alright I suppose it's time to start one of these Build journals so I can document some of the things I've done to the pickup and some of the things I'd like to do in the future. It's name is Ranger from the North or Aragorn( Lord of the Rings nerd here). I had been driving a 2006 Scion xA since...
We love it! It has a basic kitchen, a big bed that converts to a table in the back and a small table up front that also converts to a bed. We just leave the back area setup as a bed. We only have one kid and 2 dogs so we don't need much room. It used to have a wet bathroom in it but we ripped it...
We finally took Elroy the Burro with the Ranger out for a long weekend to Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri from as far north in Illinois as possible. Elroy is a 1986 17 foot fiberglass camper that is pretty basic on the inside, think it weighs a little over 3000 lbs and does have trailer...
I'll add on to what FoD said. I choose the Icon kit which included rear shocks and front coilovers with new springs as well. I changed the rears on a Monday afternoon after work and waited to do the fronts on a weekend. There are benefits from both. The rears definitely removed the boaty...
Holy o' f*** boys (pardon my AvE'ism). These got dropped by the Fedex guy today. I'm pumped, these things are beefy, can't wait to get them installed this weekend. Only about 4 weeks from my order date as well, I was expecting twice that.
