When I had my first windshield replaced on my Ranger, I gave they parts guy at the dealership the vin number, he called the autoglass place that does their windshield replacements and they installed the wrong windshield. I noticed it because none of the automatic wipers worked or the autosensing...
No joke, but I came back from a two week vacation to three huge moving boxes of wires and cables that looked just like this. It was after the bank I worked at had moved their ops center over Labor day weekend. While I was on vacation, there was no one to sort through all the cabling and get rid...
I use a strap on mirror for my 7ft wide CTC. I do have a problem with meeting trucks on the hwy folding my mirror back. This thread did give me the idea of adding a small bungy tied to my ditch light bracket to keep that from happening. Never worried about the mirror blowing off, its more...
The wife (promoted from GF) and I started looking at trailers a couple years ago. We hated the quality of them, poorly made and most had a bunch of crap we didn't need. When we finally got sick of working and decided to go on a sabbatical from consumerism, we sold the condo and bought a 7x14x7...
I have the medium load, with the heavier shocks OME makes. Works well off road and towing a trailer. Still has a tad bit of rake when not towing the trailer, but level when it is. I have a GFC camper so constant wright of 600- ish pounds when loaded. No complaints with the OME shocks. I blew the...
I just traveled from Washington to Maine towing a 4000 pound 7x14x7 cargo trailer conversion. 10.3 mpg, hand calculated, matched up pretty well with the dash display of 10.2 for the trip. Kept it to 60, 65 the entire trip with tow/haul mode on. That was an expensive trip.
DEF for diesels is made from urea. Other than urine, the primary source for urea is coal. They keep closing coal mines so there is a shortage of urea for DEF to make diesel safer for the environment. One of the ways to clean up the environment is to stop burning coal. No one buys coal, so they...
My wife and I were just talking about gas prices this morning. It's going to cost us over $1000 in gas to drive back to Maine where we can pick up the car that gets 40MPG. I don't want to be stuck in SoCal or Arizona towing a cargo trailer. 11 MPG is a bit low at these prices. Gas prices haven't...
It really depends on how much you move when camping and how much camping you do. When I traveled out here to the Southwest, I took it out of my truck so I could tow my cargo trailer. It was close to the payload limit with it in and with the trailer. It's heavier than I expected, but it's so...
It never has been 61 inches. The bottom of the bed is 61 inches, but with all the ribbing on the tailgate and headboard, the usable length of the bed is 58.5 inches with the tailgate closed. Pullkitchen had to redesign their kitchens for the Ranger. Mine was the first Ranger they built one for...
