My wife and I went today to borrow a U-Haul trailer for the second time since we bought the truck. We did this once before and I don’t remember whether the lights worked. The person checking may not have checked well. This time the rear left trailer signal doesn’t work and we traced it back to...

We finally got around to putting together a matching 5th wheel and the forum had been quite helpful in answering my questions. As there was still some uncertainty out there and the TPMS 42 OEM sensor is currently out of stock, I figured i would post up so others might benefit from my process...

We finally got around to fitting a matching fifth/spare wheel and our fifth tire (duratrack, purchased as a five wheel Set) entered the rotation with almost 10k miles on it. The tread blocks are almost 1/8” taller on the “new” tire. I’ve certainly read plenty of warnings about running tires of...

I finally got around to working on finding a matching fifth 17" aluminum stock wheel for our truck. I want to be able to include our 5th matching tire in the rotation and have a full size highway-ready spare. However, I am now wondering if there is going to be an issue mounting it in the bay. I...

can anyone point me in the direction of a detailed written description aimed at car newbies for how to replace the alternator? maybe i am missing a post? i found one video on youtube that is a little vague and is missing a lot of video. it suggests that you can get the alternator in and out...

my wife would really like driver and passenger mirrors on the visors. we have the XL package which has no mirror. i hate the clip-on ones she put on becuase they stick out, they are ugly, and i scrape my head on the metal clips that hold them in place once in a while. i dont mind putting a...

my wife and i will be in the middle of nowhere for a year, where mudding is pretty much the only offroad game. ive browsed with some interest the intermittent "my alternator died after i went mudding" threads. it seems like there is something there. it makes sense. but then- people who use this...

Given how many people are changing tires, and the ease of just putting "mm circumference" in forscan to fix speedo error, I was surprised about how every thread I read seemed to suggest there was a lot of trial and error in getting the circumference right to actually match GPS speeds. I...

This isn't really a build thread, in the typical sense. We have a stock truck, and it looks 100% generic on the surface. But over the last six months our 2019 XL supercab has matured into a fully functional offroad/overland rig, best suited for folks like us who 1) also use it as a daily...

inspired by a similar thread i planned to replace one of the two dash cigarette lighter powerpoints with an aftermarket voltmeter / USB 3.0 x2 option. for a similar thread that maintains factory harness go here: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/12v-to-usb-swap-with-pics.3368/#post-183720...

last weekend my wife and i went to moab and did fins 'n things between hikes and offroad camping, which was super fun and a really unique trail for us. it definitely stretched the capacity of our truck (stock plus 32" tires) and my offroad capabilities. put some new scars on the undercarriage...

My wife and I spend a fair bit of time hunting for isolated camping offroad, and when we have the crazy idea to go on classic offroad trails we end up googling 'stock tacoma XXX road' to try to get an idea of whether we could survive. Given I'm tickled pink with how well our stock ranger does...

we want to upgrade to a 32" all terrain tire on our stock fx4. other threads confirm duratrac fits in this size, and one post notes that a KO2 will as well (no lift, no mods, no rub) what we want is more clearance, with the least hit to MPG and zippiness as possible. it is our daily driver, but...

we're thinking about a CO offroad weekend before it gets snowy- were based out of Gallup NM and can hit SW colorado. we dont know the area at all, but have seen roads like imogene pass and similar recommended. big views, with or without camping along the way, make us happy. stock ranger, fwiw...

we're based out of Gallup for the next couple months. have done a little exploring, but would welcome suggestions of local roads that take us to beautiful places we can stay for a night or weekend. any thoughts?

i thought i was doing it right. apparently not. maybe someone who knows what they are doing could read this and tell me where i got off course. i have forscan, the recommended OBD-EX dongle, and a windows laptop. first time i logged in everything looked good. got a rundown of the modules with...

upgrading tires. anyone need a set? i hear ATM is being discontinued, so if you want spare ATMs to match your stock FX4 this might be an option, instead of the new hancook AT2. hancook dynapro ATM 265/65R17 (30.6" x 10.4") would need to pickup in Gallup, unfortunately.

We're going to upgrade tires- probably to the 32" skinny duratrac 255/75/17. im planning on buying 5, a set plus a spare. and we currently run the stock hancook tires with 9k miles on them. we dont have a place to store anything, so these tires will be trash or donated or sold. does anyone have...

Anybody have any idea how to stop the Bluetooth auto play feature? I have my Bluetooth connected for phone calls and maps but hate how music always starts whenever I get in and out of the car or hang up a phone call. I have to manually go into my phone and find whatever music is on and pus it...

this thread isn’t really so much as to describe a complicated DIY project, So much as to warn about the crappy online options. we bought rubber tray liners from Amazon. The only ones available at the time. However after few hot weeks in the car they turn into noodly distorted weird plastic...
