Has anyone cut a full-size door lock key? If so, where did you do it? I have a separate alarm keyfob, and want to ditch the large Ranger fob -- instead just have a normal car key. But I can't find a place to cut a normal Ford key (ie not one that attaches to a fob)

I went to an offroad location for the first time to explore the (limited compared with 4x4) capabilities of my FX2 2WD. I was on Beginner and Moderate trails, usually moving as slow as a 2WD would allow. After about two hours I noticed a subtle "clunk" in the steering, when i turned the wheel...

I went to an offroad location for the first time to explore the (more limited) capabilities of my FX2 2WD. I've been light offroad on fire roads, etc., but not more. I have some questions below :) My goal was to understand better the limits of 2WD w/ locking diff ranger. Preview: I didn't find...

Ever since getting my '21 XLT supercab new last year, at highway speeds I hear air noise from side windows. Some noise is of course expected due to pressure differences when operating at high speeds, but the noise is coming from two specific spots. I used a mechanics stethoscope to hear air...

Looking for an air dam for my XLT. I'm adding it on in addition to the skid plates i have, for increased mpg. (i imagine the air dam will need modification)

For those of you who run Destination AT2s on 17" rims, what pressure have you safely aired down to when off-road? I just put on 265/70R17s I'm not sure where to look this up, as Firestone's site didn't seem to have any guidance...

Does anyone know where the cabin humidity sensor is located? I looked in the manual, but didn't find anything. I'm going to modify it to give a false output signal on demand, so that the humidity reading doesn't constantly open the HVAC blend door. I can open it manually when needed, like i've...

I've seen comments ranging from "a bit loud" to " no noise" on Wildpeak A-T3W SL, Destination AT/2, and Discoverer AT/3 4S. But, I haven't heard of a comparison to stock tires. For those who have used both, how loud are these three tires (in 265/70R17) compared with stock Dynapro ATM? Based on...

I read that the stock Dynapro AT-M are "known" to puncture/pop frequently on rocks that other tires won't puncture on. It's not clear if those comparisons are comparing 4-ply Dynapro AT-M to (say) 10-ply Wildpeaks. Is the puncture resistance of various 4-ply tires about the same, or do certain...

I think most of what I read here are Body lift kits: increase ride height, level, etc. Physically what's the difference between a Suspension Lift vs Body Lift? I'm thinking of adding a suspension lift to my 2WD (and a small tire increase at 265/70R17), specifically to increase its offroad...

Why is payload on sticker different than Ford website spec? My door sticker says 1778 lb (XLT 4x2, supercab, 302A, FX2, tow package), but Ford's website here for XLT says UP TO 1905 lb for 4x2 supercab. FX2 doesn't come with a skid plate (so no weight) and the locker can't be 120 lb :p Why is...

Does anyone know of good seat covers that are airbag-safe? That is, seat covers that don't interfere with the front seats' side airbags deploying. I'm looking to cover my cloth seats, only to keep the cloth clean. If there's a seat-bottom-only cover, that'd be better :) I haven't been able to...

I have a 4x2 with locker: -- Stock hancook tires, no lift -- Full skid plates, Bilstein 5100 front and rear, recovery gear for others to use including the stock tow package hitch (I don't have a winch), maxtrax traction boards, air compressor for airing down. I'm looking to understand its...

Will ship to anywhere in USA I'm selling my sealed, brand new and unused UPR Catch Can setup. It includes the dual-valve option, 2x billet pro stainless steel check valve option, and drain line kit option. I was planning on using it, until realizing that it's not allowed in California (I know...

The passenger dash has a fair amount of open space behind the silver grey Ranger panel -- enough for a second storage compartment. I'm planning to turn this into a compartment (making a hinged door in the stock silver dash trim), except I have one hesitation: does anyone know if that solid...

If replacing spark plugs, are OEM the best, or aftermarket? Eg Motorcraft SP578 Iridium.

( Mods, feel free to move to the correct forum, if this isn't the right one...thanks! ) I've been doing some testing on air quality in the cabin, since I live in a smoky climate. I have some concerns about the air recirculation mode not blocking outside air. Summary: Has anyone found the source...

I have the autofold mirror module (folds / unfolds mirrors on lock/unlock) The passenger side power mirror is stuck when autofold correctly opens the driver's side. When I use the manual fold button that came with the vehicle, it opens fine. Has anyone seen this? Any thoughts?

I have the ranger technical manual, but can't for the life of me find where it says how to remove the air cleaner intake duct. I see these tabs, but when i try to pry the intake out, it seems the plastic could snap -- there's probably some trick. Does anyone know how to remove it? BTW this is...
