  1. Oil Filter Access Modification

    Lots of folks hate those stupid little plastic screw inserts that hold the cover on to access the oil filter, and for good reason, they suck. If you're not opposed to opening up the 3 holes very slightly with a step drill, you can install these GM Style fasteners: On my 2wd truck, there is...
  2. Towing and Empty Temps

    Here's some data I grabbed the other day. Not a particularly hot day or hard tow, and I'll try and get some more as we get into hotter temps down here. Just showing that towing big heavy things really doesn't have as much effect on the transmission temps as you would thing with this truck. I...
  3. Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground

    Just back from a week long trip at the House of the Mouse in Florida. We tend to go every 5 years or so for a week, but this is the first time we've owned a camper so we drug the 26DJSE behind us and spent a week at the Fort Wilderness Campground. A few notes. The roads into the camp sites...
  4. Trailer Upgrades (Wet Bolts/CRE3000)

    It quit raining here in Seattle Georgia long enough on Friday that I was finally able to complete the suspension upgrade of our 26DJSE. Out with the old, in with the new. Not counting the probably 700ish miles that the trailer was towed from Elkhart, IN to Georgia for delivery, we have pulled...
  5. I do things right, because I do them twice. (Driveshaft Splines)

    A cautionary tale for anyone lubing the splines on their 2WD driveshaft. The driveshaft is keyed, but can still be flipped 180 degrees. Luckily, I'd ordered a 10 pack of boot clamps, so it wasn't a big deal, but I'm super annoyed with myself for making the mistake in the first place.
  6. Driveshaft Boot/Clamp Size

    It's time to do my driveshaft lube again, and the Ford kit is a bit of a ripoff at $20, when you can buy the Ford PTFE lube in a 3oz tube for $16. Does anyone know what the clamp size is? I'm just going to order a 10 pack of them from MCMaster Carr, and then I'll be set for the next several...
  7. 1974 Style Rv'ing

    So many titles I thought about for this, and so many 'retro'...ummm movies, that you could film in this thing. Poking around the net tonight, stumbled across this BAT auction. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-gerstenlager-camelot-cruiser/ Said to be 1 of 3, I have never seen ANYTHING...
  8. Georgia Sold: WTB Stock Rear Bumper (Black)

    Looking for a stock black rear bumper, or the metal part from the left hand side of one.
  9. Valvoline ULV

    This is just a heads up for those of you that want to change the fluid in your 10R80 with something other than Mercon ULV: Amazon currently has a 6 pack of Valvoline ULV for $49 ($8.16/qt) which is the lowest I've been able to find it pretty much anywhere...
  10. Information from Bilstein RE: 4600/5100 Shocks for the 5G Ranger (FYI)

    Since I was just inquiring about front shocks, I would take this information to be in reference to those only. If this has been discussed before, my apologies as a search turned up only a few mentions of the 4600 shocks and that was back in 2019. I have no intentions of leveling my Ranger, but...
  11. Georgia 2020 Rear FX2 Shocks (6200 Miles)

    As pictured. Pulled these off last night at 6200 miles. No leaks, work fine. $30 pickup in Statham GA or I can meet somewhere in the area. I'm pretty sure I can tie them compressed and fit them in a Large USPS flat rate box, so I can ship them for $20. Added - OBO
  12. Payload Stickers

    I searched and didn't see a thread on this. Might be helpful for people looking to get into a ranger if there is a place that they can reference similar builds and see what payload rating they're going to end up with. No good having a 7500# tow rating if you have so many options that you blow...
