  1. Ford Price Increases

    F-150, you mean the hundreds parked in parking lots waiting to be finished? If they offer a great deal on those trucks, I may have to say good bye to my Ranger. or maybe they will get them re-assigned as 2022 models. Shelby afficionados know that story...
  2. Anyone sleep in their truck bed with a topper?

    Just search "charwest", probably most of the answers you are looking for. First search is on me - https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/overlanding-setup-for-the-uncivilized-stealth-camper.10124/
  3. Forest Fires and a TAT time out

    I used Sam's TAT, the original. Sam and Kevin take the money they earn from selling the tracks and uses that to finance trips to update them and to add new routes. I encourage folks to support that by actually buying the tracks from one of the websites. At only a few dollars a state, it's a...
  4. When did Ford start using metric?

    my 1971 Pinto with the 1.6 L engine and tranny had metric fasteners.
  5. Electric F150 Lightning

    according to my favorite ford engineer, the Rivian/Ford deal is to be for a Lincoln SUV. To go off road, I would want a solar roof or bedcover , just in case. And of course plenty of Monolith charging stations are installed through out Moab........ Or maybe Rotopax will come up with...
  6. Engine Wash Advice

    Out of paranoia, for the past 40 years, I have always left the engine running when doing a rinse off or after I sprayed the Gunk when doing a Gunk enhanced cleaning. I figure if the engine starts to sputter, I can stop spraying. Probably not necessary, but we all have are idiosyncrasies.
  7. Auto Stop/Start Override?

    did somebody say ride a bike....
  8. Public Trails - Onterrible

    Well, not in Canada, but for anyone looking for trails but not obstacles, I found this info on the Wrangler forum, and the OP has a good sense of humor judging by his thread name. Here is the description and link: must travel on some kind of dirt/sand/gravel to get there — no special skills or...
  9. Stake Pockets

    Not stake pockets, but Ford does own a patent for a truck bed accessory for "volume expansion assembly for pickup cargo space" https://patents.google.com/patent/DE202018105786U1/en?oq=DE202018105786
  10. Mecum Auction 2021

    Saw the Saleen display at the Lemay last Fall. Very interesting and impressive history. https://www.americascarmuseum.org/explore/exhibits/saleen-a-journey-from-the-heart-of-a-racer-to-americas-supercar/ 1992 Saleen Race Truck (winner of the SCCA RaceTruck Challenge)
  11. Ohio Shrockworks Sliders, Lund Fender Flares

    Sale fell through. Still available
  12. Ohio WTB Stock FX4 leaf springs

    OK sounds good. I will send you a PM with contact info.
  14. Ford Grumpy at Maverick/Ranger6G Photo Leaks

    Mentioned this to my favorite Ford engineer and they responded that they have "lost count of how many emails and trainings they've (Ford) sent out about how much leaks hurt the company". So yeah, this leak wasn't planned in any way.
  15. Top Speed

    I backed off once I hit triples out on the Bonneville Salt Flats back in September. The truck started to feel like it was getting a bit loose. Maybe the all terrains, the Yakima RTT on top of the rack, the rotopax on the side? Anyway, not the best idea, but when you get the chance...... Dont...
  16. Ohio WTB Stock FX4 leaf springs

    No, I have not looked into anything aftermarket as I was hoping to grab a very inexpensive set of take offs.
  17. Post your off-road pics.

    End of September Moon rise above Alvord Desert in Oregon.
  18. Ohio WTB Stock FX4 leaf springs

    Why are they overkill? 1. the type of off roading / trails I will be doing in the future doesnt warrant this level of spring. 2. The increased tailgate height for eveyday use is a pain. they served me well on my ten week adventure, supporting a bed full of gear, a rack and my RTT.
