I havent been in a hurry to get the tailgate fixed as I bought the truck right before Xmas last year and then lost my job of 19 years the first of April due to Covid 19 cut backs. I am just starting a new job next week and then will be looking to do something with the tailgate. The dent is the...
Thanks RP. The Ford dealer were I bought the truck is one of the few dealers I trust and their body shop manager was the first to tell me it cant be fixed. You are right though, getting a couple body shops to look at it cant hurt. Thx G.B.
FYI to all you Ranger owners. Be extra careful with your tailgates. I did something really stupid that dented the top of my tailgate. It did look that bad and I thought it could easily be fixed. No sir. Both my local Ford dealer and a paintless dent guy both told me that I would have to...
OK so my truck was at the dealer last week for repair to the rear defrost grid. I asked the service writer about the burning oil smell and black crap on the tail pipe. He told me that both were normal. The oil smell was even common on F150's I was told but he never really told me why? The...
A new Ranger merged in front of me on the highway a couple weeks ago. It was blowing blue smoke out the tail pipe for a couple miles. I was shocked. Well a couple weeks and 1,000 miles later my truck started emitting a burning oil smell on start up which it never did from new. This started...
I had factory spray in bed liner with my last truck, a Chevy Colorado. Real durable no issues. Since my Ranger had nothing in the bed when I bought it, I was debating to go with a sprayed on bedliner or a plastic drop -in. Then I stumbled across a used Ford drop-in liner close to home for...
Thanks guys for your feedback. I was playing with them today. I had originally pushed the front brackets all the way in or up. So today i pulled them down and it dropped the front of the boards maybe a 1/4". They still are tipped in the rear but a little less.. I think the next thing I am...
Thanks! I think the only adjustment I will get will be with the front bracket? The middle and rear brackets upper mounting tab is vertical and the lower one is on an angled. I will play with it tomorrow. thx G.B.
Just installed my RB10's last night and I have a question on their fit. The clearance of the top of the board at the front is real tight to the rocker and there is a larger gap or clearance to the rocker at the rear of the board. It gives the perception that the board is tipped down at the...
FLRanger, well my RB10's didn't ship with the revised date I was given 1/10-1/14, UGH Been on the phone with two different people at Auto Anything today as I have yet another new ship date of 2/5. They do not stock the boards and have them ship directly from Go Rhino to the customer. Tom from...
You guys looking for dampers, did you try Varsity Ford? When I bought mine there a couple weeks ago they had 17 in stock and are selling them for $39.00. G.B.

No problem. I too was digging the RB20's but not enough to pass up the deal on the RB10's. FYI, right after I ordered these, I got an email saying they were not going to ship until 1/14/20. Not a big deal, just FYI. G.B.
I traded a 2017' V6 Colorado Z71 in on my Ranger XLT the end of last year. My Colorado had 76,000 miles in 2 years and 2 months. I drive a little bit now and then. I use my trucks. I tow boats, snowmobile trailers, haul landscaping materials, lumber, motorcycle parts, etc in the bed. I do...
I stopped by my local truck accessories shop this morning that sells Pendaliner and others, looking for tail gate liner mounting hardware that I could use with my Ford bed liner. They offered me up these plastic spacers from Rugged Liner. I think they will work. I would have rather had metal...
