Cool truck - what offset are those wheels?

Can you take a pic of where it rubs?

So no rubbing on UCAs? What tires?

:beer:

Sorry Phil you have no clue what you are talking about. Based on your credentials I would expect more. You post is very off base.....we all know Negro Modelo is the best choice :) Cheers

I may be eating crow later on, but I really dont see the point of the 2.7 in the Ranger or this Bronco. A lightly tuned 2.3 would be heads and tales above competitors and plenty for the platform.

Based on my limited towing experience, trailer towing capacity is rarely the limiter, its typically payload. A 5k trailer @ 10-15% tongue weight is 500 to 750 lbs. Two adults, another 300 to 400. Bikes, luggage, fuel, food, firewood, your looking at least 1000 to 1300 lbs...which is near...

+1, well said....but HP should remain largely static, less torque but higher RPM = same HP.

The UCA must still be the same design though, I've seen the aftermarket UCAs for the global Ranger and they look the same as US spec ones. Maybe spindle is spaced out further?

Stock wheel offset for US Ranger is +55. Ranger Raptor stock offset is also +55 and uses 285/70 17s. Why does it seem like everybody here in the US needs us use wheel spacers to fit 285s to clear UCAs when the Raptors can pull it off without spacers? What am I missing?

Beautiful....what spacers did you use? *Edit - n/m, when I first read I thought the 1" fabtech was an additional lift...

MPG will get better over time once the engine breaks in a bit more. What grade fuel you running? What % ethanol?

Hey Tom - I like the narrower tires also. My "summer" tires are 255/75R17, which are effectively 32.1 x 10. I just put on a winter set of studded Nokians that are 235/85R16 which are tad shorter and about an inch narrower, 31.7 x 9.3. The 235/80R17's are much narrower than 11", 235mm is...

Wonder what would happen if you put a 2:1 reduction on that 2 stroke? Gearing is the limiting factor, particularly on a single speed kart. The 125cc Shifter carts probably have less torque than your briggs but still make 40+ hp.

I have some RUD tire chains, they are fairly easy to install weigh a lot and are aimed at more for offroading than strictly hwy travel. They get excellent traction but were not cheap. https://chainstop.com/truck-tire-chains/grip

He knows whats up and yes, Rangers SMOKE Tacomas...even chipped Tacomas.

Exactly and thanks for the humor...:)

**** measuring contest with credentials? Doesn't matter. That turbine has an operating range sim to a diesel from 10,000 RPM to 30,000 RPM shaft, reduced is 1,000 RPM to 3,000 RPM....pretty close to a big displacement diesel (actually wider) and makes less torque than a Corvette. HP moves...

Not that easy. I guess all the engineers that designed the Abrams tank and it's corresponding turbine engine could learn a thing or two: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeywell_AGT1500 It's important to note, the engine has a 10:1 reduction unit bolted to it, crankshaft spins at 20,000+ RPM...

Open diffs are the safest option in the snow and ice since you'll always have a tire that is holding you rear end from sliding out. Limited slip diffs can work great to get additional traction, but on a icy sidehill, like the crown of a road or a sloped bend in a highway, they can absolutely be...
