  1. Pulled the trigger on ARB

    I've got the medium duty pack, with Decked, GFC, and a rear bumper with swingout. Perfect combo. Ride quality is astoundingly good (BP-51 too), plenty of clearance below the rear bumper, and the truck retains the appropriate rake, even when fully loaded.

  3. LTX M/S vs. T/A K02

    Whichever brand you go with is way less important than the tire's category and weight rating. The LTX is a highway terrain tire. It's designed for on road use in sizes and capacities that fit trucks. The K02 is an all terrain tire. It's designed to be ok at everything, including off...
  4. Toyo OpenCounty AT3 vs BFG AT KO2 & E vs C vs SL Load Ranges

    This won't give you precise results, but will get you into the ballpark: https://tirepressure.com/tire-pressure-calculator With LTs, it becomes even more important to air down off road too.
  5. Toyo OpenCounty AT3 vs BFG AT KO2 & E vs C vs SL Load Ranges

    You're going to see a bigger performance difference between p metric and LT within the same brand than you will between different tires in the top tier AT category. I've run both LT K02s and ATIIIs on my Rangers. They're both great. if this was me, I'd go for those C Rated Toyos. Good...
  6. Mickey Thompson 255/85R17

    By adding tire height you're altering scrub radius. You need to bring that back into alignment by spacing outwards one inch. Spacers are totally safe if properly torqued. Stage3 sells some good ones. Lemme find a link. Add them to rear wheels too. Don't go over an inch or you'll start...
  7. High Mileage Ranger Report

    The explicit purpose of car owner's forums is to provide a space for people with problems to seek help. As such, those problems are over represented on those forums versus the total population of the vehicle in question. A great example of that is the Land Cruiser forum. The 200-series is the...
  8. ARB Front Locker

    If you don't already subscribe to Ronny's channel, you should. The info he puts out is A+.
  9. ARB Front Locker

    Yeah, I try to avoid deep water in general, but haven't had an issue the few times I have had to wade. I'd think of it less as a handicap and more just something to be aware of. Take water crossings slowly, and try to go no deeper than your wheels. Mud is terrible for your truck in general...
  10. Hot Metal Fab Rock Sliders

    Those look really good. Love the wrap around frame mounts and that angled piece up front.

  12. ARB Front Locker

    Yeah, I'd be hesitant to lock the m190, especially with upsize tires. Terrain Management is extraordinarily effective, I feel no need for a front locker and I push this truck to its limits.
  13. Crazy truck camper—is anything like this available in the States?

    All I can see there is weight and failure points. If you want something that compresses into a reasonable footprint while driving, then expands for camping, and offers completely unnecessary levels of comfort, then you need a 4Wheel Camper. But that company doesn't make any products light...
  14. Auxbeam switch question

    Consider one of these, they're crazy easy to install and look OE: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/lightforce-switch-faschia.1908/ I have three groups of lights eating up all those swith locations, so I have my redarc brake control installed in one of the 12v outlets using one of these...
  15. Tremor on New 285's !!

    x2 per axle, so total change there is an inch. That's quite a bit when it come to suspension geometry. Think of the tiny tweaks made during an alignment that add up to really significant changes in how your truck handles. I ran zero offsets on my first Ranger for a while (buddy hooked up a set...
  16. Tremor on New 285's !!

    Pushing scrub radius out of spec impairs handling. Adding too much offset (as with zero offset wheels or too much spacer) will make steering vague, and cause the truck to veer sideways when braking. It'll also bring forward maintenance intervals/failure for components like wheel bearings. But...
  17. Tremor on New 285's !!

    No offense of course, just understand that you're objectively reducing performance, creating additional wear, and ruining other driver's days by pursuing a look. And I'd argue that function is always coolest.
  18. Tremor on New 285's !!

    I'd definitely rethink those spacers. You'll destroy your paint and other people's windshields with thrown rocks, while reducing stability. Here's my Tremor wheels w/285/70 Nokian winters. One inch spacers correct scrub radius for a 32-34 inch tire and keep the tires in the arches.
  19. Outside Magazine Ranger Project

    Buddy Stuart Palley shot some nice photos of the truck today.
