This is a great write-up and information and helped me greatly with a similar installation for my Baja Designs off road lights! Thanks! For anyone else reading, I made note of which fuse is 12V constant power and which is 12V Switched on Ignition. Fuse 29 (2 Blade) is always on 12V power and...
I did debate on which way to go, as changing the lens itself is also pretty dang easy, and yeah, cost is only $5 more for the lenses, but I made my decision for 2 reasons. One, the addition of an extra rock protection is nice (not the main reason, but a plus) and two, it gives me the ability to...
Finally got a nice day with some time here in Michigan to finish up the wiring on my @Baja Designs lights from @Stage3Motorsports! Was initially delayed by a couple issues with the kit, including bolt for one of the lights coming rounded off and a missing/in correct harness that wouldn't allow...
Finally got a nice warmer day with some time here in Michigan and got my wiring done for my @Baja Designs off road lights from @Stage3Motorsports! I am super happy with them! And I have the yellow light covers that I can swap on and off as needed depending on the weather conditions and drive...
Well, small sneak preview on the truck so far! Got the @Baja Designs lights installed in the front bumper, but still am working on the wiring! Got way too cold and snowy around here for the last few weeks for me to get stuff done, so I finally got a chance to finish attaching the last light in...
I haven't made it out to Holly Oaks myself yet, but one of the parks I enjoy going to the most is Rocks & Valleys just north of Clare! It's a bit of a drive, but it's usually a lot less crowded than a lot of the other parks, you don't have to worry about atvs and dirt bikes there as it is just...
I feel the pain on the front mounted flag! I offroad plenty in Michigan here as well, though mostly with my Jeep! While most places say that you should have a flag mounted to the front, most of the parks around Michigan don't really check that closely or measure either. I think it's most...
Got mine updated this weekend! Took about 30 minutes of running, but...THE CLIMATE PANEL IS BACK! Also got the install log and was able to upload it back to the Ford site with no issues! This took way to long to get the official fix, but glad it is done now! Didn't bother me in the summer not...
The Ranger had a very nice Christmas holiday for sure this year! Took the Ranger out and saw the Holiday lights at Michigan International Speedway! 5 miles of lights, and even got to go on the track! And yes, that is a moose pit crew working on the cars! Haha!
Then the Ranger put...
Glad to hear about another weather nerd on here! (hence my user name, WxNerd...) That is one of my passions as well and one of the additional reasons I have the radios set up as well so I have access to weather radio and multiple channels. I used to chase storms down in college a good bit, but...
I have a 2011 JK which was the daily. I got the Ranger to be my new daily driver and let me enjoy my Wrangler more for what it was built for! I am one of the lucky one's who has been able to have both! However it was at least a daily driver switch from the Wrangler to the Ranger!
Towed a small U-Haul (4'x8', 12' in total length from truck) the last week about 300 miles. Was maybe a total weight of about 300 miles and the truck didn't even know it was there! Got to try out the BLIS coverage for the trailer too, so that was nice! Keeping in mind the cooler winter weather...
Ah...yeah, that sucks! I get that feeling! I also have a lifted Wrangler and when house shopping a few years back that was a big factor was if the Jeep would fit in the garage, as it clears a standard 7' opening by just a couple of inches! When we got the house that we are in now, within the...
That is exactly why I have the short antenna setup! If you look, it is the same height as the stock radio antenna, which means it should clear all standard heights, like garage doors, parking garages, etc. And I have tested the short antenna setup and it completely clears! The short setup isn't...
