    thanks for the help. ill report back on how it works out in actual use. solar panel: yes. its an 80w flexible (flat) panel that continuously charges our powerbank in the bed. we use that power for the bed lights, fans, laptop and cellphones, etc.

  4. Rock Crawling Ranger

    update: finally got around to checking. when i am in 4L my trail control still only goes down to 1 mph lowest increment.
  5. Dual LED Fog Lights

    THIS is why i love this forum. what a blessing. and i feel like a nincompoop for not thinking of that myself. with the above advice, i (relatively) easily switched the seals, placed the new lamps. ALLA brand dual white/yellow h11 lamps into the fog light housing. if you want to find these...
  6. forscan newbie: wont save changes. wont read DTC codes. why?

    cool beans for the record, these are referring to codes B12C2 and B1115. (i’m putting the numbers in text in addition to the photos) so that forum searches will bring this post op for future ranger brethren. )
  7. forscan newbie: wont save changes. wont read DTC codes. why?

    yes it’s LED. but thankfully no codes show up in dash so i don’t have to spend time worrying about it unless i’m in forscan.
  8. Dual LED Fog Lights

    update on the alla brand 8k lumen dual LED fog upgrade attempt: i can’t get them in. i can easily get the OEM halogen lights in and out but spent 45 painful minutes trying to work the new LEDs in. this was my first time replacing lights and i learned some things along the way. enough that i kept...
  9. forscan newbie: wont save changes. wont read DTC codes. why?

    we have the tie in. ie: new third brake in cap. it works as expected. sounds like our codes are innocent bystanders. thanks for the help!
  10. forscan newbie: wont save changes. wont read DTC codes. why?

    alright! optimistic that it might be something simple i tried wiggling and shoving. no change. but then i realized hunting for basic fixes that i needed to advance the key one more click. now that the key is in the correct position it reads all the modules and allows me to write changes. thank...
  11. forscan newbie: wont save changes. wont read DTC codes. why?

    no switch. it is the “recommended” reader by the forscan site and one of the touted benefits was no need for switching
  12. forscan newbie: wont save changes. wont read DTC codes. why?

    i thought i was doing it right. apparently not. maybe someone who knows what they are doing could read this and tell me where i got off course. i have forscan, the recommended OBD-EX dongle, and a windows laptop. first time i logged in everything looked good. got a rundown of the modules with...
  13. what do you do with your old tires when you upgrade?

    thanks. will try there too
  14. what do you do with your old tires when you upgrade?

    if you search for 255 in the forums there are a few posts and threads which touch on this. it sounds like it should work on our stock truck we want to upgrade offroad performance/durability a little, and i want a skinny tire to get most of the benefits of a bigger tire with less weight. im not...
  15. going cheap: stock hancook ATM 265/65/17 tires x 5, 9k miles, in Gallup New Mexico

    upgrading tires. anyone need a set? i hear ATM is being discontinued, so if you want spare ATMs to match your stock FX4 this might be an option, instead of the new hancook AT2. hancook dynapro ATM 265/65R17 (30.6" x 10.4") would need to pickup in Gallup, unfortunately.
  16. what do you do with your old tires when you upgrade?

    We're going to upgrade tires- probably to the 32" skinny duratrac 255/75/17. im planning on buying 5, a set plus a spare. and we currently run the stock hancook tires with 9k miles on them. we dont have a place to store anything, so these tires will be trash or donated or sold. does anyone have...
  17. Post your off-road pics.

    and here: photos not from the trail itself but from the undercarriage check afterwards: broken arrow trail, sedona AZ. (trail too busy and we were too stimulated by the driving for photos en route) a lot of folks talk about the fragile underparts of the stock fx4, so thought i would upload...
  18. Post your off-road pics.

    a pretty camping spot in the black hills (SD), off a logging road, off a forest road black elk peak in the background (from a few weeks ago before we split for the desert)
  19. Dual LED Fog Lights
