we're based out of Gallup for the next couple months. have done a little exploring, but would welcome suggestions of local roads that take us to beautiful places we can stay for a night or weekend. any thoughts?
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.
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...
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. )
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...
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...

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...
upgrading tires. anyone need a set?

hancook dynapro ATM
265/65R17 (30.6" x 10.4")
would need to pickup in Gallup, unfortunately.
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...
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...
