Second data point. We shipped our car back- about seven weeks without a start and again started right up. I suspect the system knew it was running lower battery than usual as the auto stop didn’t turn the car off at stops for the first day or so of driving afterwards.

what is the airdam tuck? we arent cowboys. but since we go far from the beaten path i did invest in a spare alternator and belt. i assume it works... from a parts yard and it looks ok. cost about a third of the new alternator cost and given i figure im unlikely to actually need it didnt want to...

how does the suicide door make it harder in a parking lot? just that you have to open both doors to open the rear door? in practice i dont really feel its an issue. true, you have to open both doors and its awkward when there isnt a lot of room bw you and the next car, but a standard door is...

definitely. was planning on ambling around home depot looking for a piece of firm rubber before we mount the wheel. maybe some roofing rubber scraps or a piece of sidewall from a scrap yard. or a piece of industrial carpeting (but would prefer rubber so doesnt hold water). who knows what i can...

We already have our spare matching 32” tire mounted on the factory 17” wheel in the spare bay and no problems so not anticipating any issues.

if i had just waited a day it would have answered that question: here is the used wheel being shipped to me no center cap! thank you Ranger Pride for your help. i probably would have paid 200 extra for the "empty center" wheel without your advice;)

well ill be.. that is fantastic. and bonus: the soothing soundtrack, lullaby british tones, and typical wonky sense of humor.

uh. for real? or are you making fun of us newbies? if thats the solution that would be super awesome, assuming the cap is able to be pressed back in every time we rotate the wheels without creating a problem in the future

I finally got around to working on finding a matching fifth 17" aluminum stock wheel for our truck. I want to be able to include our 5th matching tire in the rotation and have a full size highway-ready spare. However, I am now wondering if there is going to be an issue mounting it in the bay. I...

can anyone point me in the direction of a detailed written description aimed at car newbies for how to replace the alternator? maybe i am missing a post? i found one video on youtube that is a little vague and is missing a lot of video. it suggests that you can get the alternator in and out...

duratrac 255 75 17 no buyers remorse. i think its a real 32" tire if i recall correctly. no cutting! https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/help-me-out-ko2-vs-duratrac-vs-in-255-75-17.9321/page-3#post-184684

allow me to be the contrarian, then. i think your truck is ready to go as-is. and if you have been getting stuck out there, the best bang for your buck without getting expensive and complicated is tires. i doubt clearance is what is limiting most occasional offroaders, so much as traction. we...

Saipan. Just a short drive from wherever you are.

still wandering around the pacific islands, looking for something off pavement.. some of the "roads" here dont get traveled for weeks, maybe months, and the jungle takes them back. drive this for a mile or two and you can find a lifestime supply of banana spiders and praying mantis on the hood...

sounds magical. but if youre committing to this, i recommend you measure the diagonal but subtract the loss from the siderails / cap rails. remember the cap will overlap the side rail a lot on the inside. we lose a few inches in all dimensions. and you only see that loss exactly at the typical...

thank you for the kind words, y'all. while my wife and i are very happy with our setup, its two liabilities for your purposes are 1) that it is effectively permanent. to get it out of the truck would be destructive or more time consuming than i care to imagine. that said, if i was to do...

how do you find the reception difference between the stock antenna and the OTR antenna?

cozy? uncomfortable? we're flexible and we get in easy enough, and enjoy the simplicity and maintaining the full performance of the truck without changing the profile. sure ain't for everyone though!

Those modular rings in the cab come handy even when we’re “off-roading” to the grocery store.
