ah! didnt know that existed. on our XL truck it is sync settings > parking > delay thanks!

i cant seem to find this setting. any hints on which menu it is buried in?

or for those without flats: include the fifth wheel (matching spare wheel and tire) in the tire rotation. by my rough calculations, if you are running expensive tires this would basically pay for the price of the fifth wheel by extending tire set life a theoretical 20%. that was my plan, but...

my run-in with a cacophony of false parking sensor alarms last time it iced over got forum recommendations for anti-ice coating on the sensors. obviously that stuff is better applied before it ices- an ounce of medicine worth a pound of cure. we since headed to the coast where it doesnt freeze...

camping at Usal Beach along the misty northern california pacific coastline driving the thoroughly enjoyable logging/access road from highway 1. it was raining this week and we enjoyed having 4wd to make the slippery mud and ruts on steep grades easy. in the distance is the destination...

i wonder if things have changed in the last ten years. when i was working search and rescue, the EPIRB/PLB devices were out and causing headaches. we would get random false alerts from malfunctioning devices (which while not a problem for the user without a malfunction, does dilute the response...

is one of your accessories or tow devices eating power after ignition is off? i noticed my start up voltage was a little lower than i expected and wondered if it might be because we leave a cell booster plugged into a powerpoint. not sure if that was my problem, or if it was even a problem, but...

i can speak to that. after i installed my constant voltmeter, i was initially anxious as you suggested would happen. now with over a thousand miles on the voltmeter i feel like i have a better handle on what is 'normal' for our (?my) truck. the max voltage read at the powerpoint is about...

this thread has install instructions, if youre interested https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/cig-lighter-usb-voltmeter-install.9915/

is that this kind of wheel? i dont remember what package we have. but we have fx4 17" alloy wheels. this would definitely be worth 238 for me. so you are saying that mounting a full size tire on this wheel still fits fine in the spare spot? i assume the spare tire carrier area isnt selective...

doesnt like being bounced around? try sand! soft as butter, with the tires aired down. from camping at Big Dune two nights ago:

minor update: after a thousand miles and some off-roading we noticed a brief light rub in full right lock passenger front tire. this was caused by the edge of the tire lightly catching one of the plastic panels inside the wheel well. notching it stopped it with no functional change to the...

i look forward to the day when thermal pre-collision is available / ubiquitous.

if you can’t find it, it’s pretty easy to pop in a non OEM USB socket. example: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/cig-lighter-usb-voltmeter-install.9915/ all the work is getting the fascia off which you will have done anyways. the original poster here’s extra efforts are because he...

Has anyone corroborated this? I have put a fifth matching tire on the steel 17” that came as the spare for my 17” Al wheels. I Would like to comfortable drive highway speeds home when needing to one day. And also- anyone know how much it would cost to get a fifth stock 17” fx4 wheel so I could...

Do you remember where you found the tool straps for the axe? I’m looking for something like that

inspired by a similar thread i planned to replace one of the two dash cigarette lighter powerpoints with an aftermarket voltmeter / USB 3.0 x2 option. for a similar thread that maintains factory harness go here: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/12v-to-usb-swap-with-pics.3368/#post-183720...

i just installed a voltmeter and for the first time have been seeing my driving voltages off the alternator. when i started this trip it was running 14.6 for an hour. then 14.5 for a bit. then dropped to 13.2 doesn’t change with turning accessories on or off. it’s 12.6 w the car off i...

for dummies/newbies like me, who got stumped about how to get the fascia off without feeling like i was breaking anything, this video on youtube was very helpful, starting at around one minute to pull the lateral fascia, and 4:20 to pull the actual cig lighter fascia

i have read a 33 will too. our new 32 fits fine. it does subjectively look bulkier down there, even though the 255/75/17 duratrac is a 10" wide tire compared to the stock hancook 10/5". i was worried it would sit low enough that it might take some offroad rock hits, but it looks like that was a...
