Wanted to share because it can be sketchy buying stuff meant for overseas rangers in hopes they'll fit a US model
I wanted some extra lighting on my truck because I live in a super dark area with no street lights. I toyed with the idea of A-pillar lights but I had them on my...
Sorry for the late reply. with this mount the plate that holds the winch is tilted towards the front of the truck which creates a really nice area for airflow up into the intercooler&radiator. I havent had any heat issues but I also live in a cool climate. Hope that helps
I havent really driven it much since the install... I was waiting to get it aligned since I simultaneously put new suspension in. I don't anticipate a significant mpg drop, though
Yeah, around that number. I'm not good at estimating the weight of things lol.
There are things you can do to mitigate weight with the winch setup. I switched to a synthetic line and it cut back on a good chunk of weight. The bulbar portion of the mount is not really that heavy, I could lift...
The nice thing about this one is that it adds more protection to the front end. I'm pretty sure someone backed their hitch into the stock plastic that was there on my truck, and now its really well protected for only ~$300 more.
Finally got the chance to get my Shrockworks bumper installed and I wanted to post a quick thread here to go over the process and some hiccups/unexpected things.
First off, it did take a while to get after ordering which isn't an issue but something to be aware of! The process also required a...
Hey Phil,
I left a paint mark where the original tie rod sat so I could easily get the new one in the original spot. You are right though, I lifted it and have an alignment scheduled.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the replies! Upon further inspection I noticed that I read the spec for an adjacent bolt, which was way over the spec for that one.... Aagh. So this ones on me.
Still an interesting failure, I have always been fascinated with tensile failure. Hopefully this will remind me to stop...
Guess this is more steering related than suspension related, but I was putting new struts on my truck while it happened so I figured I'd post it here. Was working on torqueing each bolt to specs. On the driver's side, the bolt that connects the steering tie rod end to the steering knuckle pulled...
