Good luck, The project would be much simpler if the bolt pattern footprint of the seat frame was a rectangle instead of a trapezoid (truncated pyramid shape). ..__.. /__\

Hello carnut122, In short NO! I'm not an engineer, nor do I play one on TV OR CABLE. I thought about tabs when I started the project. It would be easier. Tabs would be unsafe. No free lunch. Long version, consider these questions. 1) do you wear your seatbelt? 2) are you the only driver...

I posted on "First Long Trip" a year or more ago asking about a seat extension for long legged folks. No response, but 393stroker asked if I had heard anything. Since I didn't hear anything, this past Fall after Deer season, I built an extension frame and moved my seat back 3". I didn't keep...

You have an interesting project, congratulations. What about using clear Plexiglas for your baseplate? That would return some visibility.

In 1970 I was working in my dad's 66 station when four of my HS classmates came roaring in driving a sporty Corvair. The driver hopped out and told me to check the radiator. "Barry, it doesn't have a radiator." 'BS! we just put a gallon of water in. It's running hot.' I changed the oil...

My Lariat has an adjustable seat but I need more leg room and because of my height and bad back would like to extend the seat farther back into the unused space behind the seat. This rather than use the height adjustment to go up. Has anyone tried to extend the tracks? I have ideas on how to...

Here is the bottom half of my recall letter. I got the letter today. I had the truck in last friday but it was ok and did not need parts. They told me 2 hours to fix if it failed. Good luck.

I indicated "don't go over the recommended weight." Ford lists the recommended weight. If I misunderstood what seemed to be an escalating upward weight spiral, I apologize. KP75

Can you do it? We are all big enough for long pants and thus responsible for our own actions and the consequences of our decisions. Driving without seat belts, driving without headlights at dusk, overloading a vehicle, & etc. all impact the driver, the passengers and others who get in the way...

Look at your rotors by looking between the spokes on your wheels. The rotor disk is visible. If the rotors are rusty, they can squeak. If the rotors are shiny, less likely to squeak. When you drive, it burnishes the rust off the rotors. If it sits in humid conditions, the rotors may rust...

Don't go over the recommended weight. When you, your wife, or your kid looks outside and sees that trailer trying to pass you, it will be too late to reconsider your purchase. Worse, your truck and trailer will take up both lanes and a shoulder as you serpentine down the road trying (failing?)...

Have you got a front brake dragging? A bit of a drag might heat it and the rotor up enough to cause a problem. Several ways to check. 1)if you have one of the inexpensive laser thermometers (Harbor Freight, about $25), check the hubs/rotors after you get home. Takes 30 seconds to do both if...

Beautiful solution! I solved it in a low-tech manner by using 3-M Command strips (2 of them) on the raised ribs and placing a camping stainless steel rescue signal mirror on top. It works well, hasn't come loose in 2 months in SC, and holds a cell-phone sized suction cup with monitor...

Hi Ranger Pride, Granted, it looks like a phone but that is NOT a phone. That is a dedicated monitor which is included with the camera. All you have to do is wave your hand in front of it to activate the screen. It's analogous to the dedicated screen for the factory installed backup camera...

I may be the only person who doesn't trust the front bumper radar for parking close to something in front of the truck. I walked by a License Plate Camera at COSTCO the other day and stopped to see how it worked. It was wireless and Solar! It is intended to go on as a backup camera but I...

Ranger cross-bed divider I decided I wanted a bed divider to keep groceries and other small things in the vicinity of the tailgate. Here is how to build one. Check the pictures before you cut. You can see the marks I made for the screws on the divider. Bill of materials: One 8’ x 2” x 10”...

======================== Ok, here's the probable source. On most mudflap installs I've done over the years, you take the wheels off to give yourself working room for the install, even if you do have a lift. This is particularly true if you need to drill holes but also in some cases with the no...

I traded a diesel mega-cab Ram 3/4 ton 4x4 truck for the ranger 4x4. The Ranger ride is better. The Ranger seats are better by a mile. It's certainly quieter. We all have our own opinions, and you're going to make up your own mind. Enjoy the ride!
