Haha! All good. Thanks for your help.

Does that mean a long bed mattress will fit? According to the sites it says it will not fit my truck.

Hey dudes, I'm having trouble finding an inflatable mattress for my 5’ short bed. All I seem to find are mattresses for long beds—the shortest I’ve seen are 5.5’? I got a Napier Sportz Tent recently for a camping trip and I want to get a mattress for it. Can anyone help point me in the right...

Thanks everyone! I ended up finding a slightly used Napier Sportz tent for $140 on OfferUp. Looking forward to using it and seeing how well it works. Still on the hunt for a mattress.

Thanks! Looks awesome. Did you get the mattress direct from the website too? When I added the tent to my cart it asked if I wanted to purchase a mattress too. Do their mattresses have the cut outs for the wheel wells? I can’t tell from the pic on the website.

Hey dudes/dudettes, Going on a glamping weekend trip to Joshua Tree, CA next month. I was thinking of buying a tent that attaches to the bed of my ‘19 Ranger. Anyone have any experience with these? Good? Bad? Worth it? Not worth it? Recommendations? Thanks!

Thanks Rich. I’ll check that tomorrow. I’m pretty sure I got the right one, but it won’t hurt to double check. I did all that today: remove flap, turn wheel, check filter. I even removed it and cleaned the area as well as I could with a rag, then hit it with brake cleaner afterwards. You’re...

Guess the video didn’t load. Let’s try again.

Hey dudes, adding a video to this post. Summary: Changed my own oil. Mistakenly left gasket on from old filter (STP filter), put on the new filter (first time using OEM Ford filter), started the truck and oil spilled EVERYWHERE. Removed filter, removed old gasket, replaced filter. Sprayed it...

Sweet! I’m originally from South Florida, but live in Los Angeles now. Not nearly as much rain, but this winter has been nuts! Making me feel like I’m back in my home state. I have an XLT with 17” stock rims so 265/70 is he biggest I can go without rubbing.

Will do. Thanks again, Frenchy!

I was looking at my local Costco and they didn’t have the LE3. They have Destination XT, AT2 and MT2, and Transforce? Are any of those similar to the LE3? Not that I have to buy them at Costco, but I love me some Costco. Plus I think they have warranty and maintenance and other stuff if you...

Thanks Tom! I appreciate your candid feedback. I do have some Continentals on my bicycle that I love haha. I don’t mind paying a little more for something of high quality. The older you get the more you realize: you get what you pay for. Plus, I don’t put a ton of miles on my truck so they’re...

Those look great! I think I’m leaning Michelin LTX, those seem to fit my needs. They’re not “beefy” looking off-road tires, but they definitely look nice and better than what I’ve got.

Ha! I bet. I’ve been wanting to do mods to my truck slowly, without doing anything too drastic that I might regret. Tires seem like the next good step. I hope I don’t get tempted to go bigger, but my parking garage’s ceiling height should be a good deterrent.

Thanks! I appreciate you adding the photo as well, that Ranger looks great! I’ll look into the tires you suggested. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the input. It seems like beefy is not really what I’m going for, based on these responses. I'm more looking for a bigger tire that will fit the wheel well more, not necessarily a beefier tire. The lift is a hopeful by-product of the bigger tire, not a necessity. But I definitely...

Looks sweet!! Can you give me some more details about road noise/fuel efficiency?

Touché. Filling the wheel well is part of the “look” I’m going for. I would say that is more important than looking “beefy”.

Frenchy, thank you!! Yup, clearly going for looks. The only time I’ll go off road is if I ever drive up into the mountains and I happen to hit a dirt road or something. Which maybe has happened once or twice in my couple years owning my truck. Are there All Season tires that look “beefy”?
