Hey all,
So I have some Bilstein 5100s my garage is putting on for me. I was planning on having them install at the highest point, which would be a 2.5 inch level. However, I have some concern that the truck will look like itās on āstiltsā with the 265/70/17s I run. Has anyone run into a...
After three years of you buy the mat with the Black Friday price youād save $2,110.70 assuming you clean 3x a year at the $250 price in the post (not including taxes).
I clean once a month but generally I find avoiding eating in the car is the #1 way to prevent grossness, grease, smells, etc...
Changed out my front brakes and rotors after being absolutely blindsided by an absurd quote that include $600 of labor. Was kinda hard and messy but glad I learned and definitely think I could do it faster in the future. Kinda stinks it wonāt be for a few years so I wonāt have the experience...
I had the dealer put a spray in bed liner when I bought it as part of my negotiation, Iāve scratched through it once in 11 months with a chip about the size of two quarters but Iām extremely harsh on it and have some pretty sharp and heavy cargo all the time. It was easy enough to repair, all I...
The sad thing is they know exporting all our labor to the third world results in significantly worse quality, they simply do not care. They cannot help themselves when they hear the sirenās call of saving 80%+ on wages. Wonderful for a short-term bump in the stock price and their bonuses. Kids...
My 2019 had 48k miles when I bought it now 62k. Transmission shift from 3 to 4 is kinda jerky sometimes but Iāve accepted someday Iām gonna need to replace it.
Although I did just see in consumer reports magazine under cons for the Ranger they put āawkward/clunky shiftingā so maybe thatās just...
I have to say- looking at the underside of your ranger puts mine to shame, yours is spotless! Mine is a mess of rust and debris. Maybe Iāll move up the timeline on that rust treatment, I have to admit Iām a bit jealous nowā¦
They sure donāt call it the rust belt for nothing š. Iām gonna attack the underside of my truck pretty aggressively this weekend with a wire brush and a few cans of fluid film. I figure thatāll get me through this winter since most of the winter Iāll be in Charlotte where they donāt really use...
So I actually couldnāt wait until the weekend⦠I installed on my lunch break today. Took 65 minutes from opening the toolbox to closing it, and I dropped the spare tire. I didnāt run into any issues at all.
Iām gonna wait a few hours to drive to let the locktite blue set but holy smokes my old...
Got my Bilstein 5100s in the mail today. So excited to install them I donāt know if I can wait until the weekend. Just gonna install the rears myself and let the dealership take care of the front, theyāre gonna have to do an alignment anyway and I figure I shouldnāt be playing around with spring...
Thanks Duke! I actually was considering doing that if nothing else for the free tshirt, but Iām going to put the bigger FX4 skid plate on the front since Iāve had a few near-incidents on my adventures and think I could do with a better plate. I also like the rugged look of the big plate in front
I followed the advice of some others on another thread and decided to write a write-up since I was just guessing. This project took me roughly 40 minutes, but someone could probably do it in half that especially with directions. I love the front of my Ranger now and the way it looks, it is...
Thanks all for the congratulations! Much appreciated. Iāll be brand new to the area so excited to see what I can explore, finding places to hunt and fish.
Funny you mention that, I just finished that novel in audiobook format doing my taking the ranger to Charlotte for a job interview. I ended up getting it! But Iāve never heard anyone reference The Great Santini before, what are the oddsā¦
