what the.... ok.. " The 4-cylinder produced a respectable 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. " -- alright, respectable is such a backhanded compliment word to use here. i usually chuckle at the fanboi posts on forums ("i SaW a TaCoMa WiTh BiG tIrEs, He PrOlLy HaS a SmAlL pEeN" posts), but the...

Sunset Bay RV Resort and Campground. Allouez, MI. Really nice place. Location is fantastic being right up on the water (tent sites were, the full hookup slots largely were across from the tent sites). We were in a tent and the first night a massive storm hit and maaaaan Lake Superior sounded...

Wow the pictures in here are amazing! I’ll pile on the Michigan UP photos. Took this last summer when we stayed up near Copper Harbor. I’d never been to Lake Superior before. Amazing stuff, and I look forward to returning.

Oh great point on the GVWR and GCVWR! I was reading on some of the other threads about the stock leaf springs (non tremor), and the discussion centered around them being so stiff so Ford could get the great payload numbers. You all really have me interested in Fox suspension and tremor leaf...

So if I wanted to swap in fox suspension and the tremor leaf pack to my 2019 FX4, would that lower my payload or tow capacity? my crew cab FX4 has a payload capacity of somewhere in the 1400#’s. That’s already a bit of a bottleneck with a TT. I want this better ride for my DD that you all...

i think with the bike in diagonally i might be able to achieve that on the 5 ft ranger bed. i was just always afraid to try it. def can't do it straight as the tiger 900 rp's length is approx 90 inches. those black widow ramps are NICE!!

my 2022 Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro.... it doesn't fit in the back of the ranger without resting on the tailgate :(

So I just did the build and price on the 2024 Ranger. There wasn’t a whole lot to add to the Ranger Raptor. It had nearly everything I’d want at its base price. So I think my final was nearly $59k. It left me wondering how much the pricing was determined by consumer response to the unveiling...

My wife and always point out the 2 door Broncos when they go by us. We both feel like that’s the Bronco we’d want. Congrats!!

oh... we gotta dream bigger than that. car dealership was trying to make a video to show that people their car payments weren't actually all that high. kinda just underscored how stupid people are.

this reminds me of food trucks. the whole point of them was to be a quick and affordable food option. then the fad started trending towards higher quality foods. more of a culinary experience than a fast food joint. that's when i noticed their prices skyrocketing. i just got a burger from a food...

as a veteran of the internet since the AOL days in my parents basement office, i had to reach deep into my playbook of "How to Survive Getting Flamed on the Internet": - Step 1, embrace failure and own up to it - Step 2, attempt to crack a joke, preferably one that is far less common (twisted...

i'll also add to this: pricing ladders. these manufacturers know what they're doing. the better they can set their pricing ladder, the more they can get people to reach higher. you can have a $48k Ranger Lariat, but for about $4k-$8k more you can have a well loaded F-150 XLT. if you're paying...

vanity and the desire for nice new things drives an interest in the next gen mid-sizes, for me. good sense says that i should sit tight with my 5g ranger because: - arguable better exterior styling - an interior with components that are more than enough to get the job done - a maintenance plan...

doin great. Actually has seemed quite smooth as of late. Which means it’s the calm before the storm. Might need to post a concern thread in the tires and wheels section. It is the internet after all. Ya can’t get flamed unless you give people a reason to trigger. It’s a thankless job, but it’s...

yeah, that makes sense. Either way, now I know more. In the future, I’ll have to read into stuff more to avoid such snafus.

Appreciate it! I genuinely was misinformed. I know I’d read elsewhere to the contrary, but the source was… suspect Yeah I’m just trying to educate myself. I suppose it was a shameful ask but only one way to find out.

So from what I understand, the 2.3L ecoboost block was designed in such a way that made a couple of the pistons close together and the head gasket could fail. This design was later updated to a longer block to address this concern (I forget which year, but I have a 2019 so I definitely have the...

I know you’ve shared what aftermarket parts you have on other threads, but I can’t remember: do you have and upgraded transmission pan? Or all stock there? thanks for posting this!

Yeah the bilsteins are attractive as an option because they allow for something like also buying tremor leafs all for around the price of the fox/eibach package. not sure how icon leafs stack up, but I saw them on stage3 for over $600. Then I saw this Throtl site with what looks like the same...
