Good info. Honestly, I drive 12k miles or less a year right now, so I’m thinking of going with fox. It’d be many years before I’d have to service them. I think all the feedback confirming that they present the ride I’m looking for might make it worth the hassle. Very little negative feedback on...

This site deserves way more in commission than it probably gets. The desire to spend and keep up with you all is intense!! that said, I know I really need to address my Ranger’s FX4 suspension. It works ok, but bumps really send me careening all over my lane. The Ranger has become my wife and...

Woke up and it was raining. Forecast said it would clear into pure sunshine. So I got to work and cleaned my truck. Vacuumed it. Washed it. Clay bar’d it. Waxed it. I even busted out the 303 to protect those exterior plastic pieces. It ain’t perfect. I’m not a pro. But this truck lives outside...

I am in my mid-30s. i wear my hat backwards because who cares? i also don't have a mullet and don't wear pit vipers. i am despised lol. i am indifferent to the overall looks of the tacoma exterior. don't hate it, but i'm not in love with it either. on the interior, i don't mind the big...

Yowza Toyota is offering all the options that were “must haves” for me to let go of my ‘19 Ranger. Crew Cab and long bed. nice to haves: ventilated seats for my sweaty bum, in bed air compressor (great when you’re stuff motorcycles in the bed), MANUAL TRANSMISSION. There are loads of other...

crew cab motorcycles already exist. They’re those Polaris RAZR things that drunk idiots love to rip around off road in. They’re doing great work destroying trails and littering wherever they go since they can pack a cooler of beer and go ham. It’s accelerating the rate at which communities are...

well if i'm gonna whine about something unrealistic then i'm gonna say what i was really HOPING for: a 2024 Ford Ranger FTB Edition -- powered by the Voodoo V8 Engine complete with a manual transmission. oh, and FTB is for F*&k Them Bees cuz V8, lol

I joined the fray on one of the threads to express how underwhelmed I was. I just wanted a crew cab with a long bed. I don’t want a full size truck if I can get a mid size in that configuration. That’s the only reason I’d go from 5G to 6G. BUUUUUUUT the silver lining is now I don’t feel bad...

IMO it looks pretty decent. I like it. It also looks like one of the most expensive trims, and everything beneath it could look atrocious. Wheel fenders won’t be there. Hood scoop would be gone. The lame standard Toyota grill instead of the TRD one. Toyota isn’t alone there tho. The Ranger...

Don’t tempt me. A crate motor + labor for install is roughly how much id pay for a full size truck if I upgraded. Why not keep the midsize and have way more fun?? if we’re dreaming with theoretical dollars, why stop at coyote? Aluminator engine since I apparently can’t go voodoo...

At the 55k mile mark I just moved on from the stock Hankook Dynapros on the FX4, 265/65R17. I read around a bunch, nearly went Falken Wildpeak and at the last second went Toyo Open Country AT3s. Same stock tire size. Didn’t wanna mess with figuring out going larger. All I can say is WHY did I...

That is AWESOME information that I didn't know. Thanks so much!

i've been saving my coins to update my 2019 FX4 suspension to the Fox suspension and have noticed it doesn't come up as much in threads. It's all Bilstein and Eibach. Is something wrong with the Fox setup, or is the higher price tag the thing that pushes people into Eibach/Bilstein?

I like to stick to Motorcraft products most of the time, but I've been around long enough to know Amsoil is good stuff. I've never changed differential fluid before, but it looks about as easy as it gets. I saw Bank's videos so I may take that Amsoil advice and go for it. That said, by what...

Gonna resurrect an old thread here... I was planning to get the Ford Performance rear diff cover because I thought it would help keep things a bit cooler and prolong the life of the rear diff. From what I'm read in this thread, the focus just appears to be durability from hits while offroad...

Gotta say I agree on your Nissan assessment. I haven't ridden in a new Frontier, but I always saw them as a great option. Cheaper interior parts and comforts with a lower price tag. That was the agreement. I test drove a Titan last year and was stunned how similar that mentality carries over...

I’m not 100% sure if this is the right place, but I don’t wanna create a thread for such a simple question. I’ve decided what brand I want. And I’ve settled on a size (265/70-17). My question is regarding whether or not my tire calculus is right or not. The tires I’m targeting are either...

Head gasket is under the powertrain warranty for sure, but is your coolant level low? Pull the coil and spark plug and inspect, then double check that coolant level. that's all the further i could personally go (i'm not much more than an entry level home mechanic) before i'd just have to pay the...

Is cylinder 1 the one closest to the cabin? If so then I’ll definitely +1 for guessing an issue with the spark plug or coil. I remember folks having water leak down through the 2 piece cover between the hood and windshield that dropped onto the top of the engine.

I had to have my dash pulled and the HVAC box replaced. Took three business days I think. The bill was $3600. I made a leap of faith and called Ford Customer Service as I was out of warranty. They used funds from the Goodwill Program or whatever it and knocked my bill down to $900. If you’re...
