  1. is an extended warranty worth it?

    I'd spent that money on a vehicle with far less miles... $1,800 for that warranty's duration is about $500 more than I'd ever pay. I'd want bumper to bumper up to 150K with that price. You can negotiate the price of the warranties down a lot.
  2. Rear diff covers now available

    Putting the skid plate on, myself. But won't arrive until July apparently. ARB cover is the only aftermarket one I've seen I'd consider. The Ford Performance one's detent for the logo plate isn't going to do much harm but, man, that logo plate will not age well, I assure you.
  3. Rotor Rant

    I get it. Yes, annoying. The rotors on my Tahoe went to 200K and well within spec before I replaced them out of just being like... "okay, it's 200K". I'd venture these will last for long enough that the fact they had to be resurfaced is long forgotten. If it happens again, it's a metal issue.
  4. Dear Aftermarket, Improve the Brake Pedal, Please!

    One many vehicles, you can indeed push the pedal all the way to the floor at a stop, but it should be quite difficult to get ALL THE WAY. It's not on the Ranger. You're halfway depressed before it does any braking in the first place. Go to a trail and use the trail descent control, if you have...
  5. Dear Aftermarket, Improve the Brake Pedal, Please!

    Rotors being "glazed" has nothing to do with the pedal travel. I shouldn't have to bleed the brakes on a new vehicle. My dealer won't do it (under warranty). The proper way to do it on vehicles with computer actuated ABS is to use a scan tool/dealer tool to actuate ABS for a complete bleed...
  6. The Factory Skid Plate Is A Joke

    Ug... dude... stop. Can you engage without acting like a high school bully? I'm not attacking YOU. I'm criticizing a vehicle. It's a object. It's not personal. Let's act like it. I know what you are saying - I get it the design -- but it's a parts bin compromise to look fancy while saving...
  7. Dear Aftermarket, Improve the Brake Pedal, Please!

    Exactly. And I know this is a fact because I have been sponsored by two aftermarket parts companies in the recent past and part of that sponsorship was to make people who made complaints on forums - which shows up easily in Google searches - look like idiots so the complaint/criticism is made...
  8. The Factory Skid Plate Is A Joke

    Haha, well I did. I was there over the weekend as a passenger in Jeeps. It got torn torn torn up over the weekend. Was a conga line of offroaders out there.
  9. The Factory Skid Plate Is A Joke

    The knob does one thing. Selects between 4LO, 4HI, and 2HI. That's it. Only needs 3 detents. I cannot see the light that lights the selection well during the day. It needs a indicator line. Please do use the ignore function. You don't have to like my posts. Don't participate in them if...
  10. 3d Printed Light Switch Panel for Ranger Raptor 2021

    Damn, I need to get into 3D printing. Where do I learn? That's pretty cool. Can you 3D print more or less the same texture as the OEM panel? Or does that require more of a mould?
  11. The Factory Skid Plate Is A Joke

    The one everyone in Georgia has gone on... Charlie's Creek, haha. There's a rocky lumpy part toward the end (if you go in the creek crossing side first) that caused this. It's a lesson learned. Hindsight is 20/20, perhaps I could have taken a different path... sure... if I had been able to...
  12. Dear Aftermarket, Improve the Brake Pedal, Please!

    Glad you are willing to tolerate a brake pedal feel that’s worse than my 1968 Lincoln Continental... but I’m not. If you don’t share the sentiment or want to discuss it instead of being an obvious Ford fanboy/internet bad ass, get out of this thread.
  13. Dear Aftermarket, Improve the Brake Pedal, Please!

    YOU'RE RIGHT! I need to take off my Jesus sandals and put on some work boots. If only I had known... but thanks to you! Maybe I’ll try those old Reebok pump shoes, too. And then I’ll try the shoes with the roller blades build in for good measure. Man... thanks.
  14. Dear Aftermarket, Improve the Brake Pedal, Please!

    okay buddy. Nevermind the bunches of others that hate the pedal, too, and the complaints all over the internet or the fact my dealer won’t even look at it because of how many complaints they get that can’t be solved. Your lecturing is useless.
  15. The Factory Skid Plate Is A Joke

    The. Tremor. Is. The. Highest. Off-road. Package! It. Should. Not. Have. For show. Skid. Plates. Lord... you people have low expectations.
  16. The Factory Skid Plate Is A Joke

    Ug... Ford states "underbody bash plate" and didn't state anywhere that the skid plates are the same as the FX4, only painted black. In fact it's kind of shady to paint them instead of provide a proper plate. A bash plate is not thin gauge steel. Thin gauge steel cannot be "bashed" and...
  17. 5star tune - poor mpg and traction controll light issue

    With any universal tune, you need to send a data log to the tuner and have adjustments made. Your engine and conditions are not the same as the engine and conditions with/in which that tune was developed. Minor adjustments are always needed and help prolong engine life. If they tuner doesn't...
  18. Rotor Rant

    Regarding turning the rotors -- I've done that on vehicles. As long as they are in spec, it's fine. If the pads are fine, reusing them isn't a big deal.
