Crazy indeed, I also won tickets to that Stones tour with Living Color opening for them. It was New Year's Eve for the show in Toronto, Ontario. We were metal heads though, and left shortly after the Stones came out. In unrelated news, Pantera 'reunion' tickets go on sale Friday morning for the...

It's really not a bed rack or tie down rail per se. It's a roll bar, intended to help prevent the cab and occupants from being crushed in a roll over.

I completely misread the OP, I thought it was the new piece to be drilled, not the factory knuckle. Now I'd have to change my opinion and be VERY hesitant to drill them out . I'd be aiming at another manufacfturer which doesn't require permanent modification.

Can you post photos of the part to be drilled?

I'm guessing he never actually had a Ranger, or a Frontier, and is just a basement troll. If we only knew a Moderator with account deleting powers..... lol

If you only had some rope handy to secure your load to the tie-down point at the rear of the box near the tailgate ;)

Although I'd prefer a perfect fit from the factory, I'd consider drilling depending on the specifics of the part and drill requirement. If drilling the yellow circle area, the left photo has very low risk if damage, especially if you can get it mounted in a drill press for proper alignment. If...

I don't know what it's for, but looks to me like it came from FORD!

Exactly. It's great resource for new tires.

The problem with the chalk test is that it's accurate to the current wear on the tires. Meaning, if you run over-inflated tires for 10,000 miles, then do a chalk test, it will show to keep them over-inflated, which will continue to wear the center tread. The same with under-inflated, continuing...

How is that better than a flat tailgate? The wheel is still on the bed of the truck, the tailgate isn't carrying any weight in that photo. If the wheel base was long enough to put the wheel weight on the tailgate, the more angle the tailgate has the farther from the pivot the weight would be...

Looks like it increases the load on the tailgate, instead of allowing the item to sit flat and the bed to carry most of the weight. What's the advantage that I am apparently missing?

Acceleration is hard to quantify and MPG I don't really track. I had it lifted and steel bumper installed at dealer before I drove it. Bigger tires and oof rack installed shortly after. My winters are 4ply 255/70-18 @ 38 lbs, so 1/2" smaller, 1&3/16 narrower, & 13 lbs lighter. I don't notice...

In April I drove 4,000km on 3 tires 285/70-17 which are approximately 32.7" diameter, and 1 rear tire a 275/70-17 which is approximately 32.2" diameter. That translates to a difference of 8/32 compared to the 5/32 you are looking at. I had no problems, no warnings, and used 4x4 hi for almost 500...

Although I ordered 10 ply or E rated tires online, they shipped 8 ply or D rated tires. I didn't notice until a few days after having them installed. They are LT 285/70-17 Duratracs, and I run them at 39psi for day to day operations. I have no complaints with the ride quality, and plan on E...

That's just a disappointing lack of commitment. Get in there, make it obvious, and maintain eye contact. ;)

OMG that is funny. I always stare at people I see doing the nose dig, sometimes honk to get their attention too. Next time I am definitely going to start digging myself while staring. I can't wait!!!!! As for waving at Ranger owners, why just Rangers? Bikers wave at bikers, so all mid-size...

I use the remote start every time I drive the truck. If it's warm out, it gets gets 30-120 seconds or so as I walk to it and get settled. If it's mild cold out, it gets 3-5 minutes to warm the oil/water and get things flowing smoothly. If it's proper cold, it will get 10-15 minutes depending on...

I'm on 33s with lift, steel bumper, winch, roof rack, tonnneau racks and no tune. I'm still very happy with performance, and don't pay attention to MPG. When the tank gets low, I pull in the next convenient gas station and fill up. I don't normally look at the price, or how much went in. I use...

I generally don't go into 4H or 4L or rear locker, until it's almost needed. Casually rolling along a gravel road in 4wd only adds wear to parts, tires and reduces fuel efficiency. Doing 60mph on the same gravel road in the rain, 4H is worthwhile. It also depends if you are alone or with a...
