  1. 2020 Ford Ranger FX4 Lariat leveling and ride improvement

    Is that a misprint or did you go to rear coil-overs? Photos and details if you did please.
  2. Yesterday I did the dumbest thing I've ever done

    Back in the 90s I worked in a body shop with a buddy. He was masking a Pontiac Tempest which was being painted with the hood open, so masked it with the prop rod in place. Shortly after he wanted the hood closed, and thought it was cylinders, so he pulled down and folded one side of the hood...
  3. Welp, add me to the list.

    Happy it wasn't worse and nobody was hurt. Sadly that's probably still many thousands to repair, and a wait period for new parts. The good news is, it's still derivable while you wait. Good luck.
  4. Long Range America Tank

    Just because it's a 6g Ranger, doesn't mean there won't be compatible parts. According to Ford, the 2024 NA Ranger will have 18.8 gallon fuel tank, which may well be the exact tank as the 5G Ranger, and may be why LRA is working on getting it to market again.
  5. What’s everyone doing with the switch for their ditch lights?

    Pick a spot on the dash plastic, by your left or right knee is easy access for install and use. Drill a hole, insert switch, attach wires. Alternately if you don't want to drill the plastic. Attach a piece of aluminum sheet or plastic sheet to the bottom edge of the dash, bolt it to the metal...
  6. 16" tire selection madness for an indecisive owner

    In my experience; -Scorpions are crap, and I wouldn't put them on my vehicle. -I like Falken Tires, but have no experience with MT01. -Duratracs are my favorite DD/off-road tire. I'd prefer E rated over C rated if you are doing off-road, I don't find there is as much noise or MPG difference...
  7. My first new vehicle

    Congrats Sam, I'm also in the same club. My Ranger is my first ever new vehicle, and I got it weeks before my 50th.
  8. Tremor VS Waldoch Rampage

    Personally in your position, I'd be aiming at a Lariat Tremor with tow package and bed liner. If you don't think it's got enough clearance or tire, add a level/lift, and swap to 255/80-17 which should mount without any other mods or crash bar removal.
  9. Tremor VS Waldoch Rampage

    The first question is what do you want the truck to do? All those trucks have very different purposes, and most are just for show. Do you want to go off-road, street performance, park'n'polish, or daily driver with moderate MPG, and occasional truck type activities?
  10. Is There A Quiet Roof Rack?

    I have the Prinsu and don't notice much if any noise because of it.
  11. Help, Quick Question: torque spec wheel lug nuts

    No need for the breaker bar, just use the fish scale on the T-wrench directly. Set the T-wrench to XX pounds, then use the fish scale to lift the bar and see what weight it breaks at, adjust for length. Alternately you can do the same with a bathroom scale and a floor jack. Set the wrench on...
  12. Bed Rail Weight Limit?

    Photos?
  13. Trailer lights always on while towing?

    In day time I prefer by tail lights to be off on a trailer, because most trailer lights are somewhere between crap and just okay. The difference between tail lights and brake lights is often not significant, so the transition is sometimes missed. By running the tail lights off, the brake lights...
  14. Trailer lights always on while towing?

    My 2020 Ranger and my friend's 2022 Ranger both run the second option listed of auto DRL during the day but not tail lights, and full running lights (and head lights) automatic at dark. This was the factory set up for both, we haven't made changes in forscan (I have since, but only because I...
  15. Help, Quick Question: torque spec wheel lug nuts

    I run a Viair 400p, with a 4-1 air-line to fill/deflate all 4 tires simultaneously. Awesome set-up.
  16. Insstalling running board lights

    My RTR grille lights harness has a male and female of that connector, which connects inline on the back of the headlight. That seems like a lot of extra work and cost, compared to simply splicing into 2 wires though.
  17. Help, Quick Question: torque spec wheel lug nuts

    Before the incredible battery impact guns we have now, I always carried a 24" breaker and proper torque wrench. Now for day to day driving I only carry my impact gun/socket (Factory kit in case that fails, or Ford roadside if both fail). My Dewalt impact gun on medium setting and a light touch...
  18. Bed Rail Weight Limit?

    Diamondback cover for Ranger lists capacity at 400lbs for the SE and 1600lbs for the HD. HD https://diamondbackcovers.com/products/diamondback-hd-ford-ranger?variant=32674415280227&chosenFinish=Rugged_Black SE https://diamondbackcovers.com/en-ca/products/diamondbackse?variant=28905652553
  19. Snow Plow on a 2019 Ranger?

    Really there is no truck that is designed for ploughing (or any other service vehicle either) but there is nothing inherently complex about fitting one for that purpose. Solid frame and 4x4 is really all that is required, additional weight may not be needed depending on amount and type of work.
  20. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Those fender clips are ignorant. I knew they were there, used the proper tool, was very careful and still managed to break one. Actually, worse than breaking a clip, I broke the fender trim itself where the clip attaches. Not only a terrible design using those clips, but making the clips...
