Hi Sid, Glad to see my fellow illuminator back! Where did you get the bumper extensions? Thanks! Jim

Thank you for your service too, Doc. Congratulations on the lengthy retirement!

Yeah, I was thinking of going a step further on the full tough guy approach... removing the tires. Who needs them? Just the wheels. They are metal and will probably last longer than the tires anyway. Plus, I can spin the wheels much easier and do donuts on dry pavement. The whole tire thing...

I just found this thread now. I do have a turbo from CR Performance and I am tuned by 5Star. I am quite happy with it. I am nowhere near $2,500 though. I bought a turbo and sent it to their shop to be worked on. You can get a new turbo from Levittown for about $480, send it to their shop...

Double the price... I am scared for everyone involved. As discussed previously, two is just too dangerous for one truck!

We need Sid to weigh in on the Damper Shamed thread. That is more contentious than politics!

Maybe I am wrong, which my wife frequently assures me, but the damper doesn't make the tailgate lighter on the way up. Instead it only slows the tailgate on the way down.

Tailgate dampers will be classics like John Hughes movies. Someday we all will reminisce about our tailgate dampers and the good times we had with them. Just like our glory days watching Whitesnake videos on MTV.

+5 hp! Sweet!

This gives me the chills!

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I drove about 200 miles this weekend. I noticed my fuel mileage improved by 2.3 mpg and my zero-to-60 time improved by 0.7 seconds. I was trying to figure out what I did differently and then I realized it while I was reading this response...

I just realized... The gallery photos of my truck do not include a picture of my damper! I was also wondering if anyone has made their truck doubly awesome with two dampers? It is quite possible however that with two dampers when opening the tailgate the truck would instead flip over on top of...

Yeah, that is the reason I put one on my last truck. An F150 tailgate would have done a number on the head of a toddler.

Genius! Shouldn't we get a green energy tax break for installing such energy management systems?

I am a patent attorney... So I thought I would look to see if there are any interesting patents on tailgate dampers. Ford has an interesting one here. https://patents.google.com/patent/US7654600 GM has one here. https://patents.google.com/patent/US7850219 Another that looks similar to the...

By the way, I have a damper on my tailgate and a toilet seat....

That looks awesome and really nice job applying it.

Hi Benny, I am looking for part 14B596 for the Ranger. The full number might be GB5Z-14B596-AC. It is the 4wd selector with the Terrain Management button in the middle. Would you be able to help and provide a discount code? Thanks in advance for considering. Jim

AFE downpipe with the cat and the Borla exhaust with the double pipe and black tips. I added a Borla resonator as well as it was really loud. Sounds good now. Lots of power! Super fun to drive. I want to just drive it all the time. Problem is I work from home and other than church, I don’t have...
