I'm leveled on the Pro Truck stage 2 kit, which has the sport dampers in the rear. About a week ago, I towed a 7x14 single axle utility trailer hauling a Can Am Ryker, probably getting close to 3000 pounds.
Two months prior, I pulled a 6x9 U Haul utility trailer loaded with furniture, probably...
Hi Blueshift,
I would start by taking a deep breath. I can see being on edge a bit following the holidays, so just take a deep breath.
Everything is A-OK based on your photos. As long as your coolant overflow isn't bubbling, or your oil looks like a Peanut Butter milkshake, you're golden...
Thanks Dave. Thankfully not moving (at least I hope not, I just moved back to the tip of the Front Range from metro Denver back in October.....) but just headed back following the holidays.
And I think my graphene will need a boost when back in Denver Senor Scorpion. This winter has been...
No worries! Thanks for checking in Phil.
Personally, I'm shocked this happened, but grateful that my work schedule necessitated checking things over yesterday ahead of my departure. Even more grateful that Future Ford was able to get me in on such short notice, and that they got it warrantied...
HI Phil,
Wouldn't say anything super out of the ordinary in terms of usage. Some mild-medium off roading occasionally. Mostly daily driving with some inclimate weather in the process. Latest bout of inclimate weather being coming down Donner Summit from Reno NV during the Atmospheric River...
On today's episode of "What did I do with my Ranger today?" I need to give a big shout out to Future Ford in Roseville CA....
They're booked out well into February but were able to sneak my truck in for a last minute look at my front suspension end.
Tech took a look, confirmed my passenger...
On today's issue of "What did you do with your ranger?", it is once again a case of what happened yesterday....
Still in California, ready to go back to Colorado... Start my road trip pre checks since I have to work this week and discover my passenger side outer tie rod is PUKING grease ?. So...
@RangerPNW is 100% right here. See, Ford gave us a metric crap ton of wheel arch to play with, however they decided to take part of it away with the crash bars.
I'm not opposed to the crash bars, I'm opposed to Fords crash bars, and I would highly recommend installing a set of low intrusion...
Welcome to the forum! You'll soon learn we're a bunch of filthy reprobates here ?
Also, don't listen to that @AzScorpion guy if you want your bank account to stay in the green. It all starts with the tailgate damper and spirals from there........
Can't say for certain. I know I was having blow by issues with the Semi Synthetic Motorcraft which is justifying the switch. If the Penn Plat shears in 5k miles (don't trust 10k changes), Motul is my next option. I can get Motorcraft filters for $4 so if that continues I guess I can justify the...
The problem isn't your oil filter, or changing viscosity. It's Mobil 1 being Mobil 1.....
I know I am going to catch A TON of flack for that comment, but I stand behind it. It's well known in the Subaru community that Mobil 1 sheers down from a 5w-30 to a 5w-20 in 3000 miles. Granted Subarus...
I have a hard time recommending Optima batteries right now. Back in the early 2000s, when Johnson Controls first bought them out, they were great, but the last 10 years, the quality has gone down hill.
For reference, my buddy had a yellow top deep cycle last a year in his Subaru, I had a red...
I love my mother to death, but unlike my father and I, couldn't wrap her mind around riding a motorcycle. So.... She bought a Can-Am Ryker.
Well, with 182 miles on it, it went BACK to the dealership for a VSS Fault and the ranger towed it down
Side note, for anyone looking at a Ryker, I...
I can't say specifically unfortunately..... Bought it from a guy on one of the Facebook groups for $75. I did however tie the lights into my drl circuit by splicing in off the driver's side turn signal bulb.....
I know Amazon and EBay have grills just like this one. One way to tell its a clone...
TFL buying a Ranger doesn't surprise me.
I work with a friend of Andre's, and had the pleasure of parking with him/his Tesla swapped F100, and his buddy/4 door Bronco at the Adam's Polishes Denver North Cars & Coffee back in, I think, September. I remember talking to Andre decently at length...
BFG KO2s hands down.
Problem with mud terrains, is they get eaten bad while road driving, so mileage isn't the greatest. All Terrains get much better mileage, but the trade off is they pack up with crap on the trails.
The KO2s are my personal pick, but the Falken Wildpeak ATs are another good...
I call the CO Front Range home, and was in the immediate firing line for the initial arctic blast..... Picked a good time to visit family ?
I'm in a townhouse with neighbors to the left, right, and directly behind me. I imagine if there was anything internally wrong, my neighbors would've been...
Not today, but the last couple of weeks I have been in California....
Raptor grill with grill lights:
Eibach Pro truck Stage 2 Leveling Kit (Didn't get install photos but here are the goods):
Also hard wired in my Uniden R3:
Got an oil change slated before taking the truck back to...
Well,
Trying to find a Tacoma below MSRP in Colorado is like trying to find a C-Clip that flew off the back of a Subaru Wastegate. Add in USED Tacomas going for over NEW, in early 2022, and that went out the window quick.
I'm also a tuner at heart, so having the 2.3 Econoboom was a blessing...
In case it hasn't been mentioned (because we're 8 pages in and I have the attention span span of approximately 13 microseco..... Oh look a squirrel), but don't go alone if you can help it, have a plan, and don't be afraid to turn around if you are unsure/don't feel safe. Your skills will improve...
