I do plan on contacting ADD and asking them about this. Maybe they can improve it to where this won’t happen in the future. Since I didn’t install this bumper I’m not sure if the brackets supplied with the bumpers were used or anything like that. Maybe someone that installed them can chime in...
Right!! I’m glad I didn’t spend the money buying and that’s what disappoints me about it. It could had been my fault but the size of the brackets holding it to the truck don’t seem thick enough to be using those recovery points. I need to invest ina hitch recovery bracket for shackles.
Ever since I got my ranger I’ve had the Badland Apex 12k winch I kept from my superduty. I had it in a hitch cradle on that truck and was looking a ways to mount to my ranger using my existing Westin Pro Mod front bumper.
I looked at the hidden winch mount options that I’ve seen available...
Yep it’s till bolts. The mounting brackets for the bumper are basically folded in half. I hadn’t paid much attention to them before but the mounts seem pretty thin for a bumper to have shackle mounts welded in.
Who all has the ADD stealth fighter rear bumper? Have you used the d ring mounts at all with it? I bought my truck used and it had the bumper already installed. Tonight while out doing a little snow wheeling I had to pull out a friend in his TRD Pro 4 Runner. Printed my soft shackle through the...
does sand mode automatically put you in 4wd? I hate when the RSC kicks in when I’m blasting through the desert sliding and having a great time then the trucks sounds like it’s shutting itself and throws me into the dash lol ?
Yea man! Let’s get together. I wanna meet fellow ranger owners lol ?
I wish I was around more snow!! I love playing in it!! Good tires I believe go a long way for snow!
I agree with you as well as a novice may be worth playing it safe and shifting to 4h early until you learn the truck. I know some areas that area steep where I’ll need it I’ll go ahead and shift at the bottom. I go up to flag any chance I get when it snows. That snow was kinda weird and it may...
I'll add to the mix.... I stay in 2Hi until it no longer gets me where I'm trying to go then i put in 4H. I dont have a locker on my truck and it has surprised me on more than one occasion that the truck will do it computer magic and keep both rear tires spinning as it needs. I will disagree...
see… first time you’ve seen anyone post about the deavers and and explaining how they get more travel but yet you try to state “facts” on shit you know nothing about! Why do you do that? Spreading misinformation about other types of suspensions you’ve never ran before or seen in person…. Just...
Only 9 years? No i don't have the slightest clue how vehicle suspension works...:rolleyes: I honestly get a kick out of some of your condescending replies to people on here.
I've only built a couple offroad vehicles and been wrenching for roughly 18ish years. Current project that's been kinda...
I'm just curious what you are basing these "facts" on. The benefit of thinner lower rate leafs in a pack gives a better ride quality and also allows them the flex up and down better. Now these rangers may have something else the could limit that down travel as I'm not 100% sure on that prt as of...
I guess we will just see the numbers once I get them in hand. APG and other companies that go to a shorter rear bumpstop use a factory raptor bump stop. Don't believe in an actual lift... some people may not want to gain any more height than what they have. Deaver offers a softer riding more...
So you believe that you lose travel with the deaver? Are you just considering losing the up travel since the leaf pack is overall taller than the stock setup? I'm sure you are gaining down travel with the new leaf pack.
Either way I'm about to order some deaver leafs and Icon 2.5 PB CDCV rear...
Deaver does use a thinner leaf combined with 9 or 10 leafs per spring to offer a progressive softer ride quality while still maintaining weight capacity.
"A higher leaf count spring allows the use of thinner leaf material that yields a more flexible progressive leaf stack, or pyramid, producing...
