If the tire is snug and not making noises when you shake it then it's good. No need to tighten it more then what it is.
You need to get under the truck put eyes and hands on everything from back to front. Don't just grab and shake. You'd be suprised that the noise can be replicated by a little...
Consensus is get the bilstein 5100s or 4600 if you aren't going to do a lift. Eibach is aslo another good choice.
I ordered a set of eibach stage 2r few days ago.. Way over kill for my pavement princess 2wd. It comes with the springs installed and thatll make the install easier.
Is 10k the intial estimate? Because if so, that means it's possible there is more damage. A reputable shop will request authorization for time to tear it down a bit to see what's under there.
The 4x4 and 2wd part numbers for the stage 2 and 2r are the same. It shows it on the eibach website. At one point it was not listed for the 2wd. Some vendors have not updated their listing.
The install will be like any other front shock/spring install, so no worries there. Just gotta get it...
I finally decided to go ahead and order shocks for my Ranger. I decided to go with the eibach stage 2 ..because overkill for my needs but whatever. I like the idea of having a complete package. So I message Hotshot Offroad for a price and he says $1000 shipped. He then asks me if I'd be...
But I read on the internet that gauges go bad... What if mine is bad? How can I make sure it's really working?
I love this truck but all these possible issues that might never happen are really stressing me out!
I just checked the air in my tires. All of them were at 35 and one was at 34...
I've been reading that If you run it out of gas it just stops and won't crank! Has anyone ran into this issue? Any idea on how to prevent this from happening?
I'm just already stressed out from running out of washer fluid and I don't want another issue to worry about!
I'm at 104k with stock shocks... I need to replace them ASAP but I'm on the fence. Idk if I want to get the bilsteins and swap the springs or fork over the money for a set of eibachs with springs already installed to make the install easier.
I installed the same exhaust and I knew what I was getting. I got it off a member here for $125 lnib.. Figured why not. If mine does the same I'll just buy a new muffler. If I were buying new I would have spent more for the stainless steal version.
When I took the stock exhaust off, I started...
Auto start stop was one of the reasons for me buying a tuner the first month owning my ranger. I use my ranger to visit my customers and make multiple stops a day... Between 10 to 15 stops. Pushing the button got old very fast.
The added power and better transmission manners were an added plus.
No reason to take anything off other then the coil pack and spark plug. It's not a complicated process at all but do take your time. Don't be rough with the sparkplugs, the tiniest crack in the porcelain can cause issues. Don't bear down on them when installing and make sure the threads are...
I love my tailgate pad. I just throw my mtb up into the bed and off I go. When I take the kids to ride it holds all 5 mtb and I still got enough room for our gear. That's just a one day trip though.
Keep in mind that the 60lb bike might feel a little heavier after a day of riding.
A good bike...
