The Ranger Raptor is my dream trade 3-4 years down the road. @Kristina is my spirit animal.

You're 100% correct - I forget that this is the Simple Green I keep in my shop at home. I should have mentioned. https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Green-Extreme-Aircraft-Precision/dp/B081D5R6T9 They haven't changed the formula but they do sell a formula for aluminum. I fill up my own spray bottles...

With all of the lift work you've done - CV joints come to mind as a potential source of vibration. Have you inspected yours? Did you replace those with the lift work or use the stock ones?

@Grumpaw - please don't report me to the EPA ?

Welcome Matt - great looking Ranger!

A little anecdote for you; when my son was about 1 year old and eating lots of solid snacks bought him a set of 10 100% corn-based bio plastic snack bowls. He's about to turn 5 and we just threw the last one away from breaking apart. After a few years they became so brittle that whenever one...

I think the only reason to use a GoPro instead of a proper dash cam is if you already own a GoPro and absolutely need a dash cam immediately. It's definitely possible to use but you're going to find a number of limitations; lack of 12v wiring options, GoPro's shut off at high temperatures...

If you'd like to educate yourself on 2H, 4H vs 4L this is a great thread to read in your spare time: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/off-roading-order-of-operations.22857/ Many excellent videos posted as well.

I can see after an hour of piano playing and 0 tips your poor daughter left for greener pastures.

Crow if you throw some (a bottle) of dawn for dishes on your driveway and hit it with a brush for a minute or two before you power wash you will not even know it happened.

The way I am reading this is they sold the fewest units in Q4 of 2023 which makes sense considering they stopped making them in Q2 (?) of 2023 and the 2024 Ranger was announced in Q3 of 2023. Wake me up if they can't sell 2024's off the lot whenever they show up.

' It's when you don't notice this and the gasket is still stuck to the truck. You put a new filter on and gasket + gasket surprisingly = not a gasket.

I'd recommend you start with Simple Green and work your way up to brake cleaner if you happen to find some that managed to get caked on somehow. It's fresh oil - simple green should blast it right off. Purple power etches aluminum - don't use that.

One of the biggest reasons why folks spring for the 4k resolution models is; if you look at comparison videos online (link to one here,) you'll see that the biggest selling point is being able to read license plates at all times of day for hit and run situations. A dash cam in general is a...

I'm not a metallurgist but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night - it had to be a harmonic vibration that caused this to snap like this right? It looks like all the cut out pieces created too much of a weak area around the rigid bolt. In hindsight what would you say the odds are that...

This seems like kind of a hassle but as a troubleshooter, (I've got to be careful saying that in the same thread as Airline Tech,) I would just carry both keys on me. If the issues stop immediately and don't come back for a good week or so then I suppose you know somebody is probably using the...

With all of the stories about a child or loved one finding an unsecured firearm in a vehicle and harming themselves or someone else - good firearm safety move here if nothing else.

Do you have a loaner? I'm presuming no. Considering the 26th was 2 weeks ago on Tuesday I think you're well within reason to call them back Monday and say unless it's up on a rack this very moment I want it back and I want an appointment set up to return. On this scale it shouldn't be a...

Hey LaBalbe - rough luck but I'm glad to see you're not stranded.
