  1. Favorite Grill … ??

    For just a grill with no light consideration, this is my favorite. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F8PX18J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DS7KRHSG7CT2G0NA5P8V?_encodin All things considered the RTR Grille is my favorite because of the smoked accent lights. I have one in the garage ready for install...
  2. Extra fob in kitchen drawer

    I keep the extra fob in the truck, with battery removed. The battery is the console to replace my primary if it dies, or if I want to use the spare with full features. The fob itself does not "need" the battery to be effective. There is a physical key tucked inside it to manually open the lock...
  3. Front End Level With Coilovers Best Suited for Rear OEM Shock?

    Clearance is the lowest part of the truck, not the lowest part of the frame.
  4. For those of you with a matching full size spare…

    I have 6 summer tires on after market rims, and 4 winter tires on factory rims. All 10 have TPMS and the truck senses which wheels are on after a few miles of driving, while ignoring the rest, even when they are in the box of the truck.
  5. Full size 18" Steel Wheel for Spare Info

    So I'm kinda stuck here. I'd like to help, but not really understanding the goal. Why do you want to include it in rotation?
  6. Full size 18" Steel Wheel for Spare Info

    You want a black steelie mismatched rim to use in a 5 tire rotation schedule?
  7. Full size 18" Steel Wheel for Spare Info

    Our rims are 6 lug x 139.7mm +55 offset with 93.1mm center bore. You will find lots of rims with 139.7, some with +55 off set, but very, very few with 93.1 center. Given the option, I'd take an 18 spare rim to go with my 18 winter tires, but there's really no measurable negative to having an...
  8. Talk to me about rear mounted winches.

    Good for you!!! I am super jelly. Details? Mounting bracket? Underside or install pics?
  9. Diff Drop - Anybody here do one?

    There are multiple kits. Basic lift only, UCA kit, coilover kit, etc. I did this because it's all temp until the rest of the tuck is built. I wanted tires immediately so did a basic lift. Once everything is added full suspension replacement is my last step.
  10. Diff Drop - Anybody here do one?

    I told the dealer I wanted max lift with no diff drop or change to warranty. They did 3.5" BDS lift and said no diff drop required. I'm at ~15,000 miles with ~1000 miles on moderate off road trails. No noises, signs of wear or other problems. I'll do a good inspection in the spring when I...
  11. Full size 18" Steel Wheel for Spare Info

    Ford doesn't make a steelie 18 with this pattern, and very few other vehicles use the pattern either. I doubt very much you'll find one.
  12. Towing experience with 275/70/17 or 285/70/17?

    Changing the outside diameter unnecessarily, reduces efficacy of the comparison. Given equal diameter, additional sidewall gained from downsizing the rim, will not will not increase the foot print at lowered PSI more than the width lost.
  13. Costco says 265/70R17 will rub and won’t install them. Help.

    You're not alone boys, I get the WTF look all the time when I say buffets are repulsive. :puke:
  14. Towing experience with 275/70/17 or 285/70/17?

    Given similar diameter and usable rim sizes, increased sidewall will not increase foot print more than additional width. In theory it's possible, but not within the 1 inch of sidewall variable that is realistic for 16-18 rims of the Ranger.
  15. Need understanding?

    Only on a high traction surface that you would never engage a front locker. In any situation you would want to use it, there would be more than enough traction slip for functional steering.

    Thank you!
  17. Ford (Air Design) Hood Scoop

    They look great on the Ranger, nice job! I didn't realize they have exhaust ports at the rear, is it a flow-trough design? Could you post a pic of the rear, maybe from the driver's seat?
  18. My truck not so unique in the area anymore

    This is my Ranger. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Ranger is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. :giggle:
  19. My first rescue!

    There is no axle in a 91 Cutlass, so he only thought that's what he was doing.
  20. Hand wash vs car wash

    I've had mine since April and power washed it a dozen times or so in town. Power soap from the bottom up, power rinse from the top down, drive to dry.
