Here’s a fun question: you get an unexpected $1000. Maybe you won it at the casino, maybe you sold a kidney, maybe it’s another round of money from the government meant to stimulate the economy. Doesn’t matter how you got it, it’s a surplus you didn’t plan for and it’s burning a hole in your...

I’d been going back and forth on how modded I wanted my truck to look. On one hand, I think Ford nailed it, and I’m glad it doesn’t look like a baby F-150. I could make it pretty capable, and still look like any other Ranger out there. But I really like the look of the Raptor grille too, which...

The Shrockworks certainly look the best to me. How’s the fitment on the driver’s side? I see some people reporting it’s close to the pinch weld, others reporting they’ve fixed the design, and others saying they haven’t.

Oh yeah. It’s the best way to do it. The only way, really. Makes it easier to pack around inside the trucks. Also helps to contain all of the floof.

While the truck was in the shop, I found my self using the wife’s 2020 Explorer to get around, since it’s just too hot for the motorcycle. One of the features it has that I was disappointed in Ranger not having, was auto folding mirrors. Power fold is cool, but I don’t see myself remembering...

I’m definitely glad it’s back home! And now that I know V2 works, I am looking at options on how to best get it to the masses. Because of issues with shipping 5’ long steel poles, I’ll likely just sell the mounts, and let individuals pick up the top rail from Home Depot or Lowes themselves. 10’...

The father of 2 young kids, they bought me nothing for Father’s Day. My wife did, however. Seems not all women like Bluto. Or she just wants to keep the kids safe from a slamming tailgate. Who knows? Regardless, I was now the owner of a tailgate damper. @AzScorpion would be proud! Las Vegas...

I said in the first post, we’d get to this. And I alluded to it in the last post too. Now it’s time. Long work days sucks. Especially when it’s the first day on a new schedule. You finally get to go home, and you’re tired and you just want to go home. So, you take shortcuts. It’s a risk, and...

With a tonneau cover installed, you quickly find the need to have something that’ll keep items from sliding to the front of the bed. On my F-150, I had a a folding bed extender. It could flip into the bed to act as a divider, and could collapse into the cavity next to the wheel hump when I...

Wouldn’t be so bad if our upstairs A/C didn’t die on us yesterday. Brought out our meat thermometer to my daughter’s room…90.7° That’s right, it’s hotter inside our house at night, than it is in many of your places in the day!!

I picked it up from the body shop!!!!!! :handsinair::party: Still have to bring it back sometime around the end of the month when the black plastic cap that sits on the driver’s side bed rail comes in. It’s held in place by the tonneau cover and only a few of the retaining tabs. But, since...

Seems like in each of these posts, I describe a different vehicle I’ve owned. I wonder how much longer I’ll keep that up. This post, at least. My last truck was an 2007 F-150 Supercab. Great truck and, despite its size, I was surprising capable at parking it in the narrow spots and alleyways of...

People complain about the dated, cheap, and plain interior of these trucks, but I think it’s nicer than some of the competition. And for me, there’s little bits that remind me of earlier vehicles I’ve owned. The Lariat cluster looks identical to the Fusion my wife and I bought as a wedding gift...

In general, yes LT (Light Truck) tires are designed for heavy towing and feature heavier body plies, bigger beads, more tread depth and an overall heavy-duty design made for higher inflation pressures for heavier loads. They may ride a bit harsher than P tires when the truck is empty or lightly...

I’m from all over, so I’ve pretty much heard it all, but I tend to use “shell” or “camper shell” most. As far as drinks go, there’s only Coke…

Since I’ll end up with my truck back soon, I’ve been ordering things lately. This was waiting for me when I came home from work. Weird thing is, I ordered both front and rear sets at the same time, from the same vendor, and only the front showed up today. Rear’s scheduled for tomorrow

Late to the thread, but I hate careless idiots too! Especially when they’re me! Had only had my truck for a little over a month, when I did this to it on the way home after a 12+ hour shift. Was going too fast, wanting to get home, and took an s-turn as if I had been in my Mustang. Learned real...

I bought the Ford branded one, so whichever version that is. And by “bought” I mean “redeemed 2 new vehicles worth of Ford Pass points on,” which basically made it free for me. Yes, I did the install myself, mostly so I could put the knob where I wanted. Factory location would’ve been hidden...

I’ve only had the truck for 3 months, and it’s been in the shop for almost 2 of them. Still got a little time to go before I get it back. And then I’ve gotta learn how to drive on-road before I can start driving off-road! :crackup:

True, but it still happens, otherwise airplanes wouldn’t fly. When air hits a wing, it deflects above and below it. That deflection causes its speed to change As far as the pinhole grill goes, if a car is sitting at a red light, there’s no air flow over the radiators, which is one of the...
