I was definitely going faster than I should have, but you're absolutely right: they wouldn't make a difference. But you know about cars, my wife doesn't. And when she's telling me no more purchases that I don't need, I have to find creative ways to justify things. "Well you see hon, since shocks...

The mount for the passenger side was still on the printer when it happened (each side takes about 20 hours to print) so I haven’t been able to test it with the poles in place yet. And yeah, it looks painful, but surprisingly the initial estimate from the body shop wasn’t that bad. Only $6400 of...

I never liked the idea of that first one being pushing outward against the unsupported bed sides. Always seemed to me that a fit secure enough to be useful would mean potentially warping the sheet metal of the bed, since there’s nothing behind it. And while there’s some good examples of the 2x6...

Pretty certain the enhancements provided by the damper would've been enough to prevent my mishap the other day...

Weird. I had something ship to me via Fedex and showed something similar for those same days. Wonder if it’s something FedEx-wide? For the record, Chandler is about 20 miles from Phoenix.

This was over by the speedway, coming heading towards I-15 from Nellis

Your stock Lariat looks better than my Lariat right now. I decided to relocate the rear axle… Seriously regret that. 0/10 do not recommend that mod.:LOL: Everyone has their own preference. I also like the stock look. But I tend to like that on most vehicles. It’s fitting for me, because mine’s...

Yeah, only thing hurt is my pride. That’s exactly what happened. Funny thing is, when someone from one of the offices came to see what happened, they said they had just finished repairing damage to the other pole from someone who hit it last week!

Yeah, uh…about that... No car, just a yellow pole cemented into the ground: Coming from the main road onto a street in a commercial center that bypasses some of the traffic I face on the commute home. It’s this weird S-turn swerve, and I just clipped the bollard. Front end missed it...

I wrecked it.

Love my X4S. Looks good, doesn’t block the rear window, plenty secure, and roughly the same price as any of the hard fold options. Make sure you talk to someone at wherever you buy your cover from. Vendors can usually sell them at around 15-20% lower than what’s listed on the website.

The 10-speed in our 2020 Explorer started leaking within the first 2-3000 miles. Turned out to be an issue with the transmission cooler line. Seemed to be a common issue with the early builds. Dealer fixed it under warranty without hassle. Gave me a loaner, since the service advisor thought...

I ordered my panels from Builtright about 2 weeks ago. A day or two later, they emailed me a link to a page with backorder info. https://builtrightind.com/pages/backorder-status Seems like they update it every other week or so. I like that they're taking the time to communicate with their...

Found an empty parking spot next to a prior-gen Ranger. Had to take advantage of the situation and take a couple of pictures. Looks like a toy compared to the current generation.

Found the dual-lamp antenna setup in this thread: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/anyone-installing-cb-ham-radio-and-or-nmo-antenna-mount-on-your-new-ranger.1625/post-68960 Pretty slick!

I’ll probably end up with the Diode Dynamics one, although the one from Ford Ranger Lifts isn’t bad, only more expensive. I forget who it was, I’ll have to search through the forums for it, but someone mounted their antenna and dual lamps on a single ditch light bracket. It can definitely be done.

That looks like the one I have for my 2/70 antenna. I picked it up on eBay. I don’t like how it makes a bigger hood gap on that side. Eventually, when I get a CB, I’ll probably switch to the ditch light brackets to mount them on. But until then, spending $80-130 for a couple of pieces of bent...

You guys made me curious enough to check what they’d offer me on my truck I bought a month ago: 2020 Lariat with FX4, sport appearance, technology, and tow packages, plus bedliner and hard tonneau. ~1800 miles. Offered me just over $39K. I paid $38K plus taxes for it. Crazy!!!

For those of you that are running larger tires, how do you reset the speedometer to account for the larger tire diameters? I don’t imagine it’s like the old days where you could just swap out the gear on the tranny end of the speed cable. Is it just a forscan change, or are you guys just...

True, but you're paying for the durability and security of an aluminum solid cover. It's not really different in price than any of the hard solid-folds. The Bak MX4 that a lot of people get is listed at around $1000, and the equally common Extang Solid-Fold is listed at $909. If you want to talk...
