I love pre-emissions 911s, but there is a steep learning curve for new owners.

Another one for Ford fans. This is at Ford's Garage restaurant/bar in Cape Coral, FL.

I know what you mean. (not my car, but driving it was brutal and intimidating)

I like the creativity, even though the actual tool capacity is tiny.

I stopped at the dealer to buy an oil filter and saw this nicely-customized old pickup. BTW, the owner of this dealership has a beautiful red GT, which used to be parked in the dealership in an inflatable clear plastic enclosure.

Extremely Cold = Extremely Dry We are accustomed reports of Relative Humidity. Relative Humidity is a measure of how much water is in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount of water that the air can hold (saturation). In absolute terms, though, the capacity of air to hold...

Extremely cold = extremely dry.

Amen. LOL.

Never wrestle with a pig. You always end up covered with mud and pig shit, and the pig, having nothing better to do, enjoys it.

Back in my Jeep CJ days, it was somewhat common for the combination of oversized tires and power steering to exert enough leverage on the front leaf spring shackles to break the shackle at the welds. I don’t remember hearing of an occasion where this happened with smaller than 33” tires. I ran...

This line of thinking assumes the existence and availability of an actual new frame, and all other non-reusable parts needed for installation. Nothing so far indicates to me that repair parts will ever be in good supply for this generation of Rangers, which is, ultimately, a decision-making...

Why the nit-picking? According to carsalesbase.com, Ford sold a total of 285,812 Rangers in the USA market from 2019-2021. As of today, the Forum Statistics at the bottom of the main forum page shows 12,214 members. Some members here own, or have owned, more than one Ranger. Some members...

I think that you could chase your tail on this for a long time. Tire plies used to be a real thing, counting the number of layers of material in the tire. Now, they are only mentioned as an approximate equivalent to load-range ratings. There is no standardized testing for puncture-resistance...

This sounds like a good candidate for a rear sway bar. I know that Hellwig makes one, but have no personal experience to contribute.

Speaking of first trucks, Mine was a ‘72 Chevy 1/2 ton short bed. 305 with 4 speed. I traded a banjo for it. Yes, a banjo! Drove it for three years, then traded it back to the original owner for the very same banjo. Simple days…

Tire size is the limitation. All factory wheels fit fine.

I have two sets of wheels, each with OE Ford TPMS sensors. It takes about two miles of driving for the Ranger to sense the presence of a new sensor at any mounted wheel position. A fifth sensor in the spare wheel/tire doesn't not interfere with the mounted wheel, and can be rotated-in for...

Every Jeep owner can benefit from a trailer for long highway trips. I was amazed how much difference it made, especially from the squirrelly CJ-5. The trailer really improves the drive. Rent one and take it for a highway drive. HMMWVs are the same, BTW.

I can’t complain about Tire Rack, or Discount Tire. Both (soon to be one company, BTW) provide quality products at good prices. Most local tire stores will match their pricing, but don’t always have the fresh tires that you get from them. Just recently, I turned down the obsolete model of...
