Just seeing this thread for the first time. this is interesting... My truck has been like this on both sides since as long as I can remember. Also, at one point I removed them for an add-a-leaf, put them back straight, torqued down, pins lined up, and now they're off again. Doesn't seem like...

Just curious, did you try any kind of compressed air or lubricant in the AC pulley? wondering if it just got some sand or something in it that could be flushed out.

selling the setup from my truck - tan softopper and black powder coated custom rack, and if you want, the aluminum rack on top as well. the softopper definitely shows signs of use, but overall is still very solid. rack is in good shape but has some scuffs and scratches. $1500, +$200 for the...

It depends so much on the individual tire too. Every aspect can have a major difference in how your vehicle rides, it's not just size or ply dependent. 285 vs 255 I don't think you'd really notice a big difference if everything else is equal. If anything the steering will just be heavier on the...

This looks super nice, gonna have to look into that more ?

I've got all sorts of weird ideas going on in my head that would be too hard to explain, but I definitely agree with you about having the rails on the side. I'm even thinking now about doing a short rack over just part of the bed, and leaving the rear open... I dunno. Too many ideas

That looks really nice, thanks. I was kinda picturing mounting things to it, which wouldn't work with a retractable, but I'm not sure if I'd want to drill into a new expensive cover anyway, so that might actually work.

I see lots of posts about tonneau/rack combos, but does anyone have a heavy duty tonneau that doubles as a rack? something you can set things on a strap stuff to? I've been looking at diamondback covers and they seem great, but that's the only thing I can find like that. anyone know of any...

yeah, I still carry a hi-lift, and will use it to change a tire if I need, but it's definitely not the most stable solution for changing a tire, and needs to be approached with caution.

well I just switched to Yokohama MT g003 in 255/85r16, they are listed at 33.2" diameter, and fit perfectly with the crash bars in place - stock steel wheels. coming from 235/85 cooper ST maXX (which are just 5 lbs lighter) The truck feels noticeably heavier and more truck-like - less...

that actually looks pretty cool. Hi-lifts are terrible for changing tires anyway, so that would probably be a good option regardless.

true I would guess the entire ranger electrical/computer system is dependent on variable alternator, and swapping in a standard on/off type would probably cause the computer to throw a fit. And unrelated to that, Have any of you looked at the height of the alternator on other comparable 4WDs...

My only concern is that the 285 would be a touch too wide for the stock steelies? have you thought about 255/85r16 ?

honestly dude in that video is lucky he didn't flood the engine submerging the whole front end/grill like that. I've done plenty of water crossings in my truck, with water up at just about the door sills, and some small splashes over the hood, and haven't had any issues with my alternator

right on. excited to see this, looks like I might have a twin soon :like:

They've been great. after about 30k miles and not great alignment they're getting pretty low now on a pair of them, and just finally starting to make a little noise and vibrations. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy them again, though just out of curiosity I'll probably try something...

dude... regardless of how much your vehicle is lifted, or leveled, or whatever term you want to use, a lot of simply don't like the idea of the fuel tank being the first point of contact on the undercarriage. plus, feeling like you need to increase your ride height to offset a decrease in...

pop up tents are cool and super easy to set up (I used one for years) But you still have to worry about setting up your mattress and sleeping bags and stuff. One of the best part about a swag is that you roll it up with all that stuff inside it already, so when you get to camp you only have...

I didn't change the UCA's, and have had no trouble with the stock ones.

actually now that you mention that, the quicklane was the place that left the cooling system cap loose, so maybe the repair department there will be better. This crap I was dealing with today was at Larry H Miller, which doesn't have a quicklane.
