closing in on 58,000 miles so far pretty good. only "problem" was leaving the headlights on and killing the battery (if it's not on auto you can leave them on yes) and some vibration from unbalanced tires in the front that went away with a rotate and balance. Pretty sure uneven loading on road...

i have been using the smittybilt 2780 for some years on my last truck and the ranger. works very well and fast enough. I usually only use it on 2 tires but often in temps well over 100F and it has no problems. around $150 shipped. side note about rechargeable batteries for tools: you can...

so what we're saying here is : we're fine with men statutory raping women but if two gay dudes screw around and one of them is under 18, they should be labelled sex offenders for life. got it. Very odd conversation for a Ranger forum but ok/

pretty much same/ the dealer replaced mine before i bought it with 30K on it so that is one measure/ they replaced mine with stock and im 27K in and still pretty good. i drive with heavy loads on but mostly freeway and not a lot of hard braking. some dirt roads but mostly smooth freeway.

nice to not be the only one who likes the steel rims. my lady keeps saying she wants to upgrade and i keep saying we can't afford it and also /why/ i like the look of these and i dont have to worry about scratching them. maybe i'll see you out there sometime.... mine is only 2wd but i do a lot...

50/50.. i think these days most of the off roaders i see have on board compressors/ but once they air down they tend to go even faster, negating most of the safety benefit of airing down// but to your point yes, not airing down will definitely increase the chances of getting a flat from a sharp...

For most places a second spare is overkill BUT: any of us who go thru Death Valley back roads or similar desert like AZ will tell you a second spare is nearly essential. Some of these roads are famous for having sharp rocks that slice up tires. Ive been fortunate and it only happened to me once...

obviously you can get a better one if you spend more but im happy with this which wow/ is even cheaper now, less than $50. I dont use the rear cam it is not great. front cam will help in an accident, records the odd things we see on the freeway. Colors will be off in weird sunlight like sunset...

we see zero ads for it here in the Bay Area California. also nearly impossible to find one on a lot used, new is even more rare. occasionally a top of the line fully loaded one on a lot. /seems to me sales are down because production is down, the ones they make sure seem to get sold

huge thanks to BigBlue and others// did yet another oil change (yesterday) and it finally went smoothly. Searching "three jaw filter wrench" found me exactly what i needed. I might even try it without removing the wheel next time. What has been an absolute nightmare filter removal is now super...

for the people concerned this won't stop thieves: it obviously can't stop a thief who has any sort of time or determination but it is better than nothing. It's not a long term storage option but it might be good for running into a store real fast or at a friend's house parked in their driveway...

ok after some experimentation i have a couple notes/ like it says in the instructions you have to wait a Long time for the seatbelt dash lights to go off. my 19 xl has the small non touch screen What i found out the long way was first the lower white seatbelt light goes off/ you have to wait...

i think you can fix that in forscan (search the forum for forscan and you'll find tons of help). i got mine to stop chiming when i open doors while truck is running that way. thru forscan I was able to fix most of the seat belt noise but not all and this one drives me nuts because even though i...

Are you going to buy a 5th rim of your type? if not and if it doesnt matter, i can't say about mounting but to buy the rim go to EBAY! they have "take off" rims for $60. I am in a 2wd but i do a lot of long distance on dirt roads with sharp rocks so i sometimes carry a second spare just in case...

haha sorry i didnt take any/ was an ugly mess of bags that i had to cut open// concrete goes one place, bags go another... OrangeStreak's photos were way cooler than what i would have had... that's not only a big load but you get the bonus of worrying about cracking one// i'll add i also could...

carried another load of broken concrete (yesterday)this is second one in a couple weeks from 2 different clients, funny is it was the same weight, 1300 lbs on the dump scale. Factor in myself and my onboard gear, pretty close to 1700 lbs total on the truck. After years in an 86 nissan 720/ Wow...

if you are near a city that has one, battery specialty shops have always been very good to me. Our long time favorite retired but the replacement is just as good/ the people who have a shop that only sells batteries usually know their stuff and have low priced less heard of brands that last as...

ive got A Skullvibes "tactical seatback" on my passenger seat (got to love the name hahaha) and i love it.. i have a water bottle stashed in the top pocket i can reach from the driver's seat... very handy holds all kinds of stuff once i put my pouches on it but it might crowd a passenger a...

i had mine checked at 46,000 miles and they were still at 8mm, that is very little wear i think new is 9mm??. all 4 wheels were the same. at 54K now still seem fine. most of my driving is with a load on but on the freeway in light to no traffic, i rarely brake hard and it is dry here.

only if you are really dumb like me// while the truck will shut off all accs after 10 minutes, if you leave the headlights in the ON but NOT "auto" position, they will stay on until the battery is dead. somehow i walked away without noticing that it does ding like mad if you take out the keys...
