I'm an aftermarket wheel newb, and I may be coming into a set of Black Rhino wheels soon. I've pretty much narrowed it down to two different style wheels from Black Rhino; the Armory and the Arsenal. Stage 3 motorsports put a set of the Armory wheels on their SEMA Ranger in 17x9.5 with a 6mm...

This is probably stupid and well know by other people but... Wow! I've owned my Ranger since 2019 and I've never noticed this! The gear your in is displayed to the left of the in dash screen on the XLT. It was pretty interesting watching how short of a time it spends in any gear during...

Please, please, please consider clicking this link and voting for my Ranger (John Battersby). You'll have to enter your email and then confirm the email they send you. And if you haven't checked them out yet, Tread magazine is pretty legit...

Oops! At least it was fixable!

I'm at about 25,000 miles on my 2019 Ford Ranger XLT FX4. This thing has seen a good enough amount of off-roading and has so far been a super reliable truck. I know I can look up service intervals in the owner's manual, but I'm looking for real world advice on what I should consider having...

I "inherited" a Troy Bilt 5500 watt generator (model 01919) with the home we purchased in Florida. With hurricane season knocking on the door, I figured it would be best to get this thing up and running. I use the term "inherited" loosely. The previous owners of the home didn't take care of...

I worked for just over a month as a service writer in the area my wife and I relocated to in Florida (from the ATL area) and I got to see some neat stuff. But, the wife and I discussed it and the job wasn't for me, as much as I enjoyed working around cars and trucks. And, the coworkers were...

Because of the attention the 303 Graphene has been getting around here, I figured I'd try it out. I didn't use it on my Ranger, but I figured I'd report back with my impressions regardless in case it was helpful to a fellow Ranger owner. I started out Monday by cleaning up my detailing stuff...

So I just moved to bright, sunny Florida, and the way my truck is parked in the driveway - well, the sun rises right in front of it and passes over the top. It's just blasting sun and heat through the windshield almost all day. I want a good sunshade to put in that thing to keep the sun and...

Just curious (and maybe a touch concerned) that my exhaust tip has black soot around the outside of the tip and inside of it. Issue or just normal for a turbo vehicle?

I was looking through some old photos and I came across some neat stuff. First, I took this back in 2015 in Sydney. I fell in love with the 4-door Rangers back then when I saw them all over in Australia! And then, this was actually my old UC police vehicle. I was in an unmarked Crown Vic...

Should I expect any problems with my setup and a 6x12 U-haul trailer. (Like this:) My biggest concern is my vehicles weight the way it's set up. I do have Eibach shocks and an Autoleaf add-a-leaf kit on the rear. The trailer is below my vehicle's capabilities stock, I'm just wondering how...

It looks like my wife and I may be relocating from Marietta, GA to Boca Raton, FL - and because of that we've started looking for a home on Zillow. Most of the homes we've looked at are in HOA/country club communities, and I've started poking around and reading some the HOA rules. One home we...

I'm running the Eibach Protruck lift on my 2019 Ranger set to 3.75" up front (it sits about 3.5" higher with the weight of the stuff on the front of the truck). I know this is a lot of lift for an IFS but it has been working out pretty nicely off road. I do have a diff. drop kit for the front...

I've got a diff drop sitting in a box at home and I'm about to start looking at getting some shop time to get it installed. I'm wondering what the pros and cons of a diff drop are for those with experience with them. Here is the one I've got...

I had posted about having a grinding feeling in the rear brakes, and having planned on changing the pads, as they were on the thin side. Well, I was really damn surprised with what I found. But let me start by saying my truck only has 19,261 miles on it, and the grinding symptom didn't show up...

I'm curious if anybody here has done a brake job on their trucks and if there were any special tricks required to complete the job. I ask because sometimes with my 2014 Mustang, with the electrically assisted braking, there is a requirement to purge air from the system using software. I...

The past couple of errands I've driven my Ranger out for, I've felt and heard not-so-good noises from my brakes. It sounds like one of them is dragging while not under braking, and upon applying the brakes I can feel some sort of grinding and it's getting worse. It "feels" and sounds like the...

Here is a video one of our local Ranger guys shot, this past weekend on our Ranger trail ride day. Please considering sub'ing to his channel! He's a young buck looking to get his channel some subscribers and I think he's starting out on the right foot. For those who don't know my truck, it's...
