ARB interviewed me for their newsletter! https://arbusa.com/arb-experiences/your-stories/john-battersby/

I've got the factory Ford drop-in bedliner in my truck, and I'm considering the Wolf Haus Off Road power point for the bed, for my truck. I use a SmittyBilt 5.65 CFM tire inflator, and I have to pop the hood to hook it to the battery to use it. I'm thinking dropping my tailgate and setting the...

I just arrived in New Jersey after 13 hrs on the road. Tomorrow I'm getting new tires 275/70R17 put on my truck. I brought my laptop and cable for FORScan just in case. Can anybody give me a simple step by step on how to adjust my tire size in FORScan? I'm really new to it and won't have time to...

I've got a set of tires lined up in New Jersey to go on the truck at a Ford dealer in the morning. I'm going with Falken Wildpeak A/T3w 275/70R17 on my stock wheels. I'm lifted 3.5" up front. Should I expect any issues?

I just went out and checked the air pressure in my tires ahead of a trip I've got coming up and I saw these cracks in the tread. The cracking is kind of uniform throughout al of the tread and tires. Sidewalls look good. Stock Duratrac FX4 tires.

I just wanted to confirm our trucks are only supposed to have 30 lbs of air in the tires. I'm not home or I'd go out and check inside the door. For some reason I want to say I got the truck with 35 lbs. in each tire. I've been airing down on trails from 35 lbs. to 25 lbs. and then airing...

I have just downloaded FORScan and I have the proper cable to connect to the truck. But, I have not clue where or how to start!!!! Any pointers? I'm interested in bambi mode, displaying the speed limit signs on the center console, and disabling the fake engine noise. Thank you for any pointers!

I have an XLT with the two USB outlets on the back-side of the center console and I'm thinking about upgrading it to be able to "through charge" a solar generator and power a portable fridge/freezer. Has anybody done this and if you have, is it plg-and-play? THANK YOU!

I was lucky to score an add-a-leaf kit already installed on some lightly used stock leaf packs. With the help of a good friend, we swapped the leaf packs and got rid of the slight negative rake my truck had. It was nice to use a lift to work on the truck. Replacement leaf pack with the...

I'm sorry if this has already been covered here, but I was wondering who all has had issues with their rear leaf springs. I've developed a fear of these things folding or straight up breaking on me! I personally know two people who have had their leaf spring flatten. One of those guys was...

So I write a food blog for the old Top Gear (now Grand Tour) guys on www.foodtribe.com . One of my recent articles was about building up a camp kitchen for overlanding with my Ranger and it made it to the top spot on FoodTribe's main page!

I've got a set of used AutoSpring Add-A-Leaves on hand. The problem is I don't have any instructions on how to install them. Does anybody have a copy of the instructions they could possibly share with me. I've emailed the company a couple weeks ago but haven't gotten a reply. Thank you!!!

Truck Stats: 2019 FX4 Suspension - Eibach Pro Truck Lift set to 3.75" up front (sitting at 3.5" with bumper weight) Wheels & Tires - Stock Engine - Safari Snorkel on stock intake I was pulling up out of a steep-ish driveway on Monday, making a right hand turn, and it sounded like my suspension...

A couple of people have expressed interest in this so I figured I'd do a thread on it. First, I will say I love it. It was easy to assemble and put on the truck. I am also thrilled it worked great with my bed cover. The clearance for the bed cover was absolutely perfect. We had to do some...

Yes!!! https://www.motor1.com/news/459826/ford-armored-assault-ranger-everest/ The armored Everest look pretty dope too!

I actually like it!!!! https://www.thedrive.com/news/31997/tuners-body-kit-gives-ford-ranger-the-f-150-raptor-treatment

I bought a used SmittyBilt Overlander tent this past weekend. It's in mostly nice condition with a couple of small flaws that I will need to fix. First off, it's got a little mildew on it in spots. I assume this is from not being properly aired out after a camping trip? I was planning on...

I'm curious if anybody has a dual battery setup in their Ranger for camping/overlanding. I'm going back and forth over a dual fuel 2000w/1800w generator/invertor or a dual battery setup with possible solar back-up charging. I'm also wondering what the stock alternator can handle as far as...

I'm considering a used SmittyBilt tent for my truck. I'm aiming towards the SmittyBilt offering because of price point and frequency of use. As much as I'd like to go with a CVT tent, I wont be using it with the frequency I'd really like to be using it. Who here has a SmittyBilt tent? How...

I don't have my Ranger with me at work or I'd run out and measure it myself. Can someone grab a tape measure and tell me what the inside width of the bed is from top rail to top rail. On a Tacoma it's 57".
