Had a chance to get out to the wilderness the past few days and do some truck stuff. It was muddy in spots since it rained for about 48 straight hours. Took one unmaintained road to the top of a mountain at about 3800 ft. Pics don't do it justice. It was barely one vehicle wide, and kinda...

Well, while installing the leveling kit, I torqued up the cv pretty badly. Had to pull it, take it apart, repair it, and reinsert. The truck has started to make a little noise on the side. I was under it today doing something else (ok - installing a inch), and I noticed cv joint grease on the...

I have a white light bar at the very top of the grill, that does not block any of the radiator. I have an amber one in the big hole in the bottom above the skid plate. This week, I will be installing a behind the bumper winch, which means the amber is toast. So, the question is: where to...

I'm thinking of hanging a pair of 5 inch LED bars at the corners of the back bumpers. I don't want them to be reverse lights necessarily, but switched in the cab. I am thinking I'd home run power all the way to the engine bay to tie into an auxiliary fuse box up there. Not sure how this will...

Had the chance to get out today to the National Forest. For those in the area, I drove Nimblewill Gap (FS 28-1), Winding Stair Gap (FS 77), and Coopers Gap (FS 42). Here's a few pics. Was cold up there. The one pic on the rock wall is all icycles. Not sure if you can see it or not in the...

Looking online at specs, I see bed capacity of 1560. Looking at the door sticker, I see crew and cargo capacity of 1406. I was looking at a bed camper that weights 1150-1300, depending on which source I believe. Add propane and a battery, and that's another 80 lbs. I was thinking that would...

I wasn't sure where to post this exactly, but the USFS has fixed their Visitor Map app for the Android. You can now download version 1.2.6, which will allow you to download offline maps for use when you don't have cell service. They have road conditions, road types, rec areas, some camping...

I do appreciate your help in picking out some tires, and in setting me up at my local store to get them installed. Install date of the Cooper AT3 XLT's (265/70/18) is next Friday when I get back from a work trip. Thanks once again. Will be sure to post a pic once they're on.

So, I am looking at getting the Auxbeam or similar. In the past, I just wired lights to the battery with an inline fuse, so using a relay box is new to me, but seems much more convenient. So I have a few questions for those who know this better than I do: - It looks as though only one cable...

Anyone done this? I did a search, but didn't see anything. Only $110, but looks like a real PITA to install. I think I like the look better than many other light bars though. LED Light | Bumper Mount | 6" Black Slimline Pair | Ford Ranger (19-23) | Rough Country

Well, some of you may have seen my "difficulties" thread in the initial install, where I pulled out a cv axle. I pulled the axle out, fixed the cv, and put the axle back in. Well, after going through that, the whole thing is finally installed. The most significant PITA in that was that, for...

How is the Ford factory nav? I am considering doing an APIM swap to add factory Nav, but was wondering how those of you with it like it. In my Jeep, I always used phone based Google Maps because the maps in the Jeep were old, and the directions always seemed off. Didn't consider traffic...

So, I have done every bit of work on my cars for 20 years. I've never met a repair I couldn't do, including engine seals, axle replacements, on and on. This has covered mostly BMWs, but lately a Jeep and a Mercedes. So - I have cried uncle on this coilover install, and will call a tow truck...
