SoCal Folks, I'm planning on a trip down to the SD area in June with the family, and would like to explore some off-road trails that are fun/scenic, and suitable for a day-long visit - any recommendations?
My 2019 FX4 is lifted 1.5 inches, 32" M/Ts, no-winch, with an experienced off-road...
A Mojave Road trip is being planned for the weekend of 10/22~10/24, 2021. We will stage in/near Needles, and hit the trail on Friday morning (10/22). Three driving days and two dispersed-camping nights. Total mileage is approximately 140 miles, with avg. traveling speed of 15~20 mph. We will...
The CEL came on today, at 11,489 miles.
The phone app indicates the #2 injector circuit being the culprit, while my ODBII scanner pulled the F02F0 code, and attributed the fault to the #3 injector circuit (see attached photo).
I don't know when my truck was built (it's a '19, purchased last...
After cancellation of a number of events, the Cal4Wheel organization (the same people who put up the Winter FunFest) has deemed its annual High Sierra Poker Run safe enough to run - two days of wheeling around Shaver Lake, including one of my favorite trails, Bald Mountain (two versions over two...
I'm under the impression that to activate the FX4 rear-diff. locker, the truck has to be stopped and shifted into neutral (same with de-activation); am I wrong? I'm unsure as other 4x4 systems seem capable of doing this on the fly, include an F-150.
A few friends and I decided to take this morning off and make a quick run to Hollister Hills SVRA. The friend brought his '97 Land Rover Defender 90, while I was in my trusty Ranger. The weather was excellent, in the '60s, and the trails were slightly damp from yesterday's rain, with little...
I've been on this run (in Northern California's Grass Valley area) twice now, and have always had a blast, and met wonderful offroading folks. I'm going again this coming January with the family, and it'd be the first time in the snow for the Ranger - any other Bay Area Rangers wanna come out to...
Has anyone mounted an air compressor on his/her Ranger yet? If so, where on the truck, and did you route a switch into the cab?
I have a small ARB (CKMA12) that I mostly used to air up my tires after runs, which fit in the engine compartment of the old truck; as the Ranger has a pretty stuffed...
Just came across this article on the Expedition Portal website - just what I've been waiting for. A full OME offroad suspension kit down the road would be excellent:

Hello Moderators,
I've been enjoying the 5G forums a great deal, even though I've yet to buy my Ranger (for sure later this year, a Lariat FX4).
I was wondering you would consider setting up a 4x4/Offroad forum, for those of us who are interested in taking their trucks off-pavement, onto dirt...
