  1. Use a come-along for off road recovery?

    Yea I fully read your thing, you said it’s stupid and a waste of money. Lol. Being synthetic there is no inherent danger if using it inline with the vehicle like there is with steel wire or kinetic straps. Also most winches are still wired controllers with an ~8 foot wire which generally puts...
  2. Use a come-along for off road recovery?

    Such a limited view of others always being around, that a single winch can save you in all circumstances, and that nothing ever breaks. Think outside the box a little. I have a 12,000 Warn winch and I still carry the Bailey's come along because: 1 is none 2 is 1, and second pulling direction is...
  3. Use a come-along for off road recovery?

    These are the best I have ever used. I have a 12K winch and still carry my Bailey's line puller when going solo back country, or wheeling when no one else in the group has a winch. I haven't had to use it as a primary yet, but have used it to pull sideways and keep me from sliding off a shelf...
  4. Normal Mileage for Factory Brake Pads?

    I'm at 64200 KM (40,000 miles) I had to do rear brakes today. Admittedly I have a heavy foot, I drive fast and brake heavy as a result. I also have a heavy truck, with full steel skids plates throughout, steel sliders, steel front bumper, winch, bigger tires, and they are 8 ply. I also have a...
  5. Black lug nuts by Ford fit?

    Oh-Be-Juan would ask: Who's more the Bozo? The Bozo at the dealership who scratches them, or the Bozo who brings it to the Bozo at the dealership? LOL, jus' teasin cuz I like that OB-1 quote, ha ha.
  6. Turn signal lane change ... is this normal?

    That's how mine works too. A quick bump and it 3e flashes. If I hold for more than a bump, it flashes as long as I hold it then off right away. Whether that's less than 3 flashes or more than 3 flashes.
  7. Black lug nuts by Ford fit?

    Most lock nuts aren't worth the cost or effort to have. The average wheel thief targeting anything specific, will have the basic cheater tools to defeat the common lock nuts. Also, factory Ranger rims, really only fit Rangers and don't carry top end demand for thieves. If you have very...
  8. Black lug nuts by Ford fit?

    84658 are not the 64015 nuts. Look at the second image in this link it shows the straight side nuts in the 84658. https://shop.mcgard.com/black-cone-seat-wheel-installation-kit-for-6-lug-vehicles-m12-x-1-5-thread-size-set-of-20-lug-nuts-4-wheel-locks-1-key-and-key-storage-pouch 64015 are bulge...
  9. Payload?? How much can I dump in the bed?

    Pay load, shmay load. That number is only like, their opinion, man. LOL
  10. Engine Cover Kit Discontinued??

    Fook me, lol. I've never even looked in at mine, because I had the cover from factory. I thought it was only a problem for non cover motors. I parked outside for over a year too, and live in a snow belt. I bought new plugs a while back to be ready for the first change. I'm still only at 50,000...
  11. Engine Cover Kit Discontinued??

    Wait, you still get water in #4 even with a cover?
  12. Payload?? How much can I dump in the bed?

    Yes, which is why I said I was only noting the payload differences between models and packages, ie additonal weight of Screw vs Scab, or adding a tow package reduces the payload by the weight of the tow package.
  13. Payload?? How much can I dump in the bed?

    It's a little over 2/3 ton, but who's counting. I wasn't complaining that it wasn't enough, only noting the difference between various models and packages.
  14. Payload?? How much can I dump in the bed?

    A Lariat FX4 with tow package is only 1374 from the factory.
  15. Locker Engagement Video

    I generally don't have much use for Ronnie, but that was a decent summation. Front locker in particular is only for mud and sand, or very low speed crawling, and only until the direct obstacle is cleared. Any wheel spin with bounce on moderate traction is going to pop CVs far too often. I almost...
  16. Predictable increase of backcountry motor vehicle issues

    It's not just that they have more access, but they can carry more as well. A bad hiker will leave a bottle and some wrappers behind, a bad ATV can leave a lot of stuff they would never carry under their own muscle. I do a lot of back country canoe camping, which I'll go in bush for 10-30 days...
  17. Toolkit reccomendation

    When I am off-road where tow trucks can't get to me, I carry a tonne of tools. Full 1/4" & 3/8" & 1/2" socket set, plus extra extensions, specialty ratchet handles, 1/2" torque wrench, 18" Johnson bar, 1/2 impact gun (700lb breaking torque), impact sockets, extensions, flex joints, 4.5" grinder...
  18. fumoto plug

    I never used either before, but the Shrockworks skid plates I have are a PITA to remove for oil changes so I decided to get one. I looked at both Fumo and Vmax, then chose Fumo because it seems easier use without removing the plate. It's still waiting for install on my next oil change, which I'm...
  19. Update on Updating Sync

    I did the wifi thing too. I keep auto updates turned off in general, but turned it on and it started quickly. I left, came back twenty minutes later the truck was turned off. Turned it back on the DL continued. I came back 10 minutes later and it was re-booting, update complete. Went back in and...
  20. !

    March 2021 a Lariat FX4 with every option and Black Acc Package was $55K out the door. EDIT: I Meant to quote the pic of the Maverick at $56K with this post, but apparently quoted the wrong post lol.
