  1. Perimeter Alarm Plus

    So, as I am taking a road trip to Iowa in May I wanted the alarm upgraded, so with some advice from @Scottlane1171 I installed the perimeter plus from Ford. I thought there would be some setup involved but no, just install the OBD11 adapter, drill a hole for the LED, slide the box into the kick...
  2. WTH Ford??

    Just read a piece that says the new Ford Mustang Mach-E will no longer come with a charging cord????? Seems Ford wants to add $500 for the cord? Really?? Read it here..
  3. iWatch app

    As a new iWatch user I was surprised to see I am able to lock/unlock/start my Ranger from the watch without digging out my phone and opening the Fordpass app.
  4. Tow issue!! Almost bit the big one.

    Anyone else have this issue? Hooked up the Ranger to tow it to the coast for a week of camping, thing towed terrible, pushing the RV left and right, thought the tow bar was coming loose and almost missed a curve, pucker factor for sure. Pulled over at the first wide spot and checked everything...
  5. Deep sleep mode??

    So I have had my truck go into deep sleep mode a few times when it sat for about 2 weeks or so, requiring a key cycle to wake up the remote options. I installed a built in 2A trickle charger to prevent this...... I thought. 12 Days on the charger and the truck goes into deep sleep, so I guess...
  6. First time off road with the Ranger!

    OK, first, not to serious of a trip. Second is the video is off of my dash cam so not the best. Ignore comments made by spouse as I was to lazy to remove all audio. I was very pleased with the trucks performance off road, well mannered and made it look easy, only a couple of dicey spots that the...

  8. Ford Threatens Dealerships.

    Ford has webinar and sends out letter threatening Dealerships on F-150 Lightning. Should have done this for the Bronco. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ford-threatens-dealers-wont-send-171821933.html
  9. Coilover install time

    Just a question, how many hours should a Fox or Eibach coilover install take without issues, local suspension shop quoted me a price but I think its high unless their hourly rate is very high.
  10. Well.... I screwed up!

    I was installing the ditch light brackets, and just as I was taking off the hood retention nut my wife bounces into the garage and asked me a question. My multi-tasking skills must be slipping as I dropped the nut and it went down between the master cylinder and engine &*^%$#!!. I have a spare...
  11. Service Manual

    Anyone interested in the Ranger Service Manual? I have the complete manual in .PDF format from a friend. I would post the D/L link but that might violate forum rules, not sure. Admin, if it's OK to post the link let me know, if this post is verboten you are welcome to nuke it. Please PM the...
  12. Remote Switch for Lights

    So as a retired LEO I have mounted many emergency lights in my POV, all were a PIA to wire the controller in the cab. There are solutions out there but most are very expensive. I have dealt with Strobes-N-More for years for lighting solutions so took a look at what they are offering. They have a...

  15. Best portable Air Compressor?

    I have a superflow for my RV that's to small for the 19.5" tires, so will move that to the truck, and get a new one for the RV, which one is best, the Superflow MV-90, or the Smittybuilt 2781?. Anyone with either chime in, and does the Superflow have a auto cut off? I have read conflicting...
  16. Drivers door speaker not working.

    So I noticed the driver's door speaker wasn't working, tweeter or mid. As the truck is very new, only 200 miles, and right after getting it I had to go back east for a month so I am not sure if it ever worked or just went out. Turnes out the guy on the assembly line was pressed for time and did...
  17. Ranger Growing on me!

    OK, truth be told I only bought the Ranger as a make do vehicle until my Bronco gets here next Spring. I needed something I could tow with my M/H, so under 5K lbs, had to have decent off road capabilities, comfortable, with some 'spunk'. This actually leaves out a lot of the market. I originally...

    So hello everyone, Jesse here with a new '21 Ranger FX4 Off Road, I purchased this to replace a vehicle I tow with my RV. Planning bigger tires, a little 2" lift, sliders, bed liner & cover, and whatnot. Looking forward to all of the great information available here. I am in NorCal and a long...
