when I had my scrape last year, where the other car bumped my passenger side and damaged the front fender, and both doors on that side, from what I understand, replacing the door was not hard. But the plate on the bottom of the doors was slightly pushed in and that was a major job to fix. I...

2014 Triumph Thunderbird Storm 1700 2013 Triumph Speed Triple RR 1050 2019 Ford Ranger 2wd STX Supercab

2017 Audi A4. Great car, but I needed a truck and the Ranger is more practical.

no idea. The previous owner did a lot of stupid stuff in this truck.

I would like to replace a few parts of my console (2019 Supercab, 2wd). The previous owner evidently used an overly-aggressive cleaning agent and it stripped off the finish. I am tired of it looking this way and I would like to make it look new again. Does anyone have a good source for this...

I finally got my truck back! After 2 1/2 months in lockup (the collision center), it is back home. The original estimate was about $7k, but ended up being $18k. If they had estimated accurately, they should have totaled it out (with the $3,000 rental car bill, it was almost $21,000). They...

Big day today! I got a text that my truck is going to be ready- finally after waiting so long. If you may recall from the beginning of this thread, my accident was on October 23rd. I waited forever and they finally had me drop it off on Feb. 1st for a 14-day repair. Now after 2 1/2 months of it...

She's better. Not 100%, but significantly better than back in the fall. Thanks for asking.

I thought I'd update this thread- my accident was on Oct 23rd. The other driver's insurance accepted full liability. So I took it to Ford Collision and they ordered parts. And we waited and waited. While I waited, I found some takeoffs and upgraded my wheels and tires. In addition to the body...

I got CounterAct, mainly because that was the brand in stock at my local auto parts store and I wanted to do this while I have time off work this week and I wanted to do it at home, instead of going to a shop. I guess we’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the advice.

I just picked up a set of 17" Magnetic wheels with stock Bridgestone Dueler A/T's as takeoffs from another forum member (Thanks NurseNeil!) and I am thinking of mounting them myself. I have always had my tires balanced and mounted at shops with weights, but I've been reading about balance beads...

Thanks guys. I just needed to vent. Things will be better this week. I was watching a football game and my team is so stressful to watch (game was tied 28-28 in the 3rd qtr) and I just needed to take a walk. After a few miles of pavement and listening to some music, I feel better. Maybe...

It has been a horrible week- work sucks, an old friend died from a heart attack, my wife was in the hospital a few weeks ago and is now home but needs constant care and is headed back to the hospital for surgery next week, discipline problems with my oldest kid, and now... I was in an accident...

This was my my 1990 Ranger XLT 2wd reg cab. I got it my junior year of college in 1992 and kept it for 10 years. It was a huge mistake to sell it, as I was truckless for about 8 years before I bought my Dad's old GMC Sierra work truck from him (which I just sent my son to college with). I'm...

Any chance you could post a photo of your truck with the box? Thanks! I'm thinking of adding one to mine and having some difficulty finding one that I like at a decent price. I have a white STX with the 6' bed, so I don't want the sloped sides if I can avoid it. I like the look of a tonneau...

I love my supercab. I needed the longer bed to be able to haul lumber and my motorcycles, so a Crew cab wouldn't have worked for me. Plus, my kids are teens now and we have a minivan if the whole family needs to ride together. I haven't taken the back seats out yet, but I'm thinking about it...

Back in pre-COVID times, I used to be on the road quite a bit and would listen to audio books while I drove. I sometimes would get through three or four full-length books a week. If you don't want to pay for them (which can get expensive if you're paying per book), check out your local library...

a remote garage door opener is a cheap alternative. I wish I had Homelink, but not having it is not a big deal. I don't know if a phone is a good alternative- I have that option, too, but it seems too slow (have to stop at top of the driveway, pull up app, wait for it to connect, then open...

I voted Magnetic, too. I have the silver XLT wheels on mine, but if I see a good deal on magnetic takeoffs pop up locally, I might have to try to get them.
