Hi OP, Here's the good news/bad news from my experience. Same exact symptoms. Ended up having the TSB performed, and was told my original driveline angle was like 7.2* and after the TSB its at 5.9* The truck drives better and no longer shutters from a stop. HOWEVER, I also was experiencing...

Sorry I should have clarified. Mine are the Ford "spare" steel rims that are 17x7.5. I think the offset is the same as the 16" steel wheel, but I could be wrong It seems like 265/70 is the most common size I keep seeing people come up with, so I think that's probably what I'm going to end up...

I have a set of identical looking steelies, but mine are 17x7.5 and I'm trying to determine the best size. Your fitment is exactly what I'm looking for on my stock suspension, either with Grabbers or Wildpeaks. Idk if you can help me with this answer, but if you are running 265/70 R17 on 17x7s...

Hey all, been a while since I posted, but been enjoying my Ranger thoroughly. Has about 5k on the odo now, and the only issues I have had were some panel alignment corrected free of charge, and needing to get my driveline shimmed under the TSB (mine was out at 7.2*, now sits at 5.9*). Now that...

As stated in the title, I am interested in buying a black version of the FX4 bash plate that was offered on some Black Appearance Package FX4s (as opposed to the regular silver one). They are impossible for me to find, so if anyone is selling one or knows where to find them, please let me know.

this is so helpful for me, thank you! it sounds like the Cape is the perfect place for me to check out. And it’s only an hour and a half to the Bourne Bridge from my house so definitely viable for a weekend trip. Looks like the first step is getting my MA overland permit

My current non-running project. Im no mechanic and while I know my way around a 302 and a 351, the 460 in the Lincoln has been kicking my butt lately. Hoping to get it running by Christmas. Also waiting on new rear disc brake calipers and those have been like hunting the holy grail. Thinking...

So glad I found this thread. I love wood accents. Now I feel like I'm in my Lincoln and get more than 10mpg!

I'm trying to be more proactive about planning some camping trips and finding places along the coast that allow overnight camping, preferably on the beach. I'm realizing this may be more difficult in New England than other parts of the East Coast. Anyone have any recommendations on spots that...

I think I am definitely in the minority here, when I say I like the "spartan" cab in my STX. Then again, my priorities are geared more towards the "less things to break" mentality since it's subjected to the terrors of a 4-year-old (RIP center console leather), but the rubber floors are a...

So far, I've noticed that the bottom rear corner of my driver front door sticks about 1/8" out from being flush with the rear door. It doesn't seem to affect the weatherstripping seal, as no water is getting by and there isn't any noticable increase in road noise. That and what appears to be a...

These pics make me excited to see my Cactus Grey in the snow lol

Welcome! I had a '87 Panther platform (Town Car) too. I'm thoroughly convinced '87 was the best year for that generation of Panther because that thing never let me down. I had to sell the Town Car a few years back when my kid was born and ended up with a '11 Crown Vic but it just wasn't the...

Welcome to Club Cactus, brotha

That's my roommates...let's just say we have a healthy competition going on :sunglasses: It'll be nice once I get my 17" steelies and AT tires on so we can tandem beach cruise this fall/winter/spring. The Taco is a nice truck for sure, but the low cab height, harsh brakes and the fact that his...

Installed the Gatorback mudflaps today. I really like them. They’ll look better once I get my different wheels and tires put on there. Thunderbird photo for extra credit ?

Wow thank you for all the replies! My first thought was that it was my boots but honestly my foot doesn’t touch that side of the hump, and judging from the white residue, it looks more like a drip down than a splash up, if that makes sense. I am going to bring it to the dealer next week and see...

Same boat here. All four tires read 41psi after dropping all 4 down to 34psi. After driving 10 miles they still read 41.

Today when I was getting into my Ranger after work, I noticed what appeared to be a mineral stain left by water dripping under the dashboard and down the side of the transmission hump, right up against the firewall. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue? I could also be mistaking the white...

Coming from my Crown Vic, even though it was a 2011, it had the same dash since like 2003. I was spoiled since mine had a digital mfi that I used for mpgs and a speedo, but it also had a tach and the fancy climate control (This was a huge upgrade from my previous '87 Town Car, where you got a...
