  1. Welp I’m out!

    I knew this was going to happen soon but couldn’t pass up this killer used truck market. Commuting 70 miles a day the Ranger was good but 23mpg could be better. So I added to our Mazda family and traded in on a 2015 Mazda 3. Paid $30,000 2 years and 31,300 miles ago for the Ranger and got...
  2. Onboard air system install

    Alright so had one of these Viair on board air setups on a old f-150 and I went wild with it. 15 gallon air tank, quick connects front and rear, custom air bags with leveling valve, air horn, gauge in cab for tank pressure and gauge in cab for pressure the leveling valve was putting to the air...
  3. Carvana is paying big $$

    I’ve read a few discussions on here about people selling their used cars to Carvana. Just for fun I tried it with my Ranger and they offered me $27,000 for my 19’ XL 4x4 with 30,000 miles. I paid $30,000 out the door for it 2 years ago. Kinda tempting but I do love the truck still so probably...
  4. Pulled the cab on my Ranger..

    Well.. kinda ?
  5. Speedometer reading fast 10+mph

    Drove to work today and thought wow I’m flying down the road. Sure enough I came to a stop and my speedometer says I’m going about 11 mph. The digital speedometer is accurate at least. I didn’t know these used a speedometer cable. I’m assuming it jumped a tooth or something
  6. WTB Factory Grey Wheels

    Lookin for factory wheels like these guys if anybody has some take offs they want to sell located in Redding CA but I travel to Bay Area for work often.
  7. Off-roading in Northern Northern CA

    Did a quick overnight off-road trip with some friends up at Chappie OHV Park in Redding CA and Shasta Dam. Drove up the mountain to “Hang-glider Hill” in some wet and muddy weather. Was a lot of fun and with 15 psi in the tires the Crosswind mud terrains did exceptionally well! Of course any...
  8. 80’s Ranger Camper Shell..

    I got old Ranger from a friend with no engine or tranny to cut in half and make a trailer out of it. Then I started thinking about pulling the shell off it, made a few measurements and decided I would slide it on to see how close or not it would be. It’s about a inch or so too narrow in the...
  9. Neato picture

    Getting dumped on up here in Shingletown California and snapped a pretty neat picture. I’m bored so I mine as well share it lol
  10. DIY Herculiner Bed Liner

    Hey guys, I’m a poor man and bought a XL 4x4 so of course I had to do my own bed liner. It was about $70 and a few hours labor. Turned out pretty decent though, still gotta touch it up. Of course I accidentally bought blue duct tape instead of masking tape so I didn’t mask anything but oh well.
  11. California Custom Headache Rack

    Built this for my Ranger last year and have decided i want to do a camper shell. Located around Redding CA. All steel and mig welded, but lightweight and strong. Probably weighs 70-80 lbs? Best part about this rack is endless tie down points. It’s great. Asking $1000
  12. Cheap exhaust

    Some of you may remember I was the guinea pig for a resonator delete. Although it makes a big difference on the mustang ecoboost, they apparently have very different exhaust systems because a resonator delete doesn’t do anything to the ranger. With my resonator deleted I decided to try and find...
  13. Cool tires, lame fuel economy

    Welllll... it was fun while it lasted. I put LT265/75r/16 Cooper ST Maxx tires on my Ranger. Looks awesome, tows great. But my power and fuel economy took a pretty solid ding. About 3-4mpg. So back to stock Bridgestone duelers and not be so cool.. Tires for sale if anybody is interested. local...
  14. Resonator Delete

    It’s here, the video you have all been waiting for! I literally can’t tell any difference. Oh well only $75 and it looks better
  15. Aftermarket bumpers?

    Hey guys, looking into a aftermarket bumper, or building my own. Anybody running the SVC or Addictive desert designs? Open to other options too
  16. Trucks finally finished

    Hey guys, I’m excited to say my truck build is done! Not that it’s anything too remarkable or custom but I’m happy! SVC leveling collars, Curt hitch and wiring, brake controller, custom headache rack, light bar facing forward, 2 rear facing lights, 16” aftermarket wheels, finished it off today...
  17. Off-roading/build thread

    Man this trucks rad! Certainly not the best off road but it ain’t the worst that’s for sure! When it starts really articulating the suspension is when it doesn’t like to get traction. So what I got is a base XL super cab 4x4. And I mean base! Not even cruise control, but I love it. If it was up...
  18. Why’s my spare nicer than my factory wheels

    I pulled my spare down because I’m going to mount it in my bed like my old F-150 and it’s way nicer than my stock steelies, I just thought it was funny
  19. Base model with no cruise

    Did anybody else get a bottom of the barrel base model like me? I love the simplicity of this truck and actually really like the stereo and gauge displays. I wouldn’t mind having cruise control but I wouldn’t use it much anyway
  20. Anybody using Rotella T6?

    Like many others I hopped on the bandwagon for using Rotella 5-40 synthetic diesel oil quite a while ago, anything from a high performance KTM dirt bike to the lawn mower to anything that takes engine oil. Anybody else plan on using Rotella? Pics of my beloved basic Ranger for fun
