yeah we did all that. Lifted the tires and rotated the wheels. Grease came out in a uniform circle around the hose of the gun. I guess the videos I watched on how to do it the grease was much dirtier and easier to see what was new than when we did it. I also didn’t know if I was supposed to...

I had one but it was constantly a pain to get in the bed of the truck. Not a deal breaker but it was a factor. That and the departure angle gets all messed up and since I’m paranoid I never went over anything too sketchy but if you catch it hard you will rip it off. I eventually sold it and...

everything is relative in off-roading. Tincup is not where I’d send just anybody in a stock truck. I know it’s not the rubicon but it’s not an easy road in my opinion.

Thanks for the tips. I actually managed to warp my rotors on an old 4Runner and I wasn’t even towing years ago just from severe mountain driving and dumb braking so I have always been paranoid since. nice views!

Anybody have some knowledge to share with me on greasing a wheel bearing on a teardrop trailer. This was my first attempt and it was kind of a messy disaster but I think I got it done. The grease came out the like it would supposed although it was hard to tell what was good grease and bad...

I have seen Subaru outbacks down trails that I wouldn’t take an unmodified truck. Well I mean I’ve seen a ford mustang on a, according to the park service, 4x4 high clearance only road. Some people are either richer, dumber or better drivers than me. To the OP. In my experience rear lockers are...

Ford’s unreliability must be based on the fact that a good portion of Ford owners just insane

what kind of temps in the tires and brakes are where you start to worry? The truth is Alaska isn’t really an off-road paradise the way like Utah is. There are so few roads and the ones that do exist are mostly used regularly so they are graded regularly. People up there talk about the Denali...

I have done the Alaska drive all the way up to the Arctic twice. PM me if you want any tips or questions. could you post or send me a link to the thermometer you use for the tires and brake rotors. I’ve been looking for something like that

Awesome. Hoping my new Ranger can do similar or better on a 2000 lb tear drop.

Absolutely. If towing is your priority, or comfort, it makes more sense. But for me if I needed more towing then the 7500 of the ranger my choice was the 250 for a similar price but a IDAF level of towing and payload.

okay I confess maybe I don’t know what the difference between north and not north Ontario is. I’m not from there but without throwing anybody under the bus it was south is Sudbury and north of barrie.

correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the f150 crew cab 6 foot bed have only a 1700 lb payload rating. About the same as the ranger? obviously f150 is way more comfy in the back seat and tows more but also costs like 15k more. I built a 250 on the ford website when shopping myself that was...

my frustration has been the opposite. Truck manufacturers in America have focused on my mom, who is the majority of truck buyers. Terrified of dirt roads and using her full size truck for Costco runs. I’ve had trucks in Namibia and Georgia (country not state) and the build quality is just so...
