  1. Variable height tailgate support

    So I built a drawer system for the back of my ranger last fall, and I wanted to be able to keep the tailgate open so that the end of the tailgate is at the new height of the bottom of the box (including the drawer) https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/drawer-system-for-2020.26573/ So I was...
  2. Homemade metal box cover

    ;) That there's an old sohc cb750 chopper I'm building. I reworked (raked) the frame and the cleaned up the top end of the engine, longer swingarm and springer, with harley controls. Now I'm working on the foot controls, and the electrical - installing electronic ignition (in place of points)...
  3. Homemade metal box cover

    Lol, help yourself, just lmk if you want a higher res version ;) I am definitely satisfied with the result, but if I were to do it again, I think would make v2 differently.
  4. Homemade metal box cover

    Yeah, I think that's a pretty fair estimate.
  5. sync & android auto repeatedly disconnecting

    I considered that if I wasn't able to find a wireless charger that worked in the USB port, but luckily I did, and was able to avoid the extra wires. Thanks for the suggestion.
  6. sync & android auto repeatedly disconnecting

    So it's been another 4 or 5 days, and the new setup has been bulletproof. Zero issues. I solved the spotify problem by uninstalling it, and then reinstalling it on my phone. (I think when I removed all the cached Android Auto files, it probably messed up it's installation). It worked fine...
  7. Homemade metal box cover

    I'm sorry, but I'm really not confident in my ability to estimate the weight. I answered another question in here about the weight. I can say that the lids weigh about 40lbs each. The frame without the lids isn't very heavy.
  8. Homemade metal box cover

    My skills are tenacity and perseverance. It's surprising how far they will take you. (sometimes in the wrong direction, but dammit you'll get there). :crazy:
  9. Homemade metal box cover

    My 14yr old son and I easily picked it up by the side rails to move it off the saw horses and put it on the truck. It wouldn't be light to move for one person, but it would definitely be possible. The biggest problem would be the dimensions. It's awkward to move because of it's size. I used...
  10. Homemade metal box cover

    So I got my ranger last fall, and was looking at the hard tonneau covers (like the diamondback covers) and they cost a fortune. (I am in Canada and the cost is amplified here by exchange rates, exorbitant shipping, and duties). So I decided that I would try to make my own. It's been an...
  11. sync & android auto repeatedly disconnecting

    Yes, that is exactly what I would suggest. (To try everything I tried if they can). If there is some step(s) they could not do, then leave that one out and do the rest of them. From an engineering perspective: The source of my theoretical buddies problem might not be the same as mine. If he...
  12. sync & android auto repeatedly disconnecting

    I know what you mean, but that theory only holds true when you're trying to find the cause of the problem, not when you're just trying to fix it. Lol.
  13. sync & android auto repeatedly disconnecting

    Ok, so here's an update (in addition to the things I've already tried): - I used compressed air and blew out the connector - I went through my phone and configured a few things: - I set Android Auto (AA) to 'never sleep' - I cleared all of the cached data for AA, which effectively reset...
  14. sync & android auto repeatedly disconnecting

    Thanks for that, I ordered one of these yesterday and just got it today, I'm resetting everything and will give it a shot. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CH31RMC3
  15. sync & android auto repeatedly disconnecting

    I have a 2020 Ranger Lariat, and am having the most frustrating problem between my phone and Android auto in my truck. The truck keeps disconnecting. Sometimes it lasts 5 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes, but it almost never goes longer than that without disconnecting. Things I've tried: My first...
  16. Let's see some DIY Stake rails/wooden side rails

    I sense some pretty conclusive assumptions in your statement that are... well, frankly they're baloney. I can concieve of ways to easily fix higher sides to the box using the type of clamps that one might use to attach a cap (aka:"topper" for some). I can also think of a way to make a tall...
  17. Let's see some DIY Stake rails/wooden side rails

    These are all good points about the firewood and overloading the truck, but I'm still interested to see any wood box extenders for lighter more voluminous loads (like brush).
  18. Drawer System for 2020

    Just finished up the drawer system for my 2020 Ranger. I'm pleased with the result. A combination of 3/4" square tube lattice with 3/4" pressure treated plywood means no discernable deviation when I jump around on the center of it. The drawer is also suspended, and waterproof on the top so that...
  19. Crooked truck

    It is not lifted or levelled. I agree, I will get the alignment checked. Thanks Phil
