  1. 18" OEM wheels vs 17" on FX4

    I have a chance to buy brand new take off 18-inch High-Gloss Black-Painted Wheels (from the black appearance package) and tires for my FX4 with the 17" silver wheels. Tires are the same Hankook ATMs but 265/60-18 vs 265/65-17. Anyone have insights? Tire rack specs state the 18 are 0.7" narrower...
  2. Anyone run Fox 2.0 or FPP kit at stock ride height?

    Looking for impressions of anyone running the Ford or Fox 2.0 leveling kits with little to no leveling, which will require turning down the spring preload to keep the rake. Is it worth the effort to use the Fox front struts with no lift or would just the Fox rear shocks take care of most of the...
  3. Oil dilution in Mustang or RS 2.3L ecoboosts?

    I've changed oil 2x in my Ranger and a bunch of times for two 1.6 EB (Focus ST and Escape) and a 1.5 EB (Escape) and only the Ranger has oil dilution issues. All are DI so why only the Ranger? I was hoping to go 5K between oil changes but I'm sticking with 4K it's that bad. Do the other 2.3L...
  4. Upgraded Fox "Tuned by Ford Performance" 2.0?

    I called my local dealer for the Ford Fox kit and they won't be available until 8/15 as they were upgraded, new part # is M-18000-RA. Does anyone by chance have this and know what's been upgraded? Any deals around on the old version M-18000-R?
  5. SuperCab rear seat area storage mods?

    What have others done to to rear seating area on a SCab for storage options besides remove the seat cushions? I'm thinking of making my own rear seat delete panels to cover up the seat backs, and glue carpet to the hard plastic so stuff doesn't slide around as easily back there. The area is...
  6. Anyone bolt their topper down?

    I was contemplating bolting down my new topper and just noticed (only had truck for 5 days) that the plastic bed rail protectors are held on via holes in the bed rail. This would make bolting a topper on a lot easier. I hate those C clamps which always seem to get in the way. Plus it's a...
  7. Changing Code on Keyless Entry Pad - How to

    I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but all the posts I've read lead me to believe only a dealer can change the code. You can do it yourself, it's the same as other Ford vehicles. I ordered the keyless pad with my XLT but it's the same stick on you can buy. Step 1 Enter the preset...
  8. Potential issues with lifting/leveling the front end?

    From what I know there are 2 ways to lift/level a vehicle with factory length struts. #1. A longer spring or a spring preload collar. This effectively takes up the up the top-out travel to raise the height but maintains the overall stroke travel of the shock. Over rough terrain you risk...
  9. Aftermarket heated seat kits?

    I was too cheap to upgrade to the heated seats but they are a must have where I live. Anyone DIY one of these kits, or had someone install them? I have a cheap heated seat pad that works great but don't like the look or hassle of them...
  10. Bedrug pricing?

    Looking to get the full BedRug classic bed liner (6' bed) but everyone lists the MSRP of $439 w/ free shipping. I'm guessing that's a requirement for on-line sales. Are there cheaper options?
  11. Options for flexible mud flaps?

    I'd like some real flaps, not the molded snow and mud catchers. The OEM rubber ones are outrageously expensive. So far I like the RokBlokz but not sure of what size to get with the FX4 package (stock tires). They don't say what size they are in the pics, but they could be longer. Still no...
  12. Best price for WeatherTech liners supercab full set ?

    My truck gets assembled tomorrow so it's time to buy stuff. The only full set (front and rear) of WeatherTech floor liners I can find for the Supercab is at their website which is $197 with shipping (Panda doesn't list the rears). That's the full retail price. Anyone find them elsewhere...
  13. Wheel well bump protection with just a bed mat?

    On my old 94 S-10 ZR2 I used moulded rubber wheel bump protectors that with a rubber bed mat, plastic tailgate liner and a modified rubber tailgate liner for the bulkhead provided all the bed protection needed under a topper. I cannot remember where I got the moulded rubber bump protection...
  14. Bedrug classic vs impact, costs?

    What the general opinion on the Bedrug impact? Is it more slippery than the classic for cargo? It's only available in the mat for the 6' bed though. My local topper guy wants $475 installed for the full classic liner. Since I have a topper I'm thinking of just the mat and tailgate cover...
  15. Adding lights to topper, power source for keyless?

    Looking to add LED rope light(s) to a topper when I get it (and get my truck). Dealer wants $100 but it looks easy to do myself. Just wondering what power source will they use with the existing topper dome light and will it be powered full time? Same power source for the keyless entry for the...
  16. Adding a rear sliding window after the fact?

    I found some videos on-line that show how to do this pretty cheap, anyone done this to your Ranger? I really want one but the only way is to get the 302a package and it still costs around $250 more, which is around the price of rear sliders in other trucks. I'd also like a wider slider too if...
