  1. Where to draw power for ham radio install

    What’s involved in increasing the SOC? More reserve on the battery would be nice.
  2. Where to draw power for ham radio install

    I put a six position fuse block in mine so I could add extra options later- right now it’s running the radio and my cell booster, later it’ll power my fridge and accessories in the bed like additional lighting and maybe my compressor.
  3. Where to draw power for ham radio install

    I went another way entirely and mine was a little more… labor intensive. I installed a six position marine grade fuse block under the backseat to future-proof my later options, and ran positive and negative 6 gauge wiring up to the battery. Then I installed a Yaesu FTM400XDR to a ceiling rack. I...
  4. Anyone installing CB/ Ham radio and/or NMO antenna mount on your new Ranger?

    A Yaesu VX-8R will do all four bands. It’s listed as a triband, but it’ll do 220 also at lower power. Have to be specifically the R model, it’s the first generation and the specs were changed when they released other generations. I think they’re about $350 used if you can find one.

    I’d be curious to see what Goose Gear is saying these days. I noticed they already have stuff out for the new Broncos but I’ve asked them twice since I got mine and both times they responded with a vague no ETA type message. Has that changed?

    it’s the overhead rack from OGFab.com, you simply take out the screws for the grab handles in the back row and it screws right up. It’s got bars welded from side to side on top so it doesn’t flex, and can hold a decent amount of weight. He supplies new longer screws and spacers. Very nice addition.
  7. Anyone installing CB/ Ham radio and/or NMO antenna mount on your new Ranger?

    I’ve been running a portable the same way for the whole time I’ve owned the truck until I finally grabbed a headliner rack and got a legit mobile so I can use APRS to help track routes. Waiting for the weather to break so I can finish the power install. Will have 8 gauge power through the...
  8. Mountain Hatch

    Go add 20 pounds of wood to your tailgate if that’s what gets your rocks off. Every single accessory can be called absurd by someone else, that’s not the point. It serves a purpose to those that decide to buy one. Do what you want to your truck, it’s not a competition.
  9. Mountain Hatch

    No. The bolts they provide are spec’d for non-lined.

    It turns your tailgate from a grooved surface into a flat surface. Use it how you want.
  11. Mountain Hatch

    If you go over to the outlet section you can get one for about a buck 80.
  12. Project Msfitoy V3.0

    Now show me how to do it by yourself when the roof rack is still attached ?
  13. Cascadia VSS system interest thread

    If this isn’t dead, I’d get one.
  14. Supercab jump seats, anyone?

    Yeah, I’d love to see how you did this too as I’ve been toying with a rear seat delete myself.
  15. FordPass Siri Shortcuts

    I’d wait a bit and then just ask. Mine always works, sometimes it just takes a minute or two.
  16. FordPass Siri Shortcuts

    Got mine all set up, thanks for sharing this!
  17. Anyone installing CB/ Ham radio and/or NMO antenna mount on your new Ranger?

    Nice install. I have a bed rack coming and I’m just going to mount straight into the rack, otherwise I’d be doing this too.

    It was just shy of $145 to be delivered outside of Tahoe.
  19. DIY: Adding the 12V Power Outlet Option in the Bed

    Let me know if/when things change, I’ll be the first to buy the new adapter for my unit.
