  1. 2021 Ram TRX

    Wow, RAM build and price for this thing, I'm at 89K.... I don't see a tail gate damper option though... I don't know, 700+hp off road truck..... Reminds me of the Dodge Ram SRT-10 (Viper engine) or the Ford Lightning way back.... cool & fast street trucks.... a lot happening on the dash too....
  2. FYI on Ford Tailgate Dampener

    Not for nothing, but I think I installed mine upside down :facepalm:
  3. Stripped Thread in Tie Down Bolt Hole

    I feel your pain... I added a set of tie downs to the bed as well, after the LineX of course. The set arrived and like a kid in a candy store, "great, I get to use tools!", I went at it. Instead of chasing the holes clean with a 8x1.25 tapered tap, I managed to cross thread the first bolt...
  4. 2019 Ford Ranger Gas Mileage

    My wife drives our 2019 Ranger, 4x2, CC, level kit, aftermarket Nitto AT (wider, maybe a little taller) tires. According to the computer, it's getting a steady 17.5 mixed driving. I drive a 2018 F150 4x4, 3.5L, CC, stock and get 17.8 mixed driving. If I baby the F150, I get 19/20. If I could...
  5. Wish this was an option on the Ranger

    Not to change the subject, but at first glance that red TFL F150 above looks a lot like a Chevy front end..... maybe it's just me....
  6. Trailer tow package add-on question

    This is exactly why I'm going with the factory retrofit. I don't want it looking like an after thought. Yes it costs more, it takes more effort to install it (I'm not in a hurry), but it's worth it to me.
  7. She’s done! 20’s & 33’s

    Looks good Josh! Proportionate, not overly done! I have a 4x2 as well, no regrets what's so ever.
  8. XLT vs Lariat sun visor colors?

    I thought about the left A-pillar too but didn't want to mess around with the side curtain air bag in any way... especial since key power is only a few inches away at the rear view mirror ;-)
  9. Ride Quality?

    Wow! I thought I had the last one on the planet :) I had a '91 with a six and a four speed, drove it for 220K miles.... When you go to tow with your Ranger, you'll notice right off the bat, when you leave a stop, it just goes off the line. The combination of the 1st and 2nd gear (very low in the...
  10. Ride Quality?

    I agree with Jerry here. Our Ranger is also 2WD that replaced my wife's '14 Jeep JKU. I was hesitant on the 2WD, mainly because of resale value (she doesn't offload). We test drove an FX4 (a few times) and while my wife didn't notice, I could feel more roll and jousting on uneven/whoop-de-doo...
  11. Amp Research Power Steps

    Hey Sandman..... Most installs vary, but I tried to follow the AMP instructions as much as possible. Even still, I had to use some trial and error on the wire routing. Where is the hole drilled on driver side for wiring? From underneath the truck, on the drivers side, right about in line with...
  12. Amp Research Power Steps

    They do show a lot more than the full sized trucks, but I got used to it. I probably have the worse color (next to white), silver and with the black boards, you really see them. I gotta say though, that they look alright and go with the truck IMO......
  13. Amp Research Power Steps

    I have to say I wasn't thrilled about how much the board shows along the rocker when it's retracted. On my F150 and Dodge, they tuck way under the rocker, up and away and are almost completely hidden. Once I got going on the install on my Ranger though, I quickly realized why the board shows...
  14. How many actually use the running boards

    I use them (and expect my passengers to use them) every time I get in and out of the truck. Most people getting out of most trucks opt to "slide" off the seat, bypass the running board and head straight for the ground. I've had to many seat bolsters get rubbed down to the foam, torn, lost thigh...
  15. Which Running Boards/Side Steps did you purchase?

    I have the GoRhino DSS. I liked the way they tuck up high under the rocker, drain water, stay pretty clean, easy to install, not so boxy or thick looking from the side.....but it's still a bit of step up for shorter legs. I recently installed a set of AMP Research power steps. When you open the...
  16. PowerStep Electric Running Boards

    You know, after installing mine (perfectionist), I think the length is a design trade off for two reasons. 1) The truck body/rocker flares outward at each end; behind the front tire and in front of the rear tire. So to keep the step as close to the body/rocker as possible, they shorten it. 2)...
  17. PowerStep Electric Running Boards

    Per the instructions I mounted mine on the rocker. They are well protected by the step covering them.
  18. XLT vs Lariat sun visor colors?

    I installed a Lariat visor in my XLT. I have done a few of the Amazon Homelink kits (approx $160), which work well, but this time I wanted to see what it would take to get a factory visor with Homelink built in this time. I shopped around and the best price I could find was on Tasca ($240 at the...
  19. XLT vs Lariat sun visor colors?

    I hardwired a Lariat visor to the mirror power. The mirror power is keyed; when the truck is off, the Homelink is off.
  20. XLT vs Lariat sun visor colors?

    I just installed a Lariat visor with Homelink and working mirror lights in my XLT (pics coming). When I removed my XLT visor, I fished a snake camera in the hole and in between the headliner and roof, no pigtail for the powering the visor. I had to run 20ga wire from the mirror power.
