  1. What are you guys towing?

    It was great. Next time I go, I'll need to spend more time in the park, though. We did a lot of day trips elsewhere and only spent a few days doing things in the park proper.
  2. Only Need a Ball in my Bumper for Towing?

    or the bumper starts to rip off of the truck
  3. Mountain Bike in Bed with Shell

    It's no worse for wear after the drive from NC to New Brunswick and back.
  4. Mountain Bike in Bed with Shell

    It's the Gazelle G6. The first time I took it on a trip, I jammed it into the bed of the truck underneath the bikes at an angle and it was a crappy transport method. I had wanted a more durable and water protective carry bag for putting it on the roof. I reached out to Gazelle and they told me...
  5. Mountain Bike in Bed with Shell

    The scratching is only one reason I'm not a fan of the straps. Straps can also stretch when wet (depending on what they're made of - some rack companies still use straps that stretch when wet - f'ing idiots). Straps suffer UV damage and get brittle. Straps can be sliced with a pocketknife. I'm...
  6. Mountain Bike in Bed with Shell

    That is a cool product I've never seen before. But I don't like straps wrapping around the tailgate to start with. And $300 for a fork mount? Yowch! I use the ol fork mounts attached to a 2x6 method. Mine wedges and hooks into place so you can't get the board out unless the tailgate is down...
  7. Lacking style??? Agreed...

    honestly, the 5g Ranger borrows quite a bit from the F150's from the 1990's. Ford F-Series - Wikipedia
  8. Mountain Bike in Bed with Shell

    I use a fork mount in the bed of my Ranger. Don't have a cap, but I do have a bed rack and my bike fits fine. It's a 29er Guerrilla Gravity Pedalhead, so it's long for a medium, but I dunno how it'd compare to your XL. I angle it a bit to fit and have a bit more room for additional angling if...
  9. FordPass is watching us?

    At this point, the data collection has been occurring for so long and has become so pervasive without much blowback, that they only way you can have substantial changes without going full caveman is going to be through federal legislation. and precious few people in government understand any of...
  10. FordPass is watching us?

    when parts are more expensive, insurance rates go up.
  11. FordPass is watching us?

    How many of you use the "reward" cards for grocery stores and other businesses? especially to access lower prices, fuel points, coupons, etc? The companies that run those things have figured out how to link your purchase history between several different ones so they can sell it as one big...
  12. Hand Controls

  13. Hand Controls

    my father is an amputee and he taught himself to drive my car (a manual) with one foot before he got his prosthesis.
  14. The Greatest Mod You'll Ever See

    that's what you use when you're being chased by cartels
  15. Battery and Charging

    I put a NOCO Genius 2D in mine. On mine, I've got the charger permanently mounted inside the engine bay and I attached a GCP AC port (the 1E IIRC) GCP AC Ports (no.co) This way, my charger/maintainer is always with me and all I need is a regular ol extension cord. As others have...
  16. Anyone think the new 2024 rangers look like mavericks?

    the only one of the new rangers I like the looks of is the Raptor, and it's down to the bumper. it's kinda said that it comes down to that for me, but it's stark enough of a difference that I wouldn't buy one of the new rangers if I was in the market this yr. the Raptor is just too far outside...
  17. New Tacoma - Broke

    Saw this posted in another forum. I have no idea who this guy is, what background he has, or what kind of authority he has on the subject. He has some good points, but I think he takes an overly pessimistic stance on it. Especially the whole "everybody sucks at their jobs" statements he's making.
  18. Amazon Upper Control Arms?

    another angle for the fake product problem (go to 10:40 in the vid). the closer it looks to a name brand product, IMO, the more likely it is to be fake and unsafe. I don't buy anything that's safety critical from amazon.
  19. New Tacoma - Broke

    I got one of these back in high school. It was my first car. It looked pristine but it had some monsters hiding under the hood for sure. I ended up getting rid of it less than a year later after repeated MAJOR problems that most likely came down to the fact that it wasn't used enough to keep the...
