Been a while since I've posted anything on this forum. Here's one of my favorite photos of my Ranger on the Oregon coast just outside of Pacific City.

Wow, I had forgotten how aggravating that was. In short, yes the recalibration or re-programming did the trick. I have since logged a few thousand miles pulling a Jayco 21QBW (about 5000 pounds if I recall) and my trailer brakes have worked flawlessly.

So far, I've visited two "5-star review" shops. Both looked like junkyards, and both said the earliest they could schedule the repairs was sometime between February and March.

I was rear-ended a couple of days ago (no one was hurt). Any opinions about Ford dealer shops vs independent auto-body shops? I'm in the Portland Oregon area if anyone has any shop recommendations. Also, any idea as to how much this type of accident would lower my potential resale value?

We've been having a grasshopper problem around here... Spent a few days in Borrego Springs California shooting the metal sculptures.

Here's a shot of my tailgate damper

More truck or more model? ;)

Did a photo shoot on a dry lake bed just south of Boulder City, Nevada.

Sorry, meant to say +36. No wonder these stick out so far.

Just got off the phone with Discount Tire. The new wheels are 0 offset. According to their fitment guide need at least negative 36. Don't know where their fitment guide was when I ordered the wheels from them, but as always they are going to make it right.

Rubbing both front and back. Looks like I'm going down the crash bar modification rabbit hole I was hoping to avoid.

Update: just had the 265/70/17's installed and they are rubbing both left and right lock. Any suggestions? They look great by the way. The new wheels have a negative offset, not sure how much. That's most likely the issue.

I've been wanting to upgrade tires and rims but was waiting for the tires to need replacement. As luck would have it, I completely shredded one of my stock 18" Hancooks while off-roading this past weekend and damaged the rim in the process. After seeing your post, I just pulled the trigger on...

Haven't measured any temperatures, but I've now pulled this trailer all the way from Vegas to Portland Oregon with no issues. All in MPG has been 11.3 , which is a challenge when gas stations are 200 miles apart.

Just got back from the scale - Trailer fully loaded with pots, pans, clothes, etc. weighed in at 4880 lbs, compared to MFG dry weight of 4539 lbs. With WDH hitch front axle was 20lbs less, the drive axle was +80 lbs, and the trailer axle was +60

That Docent job sounds interesting... Yes we stayed at the Lakeside resort, formerly Terrible's. Got two nights free from Johnnie Walker RV

Just completed our first 100 mile shake down trip that included one mountain pass (Vegas to Pahrump), highway speeds between 60 and 65, and city driving. Trip meter registered 12.2 mpg. Crosswinds were gusting around 30 mph, which the ProPride handled without issue. All in all, very pleased and...

I plan on taking it to the scale next week...
