  1. Almost clipped a cyclist

    This is why I ride on trails in the woods Not trying to be the least protected individual in that social clusterfuck 😂
  2. Why order an FX4 package after reading this forum?

    I felt the same way about the terrain modes until I actually tried them out in their designated terrains. The throttle response in mud/ruts mode is amazing! Diff lock is invaluable for off road driving.
  3. Help! On side of highway… trans issues

    I get it, totally valid to feel that way about traveling I high speed. I maintain that driving that fast for any period of time will not hurt the engine or transmission, but will certainly affect your ability to respond to traffic or obstructions in the road. The tires themselves are actually...
  4. Fox 2.0 Question

    I'm pretty sure all Fox 2.0s are IFP monotube shocks The resi just moves the IFP out of the main shock to allow for more fluid, and sometimes more travel.
  5. Help! On side of highway… trans issues

    Have you fired it up since then? I'd be surprised if there isn't some engine knock as well. Strong potential to blow a piston ring or something at that speed.
  6. Fox 2.0 Question

    They're pretty similar with a few key differences. 1) the coilovers are not adjustable on the tremor, whereas the coilovers from Fox have a threaded shock body so you can adjust the position of the lower spring perch. 2) The Tremor rear shocks have external reservoirs mounted piggy back style...
  7. Help! On side of highway… trans issues

    90 mph is nothing significant for the drivetrain. A little dangerous to travel in traffic at that speed, but no problem for the truck. However, 90 mph in 4th gear could be a big problem. I'm curious to see what RPM the truck hit before OP shut it down.
  8. New softtopper

    This is a rigid rack. Softopper is the one you're looking for.
  9. 154k mile Ranger

    Not a single transmission fluid change reported... how has the transmission not exploded?! 😜
  10. Replacement for the OE LT265/65/17 tires

    Yokohama G015 is a good looking tire with good traction in many conditions. Lots of people love the Michelin LTX for your use case. Read some Tirerack reviews. They do wet and dry track comparisons in their tire testing. I also felt pretty neutral about the Hankooks. The LT design is a bit...
  11. New Transmission time. 😮‍💨

    Alright fair enough. My only response here is these anecdotes aren't really getting us anywhere, as I've had nearly the same experience with drivetrain longevity without changing transmission fluid in several vehicles. I will do the same with this Ranger and expect to keep if for years to come...
  12. New Transmission time. 😮‍💨

    IDK who's pouring the kool-aid: The OEMs or the shops selling transmission fluid changes... I'm at 86k miles with no changes and it functions fine. I guess I'll report back when it fails in 14k miles.
  13. What did you pay for the transmission pan drop and filter?

    Why do you want to change the fluid and filter? It's not part of the maintenance schedule and there's no correlation between changing fluid and the longevity of our transmissions. Total waste of money IMO.
  14. New Transmission time. 😮‍💨

    What was it doing before you decided to start servicing it? It's my understanding that changing trans fluid is a great way to get a new transmission and is completely unnecessary on modern ATs from the last two decades.
  15. Can this be “rubbed”out?

    If the scratches disappear when wet, then yes you can polish them out. Might need wet sanding if they're deep enough. Look up ChrisFix on YouTube for a good tutorial on scratch removal. Otherwise, leave it there as a monument to your big-ass dog!
  16. Why with weight in truck bed it rides better (sorry posted in wrong category and I can't find out how to move thread)

    It's not a flaw - it's a feature! Without getting too deep in the physics, there's a suspension characteristic called the Damping Ratio that measures how quickly a system returns to steady state after bouncing. A high damping ratio will have a very short response time and may feel harsh. A...
  17. Thinking about canceling my order

    I guess imagine having to take stuff to and from your storage unit in a Bronco. If that still works for you, then the bed space is irrelevant. U-haul trailers are pretty cheap too.
  18. Thinking about canceling my order

    the whole open bed thing kinda makes them a little different
  19. Car Wash

    Optimum No Rinse, Optimum big red sponge, and a big microfiber towel. Takes like 30 minutes and leaves zero scratches. Extra time to hose it off if its muddy.
  20. Expedition One front bumper install

    It is crazy to think of the amount of times one of my vehicles has been left sitting on jack stands because the "simple" job I signed up for had vague instructions or needed some OEM tool. I always realize this once I'm past the point of no return. You live and you learn. 🤷‍♂️
