  1. Remove the factory running boards or no?

    My dates appreciate them. I am indifferent.
  2. Spare Tire

    My truck came from the factory with 18" rims and my spare tire is a 17". I just figured if the diameter was the same I'd be OK.
  3. Auto up and down window switches

    I must be in the minority on this topic. It took me years to get used to that "feature" in different trucks and it, frankly, irritated me. I thought it was a "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" thing. I just wanted the window opened a small bit...ugh. Not all the way down. But...
  4. Finally going to introduce myself. 2019 Ranger Sport 4x4 and 1967 Mercury Cou

    The 67 just had all it's chrome removed. Not as nice as yours but this was way back when. I paid $550 for the '67 and $1,500 for the '68.
  5. Finally going to introduce myself. 2019 Ranger Sport 4x4 and 1967 Mercury Cou

    Nice truck and nice job on the Cougar! I owned both a 1967 289 Cougar with deluxe interior and a 1968 Cougar GT with factory R code engine 428CJ Ram Air 4 speed. I think the intake manifold on that engine weighed about 80 pounds lol. I took it off once and thought I had forgotten a bolt, but...
  6. Our own P. A. Schilke's Name in Road & Track!

    I'm enjoying this thread as well. It's a real plus to have Phil contributing to the forum. Thanks Phil. My first Ranger was a 1991 regular cab Sport 6 cylinder 5 speed. My first new vehicle off the lot. I wish I had the sticker...I think it was $10,600. I paid for it from making a quick buck...
  7. Pet Peeves

    Have to agree with the brake comment. It has no feel IMO. I too have creeped forward at a stop too often. Maybe I'm just getting used to electronic brakes.
  8. Stahlbus oil drain valve install

    interesting. Thanks for sharing. I bought the ValvoMax version that looks very similar. I'll be putting it on next week. I wasn't really sure if I'd be able to avoid removing the skid plate during future changes since this hose needs to be removed between changes. I haven't crawled under...
  9. Off Road display

    Interesting. Thank you.
  10. Off Road display

    Thanks. I do now note that it's all light blue in 2WD. I also see the redundancy. I think the display could be a bit more clear but at least I understand it now. Regarding the wheels, I assumed the front and back were both open differentials with no type of posi-traction unless the rear locker...
  11. What did you do WITH your Ranger today?

    Did some tree and brush clearing today. Two more downed trees to clear and I'll be driving it through the woods.
  12. Off Road display

    I was in 4 High today and engaged the locking rear. I remembered the off road info display and pulled it up. Questions: 1) Shouldn't the picture in the middle show the front drivetrain engaged? 2) Do we know which wheels actually have power to them (left rear and right front)? Unless of...
  13. What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

    Received a MotiveX oil funnel and did the fitting mod as described elsewhere in the forum. Took about 30 seconds with the sanding drum on a Dremel. Perfect fit now. First oil change is quickly approaching...
  14. FX4 vinyl badging

    Does the eco boost badge just peel/pop off? No damage to the paint?
  15. Board across the back of the bed?

    62.25" was a touch too tight with the spray-in factory liner. I shaved a little more off and added some 1x on the ends to snug it up in the slot.
  16. Board across the back of the bed?

    Thank you. That's exactly what I want to do....with a couple notches for fishing poles. Just to hold a chair and tackle box back there instead of the backseat.
  17. Board across the back of the bed?

    Has anyone cut a board for the slots near the rear of the bed? Something like a 2x8 to go across the bed? I had one years ago in a Dodge Dakota and it was really helpful. The Ranger slots look too wide and too shallow.
  18. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Perfect! Thanks for the pics!
  19. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Is that box easily removable? Do you need to remove the tie downs near the tailgate and in the middle?
