  1. powder day

    not just a powder day, biggest snowfall in town in 25 years probably... ranger of course was unfazed.
  2. next gen ranger "teased"

    "While the truck is heavily camouflaged, a few details stand out. The overall proportions look similar to the current model, and both extended and crew-cab versions are seen in the video. The most striking design element we can see is the headlights, which appear to have a C shape echoing the...
  3. Alignment issues at 12k miles

    Just returned from a loooong road trip and my buddy looks at my front tires and says, looks like you got an aligment issue. Sure enough, I'm a good deal worse wear on the inside (photo makes it look a bit worse than it is). I put brand new Cooper ATS 4S on when I got the truck. Anyone else have...
  4. Positive ignition lead (back of truck ideally)

    Hey all, I'm installing a DC-DC system and because our trucks have a smart alternator I need a positive lead that gets power on ignition (not accessory) to clue in my charging system that it is ok to pull from alternator even though voltage is lower than expected. Any ideas if there is a circuit...
  5. Ranger sightings rare in US

    Just did a four week trip across the country, and was amazed at how few Rangers I saw. I swear I've seen more in my town in BC on any given day then I did in any of the places we visited, including areas like Tetons and UT. Plenty of Tacos and F-150s of course. Are they really that rare on the...
  6. tail gate bolt hell

    For our alu-cab install, I need to remove not just the tailgate but the hinges. Halfway through it became clear that these bolts do not want to leave home. I made a mess of it but I don't feel that bad since my son did too. 1) It's bonded red loctite. 2) the bolt is aluminum and super soft -...
  7. advice re: upgrading springs / load capacity

    Hey all .... so looking like we are going to pull the trigger on an Alu-Cab canopy. Which means a permanent 250KG / 550lbs riding on the back wheels. Almost certain I'll need to upgrade suspension, but wondering a) if I can get away with running on stock for a bit while waiting on suspension...
  8. Alu-cab!? Check it out...

    Wondering if anyone has one of these things. If you don't, where do you think it lands on the "sensible purchase" <--> "WTF did I just spend $15k CAD on" scale. https://www.alu-cab.com/product/canopy-camper/ In particular trying to figure out what you get for that extra $$ compared to an RTT.
  9. Ouch! PDR on aluminum hood?

    Had the truck for a week with less than 1k kms and my neighbor dropped a scaffolding panel he was loading into his truck on to the hood. :eek: Normally I'd freak but I managed to take it in stride. (It's a truck!) I do plan to sell it in next few years though so I want to keep it close to...
  10. Trucks are sketchy

    Excuse the clickbait title, but just got our Ranger and not having driven a truck in a long time, it's been "interesting" to get used to driving a 4WD pickup. For reference we traded in our Flex on the Ranger and our other car is a FWD EV. The Flex has the Haldex AWD system (same as Volvo XC70...
  11. Anyone want a $200k Bronco?

    Note price is inLoonies so if you're buying from US, you can get it for only 140k or so!
  12. inside vs over the rail topper

    Trying to decide between the Ford Accesories Truxsport standard and low pro bed top. I like the low profile on the higher end one and the material seems signifcantly better. It’s only a couple hinder more. Also less trouble if I want to use racks. But my one concern is using the bed for utility...
