  1. HVAC 'clicking' normal or not?

    Recently I noticed a clicking type of sound coming from the HVAC center stack that I am paranoid could be similar to this TSB thread. Although my truck has a December 2020 build date, which is should have the improved heater box assembly. When the truck is cold (just started up) and the HVAC...
  2. Diode Dynamics Stage Series 6" LED light bar review

    I installed Diode Dynamics Stage Series 6” LED light bars in amber color on my Ranger last weekend. My truck is the Lariat with factory LED headlights and LED fog lights. I decided to go with the light bars rather than replace the OEM fogs for a few reasons: The OEM fog lights aren’t crap...
  3. Oregon Sold: Fox 2.0 rear shocks with 27k miles - $100

    I installed these at 5k and removed them today at 32k (27k miles on these shocks). I would guess maybe 2% of my miles are off pavement I pushed down on these shocks along side a new Fox 2.0 and could not tell a difference. I suspect these have a lot of life left. I recently installed the Fox...
  4. Feedback requested: front lift after Fox 2.0s

    Looking for advice from the forum community please. Last week I had Fox 2.0s installed (well the fronts, the rears I did two years ago myself). I love the handling now, and in general the truck is awesome. I'm a few days into a road trip, and have put about 500 miles on the new setup...
  5. Rear shocks vs front and rear (Summary, do them all!)

    I hated the suspension ride quality on my Ranger from day one...way too bouncy and uncontrolled. At 4k miles, I replaced the rear shocks with Fox 2.0s. That made such a difference. Somewhat due to my budget and somewhat due to listening to many on this forum state that you only need to do the...
  6. Oregon Hub Centric Rings OD= 100.1 mm ID= 93.1 mm - Aluminium

    I bought these to accommodate Tire Rack's Sport Terrain brand of wheels. I ended up buying a used set of Ranger sport wheels instead. Rather than throw these hub rings out, I'll see if anyone can use them. Asking $10, which is $2 more than the priority mail envelop they will ship in. Not...

  8. Help with Ford TBC install - brake light connector

    Hey folks, need some advice. First, I am extremely mechanically and electrically inclined (engineer). I have done many vehicle stereo installed, etc. I cannot get the connector that interfaces with the high mounted brake to work. Seems like some of my wires will not go in far enough. The brake...
  9. Hub centric rigs?

    I am shopping for winter wheels and tires for my Ranger. On my other vehicles (three Subarus), I have always used hub centering rings with aftermarket wheels. When I asked Tire Rack if they included the rings, here was the reply: We don’t use hub center rings on trucks. We have had very few...
  10. Oregon Yakima Overhaul HD truck rack towers

    Complete set of Yakima OverHaul HD truck rack system towers. (note the HD crossbars are not included). I used this rack for a couple of weeks, then decided to swap it out for Yakima's Outpost rack instead. This rack was purchased as a show room demo, so I could not return it. Also note that...
  11. Removing the headliner (for PDR access to repair roof dent)

    I know folks have removed the headliner for the brake controller install. My truck has a roof dent. It looks like a ball or other large blunt object hit it. See pictures below. My PDR guy is confident he can repair it, but he suggests I remove the headliner first. I have removed door panels and...

  13. 2021 Rake = 2 inch ?

    A few sources from this forum and YouTube state the difference in ride height (rake) front to rear to be around 3 to 3.5 higher in the rear. People say that the Fox 2.0 level kit set at the 2 inches default, will still leave about a inch or 1.5 inch rake. My 2021 FX4 has a 2" higher rear...
  14. Distance from top of hitch to bottom of open tailgate?

    Can someone with the factory tow package please measure the distance from the top of the 2" hitch opening to the tailgate in the down position? I want to order a hitch bike rack for my 2021 ranger which will arrive in Feb. I am taking a road trip asap after delivery and won't have time to...
