Been a while :) I've mostly just been driving the truck and enjoying it, not a lot of changes. Made some updates today though. I switched to a GMRS radio and put on some new ~34" tires. Tires: BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 LT285/75R17 Overall Diameter: 33.8" Section Width: 11.3" Wheels...

Yeah it's quite noisy with the seats taken out. When I have some time I'll probably go the route others have done and build a platform out of wood, maybe with some foam on the back side to help quite down the noise. That said, I traveled 8 hours like that and it wasn't unbearable. In the front...

Not the most exciting mod, but one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. Took out the back seat and strapped down a kennel to go pick up a puppy tomorrow morning. Travel companion level unlocked ?

Update on my squeal. It really was hard to pin point, and mostly noticeable on cold wet mornings. But, I finally was able to get the truck in while it was squealing and I had time. Tech said it was a seal in the right rear (didn't get the specifics). They're ordering the part and hopefully...

Pulled a 26' UHaul truck up a snowy hill and back to their driveway :D

I was running 25 on the trail, kind of mid range. Yeah, these are C rated; I do wonder if E rated would've had the same issue. If it happens again I'll probably explore E rated... hoping it was just a very odd unlikely occurance.

I suppose my weekend adventure wasn't 100% complete. Today I got to play "fix-the-tire" with the Ranger. Apparently there was a chunk of rock that punctured and then partially broke off in my tire. I'm happy and surprised I was able to make it home without incident from the trail that's 2...

Here’s from the front. It’s hard to get a picture that shows it adequately.

Here's a full side picture (before and after the lift). I have the ReadyLift intrusion beams and without a lift there was some rubbing at full lock with the 285s, but only on the felt on the back side. With the lift no issues what-so-ever even while offroading. I'll get the front facing...

Went and explored on and around the backroad discovery trail(s) Ellensburg to Packwood in WA. Great time with rocks, mud, gravel, cliffs, trees, all the stuff that make the PNW / eastern WA amazing. Only snag was one of the sections that goes over private land to get to the next portion was...

I have the Black Rhino Stadiums +12mm offset with 285/70R17 KO2s. I run them without additional fender flares, but there's a little bit of poke. Here are some photos. I can take some that try to show the amount of poke better tomorrow :)

Went on a bit of an overland / easy off road adventure :D

Trying to adjust my antenna for better SWR. I started with a 2’ Firestik and it took everything I could to get to 2.5 on channel’s 1 and 40. Before took g too much diagnostics, I switched to a 3’ and I got it to 1.5 on channel 1 and 40. I’m happy with the 3’ but it’d be nice to have something...

Thanks! I do about 75% red and 25% threat hunting / blue. It's a great mix, we do a lot of purple to keep our alerting up to date. Never a dull day :D

Rest of the parts came in today so I could finish. Bought some 16g quick disconnect plugs and a coax extension (1m). I figured with the quick disconnects I can remove the CB and if something else uses 12v I can use another plug end and be up and running quickly. Also decided to try these...

Fixed one of the challenges today with a bit of angle grinder action. Looks decent enough until I switch to a bed rack system :)

CB Install Wanted to get a CB radio installed for primarily off-road use. My intent is to have it mounted on the Built right dash tray mount. Major parts: President Andy II CB Firestik II FS3 Antenna NMO adapter NMO Rain covers Bullet Proof Diesel Dual Antenna Mount Dropped the headliner...

Bought some tie-down points for the bed... thought they were going to be bigger :LOL:, but the M8 JK bolts I bought worked perfect. Tie-downs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P73WM8C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bolts...

I'll be basing everything off of @WxNerd2015 's write up (https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/bullet-proof-diesel-antenna-mount-install.7455/). It comes with the coax, and supplies longer bolts. There are some brackets that they supply too to make it sturdier, I'm not sure if I'm installing...
