  1. F 350 Recovery in Snow with Stock FX4 Lariat

    First time I've ever had to do this. Snow mode 4H with diff locked worked nicely.
  2. TRUCK BED SLEEPING PLATFORM

    Thanks. Sorry I didn't see this post until just now. We're using some camping inflatable sleeping pads and some sleeping bags. We keep summer-weight sleeping bags in there in the summer and change them out for our winter bags when it gets colder. The sleeping pads that we use have a great...
  3. chirp sound coming from the engine

    If you are hearing a squeal at around 40 mph or so, that may be a different issue than what is being discussed in this thread. The reason I suspect this is that my ranger does both. It has the chrip noise when the turbo waste gate is cycled when the engine is first started, and it squeals at...
  4. TRUCK BED SLEEPING PLATFORM

    Thanks. The idea of the slat floor down on the bed floor and the gear in the foot locker up high is that we are able to sit up without hitting our heads on the topper. The slat floor also lets dust, debris, down feathers, etc. brush through down into the "bilge" until we get a chance to vaccum...
  5. Actual bed measurement help needed

    Thanks. I called up the super helpful folks at Swing Case and they sold me just the hinges and latch parts without the plastic boxes.

  7. Actual bed measurement help needed

    Pictures are worth more that words. This set of pictures and videos pretty much shows how it all works. We've used it a bunch now including week-long stints of living out of the truck. https://www.flickr.com/photos/7657903@N05/albums/72157719030661681
  8. chirp sound coming from the engine

    Just to clarify, Are you saying the Chirping noise of the turbo waste gate is still occurring after the turbo assembly was replaced? Thanks.
  9. chirp sound coming from the engine

    I have this chirp as well. I removed the Turbo heat shield to get at both ends of the linkage. I then removed the linkage and operated the wastegate control arm by hand. The squeak is produced when I move the control arm without the linkage in the mix, so I think it is something internal to...
  10. Anyone sleep in their truck bed with a topper?

    Here's a couple albums with pictures of our on-going Ranger micro-camper build project. 2021 SCab. I'm 5'11'. I can stretch out straight, but my head is uncomfortably pressed against the tailgate. Luckily I sleep on my side, somewhat curled up, so it's not really an issue. My wife is much...
  11. Anyone else keep accidentially putting their truck in 4H?

    Please have at it. I'm not opposed to anyone deciding they want to mass produce these and/or even charge some money for them. Feel free to use the file or modify it etc. It didn't take me that long to make, and I'm completely uninterested in going into the business or hobby of making these things.
  12. Anyone else keep accidentially putting their truck in 4H?

    Great. two quick bits of advice: When determining the exact orientation of the cage, place it over the knob and then rotate the cage until the upper ring is parallel to the top of the knob. You'll notice that if you set the cage on a table the ring will be slightly sloped with respect to the...
  13. Anyone else keep accidentially putting their truck in 4H?

    I just designed and printed this up. It does a pretty good job of making it difficult to accidentally rotate the knob. You have to reach in under it with the tips of thumb and fingers to rotate the knob. If you have extra meaty fingers it might be a little annoying. Not interested in...

    Thanks for the reply SrappyLaptop. I've got the truck in my garage now (two weeks earlier than predicted by the Ford tracking website), so I'm good to go.
  15. Actual bed measurement help needed

    Hi all. This is my first post, but I've already learned a bunch from all the helpful, knowledgeable people on these forums. I have a 2021 supercab on order. I'm told it will be arriving in late January. I plan to put a topper on it and build out a micro-camper in the bed. I'm working on a...
