Hello all, Has anyone taken off the intake manifold cover? I've looked it up a few times and it seems generally pretty straightforward. Is there any precautions I should take before trying to look at my intake valves? I figured I would try to install the tb spacer/intake manifold spacer AND...

Howdy all, Been a while since I had time to go out and make a nice little post. Little off-road trip setup by @XL_Ranger_Danger (partner Andrea and doggo Doogle) with @A Tale Of Two Rangers, @Sgt_Gr8Haus (his buddy Eddie and doggo Luna) and Gary(Garry?) from Expedition Portal forums. Met a...

Howdy y’all, WARNING: LONG STORY/READ, although a jeep was messing with me :p Also sorry for my rough language in the video, I was just relieved from multiple failures and then a success and some adrenaline going through me. Let me start off by saying “WOW”… the ranger is a beast off-road and...

Howdy y’all, Got most of it installed. I think I bought an extra cap? Ford brake cap? Maybe it’s under the engine cover. The only complaint I have is the windshield wiper fluid cap doesn’t fit as tight as I would like, but I doubt it will come off. Can’t figure out how to install this dang roll...

Hello all, Today there was apparently someone right behind me on my butt and was a smaller vehicle. Accidentally reversed into him. Stupid me didn’t wait for reverse camera to turn on and my girlfriend said you’re clear but it’s okay. My fault only! Civil insurance trade and both parties were...

Hello all, I saw maybe one or two painted engine covers spread throughout the forums but I wanted a thread to have the experience all in one. What paint did you use? What prep needs to be done before spraying the engine cover down? How many miles and any cracking or heat issues? Anyone know...

Hello all, Last night the gf brute forced the seatbelt and got it stuck some how. How do I un-do this? I have tried and tried tugging on it opposite ways to try and get it straightened but I’ve never seen a clasp so tight with no wiggle room.. Warm regards, Brandon

Hello all, Times are rough. As you all know a month ago a Chevy Suburban was stolen from my street. This morning at 4:20am, my truck got a peek underneath, then ran ahead and stole a cat from a Honda Element. FX4 skid plate hides the CAT and the CAT is connected to the turbo from what I’ve...

Hello all, I was walking back to my car after class and heard a nice loud bang. This is exactly why I park in faculty parking spots. No more student lots for me. The young student literally swung into the parking spot with his Porsche… entitled probably but that’s besides the point here. Have...

Hello all, I have spent a lot of time on here in the past year and made a lot of friends. It is a pleasure to meet you all and be able to hear all your experiences/knowledge. Now I remember everyone by their truck, but how about adding a face to the truck so we get to know everyone a bit...

Hello all, I guess California emissions gave a DCS warning on my truck. It says “cores must be returned in original packaging, check state registration, VIN and may be eligible for California emission wty. Does this mean the dealers know but don’t care? I mean I purposely left it on the mods...

Hello all, Went for a bonfire and found out there was some kind of water event and a tailgate party of course. Fun to see everyone. Except those people who are running their light bars on the street. I get it, it’s the one time you “off-road” in San Diego. I should of taken a picture of the...
