That is a 4 way I keep behind my seat, which was kinda the point of the thread. If you dont pack something, and installed a different sized lug, you won't be able to get the tire off in an emergency.
No. They don't sell them for DIY. At the time of purchase, they weren't even sold to 3rd party shops to install, though he said he was going to look into it.
Have a few swear words ready when you go to get out the downpipe, but if you're persistent you'll get it off.
As for the sound, I love it. It's enough to let you know that there's a modified exhaust installed, but not so much as to be obnoxious or anything. The only way it could be better is...
Points the the first person that can find the front camera in this picture. It isn't hard to spot, but is a super clean location.
I will circle it and add to my first post after someone finds it. I want to give you guys a chance first though.
I do have a final location for the front camera as well. It looks great, but doesnt bypass the need for a spotter over obstacles. I'll add the picture in a few minutes.
Thank you!
On many build threads it was a pain to go through and find the posts that showed what they had done, so I decided to do it that way.
Editing doesn't bump the thread, or notify though, so I also post at the end saying what changes were made.
I haven't really spent time on my truck...
Sorry for the late response, somehow I never saw this post. Havent been on the boards too much recently as well.
I didn't really notice a difference in ride after lift install.
Yes, the all links are the correct items I purchased. Keep in mind, you need an adapter to make the fumoto fit as...
It shouldn't be an issue for most Rangers. My negative offset wheels leave it more exposed than it would otherwise be. However, definitely a lesson to have break fluid as part of your recovery gear/tools.
It doesnt, but I dont believe it was empty. I believe it was just lower than the threshold amount.
I'm open to other possibilities if you have a hypothesis?
After researching, I actually think it is all 4 brakes, not just the rear. I had just assumed it was the rear and the ebrake was applied when I was stuck because the light was on and the brakes were definitely applied.
I am just as baffled as you.
Here is the video.
On doing some research and testing, I believe it is manually activating the brakes with what fluid it does have left and not engaging the ebrake. With the fluid drained and ebrake off (Brake light is on), I can manually rotate the tire (its on...
I am not blaming anyone, nor did I state there was a design flaw.
I asked if it was a design flaw. Obviously now that I have seen the pictures with the difference of my offset wheels, I would not say it was a design flaw, but I do think it could have been designed better.
That being said...
I have the same hand brake as everyone. The cable operated one. I have no clue how it was done, all I know is that it was done. I was literally dragging the truck by the winch.
I have the truck drained of brake fluid now, so I'll make a video so you can see.
I will know for sure when the new brake fluid comes in (today) and I remove the bolt and brake line. My thought though is to use my tube bender (made for copper tubing, I work in HVAC/Refrigeration) to bend the metal tube. Then tighten the bolt with the tube perpendicular to the ground.

I found the technical data on their website. The sl.6 is indeed thinner than the typ 200 (700mm² max, compared to 1400mm² max), so I will switch over.
Here are the specs, for any who are interested:
