What did you do to your Ranger today?

[Glocker]

Thanks, that does help. I'm torn trying to choose 5100's or the aftermarket drive shaft next. On the highway, it feels like all 4 wheels are out of balance. Pretty annoying.

Aftermarket shocks clean up the ride on these trucks unbelievably. Comparatively, driving home after installing Eibach's on my truck, it felt like a sports car. I'll never forget driving over an overpass on the interstate with really wide expansion joints and my truck feeling as if it was on the edge of control.

As for your vibration, have you had your wheel balance checked? Several months after I had larger tires installed, I was getting a vibration at highway speeds. There was a sweet spot that it would come in, but I can't remember the speed. I decided to start at the cheapest thing to fix to possibly solve that, and that was a wheel balance on all four wheels. It fixed it up perfectly and I've since done a couple 9 hour drives on top of my usual driving without the vibration reappearing.

Read the original LineX owner left... Started his own new compete... Called Bullet Liner

I had some rockers coated by Bullet Liner on my last jeep. They looked good but the compound is soft and when tightening bolts to hold the rockers on the liner squeezed out like playdough and had to be cut off with a sharp blade and sealed with bathroom caulking. Just my experience.

Well maybe I need to find Bullet Liner as an option. The video was dated.

It wasn't that bad and went faster than I thought.

So it's true then, a good coat of 303 adds horsepower ?

We ordered ours last nov and it came the beginning of april. They told us to expect it to take a year. It's my wife's dd and she loves it. It will be worth the wait.

Ours is a 2 door hardtop with the Sasquatch package and lux package which both seem to add to the delay

Adding my midland 275, antenna wire to the engine bay, and wiring for ditch lights and other goodies. I’m using a Lightforce fascia with dual switches. Should be all installed tomorrow. Everything will be ran off relays.

How did you find doing the clay bar? And what did you use?

Looks like a lot of work but it also looks like I could get rid of the zillions of tiny oak tree sap dots on mine.

Its not that much work...

After you wash the truck use a quality fine clay bar, with plenty of lube and just let the clay glide over the surface. Don't apply a lot of pressure to the clay, because it will scratch/Mar your clear coat.

I use a piece of clay that is about as big as four fingers and flatten it about the diameter of a hockey Puck... You'll feel when it starts picking stuff up, just turn it and mix it in on occasion. If it drops on the ground, toss it. It will pick up literal rocks from the ground that will make you regret it....

You can also use a chemical decon - I use iron-x... It stinks, and turns purple when it picks up iron deposits, but it's just spray it in dry, clean paint or wheels let it work for a few minutes and spray it off.... (I generally wash the vehicle again when I'm done deconing, but I'm extra)
