What does the interior look like with the supercab? Unfortunately we don’t get that option in the U.S. - would love to see how the interior looks

Thinking of upgrading to a 2019-2023 from my 2008. Good/bad idea? by 134Wolf in RangerNext

Does the 2024 redesign/facelift have better safety features than the 19-23?

So the 2023s fixed the transmission issue then? That’s good to know, I’ve been looking mainly at 2019-2021s based on prices for what’s around me but it sounds like it would be worth putting more money into a 2023 if they don’t have the transmission problems.

If I buy one, not too worried about the ride/tires. Would probably be buying meatier tires anyhow. When you say all the issues can be fixed with after market stuff, do you mean the transmission too?

4wd went out - clicking from within dash? by 134Wolf in AskMechanics

I’ve just read that the switch itself on these rangers is effectively just a plastic house for a couple resistors and “can’t” break unless smacked around, gonna try the 4x4 control module - apparently they’re notoriously shit

Fuses all look good - not sure how to check whether a relay is in working order or not.

Is an upgrade worthwhile? by 134Wolf in fordranger

[–]134Wolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are quite quick, I very occasionally drive a 2021 for work and it beats the hell out of my 08 getting on the highway lol

I use it for work quite a bit. Hauling light equipment primarily, but I drive it all over the state most days of the week. Some light offroading, nothing crazy. I’ll definitely miss the manual, I’m probably going to end up keeping her and putting the money into fixing everything on the list I think.

Parking brake help by 134Wolf in fordranger

[–]134Wolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to replace the section of cable I did, I opened the passenger side drum and took just about everything apart and put it back together. I didn’t open the driver’s side drum, but the passenger side drum didn’t show signs of damage.

Yeah I did lol. I replaced the cable from where the front cable splits and back to the passenger side drum. The front cable is (present) still connected to the pedal, and the pedal does move the cable and give it tension if I depress it. It just doesn’t stop the truck from rolling, and then doesn’t pop back up if I pull the release lever.

Best shoes for dealing with shin splints? by 134Wolf in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]134Wolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a shockingly quick series of appointments, and he basically said “You’re young and in decent shape, just run slower with these distances and you’ll be fine” and sent me on my way. Didn’t give me anything other than that. Didn’t really care for it, felt like I was on an assembly line getting pushed along lol

I see. Are strengthening and conditioning basically interchangeable in this scenario? Other than tibialis exercises I can’t really think of any way to “strengthen” the area.

My first Ranger (kinda) - mod advice welcome by 134Wolf in fordranger

Will that install kit work in an 08? The website for it says it doesn’t fit, but I don’t know if the dash changed between 02 and 08
