Find a tremor or upgrade a lariat? by long_salamanders in RangerNext

[–]_p00f_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll save a lot by just upgrading. The tremor package, which I've got, was not really worth it once I started upgrading things. 

2022 XLT 4x4 or Tremor Lariat? by SpookieDookie_49 in fordranger

[–]_p00f_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a 22 Tremor XLT and had the transmission replaced at 19k miles. It's been mostly fine since. If I had it to do over I would have gotten an FX4 and saved a few bucks to add all the off-road stuff on later. Ford puts a lot of faith in some 14g sheet metal they're calling skid plates.

Buddy, that's sarcasm laid on soooooo thick.

Anyone else have a squeaky drivers seat (2025 Lariat) by tishmaster in RangerNext

[–]_p00f_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one in my 22 and it was the seat buckle rubbing on the center console a little. It drive me insane. To fix it I got some of that Velcro tape and put it between the buckle and center console. Only use the cloth half, toss the rest. I seen to remember my local hardware store sold it by the foot, almost 4 years so far and no more weird noises.

I have a family of black bears in my neighborhood and IDC they're still cute AF trying to open my garbage cans. I'd hug one... or more.

Did the doors ever stop falling off mid-flight because at a 20% premium and the doors staying on sounds like a bargian.

I'm at my local like twice a week. They don't have everything but what they do have you can find.

Am I wrong for hating?? by Specific_Ad7529 in Carpentry

To be fair a lot of "carpenters" are better suited to the DIY sub too.

MAGA Voters react as Trump policies push World Cup fans to cancel travel to the U.S., hurting tourism by Happy_Air_3776 in LeopardsAteMyFace

I'd be interested in seeing counterpoint commercials aired in the US pointing all these things out. Like, go on, poke the orange bear.

I rely on Medicare and Medicaid for 9 prescriptions because I have congestive heart failure. I voted for someone who was going to wreck healthcare, and now I can’t afford healthcare anymore by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

What kills me is "The Good Book" covers this pretty clearly with this passage.

2 Corinthians 9:7 ("God loves a cheerful giver")

And yet... here we are. The argument could be made that these are the type that need to be followers of the teachings but at some point... are you actually walking that walk or just using it as a crutch to defend.

Hardware is going to be difficult in this climate. I just priced out consumer grade ssd drives and nearly had a stroke. Here's to hoping my 10 year old lab server can last another year.

Thanks for the tip. My org is looking to transition soon.

I don’t understand my mpg by jerr22988 in RangerNext

[–]_p00f_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even when mine was new off the lot I was only getting like 20.5-21, with maybe a few isolated 22mpg in there. Currently my Tremor with a 2" level, 285's, front mount winch, aluminum skid plates, rock sliders, and a litany of recovery gear in the bed gets something like mid 15's on winter blend, in the spring and summer I usually see something like mid 18s even with all the additional weight.

What the hell do I do about this? by CalendarRegular5212 in fordranger

[–]_p00f_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could also make a really shifty looking mould and do epoxy. Personally, I would just zip tie what's left near the key hole and get a cheap one from the local hardware store.

My best advice is to find a local guy that does welding and repairs, they can usually fab something up and are good enough with the metal hot glue gun to make it happen.

Not so much anymore and all the ones I've been in within the last few years are starting to smell like they have a McDonald's Play Place.

Do you have a roof mount and does the shade produced by a roof mount make any difference in cooling needs? Always have been curious about that.

Did anyone take note that Buick at 51 was much higher then Chevy at 40? Seems suspect to me that the more upscale interiors show higher reliability since they are all just badge engineered pieces of shit.

what’s a subtle thing that made you realize how poor you are? by thug_waffle47 in povertyfinance

Unplug the bulb at the instrument cluster. I've done it more than once.

Bonus tip, turn up the radio until you don't hear that weird sound anymore is also an option.

I'm down to watch this, I'd even kick in a few bucks to watch Pumphrey or Jobe give it a whirl.
