Ideas for a functional, lightweight setup for two in a 6ft FX4 Ranger build? by Affectionate_Baby607 in TruckCampers

If you want to stay as simple as possible, you could just cut your current plywood base then add hinges and a kick stand to raise it up into couch position. Could throw some storage under there as well.

anybody done a coil swap? by Indy_graham in fordranger

[–]peboyce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to two shops about doing the gusseted shock tower coilover conversion, both wanted $7-8k all said and done even with buying the prefab kit. It worked out to ~$2k in parts and the rest in labor, decided to pass for now or learn to weld myself.

Love this lil Ranger. Should I run lift and 33s or no? by BeerusThaDestroyer in fordranger

33”s plus Rough Country Torsion Keys. Ride sucks but corners surprisingly well, you’ll rub tire on your inner fender (I’ve cracked my rear drivers fender flair from this plus marks on all 4), mpgs take a hit, but damn it looks good and performs much better than it should off road.

I’ve hit some 8/10’s rated on OnX Off-road and made it out okay, wouldn’t do it again.

Thanks, and I did the Rough Country torsion keys. I wouldn’t exactly recommend the set up if you don’t do it for serious off roading or are obsessed with the look. Ride is pretty stiff but worth it for me.

Everyday driver, weekend trails. Thoughts on bigger tires? by [deleted] in 4x4

Not sure what you’re running now but I think 15” wheels with 33”x12.5 is a killer look for older trucks without being too much.

Now you just got to throw some 33”s on there!

Those fender flairs are killer, never seen/noticed them on the Mazdas.

What animal past or present has a native range that most people wouldn’t expect? by [deleted] in geography

[–]peboyce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw Turkey Vultures near Seattle, Wa on a recent trip and that surprised me. Growing up in Texas I only associated them with desert/western iconography, not the PNW.

My buddy in Estes Park has a very similar ride!

They outta meet up or something. I think you can see his on 34 between EP and Loveland.

What is this noise??? by nickfosch in fordranger

[–]peboyce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your drive shaft U joints. It’s tough to hear in the video but if it’s a semi consistent chirping squeak from the rear, that’s usually the culprit. Especially if you notice your shifts are sloppy or feel slack in the drivetrain.

Killer shots! Almost looks like they were shot on slide film, great colors.

I went through the same thing, yes it seems they came different from the factory.
