    Just above Lead King Basin on the upper road to the Geneva Lake TH.
  2. Unbelievable gas mileage in 2025 2.7 with ProCal, S&B, and Borla

    My 2.7 gets crazy good mileage in the mountains of Colorado. Averaged 27.3 (computer) on return trip from Cochetopa Park to Boulder last week. I typically average 25 to 26 round trip when driving in the mountains. This contrasts with the terrible mileage I got in the winter driving cross country...
  3. Where do you “off-road” in your ranger?

    I have not run the Alpine Loop yet, but have done similar and more difficult trails, you'll have no problem! The only thing I've noticed is that I've hit my bash plate and crossmember braces quite a bit. The stock FX4 does lack clearance, but it's a billy goat.
  4. What FORD vehicles do you own ??

    This old girl turned 30 today!! I bought it in 1996 and drove her to work today. I love my new Ranger, but this truck will always be number one.

  6. Where do you “off-road” in your ranger?

    Below Clear Lake in Colorado. Parked here for a hike and when I returned I had to drop the skid plate to get a marmot out from the engine bay, he was determined to stay in there.
  7. Just for Fun: If You Were the Ranger Designer, What Would You Change?

    Get rid of or redesign those rock-magnet transmission cross braces.
  8. Running 33" tires (255/80/17) pizza cutters on stock suspension, no rub

    I think this is very cool, but I just can't see myself riding on 10-ply tires. I'd love to get an extra inch of clearance, but I think I will settle for 255/75r17 and be happy with an extra half inch. Anyways, great information shared!
  9. What is your Insurance Coverage & Cost?

    $720.71 every 6 months with State Farm in Colorado (our rates are high due to frequent hail storms and a large number of motorists without insurance). Bodily injury ($500k/$250k) - $79.47 Property damage ($250k) - $52.99 Medical payments ($5k) - $7.01 Comprehensive ($100/$100) - $113.67...
  10. Software Updates

    I only drive my truck on weekends and sometimes go two weeks without driving it. I never received OTA updates prior to this month. At the beginning of the month I bought a NOCO Genius 1 battery charger/tender and since then I have received three updates. So, did these three updates just come...

  12. Mud Flaps, yay or nay?

    Nay. They are a wonderfully functional addition, but I just hate the look.

    You will be fine, but get a WD hitch.
