Ive had multiple 3.5s that went well over 100K with zero issues. Im not saying everything is rainbows and butterflies, but it's not as bad as the internet makes it out to be.
One massive issue with the internet is thay it gives the average person a voice in public when they really shouldn't...
Has anyone removed the bins under the rear seat? If so, is it hard to do in a manner that they can go back in security?
I'm wanting to make some modifications to them to allow for secure storage in them but don't want to destroy them trying to get them out.
Here's my take.
1. Remember thay MOST of the people here and on the internet that are bitching about it have never had an issue and are mostly dramatic
2. If you change your oil regularly and do the recommended maintenance at every interval, you're probably not going to have an issue.
3. I take...
They didn't break anything. They had a lot of complaints that being able to activate via the app was running thre battery down when ppl forgot to turn off the zone lighting power. So, they took it away.
Will it come back? Who knows...
Does anyone know what the threaded holes in the bulkhead are for? I know some of the holes are for manufacturing, but there are two threaded holes (one on each side of the bulk head) I'm curious about.
I like them for getting in and my daughters wanted something to make it easier to get in and out with. That said, getting out of the truck is a bit trickier IMHO. It's awkward to step over them but also awkward to step on them.
Awesome! What offset are you running with the 33s (I assume you changed out factory wheels)?
My goal is to leave about 1" of rake in it while running 33s. I still need some rake for when I tow a trailer
It depends on what you want out of them. If you're going to build out an overlander with an in-bed camper and a lot of extra weight attached to the truck, go Dobinson. If you're wanting a lift/level with 33s that makes it more off road capable but spends most of it's time on-road, go Eibach...
Eibach has a 0-3" front and 0-1" suspension lift kit that fits the 2024+ Ranger (non-Raptor). It sells out quickly and is on backorder right now, but it's how I'm going to lift my 2025 XLT FX4 with the 2.7L. They have a version for the 2.3L and the 2.7L.
What I don't like is sliding across the seat bolstering when getting in or out. That will 100% break down the bolstering/side of the seat more quickly than necessary. I'm gonna leave mine on so I can be easier on the sides of the seat.
Makes sense. I was thinking of getting a flex head ratchet wrench and rhen using hot glue to hold the torx bit in place (fill the wrench with hot glue and push the bit in). Thoughts....
