  1. YO! Aftermarket folks - build a sport bar like this!

    Interesting. I had never looked at the Tremor thread as I won't be trading in my XLT any time soon. I was digging around in the Ford accessory site and found the exactly the bar that I want. And it would work if only I had a 5G Ranger. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out and maybe the Tremor will be...
  2. What did you DO TO your 6G Ranger today? 🧰 🛠️ ⚙️ 🧽

    Yesterday actually - I chipped 3+ inches of snow and ice off of it. No pics as it was too cold.
  3. YO! Aftermarket folks - build a sport bar like this!

    I was perusing the Ford Australia site and found this sport bar. Who, that service the U.S. aftermarket, is willing to build something like this? Either the long bar or shorten the rear legs to just the middle mount point. I don't want a big honkin' ugly "chase" bar - I'm not chasing anyone. I...
  4. Wiper Blade Arms while truck is off

    Something else that I tried - verify it for yourself though - is that if I turn the truck off when the wipers are up on the windshield, they stay up, obviously. What I found is that if I use the remote start from the Ford app, the wipers stay in place and I can warm up the truck and blow the...
  5. 10k Service Items? Stealership Nonsense

    You have to specify that you want the “Ford” 10k service, not the dealer service. All of the dealers around here have their particular mileage ”services” that are little more than money generators for them. Mine keeps pushing for a 4-wheel alignment at just over 10K miles on my Bronco. I always...
  6. Dash display

    Auto stop Eliminator
  7. Headlight Aiming

    Only vertical adjustment. No side-to-side adjustment is possible is stated in the owners manual.
  8. RAT? Chewed thru EVAP can vent tube 90deg silicone rubber elbow coupling and Dealer Invoiced $154.50 for part!

    I’ve had good luck with, believe it or not, Irish Spring soap. I bought some sachet bags from Amazon and put a slice of soap in each one. There are three to four hung in various places under the hood. I haven’t seen any rodent evidence since then.
  9. Cleaning wheels for us old guys

    My back hates bending over for any reason (2 back surgeries with minimal success). The first thing you want to get is one of these, or something similar. Beyond that, I just use car wash soap and a dedicated brush for my wheels. I clean the wheels last and usually start with a fresh bucket of...
  10. What does everybody keep their tire pressure at?

    Mine are Goodyear Wrangler Territory A/TS in 255/70-17.
  11. What does everybody keep their tire pressure at?

    My FordPass recommends 30 psi. Same as the doorframe sticker. 2024 XLT FX4 17” wheels with Goodyear tires.
  12. Head of the EPA says the auto start/stop is going away.

    I disabled it on mine because I don’t like the short delay in restarting the engine when I need to go. If someone else likes it, fine, keep it. But I don't think it should be forced on us without a permanent way to disable it for free. We should have that choice ourselves and not have it forced...
  13. Ford F**king Ranger Doing Truck Things! Post Yours...

    I’m not normally a scold, but please throw a couple of blankets over that tow strap and chain next time. I’ve seen them break with disastrous consequences on off-road trips. If the stump was already loose and just needed to come out of the hole, I apologize for sounding overly cautious.
  14. Remote unlocking passenger doors

    Check under Settings:Vehicle:Locks. There should be a setting in there to unlock all doors with one keypress. Sorry but I’m away from my truck or I’d give more specific instructions.
  15. XLT versus Lariat

    My F-150 had heated mirrors that came on when the rear window defroster was turned on. There was no separate control for them.
  16. One thing I seriously dislike about new vehicles...

    I didn't even consider that as I've never been in a 5G Ranger. But the Bronco rests look to fold a bit flatter. Either way works.
  17. 120V Outlet ?

    My 2024 XLT FX4 has the two 120V outlets - one inside and one in the bed. I had to work on our mailbox posts and brought along my Circular Saw and Jigsaw, as well as the necessary lumber, screws, etc. Imagine my disappointment when none of the plug-in tools worked. I checked the built-in owners...
  18. What does everybody keep their tire pressure at?

    Interesting. I have a 2024 XLT FX4 with the crappy Goodyear tires and both the door sticker and Fordpass say pressure should be 30 psi cold. I made one of those inflator hoses that connect to all 4 tires at the same time, so the tires are all inflated to the same amount. Looking at Fordpass...
  19. One thing I seriously dislike about new vehicles...

    is the rear seat headrests that block the outer 1/3 of each side of the rear window. In the past I rarely carried rear seat passengers but my Grandson has started traveling with us occasionally and he needs a headrest for safety if we get rear-ended. So I reinstalled one headrest for him. And I...
  20. Can someone explain GMRS vs CB, and the benefits of a fixed mount vs handheld?

    1. GMRS has greater range than a CB, which can be very useful in backwoods situations. It’s still nowhere near as long distance as Ham radio, but it’s better than CB. 2. I never saw any difference in licensing requirements between mounted vs handheld, but I never looked. The license is no big...
