I caught a sale or two and I bought them piece-by-piece over a year so I'm not entirely sure what I paid for the entire set (don't really want to know :p). Coming from the Jeep world with 3/16" steel plates being the norm, it was honestly kind of nice lifting the 1/4" aluminum plates up into...

It really depends on your use case. If you are planning on taking your Ranger into very rocky terrain and doing proper crawling then without a doubt, the durability and scratch resistance of the harder steel material is likely the better option. As already mentioned, you can always clean the...

My work was giving away some shelving and some Vidmar industrial cabinets, so the car trailer became a utility trailer.

All the holes in the bed are either M6x1.0 or M8x1.25. If the M6 eye bolts are close to fitting but not threading in, it probably is just that there is some bedliner in the threads. You can chase the threads with a tap or potentially use a small 90deg pick to try and scrape them clean. If you...

What's more maddening is that ARB USA has a press release from Jan 11, 2024 bragging about the collaboration with Ford and developing a SEMA vehicle for them. They have pictures of all the parts, but not a single piece is available. Something I point out every chance I get on their social media...

I have a Bestop SuperTop for Truck 2 (the version with interchangeable soft top and tonneau) from a 5G truck on my '24 XLT and I did a post on it here. I was able to make it fit, but the internal bed rail width is wider on our trucks than the 5G was which caused some clamping issues (also a weld...

The tail lights are fastened on the 6G trucks with M6x1.0 threaded fasteners. You could get the same security Torx drive on an appropriate fastener and that would work for you.

The cost difference comes down to a few things. Borla only uses SS, MBRP offers 2 versions in steel and 1 in SS, but even the SS is half the price of the Borla. Borla uses a true dual setup the full length as well as uses a resonator (interestingly the Ford Performance exhaust that is also made...

I wasn't after full panels for my truck (I installed some L-Track instead) and was more interested in what some of the Australian companies offer of bedside pockets, but between shipping costs and wanting something a bit more specific I ended up designing my own and having them made by...

The Ranger: The daily: The toy: The problem child: The "needs to go" The spouse's: Not shown: The spouse's other Mini (Yellow 09 Mini) The jack stand weight (91 XJ Cherokee)

I highly doubt there's any sort of of exclusivity agreement locking ARB in with Toyota in the US (they have parts available for the Bronco and F150). The press announcement I referred to was on the ARB USA site and bragged about the SEMA build which they show in pictures. In the end it comes...

The aftermarket has really lagged in the US, worse so for the non-Raptors and it has definitely been frustrating. ARB is very guilty of this, with a press announcement back in Jan 2024 touting having worked with Ford to develop all sorts of fun things for these truck, yet absolutely nothing is...

I'm pretty happy with it so far, although I wish I had the tent that was 1 size larger. The RTT definitely helps with critters and really wet ground, but I also race cars and when I'm in a sea of asphalt it's nice to be up off the hard hot/cold ground. Definitely not a sleepwalker

I did install the Ford braces on my bed before I put the tent and awning on top. The verbiage from Ford on when they're needed is a bit vague (I'm sure intentionally) and I wasn't willing to risk damage that they could wash their hands of.

Took a trip up into the NY North Country to help out with a collegiate off-road race and spent an extra day and night up in the Adirondacks testing out my current camping setup. The mountains weren't at peak color yet, but still awful nice Then I headed down and played with the Rock Crawl...

Appreciate all the work your team does in bringing out products for our trucks. These look good and the ability to run single or dual slides seems beneficial. I'm sure it's probably not possible, but it would be nice is the single slide only required half the base installed so that the other...

@ShadowDragon24 was that REDARC mount part of the dual battery kit? That's a super slick mount for it otherwise

@braupe has already posted about these tow points with a lot of good pictures here but since I've been documenting the install of the full suite of @RIVAL 4x4 skid plates on my '24 XLT non-FX4 I figured I'd add a video of the install process for these too. These tow points are almost comically...

Part of the problem with a lot of campers is that they end up tongue heavy which would make a WDH more critical. I tow my track car on a 17' open trailer that with spare tires and car is a shade above 5000lb but I can strap the car down where I want on the trailer to achieve the ~10% tongue load...

I added on my new OVS 270 Nomadic awning onto the rack in hopes of testing it and my RTT out next weekend 🤞
