I had a very modified Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that I sold for the Ranger. No regrets as my needs have evolved. The one thing you should consider is whether or not you want or need front lockers. If you do, the Ranger Raptor is the only trim level with front lockers.
I have the VIOFO A139 Pro 4k 2ch. I had the Viofo A229 in my last truck, but didn't like it's overall size on the windshield since I use the phone app to view the videos anyway. I like the A139 better. Here are day and night videos that I captured. I wired the cameras to the USB port, so the...
A few days ago, I saw a thread about rear seat folding headrest options from the 5G and Bronco models and decided to go with the 5G folding option. It is an exact match to my leather trim and stands about 3/4in taller than the original. The 90° fold works perfectly to allow the backrest to fold...
Conversely, for all those that complain about the short electronic shifter in the ā24 Lariat, I never liked the big manual shifter in my ā21 Lariat. I also like the added technology that comes with the electronic shifter. The 2.7L engine is way better than the old 2.3 too. Loving my new truck.
The point is that you can estimate the likely range in miles of signal travel using formulas. Besides the hardware characteristics, the actual range is highly impacted by a number of factors: modulation type, foliage density, physical obstructions (hills, buildings, etc.), multipath (things the...
So, I decided to use a simple online link budget calculator to see it what shows.
First I tried a fixed mobile unit with a 6dB antenna to a handheld unit with 2.5dB antenna. The radio manufactures don't tell you what the receiver sensitivity is but you can estimate that as the Noise Power in 20...
I've worked in the radio field for 40+ yrs... I've mapped out link budgets for UHF, Communication Satellite, GPS, and cellular radio systems and have a deep understanding of antenna gain, power, transmission line loss, cascaded noise figures, noise figure, signal to noise, etc.
Here are a...
⦠I bought a 2017 mustang with the V6. It had 90% of the things I wanted or needed. I loved the car. Six months later, I wished I had bought the GT, bigger engine and better suspension.
Lesson learned from having bought what I need versus what I want. I went with the Lariat. I had a 2016 Jeep...
Each model has a different control button setup. On mine the three smaller buttons control park assist, traction on/off, and auto start on/off. The long button controls the modes. Other models seem to use the right-most small button to control the mode. It will be the one with multiple symbols.
Look up āDrive Mode Controlā in the operators manual. The four-button switch pack left of the 4WD rotating knob sets the various modes (sand, snow, crawl, mud, slippery, etc.)
