  1. Was planning to buy a Bronco, now thinking a Ranger instead???

    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.
  2. Dash Cam - which one?

    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...

  8. Rear Seat Headrest Replacement

    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...
  9. I traded my 24 XLT for a 25XLT

    Conversely, for all those that complain about the short electronic shifter in the ā€˜24 Lariat, I never liked the big manual shifter in my ā€˜21 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.

  11. Can someone explain GMRS vs CB, and the benefits of a fixed mount vs handheld?

    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...
  12. Can someone explain GMRS vs CB, and the benefits of a fixed mount vs handheld?

    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...
  13. Has anyone towed 7,500 lbs.

    I had the 5G Ranger with the older 2.3L… long story short, the 2.3L will get that done. I have the 2.7L in the 6G Ranger now.
  14. Can someone explain GMRS vs CB, and the benefits of a fixed mount vs handheld?

    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...
  15. XLT versus Lariat

    … 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...
  16. Xlt with fx4 has no transmission mode selection button?

    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.
  17. Xlt with fx4 has no transmission mode selection button?

    Look up ā€˜Drive Mode Control’ 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.)
  18. What does everybody keep their tire pressure at?

    I chalk tested my 37in jeep tires and ran them at 28 to have even wear across the tire and 13 when off roading. There’s nothing wrong with 30.
