Have to agree with you on this. I've sold hundreds of these before I retired. The only time I ran into any issues was about 15 years ago as it seemed they had a bad batch manufactured. I probably sent 5-6 back to them under warranty. I would always give the customer a new one after our service...
Nice mods, and the stance is just about perfect. Your post reminded about the SEMA show I attended in 2021 and 2011. The vehicles there are amazing, especially the Chip Foose Experience. He had about a dozen of his builds there.
The theme at the 2021 show seemed like it was all about...
I just went out and measured mine. They are Ford OEM running boards off a 2019 Ranger.
Got them for $100 on FB Marketplace. They definitely tuck in under the rocker panel more than the correct ones for this truck. While I don't use them for getting into or out of the truck they are useful for...
My on screen MPG generally shows a little higher than actual mileage. I have a 24 4X4 with the 2.3L.
I recently took a trip from western MA to north western NC to visit my brother and his family.
I went down in eco mode and back in standard mode. On the way down my screen MPG showed 26.1 My...
Agreed. I live in a 1000sf 2 bedroom ranch on about 1 acre and my property tax is about $4200 a year.
Every state is going to tax you somehow. They just do it a little different. I'm in Massachusetts where we pay income tax. New Hampshire has no income tax, but they have sky high property tax...
Check your seat height adjustment. When I got my 24 Ranger I was surprised at how difficult it was to get into, and I'm only 5'9". Come to find out the seat height was all the way up and I had to duck to get in. With it in a lower setting I can just slide right in without climbing in or ducking...
Thanks for the info. I'm thinking I won't need to remove the whole mirror. The only part damaged is this bezel. If its removable from the new mirror it looks to be an easy fix. Unfortunately it's not sold separately I'll need to purchase the entire mirror assembly just for this part.
I'll start. Smacked my drivers side mirror on the door frame backing into the garage the other day.
I'll be using the power fold from here on out.
Curious how hard it is to replace. The last time I had to replace a mirror was on my 2003 F150. Mirrors back the were not as technologically...
Purchased my Ranger 1 year ago. It now has 4,593 miles. Low operating costs are one of the perks of being retired. I love not having to drive so much. I sold my F150 with 240k on it and my Lesbaru with 195k earlier this year.
I pay $60 every 2 years here in Massachusetts. Although my first excise tax bill was $620. Some things are surprisingly cheap here. When I see what people in other parts of the country pay I feel kind of lucky money wise. (Politics.... don't get me started). I pay full coverage insurance for my...
Before I retired I worked in the Powersports industry. We sold Joe Rocket heated gloves. They get very warm. Ive only used them a few times on my motorcycle, but many times when blowing snow. They get unbearably hot on the highest setting to the point your hands are sweating. They work great on...
This would be most useful to keep snow out of the bed if I can't park it inside during a snow storm. Shoveling snow and ice out of the bed of a pickup is the worst. Lots of other reasons to have a bed cover, but this is #1 for me. Also, owning a truck without a bed cover is kind of like owning a...
Added used OEM Ford running boards. $750 new from Ford, $100 on Facebook Marketplace. I don't necessarily need them, I'm 5'9" and can just slide into the seat without having to climb in. Mostly got them for shorter people, and for $100 why not. Plus I can wash/wax the roof, and clean the...
I went with the soft cover. After discount codes and my used points I think I paid a little over $200.
I had one similar on my 2003 F150 and it lasted 240K with no rip or tears, just had to replace a few broken snaps. I like that the entire bed is accessible when rolled up as opposed to a trifold.
