Apologies for bringing up an old thread, but this build looks sweet! How's daily drive-ability and fuel economy with the 35's?

Thanks for the detailed response, Jason. I'm sold! I'll be ordering from you guys sometime in the rear future :) As far as a rear leaf pack goes, hopefully Old Man Emu would come out with something for the NA Ranger soon!

Looks awesome, @Stage3Motorsports ! How is the on-road ride with the Fox coilover kit? Does it firm up the front and smoothen out the rear a little bit?

If you had rough paint with bubbles, sounds like it was defective to me. I would have talked to the dealer first to see what options they provide for truly defective paint. I also hope the "high end body shop" wasn't blowing smoke up your ass to get more money from you. But either way, your...

What do you mean by factory paint job very poor? How so?

I don't doubt you know what you're talking about and I am by no means a pro. Just someone who enjoys vehicle detailing and likes learning about it, so thanks for sharing your knowledge. That being said, clay bar is still an abrasive. Wet sanding with 10,000 grit will still be pretty low...

I see the word clay bar thrown around a lot around here and I believe there is some misconceptions for clay bar. Clay bar is quite aggressive to the paint, and if you do it too often, you'll literally strip the clear coat away. Therefore, you only clay bar when you need it. With plenty of...

Love it! Just the right amount of lift. How's the ride and handling? Also, it seems like everyone is having issues with driveshafts popping out - any tips to prevent this?

I'm running 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W's, stock suspension! The tires are just over an inch taller than stock and I love the tires, especially for their value. They clear mud very well, air down nicely, quiet on the highway, and well built. Definitely an upgrade from OEM. I talk about the...

Good point, I'll do that next time!

I'll try out Youtube! Starting a Youtube channel just sounds like....work haha. I'll definitely look into it to make viewing more user friendly, thanks for the tip! I'm out in the Plymouth area! But you'll find me in Dearborn a lot for work. You can probably put two and two together ;)

Thanks! Yeah it was a tun of fun, a little nerve wracking at times too haha. Yep, I kept it in the Mud/Ruts mode most of the time. I've noticed that if you just keep it in normal 4H in mud, the throttle is too laggy since you have to wait for the engine to downshift which can be problematic...

Let's use this thread to post off-roading/wheel pics and videos! I'll start. This past weekend I drove down to Rush Off-road park in Rush, KY and took the Ranger. Huge, technical park with a labyrinth of never ending trails. Everyone at the park stared at the Ranger and remarked, "you're taking...

Any pics of the inside?

$25!! Haha and I bet all you needed was a Philip's screw driver...

Actually that's a really good idea - I might do a DIY on that. Agreed that they're absurdly expensive...the only thing I'm bummed about the XLT is that you don't get the LED headlights. Someone looked at Ford parts to do a Lariat headlight swap and it came out to $3200 or so...it's crazy!

I plan to keep my truck for years (car payments suck - I need to get my money's worth lol) so if the truck gets some bruises while doing things that it was intended for I'm okay with that. A true ceramic coat/clear wrap will undoubtedly provide better protection, but for $15/bottle and ease of...

+1 vote on Meguir's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. I truly do think this product is the end-all-be-all solution for a daily driver. After washing the truck, initial application took me about 30 minutes. Here are the steps that I took for initial application: Wash car thoroughly with a 50/50 mix of car...

It definitely looks better covered with mud! Yep, this was just muddy field so no issues with ground clearance there haha. Planning on going to an ORV soon, but will need tires for sure.

Ha, I'm not too sure if I want my Ranger to sound quite like a ecoboost mustang :whew:
