A compressor that can inflate everything from pool floats to a tire would be great
One where you can set the pressure and not have to fiddle with a phone. A simple physical interface like those automatic tire inflaters you might see at a gas station.
Something that can withstand harsh...
I’m going to try to get another video tomorrow without the squeaking breaks. Hopefully clearer audio of the almost alien water sounding noise will help with the diagnosis
Can anyone help identify this noise and if it’s something to be concerned about? Ford Dealer seems to think that it’s some temperature sensor allowing coolant to flow as the engine heats up. Dealer think it’s normal. Here’s the scenario…
Remote start the vehicle for 30s as I’m running out the...
Do you have any pics of install? Specifically how you went about installing it on the front fender. How much did it reduce the road noise in your option? Sounds like it would be worthwhile!
Here are my thoughts on it…
For spotting deer off to the sides of a roadway I went with two driving pattern lights mounted on the A-Pillar. I angled them out to add to the width of the high beams.
For bad weather or dust you will want to keep the lights below the hood to reduce light bouncing...
The Baja Designs Lighting Zones article and video is a great start in my option. Ultimately the lighting set up is going to depend heavily on what kind of driving you’re doing
I haven’t had a chance to pull the liner out. But i don’t think there is any metal to put CLD on in between the engine bay and wheel well. From what I’ve seen the only barrier between the engine bay and wheel is the wheel well liner.
I’ll have to take a look at that, my plan was to use a layer of CLD and then a layer of Fiber Mat. That plan went out the window when I learned the liner is felt on both sides
Has any one put sound deadening/ absorption material on the wheel well liners? If you have what was the process? Were the results worth it?
The goal is to reduce road noise. From what I can tell they are felt so CLD won’t adhere well to them. But I’ve been told 3M AU6002 w/ 3M 90 spray or Fiber...
That’s a sweet build! Love the bumper and marker lights combo.
I do have one more question. I installed the lights and decided to use the chassis ground point. It sparked a couple times when I removed it. From what I read that might just be left over capacitor charge from electrics that are...
That sounds awesome! What bumper did you go with? Been a thinking about getting one my self. As for the #6 switch, that’s good to know as I’d like to add more lights in the future.
Did some more digging too and it looks like #3 and #4 (located at the back of the truck) also have associated...
Thanks for the response, I’ll have to look into that. A couple of questions…
The HT2 stud as shown in this diagram right?

Have you removed this stud before? I’m curious if you know the size of the bolt that goes...
Appreciate the suggestion. Unfortunately this is not recommended by ford.
Refer to 2024 Ranger Owner Manual page 411. The section on electrical accessory installation advises against this as it could mess with the battery management system.
What are some chassis grounding points that already exist in the engine bay?
My plan is to wire some A-Pillar lights to Aux switch 1. I found the positive wire associated with Aux switch 1, and from what I’ve read, the ground should be attached to the chassis. I’m wondering where an existing...
