    2001 Ranger XLT Shock Towers

    Usually other parts underneath fail before the shock towers do. Things like rear shackles and spring hangers come to mind. Come to think of it, I've yet to hear of any shock towers needing replaced before the rear frame half needing replaced. You sure a simple wire wheel and paint job won't...

    shackles and shackle hanger

    The shackles themselves are the same from 1983-current. The hangers may have changed when the rear frame changed in '98.

    Couple of questions

    It would be wise to bleed even if it may not be needed. The valve/sensor is screwed right into the master cyl where brake fluid is and pressure is built up. I don't know positively, but I suggest bleeding it anyway.

    new owner, 04 XLT, no manual

    You can shift into and out of 4hi "on-the-fly"....meaning I believe anytime under 40mph. Flip the switch and you'll see the light on the dash say 4hi. I like to throttle out when doing it in this method because I'm a manual....I've never read the owner manual on "proper" use of this creature...

    03 Headlight clearance for HID Projectors

    Hi Shawn. Have you chosen projectors yet? I HIGHLY suggest checking out the folks over at TheRetrofitSource. The room you've measured, not one quality projector would fit. I've had my retrofits in for about 2 years now and they've been flawless. Running 5Five 50w ballasts and...

    The "OFFICIAL" guns, ammo & stuff thread

    It'd be cool to have Magpul and Palmetto in the same state. I imagine a special PMAG shall be introduced when the move is official. But today they posted a little something something about Dallas-Fort Worth. Foreshadowing maybe?

    33s on 15x10

    DAMN! I would have done it as soon as I had the 1330's on-hand. But hindsight is 20/20 and sh!t happens. Where's the damage to the shaft? What part actually was damaged? The u-joint cup ears? She should've been yelling at you like hell before she went pop. Especially at low speeds...

    33s on 15x10

    -38mm = about 1.5". -38 means off center inward(negative). Should be 3.5" backspace. Or about 1/8" more sticking out than most 10" rims....so almost nothing. Most are 3.625 to 4". As for 15x10 and 33x12.50....it's common. Definitely not as common as 15x8's, but it does look good on a...

    Front end issues

    I would get the stock bolts back in it and remove the AAL or the block. The 'safe' amount of cranking of the adjustment bolts (stock bolts maxed) will not compensate for the added lift above stock out back. The new stock adjustment bolts are only a few bucks at Ford. I bought a set about 2...

    Ammo Shortage

    From what I've read and from what the rounds themselves say on them, the Herter's I posted above is repackaged and steel cased TulAmmo. I put around 40 rounds of it through the new AR on it's first trip out a couple weeks ago. No issues, fires fine. A wee bit on the dirty side though. Only...

    Interior is almost done.

    I don't recall ever offering anyone my single spare set of LII hooks....told myself I'm not selling them after I sold the other three pairs some 3 years ago! Looks good! AWESOME deal on those hooks!! All the hardware on your existing painted bumper fits the new chrome bumper. I don't...

    Front end issues

    Let us first figure out what makes up that 5-6" of lift listed in your sig. Truck set up please... Also, what all got replaced? Was it professionally aligned afterward? What is the alignment condition....too much toe...too far negative camber...caster off??? Are the tires wore out...

    Want to buy: Washer bottle

    The round coolant over-flow bottle and windshield washer bottle assembly is found on 2.3L Duratec Rangers. 2001.5-2012. It is a two piece design where as the 3.0 and 4.0 and older 2.5L/2.3L 4cyl models are two tanks molded into one piece. As far as interchange possibility, I don't see Ford...

    Interior is almost done.

    Looks good! I had a tweak with my bumper where the outside was tweaked downward...so the gap near the wheel well was angled downward. Luckily, the factory bracketry allowed me to counter-tweak. Loosened the corner bracket bolts, shoved the bumper upward, tightened bolts. 10mm bolts and...

    Need new 4.5" Angle Grinder

    I LOVE my Dewalt. D28402. I used to use the same grinder 12hrs a day, 5-7 days a week doing weld finishing for x-ray and parent metal defect refinishing for pits in a spiral pipe mill......they seemed to last quite a bit longer than the Bosch and Makitas of similar specs we were using prior...
