    Greatly depends on quality of tune and the tuner not going too far.

    New Bronco

    I have heard the 3.0eb rumored for the warthog/Raptor, never the 3.5.

    New Bronco

    Factory was 3.31 with dinky 235/75-16's. I regeared it to 3.73 and it runs 32's beautifully which is close to a factory optional combination.

    New Bronco

    Not really, the overdrive in my F-150's 4R70W (4spd) is .67, the 10R60 (10spd) in the new Bronco .63.

    New Bronco

    + torque converter mayhem... an automatic is much less picky about it for crawling than a manual.

    New Bronco

    LOL. I didn't catch it defaults to manual. Automatic is 4.46. Kinda what I thought. It's weird they are fixated on deep gearing all the sudden.

    New Bronco

    Badlands comes standard with 4.70 gears with the automatic and rolls on 33's. Sasquatch comes also comes with 4.70's but 35's. So there would be a slight difference to be felt for the engine in addition to a wider and heavier tire/rim, they didn't counter the bigger tires with a different gear...

    Which new 1 Ton Diesel would you buy?

    Kind of a limited sample but it looks like a lot of fleets around me are swinging from Ford to Ram. John Deere service trucks, utility companies, city street department, county roads department etc. All used to be only Fords but seem to be slowly replaced with Rams. I am really considering...

    What do you carry on your bumper?

    I am kind of spoiled with a pickup/topper. I can carry fuel inside but it isn't really "inside" Usually it is just like for the lawn mower or tractors though, I don't need to carry extra fuel on the trail for what I do. If I happened upon a dual tank bed I was going to snag a factory rear...

    Sound damping a vehicle, the right way

    She ain't a Cadillac, and she ain't a Rolls... I just used the cheap NOCO stuff from Amazon and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I covered the floor and rear cab wall with the stuff. Truck has a steel inner roof, offroad tires, no A/C and glasspacks... its never going to be all...

    Ranger - pros/cons considering maintenance/reliability

    Externally it is a little wider. Midsize sounds better than compact is my theory.

    New Bronco

    I saw pictures of your Bronco on Facebook! And pretty much everything 6 lug aside from the F-150.

    Restored Warn winch- Before and After

    The M8000 (so was the M6000) was in the accessory catalog for my '85, I have been on the fence about fixing up a old one or just getting a new one. Neat to see one brought back!

    Long Distance '85 Ranger Build

    My FIL just inherited the '91 Ranger his FIL bought new and he wanted to swap the split bench for buckets. I have already went down that road and did not care for how Explorer buckets fit in a standard cab... so he offered me the 66k mile split bench. So I dug the tracks out of the barn and...

    060s skamper roof repair

    Mine was in pretty good shape, the bolts pulled thru the back and side boards on the right side. I have directions on how to disconnect the lift mechanism in my build thread in my sig. From there remove the bolt at the front of the torsion tubes (they mount to rear wall of the camper and...

    060s skamper roof repair

    Yup, your back board is giving up. The four bolts along the back should be aligned. I am slowing replacing the boards in my 072S (basically a longer 060S) if you have questions. I have learned a lot and have taken a lot of pics, I want to post a thing on it once I get it done.

    Not sure I will be able to get her to drive mine... There will be a old Ranger making an appearance in the employee parking lot from time to time though. :cool:

    New Bronco

    Yeah, hard pass on the softtop for us. I just got a job at the local Chysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealer... I mentioned forgetting the Bronco when I am eligible for a discount and just getting a Wrangler as we could probably get one sooner and a lot cheaper. Nope, she gotta have a Bronco. ?
