    Get a set of singles for the rear too. Swap to the duals whenever you’re towing

    Parts sources

    Specifically a manual transmission shifter assembly and cables for an NPR. I am pretty sure that any year 5th generation will bolt in and other years won't be too far off. I have already tried Busbee. If anyone can recommend another source that would be great.

    Just be happy you weren’t gunned down when the cop couldn’t see what you were doing.

    congrats? Once you impound a vehicle aren't you allowed to search it at that point? What it sounds like you're saying is you'll impound a vehicle in the absence of any actual probable cause to search. What judge would issue a search warrant in the absence of any crime or actual PC?

    You mean normal people who enjoy a medically beneficial plant? It's like you think you're talking to your cop buddies here. It's not funny, it's sad. These are american citizens and you're talking about enforcing antiquated laws that are soon to be in the past. Do us a favor and spare us the...

    I’ve had multiple cops tell me they smelled something in an effort to get consent. Largely Just another bs tactic. I’m glad states are going legal one by one. We’ve been criminalizing a beneficial plant for far too long. Meanwhile we dole out opiate prescriptions to anyone for anything

    Advice needed: 6+ pin waterproof connector to wire Rigid Third Brake light combo

    Deutsch is pretty much as good as it gets and not terribly expensive. They’re easily serviceable and easy to plug/unplug. They involve special tools but you can get around that. Just be sure to order with stamped crimp pins instead of barrels. You need special pliers to crimp the barrels correctly.

    The Bronco can surely tow that much. I believe it’s like I said, Ford doesn’t care to push the limit.

    A semi carries the load through the 5th wheel which makes it much easier to control. Semis pull several times the tractor weight without issue because the 5th wheel puts that weight on the entire chassis, not just the back end of the chassis. A bumper pull setup benefits from a longer wheelbase...

    I don’t know if capability is the right word. A short wheelbase is still capable but it would be more stable while towing if the wheelbase was longer.

    Any thermal load issues are easy to address as well. This won't be the first production vehicle to need some improvements from stock to be a dependable tow vehicle. IMO though, if you need more towing capacity, you're buying the wrong vehicle if you want to do a lot of towing at or near the...

    everything new Ford that I've seen has a PWM electric fan on it. The modern brushless PWM fans are extremely powerful and quiet when not at full speed. If the ranger has a mechanical fan though I'd guess the Bronco would too. Typically engine driven fans move more air but not with the modern E...

    Or they're not inclined to max out the rating when 95% of the owners aren't towing anything near that heavy.

    When towing capacity often boils down to something as simple as different springs, shocks and a hitch, why is everyone so hung up on that?

    Air Cooled V-Twin In A 4x4? Yes, Seriously.

    I guess if you want marginal power and a lumpy idle, this is the swap for you. Cooling it would be simple. Shroud it and install a mechanical or electric fan. Or just use any number of liquid cooled options that would easily fit in there and make more power. I'm all for unique builds but when...
