Yes, a lot of great hiking. If you can carry the necessary water, overnight trips are spectacular.

Thanks a lot!

My calfs hurt for three days afterwards, haha. I really wanted to go up to top of Emory Peak.

Buddy couldn't go with me on this one

Park rules, you wouldn't want to attract a hungry mountain lion...

Thanks for the kind words. Trailer did great on my three month trip. All systems worked as built. It towed fine other than being a rolling brick. Thinking about installing some sort of deflector on front.

Auxiliary tank is great. When I am somewhere with cheap gas I fill it and transfer fuel to tank in states with higher fuel costs. Getting it mounted securely isproblematic. As far as the bumper goes, the main component was the hidden winch bracket and the nudge bar was inexpensive but inadequate as far as protection goes. It became the trucks Achilles heal. It reduces approach angle. I am wanting to remove it and build a custom low profile unit that can withstand a beating.

I posted another video without the music. Thanks

Thanks! 👍

Me too. Gave up on it after less than a minute.

Yes, I purchased the Forscan device and made changes to correct. While in their I also deactivated seat belt alarm and tried to turn on some other things but my base models gauge cluster couldn't display changes.

Thanks 👍

Comes with 16s, the ones I am using are 17s from stock bronco black diamond.

Thanks

Rough country. Originally designed for jeep.

@@bryguybuilds3964 did you have to modify it or did it bolt on directly?

@@Blue_Ranger_Overlanding the bolts securing on pinion needed a spacer which I used a nut.

Because I used 255 80 17s on stock wheel (55 offset) they are just taller. I removed crash bars and plenty of room for even 34s. I have a 2.25in lift and you should be good with leveling kit.

Wildpeak at3w 255 80 17. It is an e load tire. I believe 8 ply.

Nice. Schrock went out of business so even less options.

Bought from American Trucks. It's a Barricade HD stubby front bumper with hidden winch. I paid $460 for it. Thanks for watching videos.

I will add that I selected this bumper mainly for the hidden winch components which are hd. The bumper itself is not as heavy as I would have wanted. The hidden winch trays run like $300 so for another $100 or so I also got the bumper parts. I figure if I am wheeling that hard that it gets damaged I will upgrade to a proper front bumper. Hope this helps.

Nice tank, thanks for sharing!

Thanks

What the dealership will tell you is that ANY modifications not done by ford that contributes to the failure of a part will not be covered under warranty. So, any suspension part failure would not be covered (for example: ball joints, bushings, axle shafts, tie rod ends maybe even steering rack). Being responsible for those parts are a given when you are lifting and running larger tires. That's why the Tremor package is so lame for warranty issues. My thinking is that this generation of ranger is 10 years old and defects in parts hopefully have been worked out. The drivetrain warranty shouldn't be effected by anything I'm doing. My rock sliders are being delivered tomorrow. Once I get them installed I plan to make a video highlighting all the improvements along with the costs. Total cost is definitely under $40k. I will also make an additional video comparing my build to a Tremor. In my opinion everything I've done is way better than the Tremor with the exception of maybe the front struts, which I can upgrade down the road. I will say that the OME kit rides fantastic. Now, I have the time, space, tools and know how to do these mods. If you lacked any of these, the Tremor would be a better option. In reality if the Tacoma had a better engine and transmission the TRD Offroad version would be turnkey minus a tire upgrade and probably the best way to go. Thanks for comment and watching. My videos will start transitioning to the camper build and adventure videos.

For me, it's just my dog and I. I didn't need the extra passenger space. Plus I know I will want the extra foot of truck bed. One suggestion if you end up getting the Supercab is the back seat delete. I did not and after removing rear seat bottoms I then went to remove the seat backs and when removed the back header is unfinished/bare. With the back seat delete the header would be finished. I didn't want to wait for next gen truck because I don't care for all the electronic gadgets. If you are wanting the most safety equipment possible it might be worth waiting on next gen. They will most likely open the order banks for the next generation truck by June. Even after I get the sliders installed I will still be under $40k invested. I love the truck and am looking forward to wheeling it. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks 👍

The truck has only 500 miles and in break-in period. Computer says anywhere between 22-25 mostly back road driving. I am planning a trip over thanksgiving holiday which round trip should be around 2000 miles of mostly highway driving and should get good idea of actual gas mileage. That's part of the reasoning behind wanting to run the 255/80 r17's. Get the ground clearance without the extra rolling resistance and weight associated with a 285/75 r17. The suspension, wheels and tires will be done sometime after the thanksgiving trip which will answer your question which I believe is what you are asking. Tires that came with truck are bridgestone dueler h/t's. Crappy for offroad but should produce highest possible mileage on highway. I'm curious too. Hopefully highway mileage after build still be at least 20. Thanks for the comment.

Wow, I wonder why it's taking this long. When I ordered mine in February it was truck month and my order had only 1 ranger order ahead of me. Small dealer. Yeah, I think they will stop building 22 model years soon. I haven't driven truck much but I love it.
