I had issues with my fuel gauge, it was reading backwards so I decided to move the bed and test it but when I slide the bed back I broke one of the fuel fitting. I had to order a new fuel asy from rockauto, in a meantime I decide to get the bed down and power wash everything after That I went to get some rust protection paint and here is my work 😁😁 before and after pics.







New fuel asy

All back together

 

Today i rewired all of my aftermarket stuff. i was alot stupider 6 months ago, i got rid of my light bar because it was full of water. now we have arrived back at pawpaw truck level. i also wiried in an 8 inch bazooka tube and amp.

 

where did you send it? That’s nice to know you can refurbished them

 

You must have missed it, SAFETY RESTORE

Crawled underneath, fired uo with buzzbox, and patched an exhaust leak. The best part about the fx4? Dont even need to jack it up to get underneath

 

I ordered some new tires. BF Goodrich 35x12.5R15 All terrain tires. I hope they come quick cuz I need the truck to get back to work.

 

do you have a lift? Will those 35 will fit without any lift on a level II FX4?

 

Just replaced my clutch fluid with some fresh dot3. Being super careful to not let any air in the line or let the reservoir completely empty. From what I've seen it's a complete nightmare to fix if air gets into the line. Because it has a section that hooks up around the frame the only way to get an air pocket out is to remove the lines and master cylinder and reservoir assembly and bench bleed it. So note to anyone else doing this better to go slow and keep checking reservoir than to rush it and let any air into the line.

 

I ordered my BF Goodrich 31-10.5x15 already installed them, the shop didn’t tell me my TPMS sensor weren’t there so now I have to un do them to install them, already ordered them OEM motorcraft from rock auto today!

 

Puppy got spayed so I took the "babysitting day" to burn the needed time to tediously stitch on the steering wheel cover I've had on the workbench for weeks.

 

That’s some nice steering handiwork!

First real snow of the season today. Hit four high and she started rattling and clanking. Although disengaging turned off indicator, clanking persisted. Had to do a five point turn back to driveway. So she’s parked. Funny, I was just about to go camper shopping off season. Not going to be towing anything soon.

 

Performed the throttle cable/zip tie fix. Sure enough, there was some slack. While I had my fat **** wedged in down there, I also tightened the 30mm Torx bolts for the loose shifter fix. Sure as heck, they were loose. I didn't use any Locktite this time. Next time, I'll send my skinny, young, flexible, buddy down there to do it.

 

 

Oh man! That sucks! We have loads of deer up here too. I was thinking of getting one of those grill guards like you have.

 

I'm looking to buy wheel spacers for wrangler.I'm looking to stay under $300. maybe 1.5" would be better.Any good recommendations？
I've seen someone modified his wrangler like this, I really like its stance,





It seems might be 1.5" wheel spacers?

Anyone can tell me what marker lights are those?

The spacers in the pic from bloxsport , seems to change their brand name into BONOSS, so did anyone use bonoss Wheel Spacers before? If so, what was your experience?

 

Why would you go to all the trouble to find and then join a "Ford Ranger" forum to ask about something for a Jeep ?
Why not join a Jeep forum ?

 

Because he figured Ranger people are very smart and know everything?

 

I just went through the spacer hunt for my Ranger and many Wrangler and Ranger spacers are supposed to be interchangeable.

 

Finished the 1.5" lift/bigger tire project with 1.5" hub-centric spacers. Pleased.

 

You notice performance or handling differences with lifts and spacers?

 

Absolutely. Different truck. Even with the T-bar crank (5 turns, plus alignment) and short shackles, it rides far more firm and perfectly flat now in corners, even on our crappy country roads. Like a 4x4 should ride. No more super-spongy ride.I don't mind a little harshness. It's a truck. I'm sure the new Rancho shocks helped. as well. Regarding the spacers, to me it's about looks. If I get more stability by growing three inches wider, cool! Admittedly, I've never been a Ford guy, but I'm really falling in love with this little truck. I think it's going to be around for a long time to come!

 

Replaced the front door speakers and while in there, used sound deadening I had on the shelf to insulate the doors. Really helped on the "tin can" sound when you close the doors

. Back doors and speakers maybe tomorrow.

 

Installed the Predator 2 today. Limited tunes for the 2001 4.0 SOHC, probably due to CARB Approval (50 state legal version). Happy so far.

 

Tried using the headlight restorer kits....twice (Turtle Wax and then Mothers) and I think at 21 years old, they were just too yellowed to be nice again, so I replaced them and upgraded to LED's. The black buckets were the same price


as the chrome so I thought with the factory Silver Frost, they'd look awesome.

 

Wow! That looks really nice, where did you get the new lights and which LEDs did you get and do you see a big difference? When I drive my wife's car with Xenon and get into my truck it's as if I have candles not headlights in comparison. Thanks
