I'm getting a new set of BFG A/Ts in the next few days, but I can't decide which size. I think I've decided to stick with my factory 16" wheels, but should I go with 265/70R16s (31x10.5) or 265/75R16s (32x10.5). The 70s have a D load rating and the 75s have an E rating. Pros and Cons to each...

I've got a 2005 Ranger FX4 and I'm getting BFG A/T tires within the next week. I'm going to level the front end approx 1.5" and am trying to decide whether to go with 265/70R16s, or just go all out and get 15x8 wheels and 32x11.50R15 tires. It would only cost an extra $250 to get wheels and...

I'm thinking about installing the 4" Superlift on my 2005 Ranger FX4. I'm trying to decide on some wheels and I'm leaning toward 16" or 17" MotoMetal 951s with 285/75R16 tires or 285/70R17 tires. My questions are: 1- Is there any reason these wheels wouldn't work on my ranger? 2- Does anyone...

I have a 2005 Ranger FX4 with the factory 290 Watt Pioneer/Audiophile 6-CD sound system. I'm thinking about putting in a factory Audiophile deck w/ Aux input from a 2007-2009 Ranger with the same sound system. Will the 2007 deck plug right in to my 2005? What would be involved in adding the Aux...

I grew up off-roading with an Early Bronco that I used to take to Moab a couple times a year. As you might guess, my Bronco wasn't a very reliable daily driver and I couldn't afford 2 vehicles, so I sold it. I now drive a 2005 Ranger FX4 and can't seem to find any lift kits that suit my needs...

I have a buddy who owns a 2000 Ranger with the factory power locks and the when he pushes the "unlock" or "lock" button on his door or his key fob, the locks act like they don't have enough power (umpf) and they won't move. He has to use his key to lock and unlock the doors from the outside of...

I'm aware that the 4x4 RCD lift kits have been discontinued, but I found one remaining kit for sale. :yahoo: Before I spend well over $2k for this kit, does anyone know exactly why the kit is intended for 1998-2002 rangers? What modifications would I need to make in order to make it work on my...

I have a 2005 Ranger FX4 and I'm thinking about installing the Superlift 4" lift kit and I would like to throw on some 33" BFG A/Ts too. I've been looking at wheels and noticed a lot of Tacoma's running 17" wheels with 285/70R17 BFG tires and I love how it looks, but I've never seen 17s on a...
