    Car audio brands- what's junk, whats good enough?

    I recently put a Boss HU in my 03 Ranger and it is great, I got it on sale at Walmart for like $100 bucks and it has Apple CarPlay and a 7" screen. I also have some Pioneer 6x8's in the front doors, also from Walmart. The rear speakers are stock, and given the head unit can supply 85 watts I'm...

    I Know, It's an EV

    Thats the first ev that has actually peaked my interest by looking cool. I say that because I've seen tesla 0-60 times and thought, "wow, that's stupid fast, That could be cool to experience". I hope that makes sense.

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    215k minimum, I'd bet she'll get another 300k or so

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    I hear that they give you 4 brakes for redundancy, you really only need 2, even 1 if you like to live on the edge

    What did YOU do today?

    lol. I meant a full-blown post on the entire installation, but if you guys want a post on how to blow rear speakers I might be able to make that happen.

    What did YOU do today?

    I installed a new head unit in my truck, a 2003 Ranger XLT Supercab. It sounds really good and I like the backup camera and the Apple Carplay. FYI though, if you are going to do this, make sure you buy a dash kit before starting the installation. I didn't. I was still able to get the head unit...

    Which 4.0 engine is preferred, the OHV or the SOHC?

    Yep, the oil was definitely thicker lol. It took a little effort to move the stick shift, which isn’t too surprising. I would have thought the passenger one was hard to get to given that it’s at the back of the engine, in that the driver side tensioner was the easy one. I guess you never know...

    Which 4.0 engine is preferred, the OHV or the SOHC?

    Not sure if it was going on before I got the truck last December. I first noticed it early-mid January when it got really cold (below 0* F) for a week or two. Not sure if that had anything to do with it, but I thought I’d mention it anyways.

    Which 4.0 engine is preferred, the OHV or the SOHC?

    I have a 03 4.0 SOHC manuel that has 187k miles and to the best of my knowledge has never had the tensioners done. I bought the truck last December from an older couple who babied the truck (oil changes done every 5k miles, etc), so I have a little hope they got the tensioners done, but I don't...

    4.0 sohc feels low on power

    Yep. Don't get me wrong, Cali is beautiful, but the politics and policies aren't ideal. I live in eastern Washington so I don't have any emissions crap to deal with thankfully.

    4.0 sohc feels low on power

    Thanks. It actually was a clogged exhaust. What happened was the 3rd cat broke apart for some reason, and all the little particles from #3 flowed down with the exhaust and clogged up #4. To fix it I had the 3rd cat replaced with a universal Magnaflow and the 4th cat was cut out and had a...

    Off road bumpers??

    I just started another shop class a couple of weeks ago when the 2nd semester started. Right now we doing a small engines unit but we should be starting a welding one soon. I'll talk to my teacher and see what he thinks. As of now, we are on good terms as I am one of the few kids in his class...

    Off road bumpers??

    I've thought about that, but at the moment I don't have the money to buy the bumper and the welder, as I am in high school and have a part-time job. Not to say I couldn't save for it though. I like some of the Affordable Offroad brand DIY ones' and I like the customizability available.

    Off road bumpers??

    I can weld, courtesy of highschool metal shop classes, but I don't have access to a welder I could use.

    Off road bumpers??

    Hello, I'm looking for an off road front bumper for my 03 4x4 ranger. Any suggestions? I've looked at and I like some of the Affordable Offroad DIY ones but I don't have access to a welder. I've also seen some on Amazon that look good, I'll link it below. Thanks Bumper On Amazon

    Screeching noise when attempting to start truck

    I plan on checking it out tomorrow. I did notice some grooves on the top of the belt that don't look like they are supposed to be there

    Screeching noise when attempting to start truck

    Ok. Could it have anything to do with a bad battery? It got REAL cold where I live last month. It was down in the -10* daily for 2 weeks.
