San Diego BS Thread.

I'll remove the fenders & inner wells, it'll be a cake walk haha..

 

We'll get them in there... Just have to push the cab back about 10" ain't nothing new.

 

Saw the Mexico edition of the new Ford Ranger parked in the lot at our dog park...

 

hmm they bringing it over to the us?

 

Wasn't looking so bad until....HOLY TAIL LIGHT BATMAN !! Jeeezuss is it big enough ??



Plus the big cheesy "R A N G E R" reeks of rump rover, err, I mean range rover haha

 

The US seems to be the only place that designs their trucks differently.

 

There is supposed to be a new Ford Ranger coming out in the US in 2018 I believe.

 

Looks like a Nissan Frontier and a Chevy Colorado had a baby with f-150 tail lights.

 

That ranger has been in Mexico and central america for quite a while, I've rented them a few times on surf trips. Except for the fact that the ones I've rented had car tires that got chewed to hell on dirt roads the truck itself honestly wasn't too bad ...curious what the price point will be when they hit the US. The US desperately needs a 10k base model truck again.

 

Looks like a Nissan Titan raped a baby Tundra and this in an illegitimate offspring.

 

haha

 

Make sure sd truck shop doesnt put a ton of lube on your TC UCAs uniball cause its teflon coated n requires dry lube...i spent a lot of time cleaning mine off after their instal.

 

What type of dry lube do you use for your TCs and how often?

 

You can pick up some dry lube from any bike shop too. I try to put it on every few months. Or if it gets really dirty I'll have to power wash it then throw some on.

 

What she said


Wet lube will attract dirt obviously and can scratch the teflon, tis what I read and what TC recommended to me when I called em....was surprised and bummed Sd truck shop didnt know that.

 

How bad is it to offroad without a hitch receiver (as in if I remove the stock towing hitch)? Will the flex damage the frame? I'd assume the rest of the cross-members along the ladder frame will be enough to keep things together. The reason is primarily for clearance concerns.

 

I'm sure it will be fine. There are people that don't even have a hitch. But keep in mind recovery points. Or lack of them if you take the hitch off.

 

Anyone have a wheel place they go to or recommend? I normally go to discount tire but may check out another place. I am going to scratch the bike idea and just upgrade my truck haha.

 

I got my tires from San Diego Wheel & Tire Outlet https://www.sdtireandwheel.com/
I'm happy with the price and service from those guys. Discount tire is great too though

 

Oh nice around my place too. I'll have to get quotes
Thanks Mike
