Re: 98 4x4 blinking lights, List of things to check?

I did not hear anything. I drove it home, parked it, and then went out of town the next day I just got back last night, and was hoping to take a look at it today after work.

Re: Request for pics 31 vs 33" tires on a 98 4x4

I take my truck off road, and was wondering what it looked like, and if there were any major rub points.

Re: Can bedliner go bad?? I need a chemist!!

Yes, just like paint, bed liners have stabilizers, elastimers, and other chemicals that keep it in a form to be sprayed on. Those chemicals break down with time/heat. Spoil is probably not the...

Re: Replace rear shock

Hmm... then it really depends on how it rides. If it is bouncy, or dives under hard braking, then I would Look into replacing them. It used to be that you could bounce the corner of a vehicle, and...

Re: Replace rear shock

I almost never buy OEM, since they are typically the exact same as after market but for 2x the price because you buy from a ford dealer.

I put these on mine, and are quite happy:

Re: I need a lift

I haven't lifted my ranger, but in my experience in lifting my jeep, going cheap was a HUGE mistake. $500 doesn't seem like it would be enough for a quality lift.

Re: 2002 Edge - Manual - 2WD Snow Truck...

2wd trucks can be OK in the snow with a decent tire, and a quite of bit of weight in the back. My FIL keeps sand bags in the bed, as close to the tail gate as possible. These trucks ride better with...

Re: V8 swap follow ups?

Explorers use the same platform, so it's a direct drop in. Cuts out 2/3rds the work that most swaps require.

Re: how do I store my truck for 4 months?

Yeah, slather it on any electrical connection, normally your engine bay gets hot and drives off moisture, but sitting, that won't happen, so you will want to cover anything exposed.

Re: Good year wrangler radials

with that little of driving, I would be getting pretty cheap tires, and budgeting to replace them every few years (and hitting up for warranty replacements as well).

Re: Good year wrangler radials

x2 on looking up the date code, but tires can rot if they sit. Tires have an oil in them that gets worked through the tires when they are driven that keeps them soft/protected from UV, if let to sit,...

Re: 31" tires

I don't think I would want super swampers on a daily driver... Talk about loud and they would wear very quickly. Like 10-15k miles MAX.
