I have gone shooting with my cousin the past couple weeks and have become COMPLETELY hooked. My favorite hand gun was his revolver (don't remember caliber but its 20 years old). I'm looking to purchase something for target shooting and self defense during camping trips. Looking for...

For the life of me I cannot get these pads to stop squealing! They are semi-metallic. Rotors are in great shape. All moving parts where cleaned and greased. Even tried applying a vibration absorbing coat on back of pads but no luck. Replaced some worn cheapo pads from napa (semi-metallic that...

Has anyone tried using an inner tube as a camp chair? Really it would be awesome for backpacking because it compresses down so small. Just gotta keep it a safe distance for flame and not to set it on some sharp rocks. Something designed for swimming, not a tire tube.

What is the amp draw for low/high beam on a 2001 xlt ranger? Both my low and high beams seem to be quite dim and before I go hooking up my multi meter wanna know if it is above 10amps. The bulbs are brand new.

I want to put some 31" General Grabbers on my truck. Was thinking about picking up some 3" flare Fiberwerx fenders. Will these fit my tires on a 15x7" or 15x8" wheel with 3.75" backspacing?

Will a 16x8 wheel with 4.50" backspacing work with a fabtech spindle that says to use a 15x7 with 3.75" backspacing? Just wondering if the increase in wheel diameter will clear the spindle/brake components without putting more stress on the outer wheel bearing. Hoping to install a set of KMC XD...

So the wiring harness on my truck had to be rebuilt about a month ago. They did a great job, until I went to change my oil yesterday. When I went to remove the filter the harness was RIGHT over the filter. After creating a few sparks with the filter wrench I finally just stabbed it with a screw...

I'm looking to lift the front of my Ranger with a pair of Eibach coil springs. Was wondering if the Moog ball joints that have 10 degrees of extra stud swing will work. The control arms are about $80 each, more in my price range than a $600 set.

Hi everyone! In order to graduate with an associate degree in automotive technology I need to complete a special project. So I have chosen to modify my stock 2001 2wd Ranger to make it more capable on forest service roads and off road in general. Right now I'm just waiting on some scholarship...

Did a search and found a couple threads but was disappointed with the results. Want to install the 5.5 kit on 31s and wouldn't mind seeing some other rangers. I want to put mine on General Grabbers with KMC XD Enduro 15x7" wheels.

I currently drive my 2001 2wd Ranger completely stock on the roads and trails north of Phoenix. It is quite a rush sliding through corners and flooring it down straightaways however after last weekend I need to do some modifications. I lost control of the truck and took it down into a ditch full...

Top ones real, bottom one is a replica but still quite sharp. The dinky knife underneath is about an inch long for reference. I enjoy taking them on camping trips so I can practice without worry. Ceilings just a little too low and you can't get the feel for the weapon if you only practice with a...

So went to start my truck today and instead of turning over the horns started. This happened a couple times. Now when I turn the key the interior lights start strobing and you can hear the starter armature/reaction disk moving back and forth however the engine does not even begin to try and...

What sort of load rating do I want for a prerunner's wheels? The aluminium wheels I am looking at are 1600lbs, while the steels (which are half the price) are 2200lbs. They are similar in look and built by the same company. Aluminium Steel

Are large tires necessary for a prerunner? A lot of people are running 33"s and 35"s. I want to run 31"s and a camburg 5.5 performance kit and not worry about fiberglass fenders. According to camburg's website this would work. Are there advantages to running a larger tire size? As long as I go...

Year: 2001 Engine: 3.0L V6 Transmission: 5R44E Automatic Drive: 2wd Current gears: 3.73 Current tires: 235/75R15 Future tires: 31x10.5x15" This will be a prerunner and DD. Monday-Thursday will be a mix of highway and street driving. Weekends will be off-roading. The gear calculator says that...

So I want to build a sudo-prerunner that will look good but handle more like stock. My idea is to use Camburg's spindles and upper control arms but retain the stock spring and shock. It would get a 3" lift, wider stance, more durable spindle/arm and handle well. Along with some glass fenders I...

I am currently trying to decided what size tires to run on my 2wd ranger after adding glass and Camburg 5.5. 35"s would be nice however I have heard that they are difficult to balance and can create unwanted vibrations at highway speeds. Are 33"s any better assuming they are mounted on the same...

What is done to allow 98+ Rangers participating in the 7100 class of desert racing (7s) to use the OE upper and lower control arms and still manage to get 12" of wheel travel?

I'm looking to soften the ride of my 01 Ranger XLT to better absorb road shock. However I don't want the truck's ride height lowered by using springs with a lower spring rate. Does anyone know of a company that makes softer springs that are longer/taller to compensate for this?
