I forgot about the brake difference on the FX4 vs the XLT. Went back to the store and got the right size.

After a couple of trips to the parts store I realized the brake cylinder for a FX4 LII is not the same as what's used on the regular 4X4. Anyone here know what PN I need?

I have s set of Alcoa rims that are in pretty decent shape but have been neglected in regards to shining them up. What's the best way to polish them and get them nce a shiney again? Is there a factory clear coat on them and if so does it need to be removed?

Well I had the truck out last night and can say the lights are definitely brighter and whiter. Not quite the "reach" I was hoping for but better than the stock bulbs. I encountered some oncoming traffic and no one flashed me while my low beams were on so I hope that means they weren't offensive...

My Ranger's not my daily driver and I don't drve it much at night. But I'll get it out one night this coming week and let you know how the lighting is.

The best vehicle for driving in snow that we had was an AWD Buick Rendezvous. It was relatively heavy for it's size and it had narrow, all purpose radials on it.

Any one here not using the splash shields? I'm talking about the soft rubber pieces located up in the front wheel wells. Looks like they kind of protect the engine bay. My passenger side one is coming apart and not staying in place and the drivers side one is only half there. Any issues with not...

Nope, no Bilstein's or expensive shocks for me. The originals are still on there at 125,000 miles and the squeaking is getting to me.

I have an '03 FX4 and I need to replace the shocks. Will shocks for a 4x4 XLT fit on my FX4?

I picked up a split flange at Autozone. Worked great!

Thanks for your reply. I just did a quick search on YouTube and there are several videos on using a split flange. I might try to go that route.
