Maintenance advice for the new RANGER

[lighthammer]

Please don't rice it up nah man, save that for the Vigo's and navarararara's (mine not riced).

If you want original accessories (i.e. the chrome bar that comes with the Thunder/Hurricane models) check 4x4 Trinidad (6724691) or Kazim Ali (6807104). 4x4trinidad has a lot of the bling-stuff, Kazim Ali brings in the original stuff. He did my spray-on liner and reverse sensors, as well as my Greddy turbotimer and the price was great, and install jobs very very clean. He's also cheaper than buying it from Ford, yet it's the same original accessories.

Also if you need original parts, oil filters, belts, etc. - check ROC in bamboo. 6634762. They're a lot cheaper than McEarney, in fact they sometiems supply them with parts when their warehouse stock runs out.


Don't give into the rice.... be strong brother.
Keep on Truckin'!

dont worry guys, not into the chrome too much. im keeping it simple, jus the bed liner, running boards, metal retractable tray cover and some black rims oh and the spoiler if i get it. chrome is for wussies . i bought a truck, not a silver christmas tree

[Sierra-117]

Dont forget the other essentials to keep in the truck:

- recovery gear and shovel
- walkie talkies
- GPS
- a can of Scotch Guard to make ur seats water-resistant
- cooler
- spotlights for ur rollbar
- plastic forks and napkins for impromptu runs for bake and shark (i have plenty napkins)
- CARSEARCH!!!! (damned guntas tiefing trucks left right and center....)

There are many out there that have pads to fit the Ranger.
Mintex, BOSCH, Wagner, GIC; All between 150 - 250.

To me, they are all crap. The first 3 makes friggin noise, the GIC is quiet, holds ok, but there is alott of brakedust. (That's what I using now..)

Original is best, from what guys on the threads have said, ROC has them for about 800.

Going to change back to originals at 30K service in May/June.
That's going to be a $5000 service.

ROC?? Who/where are they?? when I changed the pads on my Ranger, i couldnt afford the orig, and OHK was d only available replacement,,, BIG MISTAKE!!

[lighthammer]

ROC is a FU dealer and they bring in original parts for most of the local pickups.

Located in Bamboo, about 1/4 mile down from the temple/playing field, on the left side.
Can't miss it.
