Ride Review - Fox 2.0 IFP on a 2020 Ranger FX4

This is our Stage 2 for the 2019+ Ford Ranger. We’ll be diving into many different suspension combinations; changing out the shocks, control arms, leaf springs, and other parts. If you want to check out the first upgrade we did to the stock Ranger, see our Stage 1 writeup and Video. Shop your shock options: 2019+ Ford Ranger Shock Buying Guide Stage 1 Findings Going from stock shocks with a spacer to an entry-level performance shock like the Bilstein 5100 gave a great baseline on what kind of changes we can expect to see with future shock changes.

Shock Shakedown at King of the Hammers 2022

The Johnson Valley desert is as good as any to shake down some new vehicle upgrades, specifically 4 new suspension setups. But not the crazy race-setups on a lot of these rock crawlers and race-rigs. We’re talking basic upgrades for the everyday-driver-guy. Off the shelf, bolt-on-basics. Change the game with a few hundred dollars basic. We’ve been to this event a number of times, and each year it keeps getting bigger and bigger. One of the things we were most impressed with this year, which was brand new, is the FPV drone coverage of nearly every major Hammer obstacle, sometimes...

Madness at King of the Hammers 2018

Hammertown, Johnson Valley Maybe this is normal for some of you, living with dust-caked skin day in and day out, zipping around on dirt bikes, UTVs, and quads until your skin is scorched from the desert sun. For a first timer at KOH, it was a fantastic example of extreme offroad culture and community. When entering into Hammertown, one is greeted by a parking lot of heavily modified Wranglers, Cherokees, Franken-Jeeps, bare-bones rock crawlers, toy haulers, side-by-sides, and everything else dirt worthy. Passing by huge manufacturer and offroad camps like Polaris, Can Am, Rockstar Garage, Warn, and tons more, the...
