Wheeling at Ray Rocks in Missouri (Northeast of Kansas City).

The two hoses attached to each canister have blue cilps that are intended to be depressed while you pull each hose. You simply depress the clip and pull the hose. You then unscrew the four bolts, remove the lid, and dump the oil. Wash, rinse, repeat for each canister. I will say that it is not...

Off-roading at SMORR this weekend.

Congrats!!

Pitstop at Shelby American in Las Vegas before my wife and I head to the Bronco Raptor Off-rodeo.

Excellent write up. I used this and the Ford instructions to get me through the install. Great info about moving the ac line. The worst part for me was the air tube lower fitting. It was quite a PITA for me. I appreciate the info and pictures.

Thanks for the update. Just purchased one. I have been waiting for this to come back on their site. Note: it's still listed as the Ranger Raptor 3.0L Air/Oil kit, which is nice because there's a 20% off for "Trucks Only" that worked when purchasing online.

I have seen a couple versions. This looks to be the winner for me. I have a pretty packed garage and I like the way this folds up when not in use (Winter time).

The original Freedom Rock off of Interstate 80 in Iowa. There is one Freedom rock in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. Each rock is painted differently. Kind of a destination if you ever take a trip through Iowa. I took this in late September 2025. I’m retired Navy so of course I took a picture of the...

At SMORR this past summer.

Top of the tires..got it. Great reference point. Thanks for the feedback everyone. Going off-roading next week and it’s supposed to be rainy/muddy. Should be fun!

I previously owned a 21 Badlands with the 2.7l, which the Water/alternator was an issue. I now own a 2024 Braptor and have been wondering if this is an issue for the newer models? You mentioned you have a 22. I did go through some deeper water without issue the last time I off-roaded. Not...
