Did you move your rear exhaust pipe? My thinking was that it would be good to keep it where it runs under the rear diff so rocks would smack the exhaust pipe instead of the rear diff

Booyah I sure did.

I may put a lift on mine someday, I'll probably wait until at least the the warrantee is over. I really think I want to go with sliders and maybe also skid plates first though.

I wouldn't use the warranty to wait. Have fun with your truck. Use it they way you want

Yep thats pretty much where I am at. Same plans. It is also primarily my wifes DD though I do drive it every time we go anywhere together. My thought is the intake when the factory filter is full. 265 or 245s once the 235s start slipping on our driveway, Skid plates will likely come whenever I start to notice tears in the felts, or when I pull em to clean and coat the underbody, though I may decide to make em myself. If I feel like I am getting to bored of the power while I still have a warranty I will try the Panda tuner out, after that it would be whoever has the best. I probably wont do the exhaust until it starts to rust away. I might do a small spacer lift like this one when it comes time for tires. But nothing like the full Flatout setup until the shocks are failing. I do have some lighting planned, but they are going to be slim LEDs recessed in all directions on my custom topper crossbars once I finalize them. They are gonna get dedicated straps that stay in the channel and also trimmed and drilled out for aero.

I do run my tires at 30psi our road is so rough for about 6.5 mins of driving that anything higher is really too hard on the suspension joints. MPG is down about 20% from when I ran the tires at 50 on the mainland, but gas is cheap and will likely get cheaper with more EVs on the road. going to a 265/65r17 may allow me to run a lil higher psi because of increased volume allowing more flex offroad. That may offset a lil bit of the MT tread I am thinking about.

Really looking forward to hearing how well lifted Tremors do offroad and what tires everyone is able to fit. It will be great if we can fit a solid 31" tire on these with minor suspension mods. That is exactly what the first generation compact rangers could do. Me and a buddy put 31s on his 87 Ranger with a spring spacer up front and a shackle flip and extension in the rear. That truck did pretty good. Kept up with my CJs most of the time.

Hey, just thought I’d mention that with my completely stock TREMOR I rAN 235 75 17’s which are 31.8 inches and they only rub at full lock a tiny bit.

It's been pretty darn nefty, handy, useful and slick.
