I agree with one of the tsikoteers, as compared to the STRADA although I am not sure if it really has something to do with the type of DIESEL but I think it has something to do with it. I've been using the UNIOIL DIESEL for 4 months now and engine is running smoother as compared to when I was using SHELL V POWER DIESEL...

Im also using euro III/IV via seaoil. Noticeable talaga and vibrations were reduced specially upon startup and shutdown. Minimal smoke.

265mm is not the wheel size... that's the width of your tire (lapad ng gulong).

If you want fat tires, you have to get smaller wheels/mags. = 265/70R16

Sir nicenz, pwede naman yan if you like the looks of your ranger na macho talaga. Kasi nga mas macho talaga pick up Pag malapad tires.
Pro, at 285 Medyo labas na ng fenders mo ang tires and downside is Pag napa daan ka sa putik or tubig, lahat ng talsik nasa side (body) ng ranger mo which na madumi agad hehe. Not unless naka side fenders ka na :-)
My tire size is 275/55/20, no problem and contented with it :-)

"Pwede naman.." pero yung speedometer mo baka wala na sa tamang calibration, may lead to stock transmission and stock suspension damage too.

If the mags have tires mounted on it, check the number after the letter "R":

Examples:
285/50R20 = 20 inch mags
265/65R17 = 17 inch mags
245/40R18 = 18 inch mags
265/40R22 = 22 inch mags

Salamat po. Actually, 'yung "JJ" po talaga ang gusto naming malaman at kung ano ang epekto nung "offset".
Ang stock tires po ng 2012 Ranger ay 265 x 65 x 17R. Ano po ang specific dimensions ng mags na dapat bilhin
kung ang size po ng tires na ikakabit ay 265 x 50 x 20? Yun po sanang mags na tamang- tama lang para doon sa tires.
TIA

Taken from Technical Information: Wheels and Tires

Rim Contour / Bead Profile Designations:
Wheels will have a letter designation for their contour or the expected tire bead and rim shape.
Some possible contour designations are J, JJ, K, JK, B, P, and D
Common (and generally interchangeable) wheel contour designations are J, JJ, and JK.
J is the most common type for most automotive rims
JJ is common on 4x4 vehicles
Basically the rim contour and bead profile specify the shapes of the rim flange and the bead area.
You generally want to stick with something the same or close to what you have, assuming the same tires.
That is a given tire is made to mount on a certain type of wheel; diameter and contour code being most critical.
For more information, see: Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tyre Bible Page 2 of 4

Whoa! if you are referring to the heat pad then you must bring it to your dealer and have it installed with. Lahat ng vehicles standand po yun, protecting the paint (hood) from engine's extreme heat. To answer your question, yes meron po ang sa akin.

**TeeSix** · March 28th, 2013 02:28 PM

Question fellow rangers. May nagpakabit na ba sa inyong hardtop bed cover?. Pa share naman ng pics nyo please. Would you recommend customized one rather than Carryboy? Sa Strada club kc may nabasa ako dati na trusted shop owned by one of their members. TIA!

Maraming salamat po sir.. Naku wala yung sa amin, itawag ko na lang sa dealership.. Ang alam ko nga standard dapat sa lahat ng kotse yun eh, pero nung chineck ko yung mga ibang units na ranger na andun sa dealer, for release na ata yun, wala din na heat pad
