On my XLT there is a rocker button on the frond of the column shifter. It is used to limit the highest gear. Great for going down hills without burning up the brakes. It also makes the gear numbers show in the cluster. You do not shift out of 'D'.

Let's hope yours is something simple, if it can't simply be ice or something.
Well that's a good thing, going away, that is! Looks like it's gonna be pretty cold here the next few days, so a better inspection may have to wait. I'm hoping it's just ice, but my quick looksee I did last night, I didn't see any. Oh well, glad I've got the Ranger, and it doesn't look like any big snow, so I'm still good to go.

Installed a front level lift with KMC XD811 RS2 wheels size 20x9 -12mm with Toyo Open Country R/T ties size 33x12.5R20.

I love the look, hate the combination. Tires have already been rebalanced twice in less than 12 hours, wont stop vibrating, makes an annoying oscillating hum going down the hiway, and cant turn my wheel halfway while backing out of my driveway without rubbing. Needless to say, getting rid of these tires, didnt want Toyo in the first place but let a salesman talk me into with "how much better they are now" blah blah they are just as terrible as thier sister brand Nitto is.

Going back to BFG A/T. Have had five sets on five different vehicles in the past and never had any issues. Should have put my foot down with the shop here and told them put the tires I want on my truck, or walked out. Now I have to go back.

Looks good! You're the first person I've seen review Toyo as a bad tire. That said, you're not the first to buy KMCs and complain about them not being balanced....

How exactly are you going to mount them? Also are they water-resistant like that since you took them out of their cases?

Got all my warning lights mounted in the truck. They were pretty easy to wire in thankfully.

They are completely sealed, the cases they came in aren't really cases, just a metal brace for mounting them with screws. The LED's are 100% sealed tight. Not sure if you can tell from the picture, its as if somebody hot glued the entire backside of it shut, but not hot glue.. plastic. Not sure if that makes sense lol here's the pic



I was thinking hard about how I was going to mount them, I think I'm just going to 3M them to the underside of the top bezel of my grille. If I don't like it, I'll try something else
