I’ve noticed 2 things regionally. Western New York 4wd culture rarely exists and I see mostly non squatch Big Bends and some OBXs. In the Tampa area, non squatch is a rare sight. There are mostly squatch and a lot of lifted/customized squatch/non squatch.
Reasons for doing a 5 tire rotation:
That spare is just sitting there rotting, you might as well get some use out of it by throwing it in the rotation. You'll get 20% more miles out of the set, as opposed to rotating only 4.
There's a good chance your next set of tires won't be the same tires...
So if I read this correctly, it seems like if the engine has enough cycles already then it is good, and if it doesn't have enough cycles then they will run the engine at high rpm until it passes a certain cycle or RUDs?
I have a 2.3 2 door, a 2.7 4 door, and a 3.0 raptor. The 2 door is still the most fun. Engine is the happiest. May all be because of the 2 door and wouldn't mind comparing to a 2.7 2 door for a while.
That sucks. The tint likely held a lot of it together, but it still makes a mess. Hopefully they vacuumed the inside of the door out. I had a broken door glass replaced one and the shop left all the glass inside door. It would make some noise when I closed the door and hit bumps. I took it...
I had my tires changed at the Ford dealer. They claimed they needed a special tool to take the old tires off. They ended up scratching the heck out the beauty rings anyway and paid to have them powder coated. I would either confirm with the shop that they will not damage the beauty rings or...
Going out on a limb here but maybe it's the shallow depth subs somehow mounted in or in front of the kick panel?
