Back in August of 2021 I was one of the first to mount 285-75-R16 tires on Base steel wheels. See full post linked here. At the time a lot of people noted that these tires might not wear properly because they are designed to fit on a rim width of 7.5 to 9 inches, and the Base steelies are only 7...
I assume you mean rubbing on the inside sidewall of the tire. If so, and the rubbing is slight and only on one side, a little more pressure in the tire might be enough to reduce the amount of bulge in the sidewall and the rubbing goes away.
You are not an idiot, all five tires come with TPMS on all trims all model years, and it should retrain automatically when you rotate them.
It is possible that you got a bad TPMS on the spare. In fact it makes sense that if that were to happen it would be in the spare location, any other...
My first thought like you mentioned was the tune, if they messed with that and you are used to driving it tuned you would definitely notice it.
Second thought was maybe a tech left a rag in or near the intake? Not likely but it would not be the first time it has happened to somebody.
What...
They pretty much always have a discount code on their website for 15-20% so make sure you use that with your order! Also I will note they they are a small shop, but just recently bought a second CNC milling machine and are also about to double their shop square footage by expanding in to the...
No problem I am happy to answer these...
Mods: I used some felt tape to cover some exposed areas to cut down on some rattling noise where wood was bouncing on wood. It helped a lot. The only future mod I am thinking of right now is an upgrade on the hinges that it comes with, and the fasteners...
Maybe I am missing something, but I have a 2021 Base and I purchased the OEM signature headlights from another forum member (here is a link) and they were completely plug and play, no modifications or FORScan changes needed.
I do know that they have recently hired an actual person to run their technical support function in the Houston office full time so that should get a lot better going forward.
The inside dimensions of the drawer for the model with the seats removed is:
31 1/2 inches wide
29 1/4 inches deep
5...
I can speak to the @wheelsfeels.com system, that is actually my Bronco in the picture you linked.
Not sure what you mean by too small since they are all essentially the same size in that they cover the entirety of the space from the tailgate to the front seats. Maybe you mean that you are...
Holding up great! Better than I envisioned it would, about 4.5 years later. I had two spots recently where I had small chips, likely due to kicked up rocks. But I just sprayed some paint on to a Q-tip, and dabbed them a bit to cover up, and you can barely tell in those two areas. Also, I just...
Looks good! The ridges along the top are soooo hard to get right, and that is the place where you will most likely start to see bubbles over time, but good news nobody can see up there anyway.
The matte looks awesome. I wrapped mine and it lasted about a year and a half before I started getting bubbles. But I did not use primer and it was my first time wrapping anything, so with your expertise it should last much longer than that.
I learned this weekend that even my 2021 Base with 7MT has built-in trailer sway control as part of the standard 'Advancetrac with RSC' system. My Bronco does not have a Ford trailer hitch from the factory, nor have I ever installed any Ford trailer module or Ford towing package, nor made any...
The design has just been finalized! Here is how it looks installed in my Bronoco:
They will also sell an extension to this design that adds an extra foot and a half with the front seats all the way forward, and can be used as a sleeping platform (for shorter people and probably on an angle)...
Follow up: I think what happened is when I was changing the fluid in my MT, when it was full and coming out the fill hole, some dripped down on to and in to a frame piece via one of the holes on top, and then the fluid worked its way back and was coming out from one of the holes on the bottom...
Thanks guys...I just checked again and I do not smell any gas, so it must be coming from somewhere else and collecting here. I will keep an eye on it and report back
