I am not sure about defaulting to auto, but if you set the selector switch to Auto they will only come on when they need to. I leave it on Auto all the time.
Looks great, same as mine except mine is a four door and soft top. Swapped out the wheels right away too. My sons 2 door was "released by customer" at the rail yard yesterday. We hope he has it by Wednesday so we can get a Thanksgiving picture of both of them in the driveway. Enjoy!
Put mad flaps on after my first time off road. Luckily I only got one rock chip in one fender flare. It sounding like we were taking fire when we hit the pavement.
I am not sure about the gears but get the SAS if you can afford it. I went non-sas, put sas wheels and tires and a two inch zone lift right away. I am picking up the sas suspension (takeoffs) next week, and then I am going to get the manual stay bar disconnect after that. It will be sas except...
If you have the Lux package you need to install the switch in this spot. The subwoofer (I'm guessing) housing is in the way if you try to mount it below the 12 volt. I now have a hole in the panel and will need to drill another one in this spot.
I guess it could happen, but I never been asked if I had chains in the vehicle by CHP or Cal Trans (on 50 or 80) while diving a 4X4 with mud/snow tires. They just wave you thru. Sometimes they ask if you have 4 wheel drive. I got asked last year in my Bronco, but she realized what she was asking...
I believe it is on the train. My son got the same email last night saying delivery was updated to 11/30-12/6 from 11/10-11/16. The train left AZ 24 hours ago, so it is in California somewhere now. Should be in NorCal in a day or two.
Looks awesome, but my wife may not like that. We came up from the West (front side I guess) to about 9400 ft. That was my first time off road. Been a few more times around the basin this summer and I went to the off rodeo in Vegas in September. Ready for more!
We did Hawkins Peak early in the summer, beautiful view with the snow still on the higher mountains. We did not do the final climb though, have you done that in the defender?
Ask Ford chat if they have a rail car number. It may take several days or a week for them to see it in their system. Once you have that you can track the rail car with the CSX phone number.
Absolutely! It was the first thing I noticed this year. My steps weren't coated in snow/mud. Saves a lot of water on the garage floor once it melts too.
I got three rock chips on the same day, three weeks after I got my Bronco. One ended up being a foot long crack. The windshield recall came out right after that. I was able to get an appointment in Reno (an hour away) but it was two months out. I let them know that my windshield was cracked and...
