After re-evaluating, I agree with the bolded statement made. Since the shackle broke on the looped portion going around the knot, it likely wasn't the root cause in this case. However, I still believe it was a mistake attaching it directly to the clevis, in general. I'm not saying you should...

Correct, I personally don't think by attaching the soft shackle to an appropriate recovery point would've changed the outcome much if the other two problems were still present. That soft shackle or the rope would likely still break under those forces, but we'll never know for certain. However...

As suspected, some are taking the wrong message from this video. In this particular case, the quality of the gear used should not be the main focus, it's how the situation was handled. From what I saw, there were three primary failures: Attachment of a soft shackle to a non-rounded recovery...

Ordered Feb 2022, converted to 2023. Ford offered us the $2,500 credit if we bailed on the hard top but we rejected it. Ended up getting scheduled 2 months later anyways. Ford doesn’t owe anyone who took the offer anything. You already got the $2,500 credit.

Yeah, a free torx bit.

Remind us again how long you've been waiting?

Gives drivers a lead foot with less effort.

Don't worry, ADV's will be much better quality.

I was more commenting on the well-established companies that take care of their customers part.

I'm pretty sure all the pre-run wires are wrapped up in wiring harness. I don't think you can just pull through a single wire.

This you? Seems a little contradictory.

What are you talking about? Are you saying I can connect a bunch of 3ft 16 AWG wires together and not have any issues? No, if you connect two 3ft 16 AWG wires together, that’s the same (or more likely worse) than a single 6ft 16 AWG wire. You don’t get to magically maintain the ampacity of a...

That's the thing though, the Ford engineers didn't design a complete wiring system for aftermarket accessories. We get some wires not hooked to anything that lets us, as the consumer, decide what we want to do with them. The switch wires are rated correctly, but if you try to run 30 amps all the...

He's testing these with a tow strap. A kinetic rope will have a lot more inertia than a strap like that and probably wouldn't make much of a difference.

All dual top orders had the hard top installed with the soft top shipped in the cargo area.

Watched your video this morning. The main takeaway I'd stress is, when you find yourself in these situations, you need to slow down. Taking the time to assess the circumstances that are preventing the vehicle from moving is critical. My belief is you should always be doing everything to get out...

Any 40" light bar should work with the cutout wind deflector, I'd imagine the same can be said for linkable kits with similar dimensions. For reference, I have the Baja Designs light bar installed and it fits within the cutout when mounted to the cross bar behind the deflector. The width of the...

Just to clarify, the distance between those mount points on the horizontal sides of the rails is 46" (I just measured this on my TRMR rack). The cross bars' length are 47.5".

Except OP installed a Heretic 40" light bar, which according to their specs, pulls 25.4 amps.
