After making the switchover from the hard top to the soft recently, I decided to give these a try. I like them! I like the way they look, but I also really like the protection they offer now for the paint when switching tops. The HT isn't a big deal because it's all plastic under it, just...

I think it looks like it’s meant for my kids MineCraft video game, or lunar exploration. Not my speed on this one. They can imitate all they want, improve on this, improve on that, etc… End of the day, Wranglers and Broncos have one thing they can’t replicate at any price - heritage. For us...

Activated summer-time mode today! Hard top stored until it's time to stuff my fat ass with turkey and gravy and watch Alabama beat Auburn! Also bit the $100 bullet on the IAG rear cargo tub liner covers too. Putting the ST on and not wanting to tear up the paint along the top edge of the trunk...

Same, except mine was shit! Literally. Shit. :-) Our water treatment plant offers free lawn fertilizer bags every Friday morning at 6:30. No surprise to anyone, that we here in the DC region are full of the most shit than anywhere else, so that fertilizer is some good stuff! It's basically the...

Not an Apples to Apples comparison, but attached is an oil analysis I just had done on my wife's 2020 Mercedes GLS 450 at 93k miles. Wanted to check the engine out before writing checks on brakes, tires, fluids as part of the 100k reset I prefer to do every 50k miles (all fluids, all filters...

I don't think it's paranoid, but it's not something that you want someone to just wrench on until they think it's tight enough. You want someone who knows what the torque setting are supposed to be as second nature (or have immediate and easy access to that info on the spot). Doesn't have to be...

You’ve got to drop the plastic pan on these things, and the transmission housing is aluminum, meaning very easy to strip the mounting threads if not done correctly. Because of that, I would only trust the Ford dealer to do it as insurance in case anything goes wrong. Someone not paying attention...

I don’t think so, I think I read somewhere on here of some type of super secret Ford blue lubricant sleeve or something like that on it instead.

Anyone who has ever owned a 4Runner will know when the driveshaft is in need of a little "zerk" action. Our 2005 (V8, what a sweet car that was) would absolutely thump when coming to a stop. Sometimes it would feel like someone tapped the bumper behind you. A few squeezes of the grease gun into...

That is a great picture!

I never understood that car. Did they buy the plans/specs for a Mitsubishi Diamanté?

Other than the top and that stupid gear knob thingy, it's nothing that any of us couldn't already do (mostly) via the aftermarket. Is there some sort of communist overlord contract agreement between Ford and Goodyear for those tires and rims? I mean, why put on the Sas rims for the Lincoln...

Give the paint guys their Zoloff so we can have some COLORS!! Is there some sort of problem with getting paint colors these days now? I don’t care what fancy phrase they use, it looks like primer grey to me, and not going to be in my garage. Dark blue, forest green metallic, cardinal red...

Came to a rolling stop this afternoon, engine/transmission all warmed up, heard a loud clunk as it went into 1st (10-speed) and what sounded like gear slap. I've heard this before, but usually when it's cold. Growing a little tired of it. May take it in to the dealership, although I'm sure my...

Do tell where you got those sweet lights for $100!!!! I like them and have the same bumper set up as you!

Pontiac Aztec met a crystal meth dealer... Heck of a grocery store though! Been there several times (folks live in Naples).

I'm really curious about it myself too. More research needed though before pulling the trigger and essentially killing off the Ford warranty for it. But I put little faith in warranties in general anymore. I've seen the comments on the Ford Procal upgrade for more HP and noted the comments on...

Curious if anyone has any experience with one of these kits? Saw on a mechanic's feed I follow and he raved about them for the 10 speeds between Ford and GM. project-carbon®-ford-10-speed-diy-valve-body-upgrade-kit

I might get flamed for this one, but it worked for me on a now 12-year old VW that had a horrible creaking / crunching noise in the front suspension. Learned about it from the Scotty Kilmar Youtube videos. This stuff, in a spray bottle and spray down all the bushings and mounts once a year. I...
