Kudos to you taking such great care of your cars. That Explorer looks brand new.
I don't know if they use as much salt on the west side, but they lay it everywhere here; in our neighborhood, on the surface streets, and the highway from my house all the way to my work downtown Detroit. The only...
First time ever having a car rust-proofed. I'm happy with the service they provided and pray it preserves the vehicle for 10 or 20 years and beyond. I'll be honest, I still wonder if I could've saved myself a bunch of money and just bought a dozen cans of Fluid Film and done an adequate job...
Ziebart in Dearborn. They had a special package deal: rust proofing/sound deadening, Diamond Gloss paint protect (which included clay bar), interior protectant (which we didn't need because we have the vinyl seats), and something for the glass (like RainX on steroids).
Package price was $1000...
We received our Redline struts today. They come securely packaged in a tube (end caps stapled to the tube) with the struts, hardware, directions, and a sticker.
Easy to install. It took less than 10 minutes to install both sides.
They are stout and easily handle the weight of the hood...
I am a believer in Fluid Film, but you might be interested in this video. This guys tests all kinds of things, including "Best Car Undercoating Products".
I had my wife's professionally done as well. We bought the Bronco and I keep cars until the repairs cost more than the value of the car. The one thing they didn't do on ours is inside the frame rails. I bought a few cans of Fluid Film and sprayed down all the bare metal they didn't coat...
In my opinion, what you should do is drive your truck. I sense you're experiencing paralysis by analysis. Our 2.7 was built on day 340 - a Monday lol I'm not worried in the least, and I don't think you should be either. 1) It's entirely out of your control and 2) the odds are small that your...
I contacted Village Ford in Dearborn (where we took delivery) and was connected with Kim in the accessories department. She's been with the dealership for 25 years and she's very interested in finding the answer to this question. She said she'd call me back after doing some digging. Hopefully...
I asked this same question in the Michigan Bronco Club forum. The solution offered was an after market steering wheel cover purchased on Amazon. I have yet to pursue it any further because that's not the solution I want. It seems to me it's a simple software upgrade. It's not like there's a...
I bought the 7 year/125,000 Premium Care from Floods. It was over $1000 cheaper than my dealer. Don't let anyone tell you it's not a legit Ford Protect ESP. It is. It even shows up in our Ford Pass app.
I like these. Wife's birthday is in May. I think I'll get her a set of the light bar and fog lamps. Of all the ones I've looked at, these appeal to me the most.
My Badlands didn't come with a sound deadening/fire retardant pad under the hood. I just assumed that was standard. I assumed wrong. It's an option, and I can only surmise that it's part of the sound deadening package.
I just ordered the RedLine. I looked at the Rough Country's which were $30 cheaper but that required removing the fender bolts. For $30, I'll save myself the hassle AND support a Michigan company. Go Blue!
I'm familiar with steel but not stainless. Does powder coating scratch easier on carbon steel than stainless? And isn't the stock front bumper powder coated carbon steel?
I'm not trying to start a debate. Genuinely trying to learn so when I make a purchase, I make an informed purchase.
