There is "fixing" vinyl shrink, and then there is preventing. Persistent fit issues, even in warm weather, typically points to plasticizer loss, seam stress, or frame misalignment, rather than reversible contraction. Vinyl generally does not shrink, but elongates and becomes brittle. The...

Hate to ask a ... ... question. Whose tire cover did you buy? There are over 20 brands out there. Or did you ASSume we would recognize it from the pics you posted. How about a pic of the actual tire cover showing the center where the camera hole would be? Or is that too obvious?

Haha ... yeah, back to the rust line - sign of a real work truck back in the day.

They are, until you go somewhere and need them. :) Like the sand at the Outer Banks, any NC muddy back roads, Southport after the storms ....

I thought the link was going to be to that cool looking Ford emblem! :frown: But here is one: Ford American Flag emblem :) There are probably others.

Air, or insulation. Self-tapping? You want a wider thread. I would pre-drill and use a metal screw. Many self-tapping are fat, short threads (comparably speaking) to create the groove. You will only be getting 1 to 1.25 thread grip in that area. Not enough to guarantee long-term grip for the...

{Revised: Looked at wrong area.] Depends on the size of the holes, and how close together they are, and how much weight it is supporting. Presume you are planning on metal screws. The metal is not very thick at that location. The weight will be limited. I would add an adhesive (against metal...

What's wrong with the passenger car seat?

No. The Ford Easy Flow system on its fleet incorporates multiple baffles and an angled path specifically designed to prevent siphoning. Is this natural paranoia, or have you had an actual problem?

If only that was an apples to apples comparison. What a waste of time and money to make something look so extreme and messy looking. As if anyone would actually do that, except your marketing guy. Your "comparison" told me nothing! Except you have money to burn. Other YouTubers have been...

Door aligning is a tedious trial and error task to the beginner. Without the jig a lot of body shops use, balancing the weight of the door can become tricky. 1/2 degree of shift can result in 1 cm of gap (triangulation). If you are up to it, then go for it. You could try taking the doors off...

Basically, a long spring and a washer will make any hitch pin "rattle-less". Put the spring between the hitch and washer, on the side with the lynch pin, to hold the washer.

How about late June? Even nicer temperatures. That would be preferable to me If I was hanging out on asphalt all day. July and August tends to run hot during the day with late cool down in the evening. I melt in the heat.

... for exhaust fumes ... That is why the vent system pulls air in just below the windshield, away from the exhaust exits. Not the best location, but much better than above the mufflers. I have seen side window fans for what you are thinking. Maybe look at that route.

Solid paint jobs remind me of a Jeep. The two-tone is more visually catching.. But, we are talking a body color that IS visually catching by itself. I like it in the monotone more than the white or black. Gloss Black is okay. Avalanche White is acceptable, but seems more a distraction. Any...

There is what's required, and what you should do. Agree with most on here. I have had to put chains on my Expedition, but got waived on in the Badlands Sas for similar conditions at Big Bear. What CHP does sometimes seems more an issue of stopping the dopes and using best judgment. I usually...

Maybe in Ripon and central valley - not in most of CA. Yep, the gold standard of safety and intelligence there. Git er dun! Like I said ... the abyss.

1. Exceeding weight safety rating of the jack. Would be lifting up to 70% the vehicle weight since the opposite axle/wheels becomes the fulcrum point. 2. Vehicle teeters on the jack's saddle pad, an unsecured point on most jacks, making a highly unstable vehicle. Vehicle could lurch when you...

I like the low-profile, rapid pump style floor jacks. I DESPISE the steel wheel & bushing jacks; they eventually freeze up, and no one wants to drag 75-100 lbs around on the floor. I toss them and put on packed bearings, and new wheels if necessary. The HF 3T Off-Road is a nice jack, and the...

Say it ain't so ... That is more heritage than the Heritage.
