@rak2, in what world did a vehicle roof ever last 20+ years without continual maintenance. Why are you so hung up on the roof? Did your rag top Mazda Miata scar you? Did Ford's subcontractor mess up in the beginning, yup, big time. If you don't trust that style, get a different one. The...

WOW! I had to duck there is so much flying around here. @SierraBronco - thanks for the shout out. Glad @CalvinT stepped up while I was off galavanting. I am not telling anyone what to buy. I don't know what your setup is. It would be irresponsible to recommend something based on a minor bit of...

I like the look of a visor on a 60s Impala cruizer, or a 40s/50s pick up. That was style. The Oracle light bar is not that.

Love it when vendors make unsubstantiated claims to sell there stuff. But there are a lot of dull pencils in the consumer pencil cup. Hey - you can stand on and dance on the Goat Fab one too, just like they do in the AIG video (0:14s)! If that isn't keen marketing to convince you, what could...

Must suck to live in TX if you have to emission 2 years out on a new car. Thought that was the "leave me a'Lone Star state"? Come to CA where the weather is better, no hurricanes and floods, cheaper power, better food, cleaner air, a lot more mountains, and emission are 6 years out on a...

Nice work. I am assuming you built the slides, but may be not. You don't have to confess. Is the slide platform part made of wood or aluminum honeycomb? Couldn't tell with the smart carpet overlay decision and nice job on the end-trim.

Which circuit are you trying to kill? Starter? Alternator? Winch? Frig? Battery drain (ha ha ha)? Passenger's seat heater? How much do you want to spend? $$ or $$$ or $$$$? @VAtruck 's recommendation is cheap and simple for a physical air gap kill. $16. But I've circumvented one with a bolt...

Be aware that vehicle insurance coverage differs by state, and by carrier. Each state regulates the insurance carriers within that state. My situation (and driving record) is not yours, and vice versa. So only have generalities to offer you. Mileage is one discount type. Ask about...

Yes. Exactly like the ARB. I agree. I made my own. By the time you're done walking around, setting it all up, waiting the same amount of time to fill the lines, a single hose is just as effective and easier to keep clean. MOST IMPORTANT THING: Keep your hoses and valve stems clean when...

ARB Dual Compressor without the logo Just as good and as fast as the ARB in my Expedition for 60% less!!!. Been using this for about 2 years with no issues. Probably from the same factory that makes ARB. Same accessories come with it that come with the ARB model.

Meguiars Ultimate Black Restorer is an acrylic polymer with UV protectors, gloss enhancers, dye, and solvents. Its formulated to produce a thin acrylic film on top of plastic when it dries. It's like rice pudding, good until it separates out. The acrylic polymer can leave a haze over time that...

I stand corrected. Clarifying the difference between the tops was needed. The painted hard top is a fiberglass top under the paint. The molded-in-color (MIC) top is a polyoxymethylene (POM) plastic top, which can be painted. Several owners have shown their painted MIC tops on the forum...

Ford does not sell a UV or ceramic product. They sell a service that comes with warranty for interior and exterior protection. Putting a protection product on your MIC top depends whether it is painted or not. If you have a painted top, any of the paint protection products will work. Keep...

That is funny! Had to pay attention to the sarcasm to get that one. Most TPMS devices use a piezoelectric transducer (very, very, very small metallic membrane) to sense the pressure. That signal is sent via RF to a sensor (RFA module) that feeds it to the Body Control Module (BCM) that sends...

Start with a dip stick check. At least remove the oil level and degradation issues from your concerned list. The oil monitor software does not monitor physical properties of the oil directly. Here is what the software monitors, and then infers, via an algorithm, what is the state of your oil...

You can make a cheap stud extender from a coupling nut and bolt - instead of hacking away at the housing or trying to compromise the wire lug. You want as much surface area as possible making contact with the terminal stud. Using the coupler will increase the surface area. Thread the coupling...

In this economy you need to save your cash. The wrong thing to do is dump your liquidity into a pit - meaning your upside down Bronco. You knew you were upside down the day you drove it off the lot. Your plan was to ride out the pain and take the hit a month at a time. It is an easier hit...

hey Valid phenomenon statement, but the magnitude is overstated. 80%-98% of electron free-flow is at or nearly at the surface of any conductor. That free-flow is what we think of as "current" and measure with meters. Because DC is not a reversing magnetic wave field, it's magnetic...

You will be surprised how many medians and parking blocks are no longer an issue. :wink: All those S Florida beaches and everglades just calling out to you. I hope your family enjoys it for many years to come!

Google "subwoofer grilles". I saw at least 10 that would work for an 8 inch speaker. You will have to decide how you want to mount it and how much to trim the panel opening. Or check out the audio shops around you. Good chance they have some laying.
