....further add to the "leaks" argument.... Sunroofs. You ask most mechanics the one option that drives them nuts the most, and sunroofs will be close to the top of that list, for the sole reason of hunting down a "leak", and at some point they all do. Either clogged drain line(s), or degraded...
In my opinion, when you willingly buy a vehicle with a removable top, "leaks" are a risk you take. Has been that way since the dawn of automotive time. Ford's lawyers will easily defeat that argument with plenty of other examples from other manufacturers over the past several decades.
But...
Had an 05' with the V8. Life in Raleigh, except for 3 years in Chicago (2/09 - 11/11). By the time we left for DC, the rims were bubbling. Nothing can withstand that road salt! Might as well park in the surf at the beach.
Ah ok that makes sense. When I looked at the photo, I thought one pad was the inside and one was the outside on each rotor. Thought you were showing both rotor usage.
I know you're pointing to missing springs, but when I see such uneven pad usage on the same wheel, it makes me think you've got stuck guide pins too and one side is dragging. I presume you'll pull the pins, clean that out and relube? Given the off-road usage history, it wouldn't be a terrible...
This is my first Ford, and only my second American brand car. I've had 20 vehicles in my life. Honestly, nobody makes them like they used to anymore, even from just 5 years ago. When I realized this about 18 months ago when starting my car shopping routine, I decided to give the Americans...
I have the 4 light IAGās that are both white and amber with the ability to change via two switches on the aux switches. Theyāve been good, and will definitely throw some light wore/high/far. The reality is though, you can really only use any of these lights when your path is free from traffic...
Yep, I agree! I think it does pop through that piece, I stand corrected!
This link also agrees with you too. You can actually see the airbag assembly on the back side of that piece.
Very good point!! I would be cautious of wrapping this part. Not only for safety reasons, but legal reasons...
Sorry, I tend to just lump it all as DC. Youāre right, Iām about 35 miles NW of downtown DC on the edge of the suburb sprawl. But I do go into DC for meeting quite often. Side note, itās why I still have the antenna on my Bronco, as it acts as my height checker for some of those underground...
Iām pretty sure (but not positive) the airbag actually comes out from the underside lip of the top piece of the dash, and not through the plastic face piece of dash. I think the risk of it shattering the plastic into tiny sharp pieces would be counterproductive to the airbag itself and to the...
I suspect that dash is actually a wrap. Iām willing to bet it was all disassembled, individually wrapped, and put back together. The dash part looks very nice and would love see more options like that myself!
That really sucks!! KC is getting some bad press lately too. I used to live out in O/Park a long time ago. Brother is still there.
Those are some stupid criminals to break five windows to gain access to the inside of a car. Iām no criminal (despite living in DC), but seems that if I were...
They go very well with the āroastā interior, and silver cover rings. Itās one of my favorite tweaks I made to mine, and have received many compliments for it. It warms up the cabin feel, and gives it a little retro throwback vibe at the same time. The only piece I didnāt use was for the window /...
Starting to wonder if a troll post by a corporate ājeepsterā for Google search reasons. Kindāve like that one 1-star reviewer on an Amazon item with 5,000 5-star reviewsā¦
Once it is determined that the dealership is full of crap, you should share the name here so others wonāt make the same mistake. Unless if you cooked the engine and itās locked up, which I highly doubt, the chances of you needing a new one are about as slim as winning the lottery.
Hole in radiator. Yup. Since the beginning of time when the first car was ever produced, a bad radiator has always meant new engine.
Hope you donāt get a flat tire. Theyāll tell you itās totalled and need a new Broncoā¦preferably the 2023 Raptor currently sitting in the showroom for $125,000ā¦
Tell me about itā¦.
Mr. Tire forgot Mr. Lug Nut⦠2017.
Needless to say, he was fired on the spot. Quality test drive check after a rotation/balance didnāt go so well for oleā Cliff.
I'm sure this topic is up there with discussing Mobile 1 and Castrol.....
But I will say this, my own personal opinion from my own very limited experience in real world setting of the car being my primary vehicle and why I picked the Bronco (easily) over the Wrangler when I went shopping...
