Not at all gonna deny if they put out a bare bones base model with nearly no electronics, manual windows, vinyl seats and rubber mat floors, xfer case shift handle on the hump and a manual tranny, AND they priced it reasonably to its trim level, I’d order two. Right now today.
Ya, her maintenance of my ride is to drive it with top off and enjoy all the stares. The MIC top off that is. :wink:
And while I agree there needs to be corrective action taken, I do enjoy staying married. Most days at least. :cwl:
Ya, my guess is the latter, which I’ll bring up to her …but worded simply as a suggestion of course. Haha
Good call to check the door side before reinserting though. The tabs on the cover appeared just fine but I’m not sure why it would do that now. Took delivery about a year and a half back...
Thanks man. So, from the diagram, am I seeing that as being behind the handle?
Edit: Answered my own question with logic. Haha. I need to not do this at all hours of the morning
Ya, sorry about that. Will get a better look at it tmrw and report back. The wife just got home and says she believes it came off the drivers door handle? 🤷
Wife borrowed the Bronco and casually left this for me to find while vacuuming tonight. I didn’t look real hard but anyone know what it is and where from?
This I agree wholeheartedly with. If done right and cooling, intake, exhaust is all modified in balance also, I believe there’s likely lots more horses to be accessed without risking pulling years off a drivetrain. Just be sure not to forget the tranny and ensure it’s designed (or modified) to...
Good question and the best example I have is how mine pulls my horse trailer. The trailer matches the tow rating and honestly it does really well pulling. But I live at higher altitude (7500’) and inside a mountain range so there’s decent steep grade climbs in all directions with avg summer...
Yeah, not meaning to offend anyone and I’m not saying it can’t be done. I’m just wondering how the powertrain can hold up to huge HP gains over the long term. Motors like the Triton V10, the 460 TBI, and GMs 454 TBI were held back sooo hard out the gate that their HP and torque figures were...
This sucks to hear about and as one that also went thru the frustration of the early order process and its headaches, plus all the time and money it looks like you spent on mods to personalize it, I get your pain.
Not to get too deep in the weeds, but any idea what set the guy off?
IMO the days of automakers initially kicking out really tamed/tuned down gas powertrains in production models are likely gone due to segment competition. The 3.0 has plenty of power but to me feels like it’s close to giving everything it’s got without risking its own longevity. Can’t imagine...
I’m guessing it’ll be a tame bump b/c they’re not also increasing intake and exhaust flow so egt might be a hurdle to keep under warranty. But only a guess.
I will say the BRaptor interior is nice and I like it a lot. $90,k nice? Maybe, maybe not considering the plush interior of similarly priced F150 Limited. That’s said, mechanically the fun has made it worth it so far. Personally I like a little more heft weight to my truck doors when closing...
I know that area well and there likely will be some interesting trails. But make note, that’s up in N. Utah tho and while still scenic, the geography is much different than S. Utah. Weather should be nice that time of year and not hot hot. How much is the registration?
Can be done. Would recommend caution tho as my rope horse plus tack and aluminum trailer puts me closer to max rating than I like. And remember, the Raptor package has beefier towing than non.
Yeah, that sucks. I think they should modify their videos of the overall experience to show what its like today if they’re changing things indefinitely to manage expectations better, considering folks choose that location particularly due to its proximity to a Vegas vacation and its ease of...
When I went in March they’d just closed the long jump the week before b/c a big storm flooded the course and washed it out. We also found out, on their off days the instructors work on basic repair (squeaks, tires, suspension, wash downs, etc.) as well as do the course maintenance, berm and rut...
I went back in March this year. Did much what you describe while taking the wife and had a great trip. It actually snowed about 6” the night prior thus made everything more slippery and fun with the crawling section that much more technical. Even the out and back to the course was a total blast...
I think I’ll throw down just in case, but might get there first and decide, if allowed. Im a sound, logical driver but truth is, I (we all) paid a bunch of money for a truck and I see this as a chance to learn it’s/my limitations before learning the hard way on my own. I’ve read other posts who...
