Perhaps it failed because it was a $38 relay made in China??. I have a battery isolation relay installed on my 50 Willys CJ (switch off, no DC anywhere). The first one burned up (another $38 relay?). The second one I bought from either Summit or Jegs. If I recall correctly it was well over...

I own an “in the water” sail boat. BLUE SEA SYSTEMS electrical equipment and parts are about the best you can buy. First class but somewhat pricy however.

I’m 72 Years old. It does not take 5 to 10 minutes to get the bash plate off if you have a battery impactor. It takes me about a minute…. 15 seconds to get down and under, 15 seconds to get two front bolts loose and two rear bolts out, and 30 seconds to get my body back into the standing...

My private mechanic said, “Use fully synthetic oil”.

A good question. I’d be sure Ford has done an economic analysis on this or is proceeding based on past experience. A short block replacement at a dealership is probably 10X in dealer labor cost as opposed to the dealer labor to replace an engine. Also, there’s would be increased risk of...

Doesn’t work when there is no cell phone coverage, does it?

Yes, bring in a lawyer @$200/hour….

Seems like one of the B6G vendors would jump on producing Heated Rubber Floor Mats…. Here’s one for you….savage late February conditions here in Houston…. Hopped in the Bronco yesterday after remote starting it. The air conditioning was on (I had it set to 69 the previous day) and so were the...

Thanks for pointing that out. Looks like the tire pressure screen has been modified too. Used Rock Crawl mode out in Big Bend Ranch State Park (Texas) a couple of weeks ago and noticed some new screens in that mode and Baja Mode also. Rock Crawl: Obviously the photos were taken on my...

I very recently had a “non-drivable” update. It appeared on the screen when I started the car before departing from a local store. It gave me the choice of updating now or scheduling. It very clearly indicated the car would be undrivable for, in this case, 10 minutes. I believe it mandated...

Oh yeah…Duhhh!! I have a copy downloaded on my iPad and so far that’s been with me while off-roading. I need to remember that.

Can’t help with your main issue. However, the owners manual shows how to get the automatic transmission into neutral when the vehicle is “dead”.

I believe the hood, front fenders, doors and tailgate are aluminum. The rear quarter panels appear to be steel. You can check with a magnet.

Well said! Thank you!

Yes, but how many will survive unmodified?

The Ford “kit” comes with a drill stop. It’s hysterical that a dealer tech drilled all the way through the tailgate. What a dolt…. Obviously no supervision… No wonder folks have issues with dealer oil changes

Corrosive bugs?

I guarantee you that there are a few First Editions, undriven, plastic covers still on the seats, up on jack stands and in climate controlled storage, waiting on the BJ Auction in 2071. I was never sure why people bought First Editions with the purpose of driving them. An undriven or even all...

Actually, I think it’s the “ethanol free” that is giving you the extra MPG.

Leather, no. But I would kill to get one in the MGV with the orange stitching to match the Badlands interior.
