I came here to ask about your front tow shackles because I didn't see them in the build list anywhere.

RE:Spark plugs...

I had a 2013 Focus ST, I tuned it hot and did a bunch of mods at around 30K. At 60K I figure it was time to change plugs (people on the forums were complaining about misfires and showing bad, worn out plugs). This was around late 2014 or so, so the 2015's were out. The plugs I ordered were OEM (Sp534 plugs I believe). The ones that came out of my car were pristine, and could have gone another 60K easily. I ended up changing them out because I had them in hand...

At 90K I checked them again and they were ate to crap. The Gap was like 50 thousandths and the ground was severely pitted. Turns out the factory plugs on the 2013 were awesome, and there was a mid year "refresh" in 2014 where they just changed the quality of the materials making the plugs last less than half as long.

They all had the same part numbers too...

Do they seem like they could take "reasonable" side load? The mounts look a bit scrawny on the rough country site...

I know that the factory hooks are difficult to access, but they can take a mad beating if necessary.

They're very beefy...yes I do believe they'll take a S ton side load...

How did you mount your trigger to the battery? Thats where I'm thinking of installing mine but I want to make sure it sticks.

It just sits there...it's height is just tall enough to sit snugly between the battery and the hood liner so it kinda trapped there...never moved in the 60,000 miles?

Where did you get those center caps for the wheels? They look amazing. I’d put them on my Jeep or Ranger for sure.

Thanks Hector...I took the caps apart and painted them...

Saved up a long while for this but it's worth it...factory refurb weBoost Reach with OTR antenna to extend the cell range in the boonies...

Mounted it with Ram swivel so I can tuck it down to get in the garage...

 

[FoD]

Got an idea on the range improvement?

 

[Trigganometry]

I had one of these in my last truck. Technology has improved since then so might have to think about doing what you have. Last one I had got a 2 bar boost easily out of it. That one work with 5G?

I’ve been looking at these. We live in a low-lying rural area with a tin roof. That mean poor cell service in the house. I know it’s on your truck, but would be interested to know how it works out for you regarding the reception.

I need that at the cottage. No tin roof but whenever I can’t get a good signal my wife says to put on a tin foil hat. ?

Why do I picture you like this walking around the cottage looking for a signal? ?
