Just hit 33K miles over the weekend. The wife wanted to drive it while we were in the Keys and she was at the helm when it rolled. She's due for a new car and now is considering a Bronco.
I have to install the lower grille protection cover in the front and repair the lower bumper area...
Mine came with a bedliner in it when I bought it used, but my upgrades (order of value, IMO):
Tonneau cover
Drivers side bed mounted swingbox (since I lost storage space from my old Ram)
Husky floor liners
Window deflector/rain guard
Step bumpers (aesthetically awesome, good for my handicapped...
I have one on my driver's side. Had to trim back the bedliner to get the mounts to seat correctly. I didn't want to cut the liner, but I took my time, double measured everything then was able to use some fender flare style washers to secure the liner in position behind the bracket. When it's...
I have an XLT but the standard chrome finish rims. Thanks to this forum I grew envious quite rapidly when I saw the smoke/darkened rims like yours. I've done enough customizing to my truck, but not this...... that these would be my next wish. Maybe when I get new tires in 5K miles.....
About 3 months ago, someone backed into me at a local home improvement store. I remember the barely road worthy looking truck and the beat up red flatbed trailer they were towing, because flecks of red paint scraped into the lower part of the front end near the parking sensors. There is some...
I installed the same tailpiece extension. Be forewarned, it fades quickly. I repainted it once using a matte black heat paint (for grilles). Looks better, but I expect it to fade again over time.
I've noticed downshift issues even when it's warm. I check the trans fluid levels, fluid is clean. It's been in 2x to the dealer for PM services (free oil changes for 3 years from where I bought it, every 5K with a tire rotation). They claim there's no issues. I'm creeping up to the 36K...
My wife's a Cub fan; I root for the White Sox. When we saw the truck at the dealer she was quick to point out " oh look!! Cubbie Blue!" I told her no way, wasn't gonna happen. When we got done with the test drive, Dust In The Wind from Kansas was on the overhead/office speakers. I went to...
Tailgate damper from DeeZee arrived yesterday. Busted my knuckle when my socket wrench slipped out of my hand due to sweat dripping off my forehead (heat index of 103 - not smart on my part) but install was simple and works like a charm.
Funny part - I left the NBA playoff game on (OKC and...
Installed the SwingCase storage box on the driver's side. I have a Pendaliner for the bed so there was some cutting involved. Have to say, as nice as the liner is to have, the access holes for the tie downs do leave a lot to be desired. I don't have huge hands but the holes/covers are a...
219 days. 8,400 miles. Spent the weekend installing the Swingcase toolbox and the pneumatic tailgate damper. Dodged heavy rains but vacuumed the inside completely and washed both Husky floor mats. Noticed a few small scratches but I bought it with 16K on it so it's less upsetting than if I...
Thanks!! Now if I could only get my FordPass to work again. Won't connect to my truck via my phone, even though BT is working. That FP app drives me crazy sometimes.
Ok, I have two questions and the answer to the first will impact the second:
Can Sync 3.4 be installed for those of us who have the 4.2" screen? If yes, then.....
I am either FORSCAN illiterate or am more anxious of F'ing it up, but is this as "easy" as it looks from those of you who have...
I'm 6'1 and have the XLT model. I too always worry about leg space; when I took mine for a test drive, I got in the back seat first and let Mrs. drive. Then I drove back, she rode shotgun and salesdude got in back. I've made adjustments to the seat for location and angle, but it's not...
Installed the Curt 13417 tow hitch. Some penetrating fluid, breaker bar, electric impact drill......and installed. Did have to lower the spare to access it but when it went back up, it didn't press up against the new hitch frame. Hmm.
Reinstalled the old Weathertech BumperStep. ....and it's...
Curt trailer hitch arrived today. Will be installing this weekend and will share info/post photos.
Already have the Weathertech Bumpstep from my old truck, so that will be installed as soon as bolts are torqued down.
Considering the swing out bed mounted tool box and the door sill...
