Back to the OP: wasn’t it difficult to get the cable/hanger assy in place with the wheel offset on the ground? That would be my leading reason to keep the offset towards the top.
Wanted to share my experience with FPR real quick. I’m a DIY guy so the service credits are no good to me. So I decided to get a swinging cargo box for the bed (a genuine Ford accessory). My dealer parts guy—who is really sharp mind you and isn’t just a parts pusher—had heard something about FPR...
I’ve gotten a Ranger from National, but guaranteeing a certain make and model is next to impossible.
If the LV airport allows you to pick your car (likely with National), you may just have to camp out until they bring one into rotation. There are usually only 8-10 cars available to choose from...
*I’m aware that this phenomenon is nothing new, I’m only here to discuss the percent increase.
I got my truck at the beginning of summer, as did a large percent of us I would suppose. Because of that I haven’t driven without A/C very much at all. It was quite cool here in MO today. On the way...
Drain and refill procedures are pretty clearly laid out in section 307-01 of the service manual. It even has a little baby dipstick accessible from underneath the truck.
I don’t really have an answer for you, but I was just adding some sound deadening to the front door tonight. The door handle assembly is different than anything I’ve seen before. Now that I know how to use it, it’s actually really convenient for removal. Mine snapped right back in like expected...
Keep it. Some guys have relocated it, like to inside the fuel filler door. I painted mine and it looks a lot better. It is a very underrated feature of Fords in general.
I finished up my under hood wiring tonight. Note the fuse and relay mounted to the compressor bracket. No, they're not super convenient for replacing but I don't expect it to be a big issue. The whole bracket assembly pulls out with two screws anyway.
Only thing I have left to do now is to run...
It's called the sun load sensor and it tells Autolamp when to turn on. Note that this is not the same as auto high beams. That sensor (camera) is above by the rearview mirror.
My boss drove around for two days with his headlights on and we finally asked him why. He had no idea. Turns out some...
Couplers mounted. The front location did not require drilling; there’s an empty hole on the passenger side of the lower grille opening. The rear location did require drilling. Both are easily accessible yet out of the way and not visually bothersome. And they would totally disappear if you shot...
I did have to provide proof of eligibility, it was a pay stub since I have X-plan through work. They didn't do the official paperwork until delivery, so I don't think your 60 day thing is going to be an issue.
I decided I needed air onboard. No lockers or airbags here, but I recover enough old equipment and work on enough stuff out in the field that I thought it would be worthwhile. I'm going for a permanent install.
I didn't spend too much time researching, as it's pretty clear that this ARB CKMA12...
