Hiccup, or recurring or impending failure....you'll only know if the light comes back on and stays on. by then you might see the performance issues tied to it

Its like my local police departments twitter feed. at 9pm they usually tweet out it's 9pm, lock it or lose it.

There's nothing wrong with going to an independent mechanic that wants your business. If your Ford dealers aren't meeting your expectations, then walk away. The tire sitting flat could very well have damaged the carcass of the tire. that's a lot of weight on the edge of the rim/rubber. I also...

they look hokey. The only time I had one of those units was on one of my past F150's. If it had straps, I never used them. Are they just required so the extender doesn't bounce up and down? Does it ever bounce? I never noticed my F150 move ever.

Its really easy with the right equipment, and cheap too Lets just hope the nefarious individuals who build these devices have trouble procurring chips. https://www.wired.com/2017/04/just-pair-11-radio-gadgets-can-steal-car/

its not new, my older focus had it. the handle turning red is for safety when the door is open.

I agree, it's your ride....you have to enjoy it, even if you put on the blinders and convince yourself its better.

Personal experience: I have never seen a car with deer whistles at the side of the road with deer induced damage Also Personal experience: I have never used deer whistles, nor have I ever hit a deer in my life.

Food for thought when dealing with insurance.....you didn't hit the deer. The deer hit you. Makes a difference to some insurance policies.

If I need any brick work done, I apparently have a starting point on a high quality Mason/bricklayer.

Eruption Green, Everglades model??? tempting??

I was going to mention maintenance, but thought it wasn't a big enough concern. After all, every home mechanic on here is amazing by their own accord so it shouldn't be failing because they failed to grease a fitting.

Of course it could. But what caused singles to blow a u joint most of the time? exceeding the speed limitation is my guess. In our Rangers case though....maybe a wonky center bearing rubber will eventually be the cause of driveshafts failing. I don't have a vibration issue on mine, but if...

That's one of many scenarios that can be covered by my blanket statement. Vaulting though, is even more rare because that takes a lot of other planets to align. So its a no brainer that you wont see or find a lot of examples of that out there. But it has happened, and would still be considered a...

whats the purpose of the shim idea on the 3D printer? allow the original rubber built to move, but limit its overall movement?

Yes, he didnt buy it for a pavement princess. He bought it to explore further down the trails than he has ever gone. I fully expect it to look like a wreck after a year and he doesn't care, he's happy. Other than some added protection film, he barely even washes it because the next weekend...

No idea on your question, but have my own questions: how many miles on your brakes, what kind of driving style do you do and how badly worn are they? I have 60000kms on my 2019 and last time i had it serviced they marveled at how little wear my brakes had.

I have heard that putting spray foam inside the tailgate also helps with the HPFP noise.

Sucks all around. But on the bright side, a friend who has a brand new Bronco, who off-roads it every weekend has more damage than that from self inflicted obstacles/connections. He's had it for 6 weeks.
