This really has been beat to death about legal liability. If your willing to take the risk thats your call.
I will leave this out there though. If you have any question about insurance just ask your provider. I can tell you from discussions with Geico, removal or modification of any device...
Interesting topic. You can read how Ford removed the crash bars and how IHS doesn’t consider models that are considered performance trim to count against their five star ratings. Or how IHS scolded Ford for removing them in super cab models resulting in Ford later including them.
Interesting...
My first guess would be that somewhere along the exhaust it is rubbing on something. Under load/acceleration the exhaust may be moving enough to rub against something. Then the exhaust is acting like an amplifier through the tubing. Only possible thing I can think of.
Since it doesn't happen during high revs, but under acceleration/load a dyno shop may be able to help diagnose the location. It sounds like a tuning fork where metal is vibrating to metal. Doesn't seem to be a "screech" that you would expect if metal was rubbing like brake discs. Since it...
Installed the grill lights this morning. Which I'm officially calling Traptor Grill Lights. I used (4) of these. Made a custom wiring harness to tap into the passenger lower marker light. Printed custom mounts from polycarbonate to get the right offset inside the grill and mounted center in...
Got the ditch lights wired up today. Went with DD bracket and Rigid Radiance Amber pods. Amber backlight is wired to uplifter (5) and the main lights to uplifter (4).
Pre-wired all the uplifters with waterproof disconnects.
Wired in a junction box for grounds with a 10awg 200c wire...
Awesome job on the build.
The flares on the truck really help draw the eye away from the gap in the lift so nicely.
Love the running board lights. So want to do this on the Tremor. There is an internal channel and exit holes in the rear to make it possible. But there is no going back...
Just installed these on a 2021 Tremor. Modification is required to the front holes on the skid plate. I had to drill a new hole on the passenger side since the hole location was off by about 3/8 inward and 1/2" towards the rear. Both hole locations are probably off but I chose to bias...
Basically exactly how I did the job today.
Removed Skid Plate. Needed to do this anyways to install the RC Buckle Conversion (which for Tremors you will need to modify the holes on the front of the skid plate).
Removed 8mm screw holding air dam to bracket.
Removed 10mm screw closest to center...
Little lady on the trail on the property in Idaho munching on some fresh cut JuneBerry.
Foggy morning down there. Upgrading to yellow Diode Dynamic fogs is a must.
303 is a great product. Mike Phillips did a great write up over at Auto Geek. I use it on the rims and trim. I just can't get past the rubbery feel it leaves on the paint. Just not as smooth as other products. When I say rubbery don't take that to the extreme. A micro fiber rag during...
If you get a lot of build up on your windows and it seems that you just can't get the streaks out. You can always us a fine clay bar with window cleaner (use the cleaner liberally to keep the window wet) to remove the build up then follow with a good waffle weave and window cleaner for a...
