I have no complaints with my FX4 suspension.

It baffles me that you perceive anything in this thread as a hissy, but I guess we all have different levels of triggering. Stating your opinion of a plug as absolute fact, does not make it so. All I ask if for data to support the ineffectiveness or safety risk of a properly placed and...

Perceived liability is a growing factor in many businesses. There was a thread here recently about tire shops not willing to install anything other than factory tire size, regardless of what mods were done to the vehicle or what tire size they were replacing. I feel you on the commie part...

I will concede to your expertise on raw doggin' in Thailand. ;)

The Tread Connection article states plugs are safe when installed properly, to an acceptable type and location of damage. The Carabin Shaw article notes 4 court cases in the last 26 years, one was patch only which is not relevant to a plug only discussion. One claims the second repair was done...

For everyone that says do a "proper" repair can you reference any data of plugs failing? I've installed many plugs on my, and on customer's tires over the years and never had, nor heard of a failure due to the plug. As to cost, that is fantastic that DT and various other do it for free, I don't...

From my POV increasing the air flow into the air box is only beneficial if you also increase the airflow capacity between the air box and intake manifold (and increase exhaust capacity). If a 3 inch pipe feeds the intake manifold, there's not much point in installing a 6 inch feed into the air...

I'm generally not a fan of running boards, but they look pretty good.

I have 6-8 chips and few dents already, not including the recent wheel stud damage on my hood. Not only the worst paint I have ever experienced, but the body panels are soft as well.

That's awesome, looking forward to install review and photos :)

I have a multi-month road trip I want to do through AZ, UT, CA, etc, and planning to start in late December, so I can get north before that ridiculousness starts, lol.

Yuk! I start sweating above freezing. I went to Vegas in August 2007, it was a mistake, lol.

Monday from my dash cam :)

Originally I planned on doing the rockers, lower door skins, wheel wells, and Warn Ascent front bumper. Since then however I've expanded the plan, and now doing the panel above the bumper, both fenders, both quarters, and both doors. I'll do right to the window trim, and box trim, then, then use...

Nice find! I am very interested in the rear with red brake light. I am just waiting for your install and confirmation that it works without errors, as other add-on rear lights tend to cause.

Yes sir, there's always a silver lining. No injuries, no other body damage (that I've noticed yet) and I was able to maintain the ETA to pick-up Trixie. If the wheel had come off, there would probably be extensive wheel well body damage, rear bumper/cover, rear quarter, rotor, caliper, brake...

Ford recommends 16,000km between oil changes. I played it safe and did it early at 15,974km (9924 miles). I'm at 31,818km and almost ready to do the 2nd. I use full synthetic, Mobil 1 or Castrol.

Broken wheel stud damage on the hood. HTF does a stud go from under the truck, to over the top and hit the hood hard enough to scratch and dent it?

Grab a coffee and comfy chair, it's a long post. The first day was uneventful. I left early that morning to avoid Toronto-commuters traffic, and pushed -13 hours to be ahead of schedule in case of weather or un-planned events. I parked in the entrance way to Neys Provincial Park. It is closed...
