Hahaha My brother always said "cross thread is a strong thread"

Point of reference, bolts called for 196ftlbs. My torque wrench maxes at 90. So with a breaker bar, 196ftlbs is 3 Oonga-Boongas, give or take.

Finally got around to adding my tow receiver to the truck. Mine didn't come with a tow package, but honestly I don't need the 7 point connector anyways and I wanna say the Curt receiver was just $150 from etrailer. Only issue, its listed max is 6000#. But whatever, my towing will be less than...

Yeah their move really just embodies the "slippery slope" that many say isn't happening down here (well up here for me). But I always chuckle when someone is on one type of forum, and get mad when an off topic thread is limited like it's a chat room. "I hate 5G because even though it's about...

Depends on the model, but generally yes. Mine has a 2 mile range. If installed by a good shop, should be perfectly reliable. On the Rangers, it's just a piggy back module under the dash. Basically a plug and play. Standard OEM fob also works as well after install so you don't lose anything...

Me too... I think I'm the only one that mentioned phone brand. If he's talking about me because the app won't run in my Motorola (I'm actually a Moto fan), and I recommend a remote over an app, then that's a conspiracy. Regardless, I live somewhere cold and use it everyday. And cell service...

My Motorola is only 3 years old, and the Ford app won't work (only app I've tried that hasn't). Coworkers also find it intermittent at times. I just got a compustar because I have them in all my cars. Can't beat a compustar if you actually want it to work every time. They also have their own...

The nice thing about Anchorage is it's only an hour away from Alaska...

Yeah my cousin showed me them! The best quote: "well, looks like we're staying the night". Crazy times every year up here. 2019 was awesome because it was my first summer living here and I bought a jetski... Everyone thought it was dumb until I was on the water every day... Island Life ?️

Yeah we got a little rain the other day in Eagle River. Even snowed back Hiland where that bad avalanche was, but we missed that by about a mile. I don't want to ask the weatherman for rain though, cuz it might not stop Here's hoping to a hot summer... Just not as bad a 2019.

Posted them mounted

Glory shots from the commute home from the shop

Finally got my summer wheels/tires mounted. Just a few quick shots. OEM tremor tires on Alpha wheels that were on clearance from Tire rack.

People run track in the winter in Alaska, seems to be decent for frozen lakes and trails. I've heard mixed reviews in the tough stuff. The Grand Tour on Amazon (Top Gear spinoff of sorts) has an episode where Hammond put tracks on his Ford RS and it really shows the weaknesses of the platform...

I also have a Curt receiver for my Tremor. Peeked at it quick before install, it looks like the spare tire might be in the way Did you have to ditch your spare, or just drop and adjust it to fit the Curt receiver? I didn't get lucky enough to build my Tremor so I didn't get the factory tow...

Only experience I have is with the Diamondback HD. Diamondback partners with another company for their racks. The racks may make accessing the flip up tonneau portions difficult, however having a 1200# load capacity for the cover is the trade off. At least worth looking at. I only have the...

Well now to my next problem...

But wait... Where's the manual?

What's an owner's manual? Signed, A Man.

Getting law degrees from Costco. Also reminds me of those YouTube videos of the "sovereign citizens" arguing with cops that they are traveling and not driving. Glad I skimmed
