The pillar to pillar screens are ridiculous. I thought the purpose was to Drive not be entertained. We already have distracted drivers.
But people love gimmicks like Wifi Enabled Refrigerators and Washing Machines, so I guess this is the next gimmick like 3d tv's to attract new buyers.
Done tons of brakes. Brake flushes are a waste at that mileage UNLESS you did a lot of towing and hard braking. Fluid takes a very long time to break down as the system is sealed unless you overheat the fluid. Also a lot of dealers do not even flush the brakes they just charge you as there is no...
Water in the connector is most likely the issue. On the Raptor forum they talk about it and then blow the connector out with air. If you live in a dry climate it should clear up soon. Yeah not sure the design or was the car wash pressure extra strong.
I doubt its worth it. Ford is pretty good at choosing the right driveshafts in general. My Ford E350 has an aluminum for some reason. I do not know the what is in the 4th Gen Expys. Aluminum has its issues. There is a recent recall with Ford recalling 250K 250's and some 188k F150 for fracturing...
There was a big thread on another forum about the engine should not run cool as the various metals and parts need to interact with each other at the correct temperatures. But with the transmission most say you can run it cooler. But in reality the goal is to keep it at its optimal temperature in...
Yes like others said do not set the pressure outside of what is on the door sticker for normal driving.
If you have 20"s or 22"s and live where the roads are not that great, going to an 18" will give you a much nicer rider.
This is why all the Trophy Trucks and off road vehicles go with 17"s...
Been working on my Fords and other cars for decades and depending on the part each is different.
For items like Skid Plates, Radiators its best to go to the local dealer as to avoid shipping, especially if its a heavy or large item. BUT some local dealers are still more expensive then getting it...
So when you get the parts it comes from a Rock Auto Address and not drop shipped for Ford? Also not referring to small stock items like thermostats, alternators, etc which everyone stocks. More like items like a Radiator or some larger Motocraft part.
Arrogance may have played into Toyota decision. No doubt they are kings with certain cars and the 4Runner has been a top contender since the dawn of time.
But one is for the budget friendly owner who wants to long lasting no nonsense car, and the other is for the pseudo world explorer owners who...
I agree tires are probably the #1 change to a smoother ride and running the Ford psi's regardless of the tire.
When I got my Toyo Open Country's I set them to what the spec sheet said and what forums said in the +50 range.
Ride sucked. Slowly went down and down to settle at 35psi and made a huge...
The only issue with the rear would be cosmetic. As you lift the rear the rear wheel swings forward and it will not be centered when looking from the side. For the fronts its debatable but there is a point where the ball joints will run at a weird angle.
If you put kings in the back and front and...
Regardless of the coil over you get I would consider some parts from the rough country lift.
The rear link bars to keep the rear centered (IMO this looks bad when not) and a new lower front control arm to maintain correct ball joint angle.
If I were every to do mine I would go with some RC...
From another forum
Be aware that running a cooler thermostat is likely to modestly shorten the life of the engine.
Modern engines are designed to operate at a high internal temperature to ensure a clean, complete burn as well as good lubricity and minimal water content in the engine oil.
As...
They got lazy a greedy and went to play the numbers game so the Tow Capacity is much higher than most SUVs. Apparently they have a 9500 tow capacity now. But such a high capacity is stupid on a 5600 lb vehicle. So instead of designing a new heavier duty rear to match they put some old solid axel...
The SEMA rig used custom fox coil overs and obviously changed the rear control arms and possibly some in the front. But its pretty secret. My Timberline has the same rear as yours but it has like a 1.5" front lift from factory by longer shock only.
If I were you I would figure out how to...
Would not lose sleep waiting for it. I waited for mine thinking it would be life changing but it was no big deal. A few new options but nothing game changing. Wish I could reclaim all the time I spent checking for it.
Great point. Also I do not understand bull bars. They kill the aero of the car and they kinda look crappy IMO. Maybe on a farm where its used for 100% utility.
Nothing wrong with running a smaller spare for a short distance in 2H. Waste of money to invest and try to fit the spare in the holder for that rare time you get a flat.
The ones with the black grill do not look bad. But the interior is very plastic and clunky. The sliding trays, cupholders, etc.
It cannot even come close to the niceness of the Ford Interior. I like Toyota as a brand they make some great stuff like the 4runner.
But I would take a Gen 4 Expy any...
