There are a lot of thoughtful anecdotal online videos on this. Pizza cutter is getting more focus (again) as (1) more bloggers pick up the issue, and (2) more ute vehicle drivers go off road. This goes way back to WW2 when GM raised the issue with the US Army. (German Army was transitioning to...

You are right. New tire to new tire, you added 8lb/tire, or 40lbs total, maybe 50lbs if your factor in worn tire vs. new tire. That's still less than a bag of cement. Don't know why people over focus on such a non-issue. The weight affects rotational momentum, which mostly affects braking. So...

Finally, a vendor that talks honestly to the community and provides real capacity information for the CTD members. Bravo for not being afraid to tell the truth, and not hiding behind misleading marketing.

Good. Don't. I don't either. I have 45+ years in the automotive and defense manufacturing industry working with engineers and executive management, with access to people and information most never see or get. I use actual intelligence, discernment and common sense to reply - mostly common...

They don't allow paint shops in VA?

Oh, this could be fun! I am looking forward to how member fluid dynamics, materials conductance, wavelength variance calculus, medium reflective angular return, and other analysis will stack up to the Ford engineers who already did the analytics on this. OP may have something here ... or not.

My suggestion was for the PASSENGER window, not the front windshield, to test. My focus was on the loss of side visibility - a major factor in collisions, day or night time. The side window is already approx. 25% reduced VLT when it comes out of the factory. That is why the front side windows...

Not sure any one really answered the issue you were trying to solve. I am paraphrasing what I think @buzpro wants to know. If ceramic tint contributes to lowering the interior heat factor on a Bronco, what is my visible light transmission (VLT) reduction, because I have bad night vision. The...

that can work. you are dealing with "over sized" holes that collectively might allow that amount play. They are not slotted holes. I would get a 3ft level and set your vehicle level with the help of a jack on one side. Then loosen the bolts, each a few turns, until all are loose enough to get...

If you are missing the PPF strip, Ford should replace it at no cost, even if the vehicle is beyond 3 year warranty. You need to work with the dealer and Ford's warranty department on that; generally speaking, they realize a missing part is a missing part. YOU would have to take care of the...

Let's be honest here. This is 5% off. MAYBE another 25% ONLY IF some 29 others can be convinced to buy some too. This is NOT a group buy. This product was criticized here 6 days ago and here as not built well and only in blue. The Wolfbox comes in both clear and blue, and has a fully molded...

I've seen several Jeeps with low profile ones. They were a statement. Good on most; gaudy on a Renegade. Never seen a Bronco with that; you can be the forum members' first-to-show. Did you consider going with a less expensive trial version and save $370. Similar for less $$$ If it works and...

Their banner on the order page: *IMPORTANT* PLEASE READ AND AGREE BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER. Most items are built to order and currently we are averaging approximately 6 months production time. Smaller items such as dog leashes & handles will generally ship within 2-3 weeks. If you need to...

How do you feel about what the Fox Box ported enclosure did to the rear space? Acquaintance in our group added similar one to his Jeep. Wired it as a quick disconnect so he can take it out when he off-roads. He loves the bass amplification when it is in and the rear is clear, but it eats up a...

One with 15W charging and better extension Also costs less. I like several of the products Mabett has offered in the past. First to market, good design, quality build, reasonable price. However, this exact design is available from other distributors for less than this promo offer. Mabett is...
