Not where I live. If you trade in a vehicle for a new purchase, none of that value counts against sales tax for the purchase of the second vehicle. In this case you'd only pay the sales tax on the first vehicle. The second vehicle is funded via trade in to the dealer. Obviously not true if...

I don't agree, but hey where is this going? I will say, quoting an ambulance chaser Ph.D "expert" is not my kind of reference. I read that article as someone selling his services to the highest (lawyer) bidder for lawsuits involving vehicle accidents. I'd prefer to see the engineering test...

Remember that old movie "All the President's Men" The answer there is "Follow the money". Pretend you are a wheel manufacturer. Tooling and investment money is EXTREMELY expensive. How many bore diameters do you want to manage within your manufacturing facility? Pick one. make it easy. I...

I used to be an automotive engineer. I once worked on a team that had a problem. At a particular model year launch, the original design team made a design change. They converted the wheel mounting system from Acorn style lug centric attachment to hub centric. The wheel hubs were bored to a...

Me too.. I did this on the cheap. Aluminum 10# cylinder from Craigslist ($80) Nice metal handle and 150psi fixed regulator from Preece Precision (~$100 for both) And after reading here about the in vehicle CO2 leak I still need a solid mount.

Why purchase when you can rent the tool for free? Autozone tool rental program. Easy peasy.

Here's a nice one...

Or design your own... $154...

Ouch. I’m embarrassed to admit I was in the same place. I figured that if I’m going to have a long wait, perhaps I can soften things a bit by picking up something used to get me off-road now! I started looking at all kinds of used 4x4 vehicles. Craigslist,OfferUp, Ebay (sort by distance)...

Pretend you are opening the door on your vehicle. Where do you think all the weight is supported? Yup, on the two hinge points. And its plenty strong. Remember once the doors are hung on the hinge points for storage, there is no relative movement. (Earthquake aside). Not to worry.

Alas, no Bronco. (Reservation 28 Nov2020, Badlands Sasquatch hardtop trlr tow, v6). Is that a late 2023 Model Year? I’ve got engineering knowledge and experience, steel and TIG welder at the ready. Anybody in Las Vegas with Bronco in hand, wanna volunteer to be first?

I’m quite sure the steering wheel airbag supplier designed this one. One thing that’s a small bit different here… Except perhaps Mustang convertable, I would expect the steering wheel in the new Bronco to have a whole lot more exposure to sunlight. And sunlight (UV rays) really has an adverse...

Absolutely a warranty replacement. The backside of the airbag cover is molded with a “groove” split line to control exactly how that cover flower pedal splits open during an airbag deployment. The engineering team on airbag deployments works pretty hard to see there are no “missiles” on...

Cute. Today is 2022. I’m not expecting my Bronco until 2024 or so. Reservation date late Nov, 2020. Badlands, v6, auto, Sasquatch, trlr tow… If I had only known then what I know now.

Hmmm. One thing. Check out the Reservation agreement, dated July 7, 2020. I want to bring your attention to paragraph #11, 11. Force Majeure. Your participation in the Program and/or your Reservation does not create liability for Ford or you for any failure to perform due to an event...

And yes, I'm in the same vote as you, waiting patiently for my Bronco. 1) None of us know the complete details on what components are in short supply. We don't know the logjam in the supply chain or the expected output when things get fixed. It's possible a tool broke and they have to make a...

One thing I've seen lately that was pretty impressive. Robby Layton is a Bodyshop guy in Utah that has a nice youtube channel. Here's an episode where he does some repair on a vehicle plastic grill. The repair work is in the first few minutes of this video... Oops, the majority of the grill...

Not disagreeing with you guys, but you gotta "Follow the Money". What we really don't know is the status of all the missing components. What are they, how many are in the pipeline, and when are they getting here. I'm quite sure there are stories for each delayed component. We'd all love...

Great call for those committed to having fun offroad, but I have to store it somewhere, and then transport it to the offroad site. No go for me. No truck here. No vehicle with trailer hitch. No trailer. I'm still thinking along the lines of a new or used Wrangler...
