Although not needed, I ordered two extra bolts from the manufacturer of the cubby, just for appearances sake, to fill in the two extra holes. The bolts were fairly cheap. That said, I could not get them to screw into the two holes. I was afraid that I would snap them by trying too hard. I...

I got the carcover.com cover. I have gotten 4 or 5 covers from them. IIRC, they even have different grades of covers. Their elastic band is really strong enough no not need the cable lock, but I got one anyway. When I sold my cars, I included the covers, but kept the cable and lock. Good...

OB, something is wrong here! Your driveway routine is the giveaway. I think you are driving a BRITISH vehicle!!! Do your headlights flicker at night? Are there oil puddles where you park your truck? If so, I think that there was a mishap at a rail switch station, and someone in South...

I've had the same problem with my convertible when the top is down.

I second the emotion. I installed one on my passenger side. The installation was a breeze, as it fit right in and the holes matched up. But getting there was a nightmare. The Line-X installers had sprayed over the torx screws that hold the tie-down padeye on, so I had to take it to Line-X to...

Not to be a wet blanket, but all of those extra geegaws come at a price. Many of them require a SENSOR. There is the rub. My 2004 Thunderbird ("Retrobird") had 12,412 sensors. I had to replace a bad sensor every 63 minutes. The cheapest sensor was about $300. My great-great-great...

Worst-Case Scenario: the Line-X folks sprayed over the door.

Famous Joseph Lucas quote: NEVER DRIVE AT NIGHT.

My all-time favorite Lucas joke: Three settings on Lucas headlight switch: DIM, FLICKER, OFF We better be careful: this is a FORD MAVERICK forum.

Yes, but they better hope that HE isn't looking over their shoulder when they turn that knob.

Based on YOUR recommendation, I ordered one that should arrive the 11th. No pressure, but my attorney would like your Social Security Number.

I have had my Hybrid for just over a year, and am still gun shy about trying out the different modes. This comes from all my years in British sports cars. I finally got Lucas electric overdrive put into my last TR3B, and I CRINGED every time I flicked that OD switch, whether on or off. Woody...

I get tailgated a lot also, but I suspect that it is just drivers wanting to read the small "Hybrid" on my tailgate. Most of my tailgaters are pickup truck drivers. To respond to your other comment, I suspect that the MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE Santa Cruz, by Hyundai, is a better built vehicle than...

Thanks, guys! That's what I wanted to hear. I hadn't bothered to look under the truck, as I only used the hitch for my bed extender. But, now that I am VAGUELY considering a small trailer, I am concerned about the existence of the 4-pin electrical hookup.

In a related question, does the 2K hitch come with the 4-pin wiring setup, or is that extra?

NVJ, I hope you're right. I have something that might reinforce your opinion. After the technician installed the new wheels, he had to program the new sensors. His hand-held device wouldn't do the trick, so he had to come back the next day with a different device. He told me that, in the...

FWIW, I just had BBS wheels installed on my XL, Tire Rack had to reprogram their new sensors to my truck. Which leads me to a related question: Since I kept the old sensors on my OEM wheels, if I decided to put snow tires on them for the winter, wouldn't I have to reprogram them BACK onto my...

I believe the proper word is "venison." Good luck: the first Austin Healey I ever saw was the result of a collision with a big buck up near Yosemite, about 1957. The only way I could tell it was a Healey was by the back bumper.
