That's right 1,200 miles of dirt, gravel and rocks to the Arctic Ocean and back on the Dempster "Highway" as well as the Top of the World Highway and I couldnt be happier with the performance of their products. Yes this was an extreme test over just six days, but think about everyday hazards...
I just installed two weeks ago for this trip the following Mabett protection products:
fender flares
mudflaps
underbody cavity shield cover
rear wheel splash shield covers
tailgate hole cover
Tomorrow I start the Alaska Highway, but that is not the real test of durability and protection. On...
All the horror stories and somehow I bought the unicorn. The original flooded battery just started the no dome light symptom as well as the occasional for no reason at all needing to be jumped off a battery pack I have always kept under the rear seat. Twice I have used a NOCO battery...
The brake light switch behind the brake pedal is really tucked away so I am looking for another location to tap into the wire. I am running a Ready Brake tow bar with surge brake that mechanically pulls the Maverick’s brake pedal. To verify it is working properly a wire needs to run from the...
The road to the White Mountain Peak trailhead is 36 miles roundtrip. The road has a reputation of severe washboard conditions and sharp rocks in some areas that can cause flats. I’m thinking about airing down my stock 225/65 17’s on my FWD hybrid XLT for just this road to 25 pounds and inflating...
They are getting 4.5 for Amazon reviews and they are dual PP/TPE composition like the Mabett’s. Personal taste here, I don’t like how far out of the body line and how long the Mabetts are, but I like how both flex in the bottom half. Yes, I’ll probably have apply some paint protection film with...
Well two weeks ago my dealer replaced the right front axle under warranty on my 2022 hybrid, but a clunking still remains when turning hard left. Back at the dealership they now say I need my right lower control arm replaced for $1,250. I ask if they can just replace the bushings and I am told...
Yes, I know this seems hard to believe, but Kirkland full synthetic lacks the required Ford WSS-M2C962-A1 specification that is in your owners manual. WSS is a Ford specific requirement and putting the wrong oil, even if it is the right viscosity could void your warranty. Do you have to use...
I thought I didn’t have the hood flutter issue until I drove into a 40 mph headwind. The TSB fix is to install a self adhesive foam block piece at the rear of the hood. I have driven this same windy stretch several time in other vehicles and none of the hoods moved at all. No saying they can’t...
Yes this is only for hybrids, and they do not have one yet for hybrids with adaptive cruise control (but they plan to). Way cleaner than the Blue Ox setup, the first pic is the Blue Ox setup, the remaining pics are the Roadmaster. You tell me which looks cleaner...
Roadmaster‘s baseplate prototyping process is complete and should be available for sale around March 18.
My truck was the second and final truck in the process and was completed Friday, Feb 4. I added rubber inserts to keep the tubes clean and because it just looks better when not towing. Also...
If you have a road bike the 2x4 with skewers mounted to it and place in the front bed grooves hack won’t work for you 😞. With a road bikes handlebars goes forward from the headset, so the handlebars won’t clear the rear window. You can use a trailer mounted hitch, place one in the rear seat with...
Wow, different interest rates for the XL vs XLT & Lariat. Now we know why the didn’t raise the price for the XL.

On 12/8 I received an email with a 12/12 to 12/18 delivery window.
On 12/22 I received an email with a 12/24 to 12/30 delivery window.
Today the tracker changed to a 12/29 to 1/4 delivery window.
It has been in San Diego since last Wed, but not at my dealer. Really they took it from the rail...
Cliff Notes:
The results show that nitrogen does reduce pressure loss, but the reduction was only a 1.3 psi difference from air-filled tires over an entire year.

So the tracking link only show Convoy transport, anyone knows what truck transport company works out of the Mira Loma rail yard that serves all of So Cal? I know my hybrid has been off loaded off the rail car.
Leaning towards the BAK Flip MX4 as BAK Flip actually makes Ford’s folding cover under its other brand name REV. It is less $$$ than buying from Ford and the warranty is 5 years vs Ford’s 3 year. Xtang 2.0 looks like another quality cover as well (sure there are others too). I am really...
