Absolutely. I'm looking forward to throwing some racey pads on eventually or seeing if the aftermarket develops any different caliper bracket kits that can fit a larger rotor.
I'm paying more attention to what sort of takeoffs would be available down the line.
My plan is keeping my XLT FX4 for a decade at least and I really wouldn't mind adding a front limited slip at some point. Especially if it's plug and play with the correct gearing.
Finished up my slider install earlier this evening. 20 degree with tread plates.
For anyone installing these, I highly recommend running your bolts through the MP2 brackets before dropping them in your frame. One of mine had a little burr on the thread that felt like it was cross threading...
I'm still waiting for Fumoto. I've seen prototypes at automotive trade shows as recently as last year. I thought it would be here by now based on conversations with their team.
I put over 200K on a Fumoto valve on my old car, zero issues. I've put them on my other two cars right now. Will put...
Supposedly FX4 has different damping. If you search reviews, enough people have commented on differences in ride quality, better damping with the FX4 shocks
I think I'm going to give the Baja Boss AT a shot on my truck after I lift enough to fit 285s, looks like a nice improvement over the common KO2 and AT4W
I'm really feeling the gunmetal Everglades wheels and there are a few for sale local to me. Just gotta try to negotiate buying just the wheels and not the tires mounted on them
This also isn't correct. Belts can use nylon, kevlar, or even carbon fiber cord, and other fabrics too. These cords are then wrapped in rubber, EPDM, nitrile, viton or other synthetic "rubbers" based on the intended use and environment.
For the old timers, myself included, you'll remember that...
Fair, that seems lacking on these trucks. I've not seen any good solutions for the basic lift and level on Raptors and Rangers.
Then again my Jeep rides so much better without any sway bars. I'll connect them for driving certain Colorado paved mountain passes but most of the time they're...
I think you mean track bar, not sway bar. Same thing as a pan hard bar on the back of the Bronco. It's a third or fifth member that locates the axle. Longitudinal links control up and down motion and roll, panhard bar keeps the axle relatively centered under the car.
That wet belt isn't rubber y'all. There are a dozen different synthetics that you can vulcanize around a kevlar weave, that hold up to oil and fuel contamination. The OE serpentine belt isn't even rubber in the traditional sense.
Mishimoto has some on Summit Racing. They're the nice style that bolt to the rotors and then have an extra set of lugs for the wheel.
Always use red threadlocker to hold the spacers to the hub. Always torque them anytime you take the wheels off.
Huh, I've always heard of break in on new gears. The process seems pretty similar to breaking in new built engines. Run mildly for a few hundred miles, change the oil, run a little harder for a few hundred miles, change the oil. Send it hard.
