Oh- I’ve definitely seen your stuff and I’d love to have some Aussie Ranger parts on my truck, it’s just the shipping to the US can be really expensive.

I installed an aftermarket Raptor type grill on my 2024 yesterday.

If I’m driving on snow or ice, which is rare here, I’m in 4H. Luckily for us, the roads get plowed and it usually warms up in a few days. Maybe 3-4 times a year it gets that way. And yeah, no need to lower psi if I’m just careful.
