Are you referring to the heads of the bolts being seemingly too large to fit in the recesses? It's a very tight fit, but when I actually tightened the bolts down they drew themselves down into the recess and I was able to slide a ball mount all the way across the track. Not ideal, but in the end...
Thanks to the heads-up by @bdallas9 I was able to get in on the pre-order of the new TackForm TRAXX dash mount system and unlike a lot of other pre-orders, it actually arrived early. I chose the Slim Track option and picked up a mag mount for a radar detector initially with one of their blue...
Thanks for letting me know Rival is listing my videos, NGL feels pretty good.
When I did my install I had maybe 1/4 tank and it wasn't bad for me to push the tank/strap up the amount I needed. With a full tank it'll be significantly heavier and will definitely be a challenge to lift as you're...
There's been a flurry of manufacturers showing off or releasing Molle panels for the NA crowd recently but I'm not after full panels. I wanted something more like what PirateCampCo has for the Aussie folks but between shipping to the US and wanting something to work with the receiver shackle...
I've only ever really considered the WeatherTech ones (have had good luck with those on my daily). Any fitment issues? The one I'm finding on RealTruck is listing the P/N for the 5G trucks, GY003449LP, but Amazon lists the 6G trucks as GY008018
About 6700mi in on my '24 XLT and have no complaints (about the engine). It's a big part of the reason I went with the Ranger over the GM twins. I'm getting ~22mpg on the highway at around 75mph empty and I get ~12mpg at 75mph towing my track car on an open trailer (~5000lb). Tech has all been...
I believe someone else on here also did the RallyFlaps on their truck and did bend up a bracket like you are thinking. I wanted to do something more simple, and I have ready access to rivnuts.
FWIW, I do still like the flaps on my truck. I need to get more appropriate wheels/tires like you...
I'm running RallyFlapz on my 24 XLT that I ordered from the UK. I actually trimmed mine down because they were so wide, but if you like the "rally" look these definitely fit the bill. I had to make a minor modification to the front crash bar winglets because they aren't on ROW trucks, but it was...
I purchased my '24 XLT without the FX4 package and since I plan to do some overlanding with the truck in the future I have been gradually armoring it up with the complete set of skids from @RIVAL 4x4. The last piece of the puzzle arrived recently and I finally had an opportunity to install it...
As others have mentioned, I am keeping an Element E50 in my truck (gradually adding them to every vehicle). I took inspiration from the Pirate Camp Co mount and designed my own for the passenger side of my NA truck. I do need to reposition my clips because one of them will make contact with an...
Have the whole hood done in PPF, and ideally the fenders, bumper, mirror caps, door handle cups, and fuel door. A good installer and quality film last a long time and does an amazing job while also being basically invisible.
Using an extractor on the 2.7 works fine. Took me a couple of tries to get the depth right, but I pulled a full 6qt out of mine on my first change. I was originally going to then pull the drain plug to see how much I left, but after seeing how much came out I didn't even bother. Next change I'll...
Depending on what style you are interested in (Rally vs more "conservative") I ordered a set of RallyFlapz out of the UK for my US '24XLT. At the time (pre-tariffs) it basically ended up similar in cost to something form RokBlokz/RallyArmor.
I did a little write-up here...
Just did ~1000mile round trip in my '24 with the 2.7L and about 5k on the odo. Cleveland, OH to Bowling Green, KY empty with cruise set at 78mph and running 87 octane in Eco I got an indicated 23.3mpg. Bowling Green to Cleveland towing my new to me car trailer with stone guard, cruise at 75mph...
My '24 XLT shares space with a couple of toys:
2005 TT350Z
2011 GT-R
2016 Golf R (daily)
1986 F250 (needs some TLC and then to get sold)
There's also a 91 Jeep Cherokee that's in a lot of pieces to eventually become a rock crawler. And then there's also my wife's 2009 Mini Cooper (also...
That style of grille guard isn't for me, but it definitely seems to fit the truck well and should provide some peace of mind protection. Really liking the wheel and tire package, and adding the white lettering to the Falkens :thumbsup:
Took a 950mi round trip to go pick up a new to me Futura Super-Sport trailer this weekend to tow my cars to the track. Managed 23.3mpg in Eco mode at 75mph on the way down and 16.3mpg at 75mph in Tow/Haul on the way back. May have to look into tow mirrors of some kind because with the stone...
That whole setup looks awesome! I've been waiting for some of the higher end suspension to become available, glad to see Dobinsons has some options now. How does the truck feel with the extra weight on the back? Would also love to hear back when you get the rear leaves on. What springs F/R did...
ARB USA has a dedicated page bragging about the partnership with Ford and imply that a lot of the products are destined for the US:
