    Fire extinguisher

    I’m with ya... you have to pretty darn close to the fire for it to be effective. And man, those little dudes are expensive at $80 a pop! If the price was little less, I’d buy some. The one thing I really like about the Element is it’s size and weight. Back when I was a FF/Medic, I ran a...

    Eeerie feeling this morning.....

    If there’s one good thing about this COVID thing, it’s that traffic has been great. Living in the DC area, I’ve never seen the highways so empty. Eeerie indeed.

    Bulge Seat vs Cone Seat Lug Nuts

    Gorilla is cheaper, yes. Best option? Not for me. I went with McGard (Black Bulge Cone 64074) because I read a lot of reviews (here on FRF) about Gorillas easily scratching and rusting over time. I just put the McGards on my Rap, so we’ll see how they hold up. So far I like them.

    GEN 2 Tailgate swap

    Well if not Amazon, then surely eBay would be the place to find a good one. J/k I just saw a video on YouTube with the stick on and agree that it doesn’t look right with the embossed F-150 below... way too cluttered.

    Fire extinguisher

    For in vehicle use, Halotron is the way to go - especially if you’re looking for an escape extinguisher... or if you’re trapped. ABC extinguishers are typically made up of monoammonium phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, or potassium bicarbonate. These components are corrosive and can often...

    While it’s a little snug, no issues at all.

    I'm curious... why don't you do something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W43HXKQ/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

    Does it matter when you buy your extended warranty?

    That’s a very valid point, ljn21, you have to be insured with GEICO - and like their rates.

    Does it matter when you buy your extended warranty?

    Here’s the funny thing about this topic... no one wants to spend money on these things... and then no one actually wants to use it once they have it. What’s wrong with this picture!?!? LOL I’m with Donmatteo. For me and how often I buy new cars, GEICO MBI is the best option for me. And I...

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    This. I think the current situation is temporary and we’ll all go back to our normal lives soon enough. The economy will slowly rebound, like it always does. In the meantime, production has slowed and supply and demand will dictate the prices. On a side note, money is cheap right now. I...

    Phone Button on the Steering Wheel

    I use the center button (with the dude talking) to voice activate the call. The lower left phone button answers the call while the lower right phone button hangs up the call. Hope this helps.

    eBay Scam or Not???

    According to the eBay listing, the truck sold this morning. I sure hope someone didn't get scammed into that listing!

    Jack Stands - safe way to jack the beast up

    I would normally agree with you, except in this case, the owners manual doesn't provide everything Trouttrad is asking about. For example, the manual for my '19 and '17 both show an illustration indicating not to put the scissor jack under the diff. No where does it specifically state to not...

    Jack Stands - safe way to jack the beast up

    No worries... thanks Meatworld. I would love to find one that goes 27”... the highest at HF goes 24”.

    eBay Scam or Not???

    What a scum bag... definitely a scam. I just pulled the window sticker for the VIN and it comes back to an 2018 XLT. And check out the box where it states that this vehicle is not intended for sale in the U.S. I've never seen this before.

    Jack Stands - safe way to jack the beast up

    Do you have the model number or link for the HF floor jack that goes up to 27"?

    Modifications

    You have been lucky! And no, I drive primarily on pavement. Though our roads in the DC metro area are constantly under construction, so mines as well be gravel. LOL

    Modifications

    You could always go with a clear piece of vinyl and make it disappear. Protecting that area is a good idea as I've got 15k on the clock and I've got several chips in those areas.

    Fake Ford Parts

    Thanks for your input, Smurf! I'm sending these back. I see that Tasca offers a 12 pack of OEM filters w/o a box. I'm guessing Amazon buys these things in bulk and then just throws them in a box for shipping. And yeah... I wouldn't be using any prescription pills floating around in the...
