Of course I didn't. Ha. 😇 I'd had to jump start my car 3 times in 12 hours, I wasn't even thinking of the recall at the time I dropped it off. I wish I had taken a pic. I know it did not have the AGM battery prior to replacement. (Disclaimer: this tale does not mean I don't like my car - I...

So, I went in with my paperwork; the service manager had to "research" my battery history to see if it qualified under the recall (even though I have the recall notice sent by Ford). Didn't hear anything Monday or Tuesday so I went back in on Wednesday, and reminded the service manager that I...

The glass part is what gives me pause and will make me go the touch up paint route first - but there are several good YouTube videos out there that show the process, so I am sure I could figure it out, but it would be the most complicated thing I've done on my BS thus far.

I am headed into my dealer on Monday to see about getting a refund on my battery since the fix is now official. I tried today but the advisor there didn't have the ability to process a refund. I will update on whether or not I get my $$ back.

So I've spent a week or so Googling and searching the forums (for various Ford products) but haven't really seen anything relevant. So I'm posting here to gather some ideas/get feedback. About two weeks ago, my car suffered the typical rock shot from driving on the Interstates in Colorado. It...

I had to pay for my battery replacement out of pocket on 3/31. I've kept the paperwork handy for when the answer to the recall is "replace the battery" so I can get reimbursed.

I drive in the snow fairly frequently in Colorado. First thing (and my gripe every time it snows here in CO) is make sure your tires (all-seasons, snow, whatever) are in good condition and are properly inflated. Second, AWD or 4x4 means nothing if your tires have no traction. So - take it easy...

I went into High Country Performance in Englewood with my friend who has a Wrangler back in 2022 when I got mine - I asked if they'd hypothetically do one and they said yes. They were super helpful to my Wrangler friend, and they did have some 4-Runners, big Broncos, and some trucks in the lot...

My setup... first two are from my trip to Illinois for the eclipse back in April. Last is from the trip to Eleven Mile State Park this weekend in Colorado. Tent is a Naturnest Rooftop Tent, awning is a Timber Ridge (both from Amazon). Set up has worked well this summer so far, three trips in...

I'm still at stock height and as of yet (about 1 year on) I haven't noticed any rub with the 245s.

That's good to know. I figure any new application could have some glitches though, and then add in COVID-challenges... that was my thought process anyway.

I have the Ford ESP for 84,000 miles, which for my driving needs will get me to 5 years (hopefully). I looked at it specifically because this was a new model and the oldest one on the road is a 2021, so no one really knows how this particular configuration of parts will work in the long term...

So, I am currently using this: https://a.co/d/iDnWqDJ I picked mine up at Home Depot. It works great in the winter, spring and fall. However, in the summer, my ethernet jack did fall off (I live in Southern Colorado and we get some pretty warm days around here). I haven't found anything yet...

My BB is almost 14 months old to the day, 31,080 miles on it. I love my car, and have had no real issues with it. I had the two recalls - but I knew buying a new model car that recalls were possible and it was a risk I was okay taking because I was excited about the car. I'd rather there be...

Got her cleaned up: Then went out to find more dirt:

While cool, if you did this in 2023: Black Bear Pass from the San Miguel County line down to Telluride has not been opened (yet) for vehicle traffic this year. Road status should be verified with San Miguel County and not through social media. Please respect the status of trails so they aren't...

It's my only ride, so when I need to go places outside quick walk/bike distance it also gets to go (unless I drive my mom's car to occasionally start it up, which is a 2013 Escape). For work, two days a week I have to be in Denver so my round trip each day for that is 225 miles; the other three...

I tried a few, but here's the ones I think fit best: https://www.autozone.com/starting-charging-and-miscellaneous-electrical/fuse-power-tap/p/bussmann-circuit-fuse-tap/547344_0_0 I did a write up of my GMRS radio/dashcam install here, but here's the relevant fuse tap picture:

I did let some air out, but I'll check tire pressure tomorrow again and see if I can let more out. I wondered too if this piece (pic) might be in the wrong place in my car. It did not like the groove pattern in my tires. I didn't have any carpet or a pad other than those two small black pieces...
