Back in the dinosaur days we would just drill two holes in the frame and bolt on a hook we got from the speed shop or 4wd store.
I never saw one of them come loose. All we had back then were straps without much stretch and we hit them hard.
I guess if the bolt is big enough and good enough...
Curiosity got the best of me. I ordered a USB tester and a couple of extension cables.
The way the tester plugs in directly to the ports on the BS I have to use an extension cable to be able to read the tester. Total cable length was 6 feet. Three foot extension plus three foot charge cable.
I...
I wait for big thunderstorm and then drive as fast I can. That gets the bugs off.
J/K, but driving in the rain is always an option to get them off or at least soften them up.
If rain isn't in the forecast I use the pressure washer on them. I have the pressure washer out regardless as I...
That's interesting, my android phones are able to charge while running Android Auto, Waze And Rocket Player(music).
Does Carplay take that much more power to run than Android Auto?
There's two issues, heat from charging and state of charge.
Phone batteries, all batteries don't like to be too hot (or too cold). Too much heat will shorten battery life. As Osco says, most modern phones have temperature sensors and circuitry to reduce heat from charging so this becomes...
With my previous phone, a Motorola 5g Stylus, it would show "turbopower" charging when connected to the USB c port. I believe that requires at least 15 watts.
Apple is 25 or 30 watts? That would feel slow for sure.
You're right, sitting at 100% charge is not good for the battery.
Look in...
The fact that we both know what Daisy Dukes are and how they got their name says how old we are. :)
Ah yes, the days of two door pickups without AC, bench seats, beer in the cooler, gals in tube tops and Daisy Dukes.
A long time ago a dealer pulled variation of the car key thing on my best friend. Said the used car manager went home with his truck and they couldn't get in touch with him. This was long before cell phones.
I reached down and dialed 911 and told the operator we needed the police to report a...
It pretty much laughed at their course.
Roman did say he considers the Sport to be the best of the soft roaders. I wonder how much hate mail he's going to get from Subaru owners for saying that.
I expect that a lifted Subaru will be on their course very soon.
Might try swapping ports. The usb c port is faster, might be better or might be more finicky about cables.
I've been thinking about one of those wireless AA adapters. Maybe try one of those.
Depending on my mood, I might have pointed out the reliability issues with the Bronco (dropping valves, fuel pumps dieing, the low mounted alternator that gets killed by water crossings and infotainment screens that go black with parts on permanent backorder). Maybe with a "are you worried...
Cable is my first guess.
Try Google maps and see if that works, if so it's probably not a cable issue and points more towards Waze.
FWIW, Waze worked 95% on my Moto Stylus 5G with occaisonal lockups on long trips.
Tried it with my new Z Flip 4 last weekend for an hour and it worked...
If you hand wax consider buying an orbital polisher. It will change your life :) the wax goes on in a third or less of the time. It will also come off easier when it dries.
Having the orbital will also give the option of doing a polish when desired. The up front costs and learning curve can be...
At the TX OffRodeo back in March all of the BS BL had the Scorpions. I was impressed by how well they did.
My BL has the optional Wildpeak tires and it did great in the snow.
