I fabricated a mounting plate from sheet steel and used the mounting bracket that came with the compressor. I used M6 rivnuts and bolts to install the mounting plate in the fender.

Exactly this. People use those el cheapo 12V oulet compressors for 20+ minutes straight. That's a good way to melt your compressor before you're done using it. The ARB single is certainly overkill for our small tires, but it gets the job done fast and I don't have to worry about duty cycle...

Whatever style you're interested in, look for short power leads and a long hose rather than long leads and a short hose. It's more efficient to compress a long hose and maintain that pressure than it is for electricity to flow through a long cord. Heavy gauge wire will also help reduce power...

No wobble. It rides solid and silent.

Good suggestion, though I think it'll have to be a dealership that offers FORScan services. When I first did mine, FORScan couldn't relearn the PCM. I took it to the dealer and they told me Ford doesn't let dealerships adjust tire sizes anymore. They said they also had to use FORScan, but since...

Download FORScan, download an extended license, buy an OBDII cable (this one or this one), then follow these instructions. It is strongly recommended you download backups of your as built configurations for each module. I did a quick search and this video appears to explain how to do it. I...

Did you correct your tire circumference using FORScan? If you put larger tires on but your BS still thinks you have the OEM tires, your odometer will think you're traveling less distance, your indicated MPGs will drop, and your indicated speed will be less than your actual speed.

Adding to Kong: To free the wrench, turn the nut on the left corner (as shown in the photo) to "lower" the jack. The wrench is hooked onto the jack, but closing it releases the wrench. Sidebar: has "spare tire well insulation" been added to the list of things removed from the BS?

What does it look like under the plate? I suspect either they didn't drill into at least one of the standoffs or they did but messed it up so bad that they drilled a new adjacent hole. If the former, you can just screw into the standoff and be good to go. If the latter, you could shave some...

I think I remember seeing something in FORScan to disable this, but not sure if it works.

I installed a Dirtcom Trail Swing spare carrier. People have already posted pics of it installed, but I haven't seen any pics of how close it can fit to the back. I used the deepest pin position and it has just enough clearance from the bumper.

Asked and answered.

Lol right? Ford didn't shaft him, he shafted himself! ?

How'd you relocate you rear camera?

The pollen I've seen in North Texas (or any of the states I've lived in, for that matter) doesn't hold a candle to the literal pollen dunes I experienced in Alabama. The sheer volume of pollen produced by the pine trees where I lived was unreal. You could shovel it. But maybe I'm not living in...

You should move this to the Wheels, Tires, and Brakes Marketplace instead of posting it in General Topics. The Marketplace is where people will look to buy things.

For continuity, I'm adding my response to the your post earlier this morning in a different thread: Only you can answer if it's worth it, as you'll be footing the bill should anything go wrong. You'll be at an increased risk of rollover. That said, I personally wouldn't sweat it. And neither...

Only you can answer if it's worth it, as you'll be footing the bill should anything go wrong. You'll be at an increased risk of rollover. That said, I personally wouldn't sweat it. And neither would Ford. Their own promo materials show a BL (presumably with BL package) hooning through the forest...

I did a functions check of the compressor install today by testing out an inflatable off-road jack. Took 10 psi to get both wheels off the ground. The fabric panel under the driver side has a contour in it where I placed the jack. I didn't pay enough attention beforehand to know if that's the...

Factory tires should be at 33 psi. Most aftermarket tires should be pretty close to that, too. Don't inflate your tires to the pressure on the tire sidewall. That's max pressure and the majority of drivers will never need that much pressure in their tires.
