  1. Those of you with JCR Skid plates.... make your life easier!

    I had bought the gun as a kit from Harbor Freight and it came with assorted inserts. I do believe they were M5 and M8.
  2. Those of you with JCR Skid plates.... make your life easier!

    Fully agree with you. For now it’s “hand tighten only” but I think I might extend my project one of these days and actually tack the edges of them for better security. For now it’s a step in a better direction of simplicity.
  3. Those of you with JCR Skid plates.... make your life easier!

    So the nut rivets go into pre-existing holes in the frame that would have normally had threaded inserts in them for the OEM skid plate on the badlands. Absolutely no drilling required. After a few rounds at the dealer they were starting to swap hardware for random crap they had laying around...

  6. Oil & filter change intervals / frequency

    As an ex-technician I can promise you there is no such thing as a "lifetime" fluid. Fluids are being engineered to be thinner and get worked harder, all in the name of fuel economy. If you dropped the trans pan on a vehicle with 20k miles or popped the diff cover I think you'd be shocked at how...
  7. Oil & filter change intervals / frequency

    I run full syn Amsoil 5w20 and a Motorcraft filter every 5 k miles. Someone will step in and say 10k is just fine and say how oil technology is evolved.... I don't trust that. Most service intervals today are built around planned obsolescence. My 22' BSBB has already had its fluids changed at 20...
