  1. Rhinoliner/LineX/Raptor coating the plastic trim

    Project Farm has a couple of videos on bed liners. Climate seems to be a big factor, some brands are good in hot weather but poor in cold weather, and vice versa. IIRC the Raptor brand held up pretty well overall.
  2. Flip-Up Rear Glass - An Essential Feature?

    And your point is? Do you honestly think they should go out and purchase a whole new vehicle because they mildly criticized a single feature? If that person's post offended you, then take it up with them. Or maybe go find something better to be upset about.
  3. Flip-Up Rear Glass - An Essential Feature?

    Nobody here is complaining lol, most are saying that the glass is nice to have but could be larger. I'm not going to buy a much larger and more expensive vehicle just because one minor feature isn't perfect. I don't understand the hyper-defensiveness of some people here. No vehicle is perfect...
  4. Flip-Up Rear Glass - An Essential Feature?

    As others have said, the opening is too small for groceries and most common items. I could definitely live without it. However, there are a few situations where it comes in very handy: Camping/tailgating. Instead of leaving the hatch wide open all day, I can just leave the glass open and have...
  5. Thoughts on Snow Tires?

    I did not like how the stock Michelins felt in snow on my Big Bend, but I've always had Blizzaks on my previous vehicles so I'm pretty biased. I'm planning to try the Michelin CrossClimates once the stock tires wear out, they seem to be a happy medium between regular all-seasons and dedicated...
  6. Unofficial MPG thread for the 1.5L

    Just averaged 19mpg on a 360 mile trip while towing a 5x10 enclosed trailer. Total weight approx. 2000lbs.
  7. Trailer hitch light plug in

    Looks like you have a combination 4-way/7-way harness, there aren't many good options to mount something that large. You would need to cut a large notch out of the bumper to make it sit any higher. Do you plan on towing any trailers with 7-way wiring? If not, maybe have them swap it out for...
  8. The Backseat Bivy looks very useful for spending the night in a BS.

    Yeah at my height I’m fine without covering the gap, but I can see how it would be nice for taller folks.
  9. The Backseat Bivy looks very useful for spending the night in a BS.

    I've slept in mine several times now, using a twin-size air mattress with the front seats folded forward. It's comfortable enough for me, and the slope towards the hatch isn't bothersome. I'm only 5'5" though, so YMMV.
  10. Considering Trading in my BS for the Maverick

    I've been considering it as well. The Maverick would fit my needs better, and I could get a fully loaded Lariat hybrid for the same sticker price as my BS Big Bend. My only concern would be potentially losing my 0% financing from Ford.
  11. Heading to the Smokies for a little bike riding.

    Yes, 2016 Street Triple 675. This pic is in the Catskill mountains in upstate NY, I was heading back from New York Safety Track. I'd love to take a trip down to Deal's Gap some day. Have fun and ride safe.
  12. Heading to the Smokies for a little bike riding.

    Very nice, MT-09? I just took my Street Triple out to a track day last weekend.
  13. Cargo area light

    Mine comes on with the rest of the interior lights when the switch by the sunglasses holder is set to on.
  14. Upgrade oem hitch

    The factory hitch has a 2" receiver even though it's labeled as Class II, so you shouldn't need any adapters for 2" accessories.
  15. Project O'Bronco

    They work fine in the rain for me, but my door handles are flat plastic, not painted like on the higher trims. I'm not sure if that makes any difference.
  16. Project O'Bronco

    Those are meant to be there, it's where you touch to lock the doors.
  17. California Full size spare

    DM sent.
  18. Auto start a little kick in the pants

    You can get around this by just hitting the engine stop button, it will automatically shift into park for you.
  19. 5x108 Bolt Pattern is a pain

    Where did you find those steelies? I've been looking for some to run snow tires. Edit: Nevermind, I found your other post in the Tires & Wheels section. Looks very nice!
  20. Strange Auto Stop/Start Behavior

    Mine does restart the engine if the wheel is turned. Might be worth bringing it up with your dealer.
