  2. Making "Sport" mode more permanent

    I'm surprised that the people who make the little CAN bus device to turn auto-start-stop off didn't include putting the vehicle back into whatever mode it was last in, such as Sport or Eco. Now that might have been worth the $100 to me if it did both.
  3. What Do You Carry Off-Road

    Recovery boards are the only carry that is "extra" for off-roading. My current camping gear list is already a bit excessive.
  4. Bug/rock deflector?

    It definitely shakes the hood more with than without. Which wasn't zero in the first place. You get used to it.

  7. Bull Gap Hill Climb - Michigan

    Congrats. I got to the top and kind of freaked out because my momentum was slowing down and thought I'd get stuck once I leveled off. Being there solo did not help my confidence.
  8. Is Sport the best snow mode?

    All I can say is that at Off-Rodeo we used Sport mode almost exclusively for all challenges. With selective use of the 4x4, rear-diff, traction control, turned on and off, etc.
  9. Beginner’s Guide to Light Off-roading?

    Based on what you plan, I'd say you don't need anything. Maybe a traction board just in case. Just go slow, you'll be fine.

    One can hope...

  13. Oil change the works at Ford dealership

    When I took mine in for it's first oil change, the tech. used a hammer and was pounding on the skid plate when they put it back on. I scratched my head and wondered about that, but figured they knew what they were doing. I went in yesterday for my Sport's second oil change and they couldn't get...
  14. Rear window

    He's saying that after a person has entered his/her 5 digit code, they can add an additional 5/6 to open the rear window, or a 2/3 to unlock all of the doors. And he's suggesting that sometimes people are accidentally pressing the 5/6 to unlock the rear glass.
  15. Wheel torque spec fps

    No discernable noise from mine, if that helps at all.

  19. Newbie about to try out 4X4… maybe

    As others have said, 4x4 is great for getting you moving. It won't help you stop on ice.
  20. Illuminated USB Media Port DIY Install

    If anyone is interested, this thing is down to around $85 now. After my last attempt to plug in my usb-c cable in the dark, this is getting very tempting.
