I wanted to eventually replace my 20" wheels on my truck but needed to wear through them vs throw money out. I have a 2" level on the front and standard brake setup(no max tow package).
Got this setup on my 2021 Hybrid. Only adds 2lbs per corner(not turning more weight) and the tire dimensions...
Edit - update succeeded when I attemped it while my battery tender(4A $70 version) was connected. (SOC was 63% otherwise and would fail)
Overnight update always fail.

We had snow/freezing rain the last few days. I went out to my truck today and had water in a lot of places on the passenger side. Seat and headliner were soaked. I park on a 2 degree slope drive way, nose down. Never had this in the three years of owning this truck. This is very disappoining...
My 21 crew has a bad factory seal job with the back window of the cab. The dealer found water coming in from the bottom passenger edge of the window. The sealant used to install the window failed in one spot(guess not enough sealant). I found water soaked my back wall padding of the canopy so I...
I am pondering putting an NMO mount for a 3.5" antenna(Midland MSTX25) in the middle of the back of my roof. It's more out of sight from passerbys and is up high on my truck for GMRS use. Curious if anyone has done this and what your experience has been? I'm good wtih drilling through my roof...
FL-500S oil filter socket - spent some time designing this today... cheers!
Edit - designed a 14 rib version as well. I had two FL-500S filters needing two different sockets so I designed the 2nd one as well. Download at the link above.

Researching tires and wheels for my 21 hybrid. Wanting more sidewall and an inch gain in height.
Excellent write up on how weight distribution in a tire/rim setup will affect performance:

I installed these tow hooks on my 21 F150 XLT. Curious what the torque spec is for these grade 5, 1/2" nuts? I see anywhere from 40 to 80 ft lb out there.
Info on the hardware:

I went with a solid state relay(triggered from cargo area light - only pulls 10mA), add a fuse and PWM controller to adjust the light level to my liking. Demo and installation below. I was apprehensive to run my two LED strips off the small wire for the cargo area light since I was pulling...
I'm kinda shocked at how small this subwoofer is for an '18 SPEAKER B&O SYSTEM'. Figured it'd be more. Kind surprised as how small the wires are going into this thing. Not much power is moving over those wires. I am curious if there are any drop in replacements for this? Does the Lariat...
I installed LEDs for my running boards and I'm running them off a relay. That relay is triggered by the cargo light wire(white green wire in passenger rear wiring loom). The 4000K LED strips I installed pull just over two amps so I didn't want to power them soley off this small white/green wire...
Twice now in the year of owning my F150 super crew with pano roof, I've had water drain out of my roof console when making a turn.
- it only drains/empties once while making a right turn.
- I've tested that all four drain tubes work on the corners by dumping a few cups of water in each corner...
I'm pondering installing rails on my ARE Z2 canopy for some load bars. I'm also pondering a square patch of rhino lining between the rails on the roof so I can just set stuff directly on the topper surface. Anyone done this before...
Had this 21 Super Crew truck for a year and this is the first time this has happened. All windows closed up. Had heavy rain yesterday, first rain this fall. Drove this morning and made a left turn and about a quarter cup of water dripped out from this point.
What should I be checking out...
For a 2021 F150 Hybrid, I am looking at both the Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S and XLT in a 285 70 17 size. The XLT is 56lbs and the 4S is 45 lbs.
Can the 4S support towing a trailer?

Curious how much folks here have seen or gotten for selling their take-offs on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace?
I have (4) 20x8.5 wheels from my fx4 with the Hancook Dynapro AT2s I'm looking to sell to offset the purchase of new wheels/tires.
I have the F150 hybrid and a canopy on the back. Looking to put a few accessories back there like a 12V fan, LED lighting, 12V ports for phone chargers, etc. Curious what the best option is here for constant 12V power? What should I tap into?
Also, does the F150 hybrid engine start using the...
I'm guessing Ford engineers would have offset the plate mount if it would have been advantageous to the intercooler for the turbo but maybe not? Curious if there's any real gain to this plate mount relocator?

I have a rattle with my hybrid that occurs only when I start my truck's combustion engine. I press the button to turn it on and when I press down the gas to start up the engine, I will hear what sounds like the exhaust were the heat shield is loose next to it but it is difficult to even track...
