Need some chrome naked ladies.
Don't know how I didn't see this Nick - my apologies. Back has me quarantined anyway but I'd be happy to help over the phone if that matters. Just let me know what you're up to.
In the meantime, I'm collecting parts for my next visit under the shoebox.

Looks like a quality part.
nice looking piece!
i just was so confused with my hardtop (looking for a high pitched squeak) and been wondering why i can't get the t30 to fit those smaller bolts...turns out they are locating pins i guess haha.
the dealer drove mine around topless a lot and slapped all this shit on just good enough to drive around town...found 3 latches not closed so far, all doors were making that horrendous crunch noise and needed tightened also. scary these are the people i've gotta let install the tune

I've already got my can out, just gotta find a driver while I squirrel around the back lol. It's somewhere rear passenger, and I knew top was not quite right, so that's where I started. Sounds metallic though, and only on pretty rough jolts. I'll find it
Drove to south east Pennsylvania and picked up a set of fresh 2024 Bronco Raptor beadlock capable wheels/tires. Had to drive there with no spare in order to fit three inside, one on the spare carrier, and one on a POS Harbor Freight hitch basket which was strapped to the spare.
And of course I got a nail (if you could call it that, that mini-hammer looking son of a bitch) in one of the tires along the way. Thank God for thick tire blocks.
Anyway, I paid $2500 for the set of 5. Not bad given the tires are about $500 each when you add in tax/shipping, TPMS sensors at ~$50 each, and wheels are about $850 each.
I'll let some air out and store them in a cool, dark place until duty calls.

I know a bunch of people hate on BFG KO2's...but I've ran multiple sets with zero complaints. (Every nail I got in a 10ply held air perfectly until pulled)
I'm a little surprised you were able to fit 3 inside!
Are you going to keep a summer set pristine & swap on the other for winter? But those guys must not be fun to handle... (125lbs each...?)
Speaking of winter maintenance...Do you treat your vehicles? (Krown/Fluid Film/ Wool Wax?) I HATE the mess it makes...but I can't stand rust either...
Will you actually feel a power improvement with larger intercooler? Do Braptors suffer from heat soak?

So Ford does this shit in OASIS once you load one of Ford Performance's tunes. I bought the FP tune because it maintains a large portion of your warranty. So to see that they do this kind of pisses me off. It pretty much sets the tone for rejection before any potential warranty claim is even considered. It only populated recently with respect to my Bronco/VIN.
Cobb stuff is no joke.
This need to be more common knowledge to people considering the FP tunes. I mean one of the big draws for a lot of people is keeping some warranty.
Get your panties out of a wad haha
They throw that on there primarily so if there is an module update recall, TSB, etc..that the service department sees that this vehicle has an FP tune on it and to use a seperate file to update it.
No sweat, I promise. This isn't an attempt to void anyone's warranty.
When I see WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! in red followed by "FP parts installed" it definitely constitutes panty wadding. It could have just said "FP calibration installed, do not overwrite." Regardless, the tune has been great. Kudos to whoever did the calibration.
even then it's questionable if they're anything like "professional" drivers
