Or you could put a little hinge on the top so it can flip up and do away with the screws all together.

We always bring ours to the dealer. Years and years ago I was never happy with the Jiffy Lube places, they seemed to do a bad job and it wasn't any quicker when you waited for other people. Make sure you check out both the ford site and your dealer site to get coupons. I don't think I have...

Why not set your liftgate to the lowest point you will need and leave it there? For me, my garage opening is lower than any parking garage I have encountered so I just leave it set there and know I'm always good. If there is a parking garage at work or a popular shopping center with a lower one...

Would the "fake chains" that I have seen do the trick? I'm talking about the type that are more like large aircraft cable that you cinch around the tire? This would probably work since there is no slack in the cable, would hopefully satisfy them, and would give you a little more traction if you...

To get the strength to hold the flashlight you can use 3m dual lock. It is like the two "male" parts of velcro that interlock. If anyone has a toll tag/smarttag/easypass it is the same stuff used to put them on the windsheild. Your bigger problem is getting anything to stick to the plastic in...

Sorry, I don't have a photo of mine. I will see if I have enough time to play around in the near future and mount it on top for a photo. Doesn't take too much time, I have a pulley system in the top of my garage that I use to put it on/off and store it near the ceiling.

See the sale I just posted in the roof rack thread. I had a thule once, but jumped to Yakima ski racks and then a Yakima lo pro 15 box and I love it. It is sturdy, secure and has a light. How much security are you looking for though? I have no problems leaving skis and other things in it...

Thought I would dig up this thread and let everyone know that REI is having their clearance sale on right now. They have a pretty good assortment of Yakima and Thule boxes on sale for those getting ready for holiday travel/ski season/etc. Make sure you ship to an REI store to get free...

So you are looking for a temporary solution, not permanent? I would just go and get some of those cheap round lights they advertise for closests that run off of batteries and put suction cups on them and stick them to the inside of the back window. For permanent, yes, LED lights mounted...

drober30: He is talking about suitcase connectors, not technically splicing. w1kedz: drober30's solution is a better option for the following reasons... - No technical damage to original wires that can introduce a point of failure - If you want to remove it, you don't have connectors left...

We have two graco comfortsports in the center 60 for our kids so we can get the 40 down to climb into the 3rd row. You really have to work to get them together tight and into the seats tight and you have to "push" or "flex" the side of the graco car seat closest to the 40 when folding so the...

In the past I always told them I had a mercury mountaineer, I was wondering what I would tell them next time... Thanks for the idea on the Ford Flex! :) You could probably get away with telling them it is an Edge as well.

I haven't picked up my warranty yet (still waiting to sell the 2007 explorer before I spend more money on the new one). I tried to get my dealer (which is a good one and doesn't try to be trickey) to match the Zeigler price and they couldn't even touch it. My dealer was pretty surprised at...

Koons Sterling Ford in VA said that they had it yesterday (didn't get a chance to post here). My father already has an appointment to get his updated. I think I'm going to hold off on mine until the oil change comes around. It won't be that much longer before the first oil change and it...

I think their marketing is great! Of course, I might be biased that they GAVE me one :) They had quite a viral marketing campaign on facebook, it was all over American Idol (not that I saw it), they had it on CNBC, and they had the debut on the Today show with Mike Rowe and a man-made mountain...

The width really comes into play in the back seat when you have two car seats next to each other and someone is going to sit in the third seat in the second row. They get in, are bunched against the car seat, brace for closing the door, and then are very surprised at how much room they have and...

I'm not totally clear where you are storing these. Are you raising the third row into the seating position and then putting them under the seat and folding down again?

My dealer told me the slot would also charge the key fob. I assume it will charge it through induction like an electric toothbrush.

Was waiting to hear how it is working for you...and of course pics!

I don't worry about it. If they think their is something good inside, they will just bust the window. The stuff in back may not even be why they bust the window, it may just be the chance you have a GPS in the console or sunglasses, ipods, iphones, might want the airbag, the HID headlights, the...

Just found out my Sweepstakes Explorer is at the dealer FINALLY!! :thumbsup::):D:p::cool: I'm going to stop by on the way home to oogle it a bit :bounce:, but don't think I will have to schedule to pick it up until this weekend.:burnout: Another plus, the Sync guy happens to be there...

She was probably talking about sync services. That is the voice assistance feature (like onstar for GM, or bing411, goog411, etc it uses your phone to make a call and then you ask for the information you want). I think they come with 3 years for free. Nice idea, but I think I prefer the sirus...

Expeditions are the same way, the engines are designed to use some oil. A lot of times you will see a little puff of oil smoke when you start it up if the truck has been sitting for a couple of days, that is where most of your loss is. They would rather sacrifice the oil than the engine.

you should be able to combine your military $500 with all the offers mentioned above. As said negotiate, don't talk rebates with the dealer, it's not thier money or cost for those. Negotiate the sale price of the truck as if there are no rebates, then when you have it in writing, break out...

I think it would be fine. Do the normal stuff: - Don't run through salt water, puddles, etc - Air down tires - Watch the tide coming in so your not trapped or worse I plan on taking mine on the beach when I get it. Might have to take it easier on the 20 inch wheels, but should be ok I...

Grrrr....So my sales guy sent me an email that he had a truck with 8 explorers coming in tonight and was pretty convinced that mine must be one of them (as was I based on tracking). He got the list of VINS at 5pm that would be on the truck and found out mine wasn't one of them :( There is a...

Here is what the manual says, I have never done it, I'm sure you are familar with most of these steps (never though about the air recirculate thing)...

So where are the pics! :bounce:

Nice!

hehe...he is probably going to have a pretty good month with the two of ours coming in. Wonder if he has more sold he is waiting on.

Wow, so yours is on the lot? I might need to shoot him an email :) He might not know about the sync update version. I'll be interested to hear if you get the latest. Edit: Just after writing this I looked at my email and had one from him saying "The long wait for one of my customers is...

I haven't heard anything about mine either. Maybe next week is best anyway. I have plans this weekend and would have to fit in a pick up of the truck plus I don't want them to rush the prep of the truck, DVD players, etc. I'm going to make sure they upgrade the sync to 2.8. My father has been...

I haven't kept up with the thread so maybe it was already mentioned, but in one of the holes mentioned above, could you inject this into the roof pannel?

Ok, will do. I don't have my truck yet so I was just going off the mention of screws above

Are you guys leaving the screws out when your not towing and the cover is on or are you replacing them each time...seems like it would be nicer to just pull the cover off and not have to pull the screws. Maybe they are just for shipping?

Take it to carmax and get an offer from them. If it is good, then take that back to the dealer and use it for neg or just take the carmax offer. If it is bad, your no worse off. I have heard showing interest in other vehicles at carmax and remaining "on the fence" about trading or selling at...

Might be that you have to purchase it seperately, but it is just a connector, shouldn't need to be wired at all. Generally trailers are left with a connector wired onto them already. You just need to have the connector that joins the truck wiring with the trailer wiring. You can connect to...

No way should the dealer charge you. It is all ready to go and wired, you just need to plug the pin connector into the socket. Maybe someone can chime in here, but they are usually hidden with the jack. Maybe with the tire mobility kit under the driver's seat. Worse case you go to advance...
