@@stevebelardes397 it seems like a lot of companies these days are no longer listing a phone number for customers. Were they able to help you out with your issue?

@@anthonym2277 I have a little extra room on the underside with my Road Armor bumper. I was having trouble reaching it from above but that makes sense to remove the coolant line to make it easier from above.

@@joshmassey4331 glad to help! I hope it goes smoothly for you.

@@NateDillard-o8n which performance timing set are you looking at?

@@gsxriderk7 it would make it a lot easier if you have the money for it.

@@jeaninerose3836 thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful

@@JulieB328 thanks for the kind comment!

@@celticcraps yes this design with only one crossbeam has caused issues with binding up while moving side to side. I have thought about adding a second one with trolly wheels to prevent it from binding up. Otherwise I have to grab it in the middle to move it without binding while under load.

@@jacobsupgrades I wondered. I have seen another that built with two on here and mounted the hoist to a board between them. You mentioned cut sheets. I'd really like to lift anywhere from just a hard top for the jeep to say 800lb or or so. Engine rebuilds, etc. How many would be best to span? Where can I find that for a Texas Home?

@ I found the unistrut cut sheets for loads and spacing on the Menards product page on their website, since that's where I was buying from. These are specifically for the unistrut and not the structure you're attaching it to. As a word of caution unless the structure you're attaching it to is designed to take 800lbs I would advise against it. As a rule of thumb if you have a second story above where you're attaching it you could carry a heavier load than say a roof structure. But I would advise against lifting an engine or anything heavy like that especially if using lag bolts. If you're really adamant about it I would hire a local structural engineer to evaluate your structure and draw up a plan of action.

@jacobsupgrades yea. I figured you might say that.. lol.. I'm betting it would be okay but I'm sure it's for the best to confirm.. wanna come to texas?? Lol

@ haha I'll let you know when I'm in the area next

@@Letizia4813 it won't cause harm to temporarily drive on it but I wouldn't go very far. When you do that your engaging the front hubs and your front axels and driveshaft will spin while driving. I replaced mine with new Dorman IWE's because I like the on the fly engagement. Driving with them engaged will affect your fuel economy. Here's another video of mine showing how to diagnose the complete system. It could be as simple as a cracked vacuum line. Ford 4WD Problems: Everything You Need to Know ua-cam.com/video/fa0vKrLtqbA/v-deo.html

​@jacobsupgrades I understand about unplugging causing the front hubs to turn but isn't that the same thing the IWE delete kit does or am I missing something?

@ yes it is the same as the delete kit, the front cvs and driveshaft will be engaged and spin while driving.

@@joecook yes it does come with a new O-ring for the thermostat side.

@@jacobsupgrades Thank you

@@CarbonGhost-ps1zw your welcome! Glad to help out.

@@skypresident3550 you have to physically re-gear the axel ratio first. The truck came with a 3.31 gear ratio and I had 4.11 Yukon gears installed to account for my 35" tires.

@@WAHDEEDOWthe2 have you tried vacuum testing each actuator to see if it holds vacuum for 5 minutes? You could have a cracked diaphragm at the hub actuator. I had a similar problem where it would only loose a little vacuum but it had trouble disengaging because it was cracked and causing a similar grind like you mentioned. With these trucks starting to get up there in age all of the seals and rubber is starting to deteriorate. A small crack in the vacuum lines can cause the same problem.

@jacobsupgrades I havent tried to hold the vacuum with a hand pump for more than 2 minutes. I will try to hold it for 5 minutes and see! Thanks again for this information! Also plan to test the vacuum lines.

@ glad to help! Good luck on testing.

@@monte99cm I was barely able to fit this size box on our 2019 21BHE I don't think anything bigger would fit on the tongue if our trailer. Take a bunch of measurements first.

@@patrickcarney3110 sounds like you need to replace the solenoid. Luckily that's an easy fix. When you turn it to 4WD you should have no vacuum at the solenoid to allow the hub actuators to engage.

@@njphil1279 what's wrong with them? Have you tried reaching out to customer service?

@@jacobsupgrades On the RTS line, it looks like they weld the 3 pieces together in 2 passes on the "tire side" of the barrel. There are big blemishes on the outer polished rim surfaces where the welds either started or finished, not sure if the welds overheated and distorted the rim face. I want to mount the wheels, without tires, tomorrow to check for concentricity and runout first. Hope that's ok. Pretty sure they will claim these defects are just cosmetic and within their standards. Unfortunately they are not within my standards for a $1000 wheel. EDIT-> Regardless, this is just poor quality and bad manufacturing process

Just measured runout and concentricity. Each run .060" max, most variation where the welds connect on the inner barrel. Prretty sure it good enough. My CCW monoblocks are .010" but that's a billet wheel and nobody makes them like that anymore. I'm just going to stop whining and send it

@ haha full send! What kind of car are you installing these on?

@@jacobsupgrades It's only a 2012 vette with a blower and bolt ons. Just like saying "send it: like the big boys

@@undeadly1103 glad to help

@@davidwatts1856 I agree it's a pain when these things fail. I've heard you can swap out the vacuum hubs for manual lockers but you'll lose the ease of engaging them on the fly.

@@kevinpeyton33 it may take some dialing in on the exact number. Tires pressures and wear can effect the exact size. Happy to help!

Is there anything else I need to do...I think I saw where someone sair you got to do a tranny relearn ?

@@kevinpeyton33 Bambi mode is a good option too, Bambi Mode: Why You Should Activate It with FORScan ua-cam.com/video/54fbKP7Ban8/v-deo.html

@@kevinpeyton33 any other things like adjusting how long the truck will run after a remote start or how many times to press unlock to unlock all doors are some other options.

Hmmm so now my tire pressure on dash isn't reading since changing the circumference of my tires in forscan????

@ that's unusual. You may need to reprogram your TPMS. Here's how you can do it without a programming tool. Fixing Tire Pressure Sensor Fault (TPMS) - Ford F150 ua-cam.com/video/gNdZTCV9BS0/v-deo.html

@@kevinpeyton33 I don't have a video for the backup camera but I do for tire size calibration here - How to Calibrate Speedometer with FORScan ua-cam.com/video/HGiTzidyb_k/v-deo.html

@@TurdFerguson217 thank you! The cover is rated to hold up to 400lbs evenly distributed and engineered with durable aluminum and ceramic finish. I don't know what temp it is rated for but they have engineered them to last and back it up with a 3 year warranty. Mines held up great in the snow and cold temps this winter. I brush the snow off the cover and edges if I plan to open and close it so it won't freeze shut after thawing. It held up great in the blizzard we just had in Kansas City.

@@jacobsupgradesthank you so much for your response!

@ no problem! Great questions

Good point. There is a little extra room for airflow around the grommet the cables pass through but I think I would need a second hole for it to vent

Thanks for the feedback I'll add that in next time

@@kylebachman4477 lol I'll speed it up next time. You can change the play speed and slow it down.

@@RMC2021 these are quality covers at a reasonable price. I don't know when the AL4 is planned to release but can't wait to see it. Full bed access is definitely desirable.

@@jimewelsh thanks for the feedback. That's a great idea to paint it to match your exterior that will turn out very nice!

@@ColdbrewPatch I don't think the lite version will allow you to change values but I could be wrong. You can use the free 2 month trial for the full license until they open up sales again.

@@pastorramirez5083 Gracias Mi Amigo!

@@southoftown thanks for the comment! I'm glad you found it helpful

@@southoftown haha yes!

@@vince8005 I bought it as a package deal the racks with the cover. The Retrax rails were pre-notched at the stake pockets to allow the T slot rails to mount. I'm sure you could cut the rails yourself to mount the ladder racks, or possibly by the notched rails. I don't have an install video for this one.

@@Thebarrioboy2009gma nice! It definitely helps with grip even in icy / snowy weather.

@@jacobsupgrades do you think this is something I should wait to get done when it gets warmer out cause in PA it's pretty cold out lol?

@ yes it's a good idea to paint metal above 60 degrees ideally in the 70 degree range for the best long term results. If you have a garage you can keep heated until it's completely dry that would be ideal but you'll have a hard time venting your space. If you do make sure you have a respirator on.

@jacobsupgrades okay if anything I'm gonna just wait till like may and do it just like how you showed it but outside due to I don't have a garage.

@@jchadburn2 try leaving the file in the download folder and finding it there.

@@kevinpeyton33 yes you should be able to use the 2 month free trial to calibrate it. Under bdycm, it's labeled rear camera calibration.

10-4 thanks I'll follow your steps and give it a shot thanks. Yeah I lost the grid lines if you will when I installed the new camera.

@@kevinpeyton33 recalibrating should help. I haven't done it myself but I've read of others having issues with the lines not turning with the wheel and needing Ford to calibrate it. I'm curious how smooth your experience is calibrating it.

I'll keep you posted I guess why I'm in there might as well update my tires so my speedo works accurately also ...I have 35's and my speedo is about 5 miles slower than what I'm really doing ie speedo says 70 I'm doing 75 for real

@ yes you might as well take care of the speedo too. Make sure you write the changes before you move on to the next line item change. I have a video on how to do the speedo calibration, How to Calibrate Speedometer with FORScan ua-cam.com/video/HGiTzidyb_k/v-deo.html

@@kevinpeyton33 the extended license is still available for the 2 month trial but you can't buy it currently. They're having issues with payment processing right now.

@@SoFLDawg unfortunately no I still don't have this figured out. I got 4 all new sensors, tried resetting and still having issues. I took it into Ford and they couldn't find any problems with the BCM but think if they're not Ford sensors it could be the issue. My friend's F350 has the same problem after resetting and programming multiple times. I think it's a widespread Ford problem unfortunately. If I figure out the fix I'll be sure to post it.

@@jacobsupgradesMan sorry to hear that. I was hoping to hear you got it figured out. I guess you do like me, just ignore it for now. I’m going to try resetting mine to see if I have any luck. Keep me posted if you have any luck!

@ good luck! I will

@@williamsmith9987 🤘🏻a toolbox is a good idea too. I was lucky I had the ammo can already and my jack happened to fit. The tall ones are hard to find. What vehicle are you mounting it in?

@@jasondoherty-s8i good question the unistrut hangers have a hole above where the track is where a bolt can be used to clamp the hanger tight around the strut and prevent it from sliding like that. Once I got the track where I wanted it I installed those bolts to prevent the track from sliding in the hangers. The hardware is provided with the hangers for clamping it down.

@@RobertLowery thanks for the input, that's a good idea. I do have the plastic terminal covers on them that came with the batteries but the cables attached are still exposed some.

@@bro8759 I do not but I know it's behind the dash on the cab side of the firewall in the middle of the dash. If you have factory AC you'll have a bunch of ductwork to work around or remove.

@@turtleturtle8507 take the front cover plate off at the front of the transmission and bump start it till the drain plug is on the bottom to drain out. I'll try and capture it on video next time.

@@ccausey5512 I've noticed that it sometimes it takes a few hundred yards for the hubs to disengage. If you're not going very fast and let off the gas it helps to disengage at lower speeds. If you plan to replace the lines yes you will need the lower sections of line. The best way to test the lines is with a vacuum pump to see if they hold vacuum pressure.

Thanks... The cold weather seems to have affected the timing of the 2wd. I ordered the lines.. figured couldn't hurt... Thanks again d​@@jacobsupgrades

@ yea the cold weather can wreck havoc on the 4WD. That's usually when I've seen problems with it too. You might want to pull the vacuum line off the solenoid and make sure it's engaging too. That could be your problem.

Vintage air offers several different options for the first generation Bronco.

@@robertclymer6948 great question! The Lithium batteries are powering the heating pads. That's why it's so important to have the thermostat outside of the insulated pocket so they have the chance to kick on before the batteries get too cold and shut down. I haven't had a chance to see how many days these will run before draining the batteries so it's a good idea to have a backup power source. My 800 watts of solar were able to get back to 14.0 volts by mid morning when the temps were below freezing. I always have my generator as backup power if needed but rarely ever use it unless we want to use the microwave or AC. That's awesome you plan to get into the Nomad lifestyle, it's a blast. What kind of rig are you looking at? I would highly recommend solar and a good power inverter for any Boondocking setup.
