the battery is rated at about 650 cca IIRC... assuming that the alternator gives you 150 amps that is a total of 800... not sure why you do not think this system will support that winch...

actually it is not... if you want to use a switch run it to a relay that can withstand the correct draw and run that to the battery.

The flip side of this is that you get a discount on your BMW if you pick it up in Germany... You get to drive it for a week then they ship it stateside, and you get to bypass some import tariffs as the car is "used".

Congrats!

Like I said, I do not believe factory delivery is an option... When I said 500 plus invoice I meant I went to the dealership and said "what is invoice" then "ok I will pay 500 more than that", probably not as good as ENCS, but still a great deal. I have not been to Korea, but in Europe and in...

Ford does not have a factory option IIRC. Also factory pickup generally costs more not less (see corvette). I would watch ENCS, good guys doing their best, but they are generally British, have never lived in the US and know absolutely about the US car industry beyond what their computer screen...

IIRC there may be a couple of misconceptions in this (I may be wrong)... Firstly, Ford CANNOT contact your truck at any time; you have to have your phone in the truck with bluetooth active for any communication to occur. The truck has no transmitter built into it and pushing an update without a...

What show? That is an australian magazine...

One Chinook and a sling...

Or a winch, two spare raptors and a snatch block.

A hi lift, base plate, and two sand ladders would have made that recovery WAY easier.

You only need one shakle... loop the tow rope through itself for one end.... the less hardware you use the safer it is.

nice... one more thing I did not know I needed.

That might be a slight problem as IIRC the tires have a slightly different OD and are slightly different stiffness. Would be particularly noticable if both rear wheels were to hit the same object at speed as they would attempt to act slightly differently. I am basing this mostly on my...
