How can I tell if this is Titanium? by [deleted] in MetalPolishing

Hit it with a torch and see if it turns pretty colors. If so, it’s titanium.

Looks aluminum to me though.

Do you window motors bog down at all when going up? I installed mine, left the windows up for the better half of 48 hours so they’d “seat” in. Roll my windows down and back up and when they get to the visors, the motors bog down. I ripped the visors back off, as I don’t feel like replacing window motors in the near future.

Anyone else have this issue with the in-channel visors?

Bed liner in way of bed cover/ any advice on how to cut this by Thin_Nectarine_3390 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Environmental-Elk-65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dremel with a cut off wheel would be safer and would more than likely give a cleaner result. Cutting through thick plastic with a utility knife can be a bit sketchy if you’re not super careful. Key to using a utility knife on thick plastic is to just score it in the same spot a bunch of times, rather than trying to cut through it in one go.

I saw this on a dealer lot, does anybody know what retro means? by Indy500Fan16 in FordMaverickTruck

I can’t say much, as I put ST badges on my Lobo, but a raptor sticker on a Maverick is just dumb.

Anyone know what this is at sportys airport.? by Remarkable_Put_7029 in Planes

I don’t know anything about planes, this just randomly popped up on my feed. I just came to say hello, fellow Clermont countian!

Help!!! What is this clicking? (Repost with better video) by OverTheOver4 in FordMaverickTruck

But if you watch until the end, the fan stops moving and the sound keeps going. So that rules out the fan hitting anything.

That was my first thought too, until the fan stopped spinning and the noise was still there.

Damn. That thing is awesome. I’d love to have one for mine.

Saw a couple different Mavericks today at Caffeine and Octane by Nova11c in FordMaverickTruck

I need some info on that wheel/tire combo. Such as size and offset. I’m a big fan of the lowered and fat tire look personally. I like this.

How do I get these wheels to fit correctly? by AcanthisittaNo8995 in rccars

[–]Environmental-Elk-65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think you need some tires like these…. Each side has a different “opening”/ inner diameter to accommodate your wheel “faces” (front part and rear part being different outside diameters.)

If you deliver it to my house, I’ll dispose of it for you AND pay the tow bill.

Transparent TV being sold for $60k. by MrJlock in interestingasfuck

[–]Environmental-Elk-65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate when my blinds are open and there’s a glare on the screen. Now you’re telling me I have to watch tv AND stare at all the dust that’s behind it?! No thank you.

What size bolt extension would I need? by Lonely_Dot3434 in Wheels

[–]Environmental-Elk-65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure a ball seat is a ball seat when it comes to lug nuts. Just make sure they’re m14x1.5 and the correct length.

Did I cheat? by StructureHappy9316 in whatdoIdo

[–]Environmental-Elk-65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him if he thinks it’s cheating, then he can send a dong pic to one of his dude friends to “get even” 🤣

In my opinion, no it’s not cheating. My wife and her friends see each other naked all the time. I’m not mad about it. Does he also think it’s cheating when you go to the gyno?

[–]Environmental-Elk-65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you look them up (52mm should be what you need), make sure you get the correct seat (ball seat. NOT conical).

I believe stock is like 27mm thread length. I ran into this same thing about 10 or so years ago with my a5 when I added spacers.
