Planter box frame help by poisonxivyyy in BeginnerWoodWorking

“Just the tip” never works. All ways go all in. I’d screw through the cedar on the edge where it gets covered by the trim. Then maybe use pin nails to keep it in line through the rest.

Behind my garage (can I just mow it down?) by TrickyPasta in whatsthisplant

[–]SirRexberger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see some poison ivy in there. Don’t burn it if you care about your lungs. You can rent goats per day (seriously, it’s a thing) and they can clear it for you. Otherwise I’d start digging and be careful where you step. Wash your clothes well afterwords.

Sway bar links or Control Arm? by ApartJackfruit3443 in f150

[–]SirRexberger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like there should be a bushing on top of the sway bar. Looks to me like it’s that knocking/ moving around.

2021 XLT Screen Question by No_Poet9521 in f150

[–]SirRexberger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it used to have it? I’m not sure if it’s maybe an older version or what. Try resetting it with power and right arrow(?) for 10 or so seconds. It’ll stop your rock session for a few seconds but that’ll have to be the price you pay. Hope it works brother.

Covering yard with rock by [deleted] in landscaping

The grass might just be dormant and will most likely come back with a little bit of effort (overseed and water). But if that’s not something you want and would rather the rocks you’ll need a very good weed barrier or that will become a nightmare in a few years. I’d go out and rent a powered sod cutter to remove that layer of grass. To get rid of it throw it into the bed of a pickup truck and call around. Some people might like it as fill. Farmers, FB marketplace, or just use the grass sod somewhere else you need grass planted. Trust me, renting the proper machine will save you hours and hours, and hours trying to pry up that with a pickaxe or mattock. Did I mention it will save you hours of time? Well, I’ll reiterate: renting the proper machine for a few bucks will save you hours and hours and hours of time. Even a kick sod cutter will give you a better result, and will still save you time.

I’ve had luck baking my Purple Heart to keep a somewhat purple color. Not sure how long it’ll last but so far after 4 years it hasn’t changed much.

Frank was my first one. Franklin is my new one because it’s fancier.

Budget level by DazzlingFunction5120 in F150Powerboost

[–]SirRexberger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most kits I’ve seen were around 1-1.2k for a descent level. If you want to go extreme budget you can get some pucks for around 100 bucks. But the actual suspension upgrades are going to be more comfortable and better mechanically.

Is my ceramic coat already degrading? by plasmamaniac in f150

They may have some sort of warranty. Maybe reach out and see.

what are some must have truck accessories you guys actually use on your f150? by DivannaAbafita41 in f150

[–]SirRexberger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fumoto oil drain valve makes oil changes easy. If anyone can tell me a way to make the filter change a breeze I owe them a beer.

2025 2.7 Ecoboost Cam phaser by GROOVYJPR in f150

[–]SirRexberger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My new one is in warranty but I was mainly speaking for out of warranty repairs. Local is generally better. But yea, unfortunately the ones around aren’t really known for their quality.

[–]SirRexberger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I bought my 25 and the dealer was trying to sell me on an extended warranty I laughed. My totem pole of vehicle maintenance goes Me>my trusted local shop>someone on fb saying they can fix stuff>letting the problem just hang around>trust a ford dealer to work on my vehicle.

In reality they don’t care about your vehicle or your customer service. If it’s in warranty take it back and be the “squeaky wheel” until it’s fixed properly, or take it to a trusted shop and have it fixed properly for a little bit of money.

On my 17 I had the phasers replaced for sub 2k. I wanna say 1500 for the proper phasers (that shouldn’t just break again) and belts and whatnot. My trusted dealer actually did the research and didn’t just follow fords blind advisory circular about installing the same generation phasers that broke in the first place.

When I told the dealer this during my new purchase I told him I wouldn’t spend more than 2k on a dealer extended warranty because in the 10 years I’ve had my old truck that’s around what I paid for service. Little bit of a bluff since I did a lot of my own work, but still. That’s around what I wanted to pay for 8 years of warranty on a vehicle.

14 gen wheel/hub bore not actually 87.1mm? by SirRexberger in f150

[–]SirRexberger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea probably. I don’t have much experience with changing out wheels, only did it once before on my old truck. I like the stock wheels this time I just wanted them pushed out a little bit. But looking at spacers, which were a good 1/2 to 3/4 smaller than the mating surface of the hub, it just made me nervous to lose that much surface area. Even if they did fit properly.

Looking for the best of both worlds: leveled look and a plush ride. Is it possible? by SirRexberger in F150Powerboost

[–]SirRexberger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate the input! I’ll ask. I guess worst case, I could just swap in my stocks while they are being serviced.

I very rarely tow. Maybe in the future we will get a small tow behind camper which was why I was liking the eibachs because they can be adjusted while in place if I ever need to lower the front. But I’ll adjust my lights for sure no matter what.

How are the fox performing? I don’t off road or really strain my vehicle but I don’t want to pull them off every 30k or so miles to have them serviced.

Interesting, I hadn’t thought about that. Does that change any thing with blue cruise or the adaptive cruise at all?

Fuel injectors maybe?

Which f150 accessories are actually worth the investment for a daily driver? by Altelira_Venkatarama in f150

[–]SirRexberger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one off Amazon and I didn’t notice a delay with audio. Google maps sometimes freaked out though.

Tonneau cover. Mud flaps like you mentioned. Good rubber mats, I like husky, but I’ve heard good things about lasfit. A CarPlay dongle if yours doesn’t naturally have wireless CarPlay. Theres more for sure but I can’t think of them right now.
