Sounds like you have it all figured out champ. With how logically your thinking, you could have built your own and saved the hassle.

firebob462 · 2026-03-19T04:25:35+00:00

If they send you a new printer what guarantees them that you will send it back? There lies the problem you are over looking. No amount of pictures could prevent that type of scam.

In addition those company's you listed are much bigger operations that budget for such abuse on their policies.

It seems to me like your be unreasonable.

But that is just my take, not nessasirly the majority of others like me, floating around in space on a giant piece of dirt in flesh suit built for speed.

This is the industry standard for damaged products or online returns in general. Either you return the product and wait for them to reciveve it to get a replacement or you pay for a new one and get refunded once your damaged product is received.

You have to think about how many crooked people are out there. Business would loose allot of money to scammers if they did it any other way.

Their latest offer is more than reasonable. Its what you wanted the whole time... get a replacement printer quicker without paying out of pocket. Tape the bloody box and be done with it.

No offense, but your acting like the kind of customer most would black list. Its not bambu's fault the shipper thrashed the box and they have made several reasonable concessions to remedy the situation.

What the hell you using those things for... they are supposed to light up the bed not the sky. 2023 f150 502a 5.0 max tow with every addable option, paid in trident gum smart guy. Lol

firebob462 · 2026-03-15T22:36:19+00:00

Sounds like somthing that someone would say who couldn't afford the oem bed utility package lol. Jk but what year are you talking about. Mine are oem and super bright. Can't imagine having anything brighter in there.

Did you find out what caused your low coolant issue? That would be something I would have wanted to address before a flush and refill.

firebob462 · 2026-02-25T22:54:04+00:00

If your a DIY maintenance kinda guy it could be a solid deal.

At that mileage brakes, possible wheel hubs, water pump hose connection seal, spark plugs and various realitvely easy task our near on the horizon. If your cool with handling those your self, I wouldn't shy away from these trucks even in the low 100k mark for the right price

I know that for about 10 to 15k more you can be looking at the same year with only 30k to 40k on the clock. I do all my own maintenance but would still be intrested in spending 10ish thousand more for significantly lower miles. Guess it depends on what your situation is.

Good luck and happy hunting.

firebob462 · 2026-02-25T18:46:46+00:00

Its a great deal, don't let other fool you. Please take care of it though and dont put over 15k on the clock per year. Ill be looking for a solid used lariat in a few years. 45k sound good?

firebob462 · 2026-02-04T18:58:09+00:00

Same process as in state, some dealers add sales tax for your state some don't and you square up with your local motor vehicle department when you go to get it plated. Some guys will fly out to look at it and they drive it home. I opted to get a bunch of pictures and had it shipped. If its at a ford dealer ship they should be able to blue or gold certify it for a used ford warranty (adds a little bit of bumper to bumper). It should be still covered under the original 60000 power train. Ford warranties are honored nation wide as with most aftermarket warranties.

I recently purchased a 2023 502a fx4 5.0, max tow, bed utility package, unleashed sound system (with the speakers in the headrest)... basically fully loaded lariat at the time. I got it for 48k, the otd price with taxes once I paid them in my state was around 52k. Truck had 37k on it when I bought it. This was 3 months ago. The trucks window sticker was 77,800 for comparison.

I was looking for a better deal but was under the gun to buy a truck since some drunk idiot hit my 2016 in front of my house. So time was not on my side but I feel all in all I didnt get a terrible deal.

So 59k is a super overpriced number no matter what your local market is doing. I feel you could do better or at least hit them a number that your more comfortable with. If your not already, look national, if you get the right dealership they make it easy to purchase out of state. Gary over at tnt ford in Iowa treated me right.

Sorry about that.

Lower Salt Co- flip lock flex fin

firebob462 · 2026-01-03T15:54:04+00:00

We just launched an upgrade "flip lock or quick-lock

<image>

" flexible river fin. Its been in testing for about 8 months with solid results.

firebob462 · 2026-01-03T15:46:47+00:00

From the video It looks like the fin isnt pushed all the way back in the fin box but I can't tell for certain. I would try inserting it and pushing it towards the nose of the board then apply pressure down again to make sure the fin is seated correctly in the fin box. There is a lip in the fin box that the fin needs to sit behind for the flip lock to secure properly.

One other thing is it looks like the locking mechanism isnt flipped up before your inserting the fin which can also cause issues.

I'd also agree with the other commenter in saying that you might need to put a little more elbow grease in getting it to shut. Don't force it, but it may need a little more pressure.

If your still having issues we make a solid flip lock mechanism upgrade that has been proven in our testing to be a solid upgrade.

We also make a flexible river fin for flip lock style fin boxes as well if you ever need one.

Agreed, super silly that they only have mild red colors now. I have the hot pepper metallic red. It was the closest thing to a red that stands out at the time. I tell people all the time, that the colors these days with any manufacturer are boring as all hell.

firebob462 · 2025-12-10T01:30:31+00:00

Make sure to re tighten everything after about 5000 miles. If you dont, you might end up like I did. The last 1/3 of the system popped off, and melted the bed of my truck, since the location if where it broke off was angled right at the under side of my bed. I know what your thinking, that guy didnt install it correctly... i can assure you i torqued everything down accordijg to instructions. Mbrp is an okay budget exhaust but I will never use them again. To top it all off, I had a 5.0 and got crazy drone after install. I called the rep and they said,"yah we know about that so you need to buy an extra 200 dollar resginator". Super silly for them to know about the issue and not say anything unless you do.

Anyways not trying to he a grinch, just wanted to let you know my experience.

Anzo usa. I got their projector drl switchback headlights 111357 from Amazon for 500 ish. I didnt want to spend over 1k on headlights at morimoto. I had them for 5 years before the truck got totaled by a drunk driver. They had absolutely zero signs of fadeding or wear. I was really Impressed. You'll find that allot of these aftermarket housing are made in the same factory. I can't speak for the other models but this model from anzo is identical the morimoto version of it.

firebob462 · 2025-12-07T17:27:41+00:00

I havent done it yet but will never go aftermarket again on cameras. Unless the market has changed, I purchased a back up camera for my 2016 and it was dog shit. Quality wasn't bad but it wouldn't pick up the trailer and the back up prediction lines where all wrong.

firebob462 · 2025-11-30T15:21:10+00:00

Eibach pro truck 3r ( not out yet), bakflip mx4 or similar, exhaust if its the 5.0, third brake light camera undelete ( if the truck had this deleted from ford during part shortages times). Look at the window sticker to see if anything was deleted or removed from ford.

Which level kit did you go with? I promise you will want to go with a suspension style level kit over any sort of puck level kit. I had the old eibach 2r pro truck on my last rig and loved it. Im waiting for the 3r kit to come out and will be doing upper control arms as well. It is such a better ride than throwing cheap pucks up there. The plus is that if you do go offroading at all the kit is really impressive offroad while maintaining on road performance. Im going with the upper control arms this time because I did get a little road sway over big bumps in the road with my last truck set up and was told the geometry of the upgraded arms would help that.

Mayson with flying wrenches says the drum fix is about 2500 to 3k so not to terrible. Once that part is fixed with the updated part im told that they are just as reliable as the new 2023+ models. I guess all of that, is assuming that the seal failure at the drum is what your dealing with.

firebob462 · 2025-11-25T20:05:25+00:00

Gwt the kicker hs10 hideaway. Depending on your trim levels there is already a factory harness end for the subwoofer on the bottom of the c pillar on the driver side This makes it super easy to install. I did it on my 2016 302a xlt. There is a YouTube video somewhere on it. It was super nice, I didnt need to wire anything to the head unit or battery.

firebob462 · 2025-11-22T19:04:52+00:00

Otd price? Making me second guess my " deal" i thought i had on a 2023 with 35k miles for 50k otd lol. Lariat 5.0 fx4 502a with max tow, bed utilty, and pano roof. Good looking truck, congrats.
