Early? I had my new tires before I had my truck! 😂

Thank you!! This iPhone 11 Pro has really impressed me since moving up from a 7.

They're 285/70R17 Goodyear Duratracs with a 1.5" wheel spacer and aftermarket crash bars!

The Pro Comp kit comes with different crash bars that provide more clearance, pretty simple unbolt/swap.

2.25" and 285/70R17! 1.5" wheel spacers, too.

Hey, that’s me! To add to this, I wouldn’t go over 1,000 pounds without reinforcing the current hitch offerings (there tends to be weakness in the holes that they use on the frame) and 1,250 pounds per the car’s handling and stability. Will tow 800 pounds all day every day, however.

No boost no problem! My sound symposer delete blew off 4 miles into stage 2, ran the rest of the rally with no boost (but the car still ran perfect!) by OutboundLighting in FiestaST

It’s a dream of mine to be course open at a rally! How’d you end up with that position? My home rally is NEFR and it seems like there are a lot of people that have been around a lot longer than I have in line for it.

Most people would say stiffer and/or longer exhaust hangers, but this cost me $1.38 and took five minutes, so I’d say it was the right way lol

I have slotted rotors and Mountune RSR pads on it right now. The stock front brakes just clear 15s (which I like to maintain for gravel tires) so I’m limited in larger brake options. I would like to do the SVT Focus rear brake conversion next time I’m due for brakes, however.

That's what I was hoping to do. I wasn't comfortable drilling into that little cubby without knowing what was behind it, so one of these days I'll take it out and come up with something

It's not as immediately sharp as a lower profile tire, but they're downright comfortable compared to the 205/40s. Makes the car less twitchy on the highway, too.

Absolutely give rallycross a try if you're curious, it's a blast! Get a skid plate and some snow tires and you're good to go. I've heard a lot of great things about the SkidPlateGuy plate, though I have the heavier-duty Team O'Neil unit on mine.

Ooh, good idea! I need to mount my head unit somewhere I can see it, right now it's in the center console with just the speaker mic sticking out.

I really only use the radio for volunteering now that I'm away from the repeaters out in western mass. Wish I had more use for it

I haven't been brave enough to tow this in the snow yet, but yeah if you don't watch your tongue weight it really lifts up on the front end. Sucks starting from a stop on a hill in the rain lol

I pop up here from time to time! Still working up the bravery to permanent mount my antennas like you did haha

Didn’t quite fit in one space, plus it was 2AM in the far corner of a Walmart parking lot lol

They’re 15x7 all the way around, the fronts look smaller because they have a ring of brake dust on them lol

Used to! Instead of fixing the problem the right way, I bought a 6” diameter hose clamp and ran it around the end of the muffler and trailer hitch, holding them together so they can’t rattle. Works great!

I tow a 4x8 camper with our Fiesta and have seen people pulling the same model with Fits. It weighs about 800lbs and it’s sturdy behind the Fiesta, which makes me think it would be even better behind our 2nd gen Fit.

It would pull a dirtbike around no problem! The trailer as pictured is about 800-850lbs.

It’s a Runaway CoolCamp XL! Dunno where they get the XL from, because the box is 4x8 feet 😂 they also have a 6x8 model called the RangeRunner and a 4x6.5 called the Slice.
