For what blackvue charged I'd hope it has no issues with heat/reliability

I've run blackvue's in my last 4 cars .. 630/750/900 .. no issues with heat... from time to time SD card's get corrupted and you have to replace them .. but other than that they work flawlessly .. recently on my 900 i can't edit the 4k videos but that's probably a codec issue .. still plays on my phone no problems

Default Washed it

Washed it. Had been about 3 months. Still very happy with Ingot Silver. First vehicle with a light color. Never going back to dark... Don't have the time to care for it properly.

Silver has a lot of advantages for a daily driver. It's a metallic so it looks pretty good when it looks good, it's not overly hot in the sun, it hides little imperfections/swirls/light dirtiness pretty well, and it's not-white.

My last vehicle was silver because I bought it used and silver was on my begrudging acceptance list...I was coming from two black vehicles (and sorta had a white one), and the longer I owned the silver the more I appreciated how very-good (not jaw dropping no matter what, but, very good) it looked, and how easy it was to keep looking 'pretty good' even through rain, driving, construction areas, etc. It takes a lot to make it look bad.

Black or dark colors in general...ugh. Every little thing shows pretty nearly all the time, it's exhausting to try to keep it from looking bad. Black is so much work I'd even take...*breathes*...white before I'd have another black daily driver

Change the oil this morning. Fresh Mobil 1 and ford filter.

I hear everyone complaining how bad it is to change the oil in the 2.7L. IMO it is fairly easy. I never had any oil spills or messes from the oil plug.

Not much else I really want to do to the boy, but who knows!



What wheels, size and offset? Looks awesome!

Well it's not really to my truck but my bed extender. I have a 5.5ft bed and a 14ft kayak. The kayak sticks out 4ft past the extender so I added some running lights to it.

Ditto.
Tell me again why the 5.5' bed doesn't have front stake pocket access? I've seen posts where the bed rail cover is "gouged" out. I want a neater if not easier solution to accurately cut that hole.

I love silvers. Had five silver vehicles, still have a silver 2008 Explorer. Decided to go with other colors for a while. Always classy and seem to hide light dust.
