Water Pump Replacement

Hi all, I believe the water pump failed again on my 2021 Outer Banks at 75k miles. It failed once before around 50k. The car is out of warranty, and my local dealer mentioned an after warranty assistance program to try and get ford to cover part (or all?) of the repair given that this will be the third water pump and obviously shouldn’t be happening let alone on a year and a half old part. I am aware that these 3cyls are notorious for water pump failures, I was told on the first repair…

WTB Tow Hooks

Just picked up a 23 Badlands. Previous owner must have removed the tow hooks as it doesn’t have them. I’d like to add some back if anyone has a set laying around they removed and are not going to use. If you have a set you would like to sell, let me know. Thanks.

Car Top Carrier with Side Rails only

I don’t normally need a car top carrier but will need one for a trip to the beach in August. I would put blankets and beach towels and crabbing cages in it – not super heavy stuff – but I only have the side rails. Any suggestions or advice on whether or not this can be done and how/what product to purchase? Would very much appreciate it.

DASH CAM

DASH CAM
I finally got a dash cam mounted to the Rubigrid mount.

Took John’s suggestion on the dash cam and usb-c cable.

Bought the Vantrue E1 pro 4k. Liked the size, web support and good reviews.

Now the learning curve on setting up the features.
