Put the top back on for now... The Mrs.' vehicle is going into the shop and we need two all-weather vehicles.
Tried the tool-less retaining fasteners for the top. Without the dogpoint they were more difficult to get threaded to the nut. Maybe after a few times I'll find a better process...
Ill throw another variable out there for consideration. Every leak I have experienced in the last handful of years has been on a vehicle with functional TPMS sensors. I was notified well in advance of a total undrivable failure and could take appropriate action. In fact, I've had exactly...
I did exactly the same thing... Camera and five tire rotation.
That's what's great about forums like this - lots of varying opinions. I tend to favor the look of them with the spare! To each their own... My opinion is really only valuable to me. 😁
I really dig these that are closer in proportion to full scale vehicles. I think if I ever got into this I would also try to replicate the scaled vehicle weight, too... Or maybe they already do this??

Second this. Stock antenna is tested and works to OEM specs and requirements. Aftermarket units are usually for aesthetic aspects and rarely perform as good as the OEM antenna.
Maybe a cracked injector... Usually a pfi injector either works or it doesn't. Or it is semi/partially clogged. Overfuelling would generally be a command issue from the ECU.
Also rules out the ground issue and any parasitic draw from the aftermarket winch and lights.
Thinking through the basics - spark, air fuel. Since it finally does start and run I would rule out airflow from a macro perspective. If you are smelling fuel there is probably not a fuel...
Not quite all, but definitely dominated by the Chinese:

Russia is in the mix too to a lesser degree. At one point they owned the formerly Ford owned Rouge Steel but I think that has changed hands again...
I realize this is an old thread, but I read thru it since there is a new and possibly similar issue occurring. I would be inclined to look at the rear tires. Age, wear, damage, etc. If there is one that is suspect and it's loaded with a trailer it may create traction issues. If I...
