Was my first thought. Strut support works fine until you’re wrestling with some part, cussing it out, wrench slips, elbow whacks the ingenious pvc support and hood whacks you in the back of the head…. All by the time you get half the word “Fuu….” Out of your mouth!
IIRC, 2000 was the last year they were made in Sweden. Yes Ford was in the mix for a while.
I had a good ford one time,,,, But I never drove it,, l just sat in a chair n looked at it,,,, Then I got new glasses
I have a friend who was working on a car with hood struts, hood was open and he had to get down on the ground for something he reached up on the core support with his right hand to pull himself back up and the hood slammed shut shattering his wrist into a million pieces. 4 years later it's held together with plates and screws and he has about 50% motion in it. He's no longer a mechanic.
I couldn't agree more. For many years my only truck was a 92' Dakota, and I had a little utility trailer. When the farm was small it was okish and I liked the truck well enough, but as the farm got bigger it just got impossible. I bought a tractor and needed a flat bed trailer to haul it on and had nothing to tow it with. I had nothing to haul a ton of feed in ect. Hence the square. C20 long bed. When I bought the Dakota in 02' it was appropriate for my life at the time, but not for my current life, the C20 is much better.
Thats why i only buy long beds! I want my truck for truck stuff!!
That brick column is actually part of the parking garage adjacent to the Costco. Guy was getting a bunch of patio furniture.
Yeah remember that commercial where they dropped the toolbox in the bed? I could prolly drop my plastic toolbox in a tin can sedan and it'd dent the bed.....
