it is very popular for medium to high strength uses and has great toughness characteristics.

This alloy has excellent corrosion resistance to atmospheric conditions and good corrosion resistance to sea water.

Sounds good to me. :icon_thumby:

It would be hard to get everything to match but anodizing would be a cool finish. :icon_idea:

The hood? Thats...odd. Those dont usually rot lol.

But thats good, i thought in 30 or 31 years i mighta had to change my name to "Oxidized ol ranger".

Guess the biggest challenge will be gettin a 2.9 in that sucker.

They did it on the older ones too. My '02 F-150 has an aluminum hood.

Hmm, i wonder when they started that. I thought both my 97 and 98 expys were steel, maybe not.

97’s. They make aftermarket steel ones. Easily identified because no matter how new hood shocks won’t hold one up.

Oooh Military grade. That means it must be super special right? Let's take a look.



Ah, so it's just the same aluminum that is used in everything else.

Seems you do not recognize sarcasm well.

Both you two, cool it.

Friendly debate is one thing, if you have to resort to insults and name calling you are doing it wrong.

Thread has been edited to look halfway respectable.

Didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. :sad:

Saw the new Bronco in the Rampage movie. Before the flaming starts by the childish bunch, I know it may or may not be what the actual new Bronco will look like.
