I bought a 2019 charger used to be a undercover police car my neighbors actually came over because it’s my daily and asked if I joined the state police 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@Ben.N I gave 15k for mine and yes it’s awd and a V8 had 88k miles on it when I got it it’s now at 107k I’m about to put a supercharger on it and a tune after the motor is gone through it’s got a ton of idle time on it
@@Lane-jq3ed 😂. I also always think that any charger I see might be an undercover unit. That’s what the state police in my state drive for the most part.
$2000.00 is a great deal, I’m still driving a 2011 CVPI that was a supervisor car no cage 67,000 miles low idle hrs that I bought 4yrs ago for $8,000 the car will out live me for sure. 👍
I had a 2011 cvpi..bought it in 2013 with ~50k miles and ~4xx idle hours.. no cage or anything was a chief's car. I had it for 6 years and put about 20k miles on it..biggest piece of junk I've ever owned. For over 1 solid year that I owned it I didn't even drive it anywhere. Luckily the whole time I had it, I had access to another vehicle to drive. I only kept the cvpi to build my credit because this was shortly after filing BK.
@wantsanewvehicle Maybe they messed with the odometer or something man, the crown victoria is usually extremely reliable. i have a 2011 CVPI with over 200k miles on it and no problems at all
Perfect first vehicle for Nick. Cheap, safe and everyone will drive carefully around him. I bought a retired Taurus police car for my son’s first car. He loved that car, totaled it and I bought another one.
I recommend changing the fluid in the rear differential. The rear of that vehicle has been under water. If the front has the same rust issues, then the entire vehicle was flooded. That means changing front Diff and Transmission fluids too. The sound is likely the wheel bearings.
and with the amount of dirt in the interrior, and the fact you can see the water line in the back when he opened the trunk, it looks like it was under water, that would explain the scratches on the side
I would buy that car for $2000! That's such a good price! As long as it takes me to my destination and brings me back home, I won't be bothered about the scratches and how beat up it is. 😃💯 I'm happy that you can take great care of that Ford.
Hey @Randy, after 23+ years of LE myself, we always called that when cars in front of you slow down.. it’s called the “Oh my God there’s a cop behind me syndrome “.. and yes it sucks!! Especially when you’ve got somewhere to be. 😂
the reason we slow down is because we know how corrupt and dangerous most law enforcement officers are and we want nothing to do with you. you dont help anything. you only want to shoot someone so you can have paid time off and have something to brag about to your fellow corrupt oinkers.
Oh it's super funny to me. Love watching people slow down when they realize, oh it's a cop. Just like how he goggled at how slow people were going just from having the vehicle there. It's really fun to watch. Unless your driving behind them, then it's just annoying and I whisper to myself, if you go 10 over I won't say anything, just please speed up XD
@@merrikkplayzgamez ... HA! Never had that problem in 1970 with my ex State Police 1968 PK21 Plymouth Fury Pursuit, but then there was very little traffic on rural 2 lane roads, rural really meant rural back then. Then on the Interstate seeing the big Fury grill and windshield with the driver side spot light in your rear view mirror they would move over right quick, but later on in years and the dumbing down of the drivers we just had to install some non decibel limited European Fiamm air horns when the on/off flashing headlights didn't work to move them out of the hi-speed lane. 😁
@engineer_alv I owned a 2004 saturn vue recently with a salvage title, still registerable. I got multiple cards in the mail from GM in my name about an ignition recall, despite the vehicles age and salvage title. I ignored them, didn't care lol
I drive a 2014 PIU.. So far the biggest ticket item I've had to replace is the waterpump.. They usually only last about 114k.. My waterpump went out at about 130k, and costed me a good few pennies as it's an internal pump.. My recalls.. 1. Are the rear toe adjustments.. done.. 2. A pillar cover.. not done yet.. 3. Seatbelt locks up front.. Not done yet.. As far as the title, it doesn't matter if it's a salvage title or not.. If it's on the road and drivable, those parts need to be replaced..
Enjoy the food Randy 😂. You can put a center console in from a regular Explorer, they fit right in. You will need to do some wiring to hook up all the cigarette ports inside the console and the rear one, the front one can use the vehicles harness. There's a guy named 3dub200. He sells fillers for the rear climate panel as it'll no longer be needed. Keyless entry can be added. You need the dealership part GB5Z-15K601-C. Do not open the packaging until programming is complete. You can program it using FORScan, FDRS or IDS. The 48 digit TIC code is on the packaging. I recommend watching Reid the Manuals video on this as he covers it very well. Ford also has recalls for the A pillar trim on the windshield. That car also needs a good detail! Hope this helps with this project!
On these police Fords, they had fired add some oil drain plugs on the transfer case and torque converter that were not standard on the public version of these SUV's. The government mechanics understood very quickly on their relationship with these that the drivetrain fluids in these needed to be replaced every 5 to 10k to prevent failure. While the public versions of the same SUVs had "lifetime" fluid claims that would eventually lead to their failure. Change all those fluids whether you think it needs it, or not. Even if you received a version that a drain plug was not added by Ford.
I drive a 2013 Dodge Charger Police in pitch black paint, with the factory left hand spot light, Setina body guard push bar. All the decals were removed before I bought it at auction (only 87k miles, but had sat for four years). I slow down traffic wherever I go... I recently drove the interstates in multiple states and slowed down traffic the whole way.
Nick would love that thing... The 3.7's are not that bad.. I finally picked one of these up last year after not having a Crown Vic for 5 years and.. The Exploders are great! You can do a lot of customizing to that thing using Forscan. I just bought a Charger last week so now I have two ex police cars to park in my front yard and slow people down haha
By parking that ex police car in your front yard you are NOT BREAKING ANY LAWS as it has NO POLICE MARKINGS ON IT! Good purchase Randy and a good deed for the community at the same time!!! 👍
People passing by should know its not a real police car because the police isnt allowed to park there car on a property owners front yard. usually they park on the side of the rode. That noise definately sounds like a bad wheel bearing.
My Father was in Law Enforcement from 1964 to 1992 he always brought home his patrol vehicle and it was my job to wash and vacum out. His favorite was the Mopars in the 60's after they went to Caprice and Crown Victoria he's always wish he had one of the Mopar cruisers.
I believe the windshield trim is an active recall. A lady friend of mine has a 2019, hers came off and I replaced with some she bought off internet and they came off too...then she got the recall letter.
I don’t know when I had my police car people were always slow down in front of you and hold you up because they were worried about getting pulled over. Some people would move out of the way, but for the most part people were just slow the hell down and you couldn’t get anywhere. 11:46 go on your vehicle settings, and then information, and you will see all four tires displayed with the displayed pressure of each tire.
We used to have one it's called Utility and the Taurus is the interceptor. 3.7 is a very rev happy engine with not much top end in the heavy utility. You can take turns in excess of 100 easily in them also if their AWD. Only downside is water pump is in the timing cover for the Ecoboost, 3.5na and 3.7na.
@@ForneverstarOfficialEh, not really. My 2014 FPIU has 119k miles (7k idle hours, 12k engine hours), and it runs much better than my 2011 Escape with 140k miles but with way less idle hours. As long as the department keeps up with the maintenance, they can run for a very long time.
Pretty cool Explorer for a sweet deal Randy! Also I bet it would clean up with a good detail and a wash. 190K Miles is a lot but if you do take care of something it will last a long time. Look forward to more videos with this one! Enjoying the videos as always Randy!👍
You live in Oklahoma and you act like it's Arizona heat. The door grab on the Tesla in your new video is priceless. Nothing is that hot unless you cook with cast iron in the oven.
What I suggest is to see if the waterpump is leaking or not, we had a Taurus with this engine and there was no sign of a leak but one day car overheated and blew a head gasket due to the leak and we had to swap the whole engine
Great video I own a 2016 Explorer with the 3.7 they’re great. They are so much fun to drive and fast. Glad to hear you’re OK. One of the other viewers was a jerk when we were watching the flashback videos for the past week and said you were in jail, I’m glad you’re not. I’m glad you’re OK. Thanks for the great videos.
I ran into you guys at the movies this weekend, I went to see Deadpool. I held myself back from yelling out Uberman lol. I wanted to respect your guys night. Also Nicks a lot taller in person than video!! I drive a charger and I can say it sucks driving at night when people want to go 10 under, thinking you’re a cop 😂
The 3.7 is just a big block 3.5, both are very reliable engines. The EcoBoost ones are junk, longevity wise. But the N/A’s will run forever with normal maintenance. The only thing I hate about these engines is the water pump location. It’s nice that it doesn’t run on a belt (which means the engine won’t overheat if the serpentine belt snaps), but it’s also a bad design since rubber seals go bad from expanding and shrinking, causing coolant to mix with engine oil. I know someone who owns a Ford Edge with basically the same engine, with almost 300k miles. Original water pump. They will last as long as the fluids are changed.
I would buy it. Fix the little missing things, clean it up really good. Then drive it way it is with the dents. My question is will they give you a rebuilt tittle without fixing the dents? Every ford I have owned I have driven them close to 500,000 miles before I replace them.
I recently purchased a 2017 ford explorer ex police vehicle (FPIU) as my new daily driver, it also has the 3.7 and it is AWD. I hope that it'll be a decent reliable car! I love the way it looks and I got it for a great price. I was previously driving a 08 crown vic police interceptor that I put around 75k miles on myself (sold it around 190k miles) and it was an amazing car! Tough as hell and reliable. Never gave me any issues other than the fuel pump going out on me. Sadly I dont expect the same bulletproof reliability on the explorer cause its hard to beat a vic but we shall see. The biggest flaw in the explorers is the HORRIBLE water pump design & placement.
I recently won a 2014 Explorer FPIU for $3,500, with only 115k miles. I got it from a government auction, directly from the police department. They thought the alternator went bad, which is why it went for so cheap. It ended up just being a bad battery 😂 They had put a brand new Napa battery in it, but ended up being bad from the start. A cheap AutoZone battery completely fixed the issue! It puts out a good 14.6 volts now! It runs and drives perfectly, with no lights. I’ve already put 5k miles on it. What a steal! It will probably need a water pump soon, which I’ve already saved up enough money to fix it. It’s not leaking now, but I’m expecting it to leak soon. It’s honestly worth fixing, because where else are you going to find a low mileage modern Explorer for under $4k? The chances are very slim.
I want you to do more on this car. Dive deeper into the black box see how much idling time is stored. That will show you true life of the car. Idling time counts as unseen mileage.
That's a pretty good snag. I'm a fellow Copart/auction goer. That Exploder would make a great work vehicle. I've bought similar vehicles, drove them for a year or two and usually sell them for what I have invested in them.
I owned a2008 crown Victoria ex police cruiser. It was common for people to slow down when I got behind them. It was a fun car until reverse stopped working.
I have been looking at these here in Utah. The cheapest one I could find was about $12-15K. Getting that for $2K is a steal. I want and need one of these so bad. I don't have a car of my own and would love this thing. That's a GREAT find.
I have two of these Ford Police Interceptor Utilities, which we drive daily... That roar could mean a low tire, or a bad wheel bearing... It's a 3.7 liter, with an eight speed automatic... Yes, I would have bought it... Most police vehicles are in working order, but will have low tires from sitting at the auction... Usually Sox months or more... It is real important at the milage to consider the water pump and timing set if it has not been done... It is also important to fully service it... Especially the PTO unit (transfer case)... It has four wheel independent suspension... You must use a full size spare tire, as the PTO is sensitive to mismatched tires!!! If you have any questions on this or the Sedan, you can contact me if you would like... These are very roadworthy, and somewhat affordable... (Ford ran one through Hells Revenge in Moab, Utah)...
lol good to see people slow down. Definitely will make a good car. So Randy i was in Kentucky and Tennessee last week and i have to say people are so nice and respectful! Plus the food wow loved it! Best i ever had! Me and my wife were down there for my nieces wedding! Definitely going back!
My 2011 Chevy Cruze LS Has Made Noise In The Right Rear Wheel For The Last 20,000 Miles It is A HUB BEARING Noise I Bought a Brand New AC Delco Hub Bearing Machanic Will Put It In Soon
Had a 2014. only thing I didn’t like was small fuel tank (17 gal). Great safe SUV. Would make a great winter beater! The Wheezard says water pump is engine out tho 😬
The front cloth seats are for operator comfort. The rear seat was "hard vinyl" in my day. The reason was, vomit, blood and other bodily fluids wiped right off. Then disinfectant was applied with zero damage to the seat. In the 80's both front and rear seats were "hard vinyl" hot in Summer cold in Winter and offered no firm no slip seating. Your car should have steel "stab plates" in the back of the front seats. In general, 40% of that mileage is idling the rest actual patrol use. That car has seen a lot of hard use, jumping curbs usually killed the axle bearings. GL
It’s a rear wheel bearing your hearing. Had the exact same car doing the same noise and a ford escape aswell same thing. Both won’t send vibrations or anything but will make that sound. Replace that and you’re good to go!!
These things are bulletproof i have the 2011 civilian version with the 3.5 N/A AWD 300k miles on the odometer and she just runs like new with like zero maintenance.
looks like an unmarked cop car money well spent for sure after a bit of a coaxing and some detailing the SUV will be good as new and ready to rock and roll.
Randy, for 2k it's a good deal. I live on a busy Rd similar to yours. If anything and it didn't run, it would still be a win case I could sit it out front to slow traffic.
To put into consideration how much inflation has gone up and how hard it is to buy a brand new car nowadays. I think that $2000 was extremely way to cheap for this car. Even for the mileage, it was too cheap. I daily drive a 2006 Toyota Sienna. And if I'm driving 50 miles an hour and then all of a sudden, there's a curve in the road. The tire pressure light goes on just out of the blue. And to make it go away, I have to turn the car off and restart it, and the light goes away. I fill the tires up myself. And they are all at factory tire pressure. So maybe it's a bad sensor, but there's nothing wrong with tire pressure.
I like that explorer I had one but the wife had a accident with it. It was a old state trooper explorer I miss mine. My explorer had a full axle in the rear.
I have to say it, that was another great video, bro. I'm a big fan of the push bumper guard and the column shifter. Honestly, if everything is working the way it's supposed to, that's a great deal. Clean it up and just drive and enjoy it. Have a good one, bro. I'll catch you on the next one.
the little dents are from the knuckles on handcuff chains, and the multiplicty of metal object of an officer's duty belt. and of course belt buckles and other things on people thrown over the hood or up against the sides
I like it! For 2 K? Hell yea! All day long! TPMS sensors go South after a few years. That's probably what that is. That noise, I would guess tire out of spec, or maybe a bearing in the rear end. The engine seems to run fine. Looks like nobody has ever been in the back seat.

All those little dings on the hood and fenders, could be from perps getting slammed against the body.
I like the way you think.

You live in Oklahoma and you act like it's Arizona heat. The door grab on the Tesla in your new video is priceless.
Nothing is that hot unless you cook with cast iron in the oven.
What I suggest is to see if the waterpump is leaking or not, we had a Taurus with this engine and there was no sign of a leak but one day car overheated and blew a head gasket due to the leak and we had to swap the whole engine
Great video I own a 2016 Explorer with the 3.7 they’re great. They are so much fun to drive and fast. Glad to hear you’re OK. One of the other viewers was a jerk when we were watching the flashback videos for the past week and said you were in jail, I’m glad you’re not. I’m glad you’re OK. Thanks for the great videos.
“But women can turn up the radio for right about 3 years and not have another problem”
-Randy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I ran into you guys at the movies this weekend, I went to see Deadpool. I held myself back from yelling out Uberman lol. I wanted to respect your guys night. Also Nicks a lot taller in person than video!! I drive a charger and I can say it sucks driving at night when people want to go 10 under, thinking you’re a cop 😂
That’s a great buy, Randy. Until you get real close it looks damn nice. It looks damn nice regardless for the mileage.
when you were showing off you watch and was like "hey siri" my hpone went off and replied with "uh huh?" i laughed too hard!
I love these test drive kind of videos.Keep up the good work
you actually got the best version of the motors they put in these. that 3.7 liter V6 is one of the best engines Ford has made in the past 30 years.
The 3.7 is just a big block 3.5, both are very reliable engines. The EcoBoost ones are junk, longevity wise. But the N/A’s will run forever with normal maintenance. The only thing I hate about these engines is the water pump location. It’s nice that it doesn’t run on a belt (which means the engine won’t overheat if the serpentine belt snaps), but it’s also a bad design since rubber seals go bad from expanding and shrinking, causing coolant to mix with engine oil. I know someone who owns a Ford Edge with basically the same engine, with almost 300k miles. Original water pump. They will last as long as the fluids are changed.
Those are just battle scars on the police car.
I recently got a 2020 Durango Pursuit for 1k with 115k miles no lifter tick and literally no problems. Cheapest newest car I've ever bought
@@pjanoo6973 for only 1k?! Damn
I would buy it. Fix the little missing things, clean it up really good. Then drive it way it is with the dents. My question is will they give you a rebuilt tittle without fixing the dents? Every ford I have owned I have driven them close to 500,000 miles before I replace them.
I recently purchased a 2017 ford explorer ex police vehicle (FPIU) as my new daily driver, it also has the 3.7 and it is AWD. I hope that it'll be a decent reliable car! I love the way it looks and I got it for a great price. I was previously driving a 08 crown vic police interceptor that I put around 75k miles on myself (sold it around 190k miles) and it was an amazing car! Tough as hell and reliable. Never gave me any issues other than the fuel pump going out on me. Sadly I dont expect the same bulletproof reliability on the explorer cause its hard to beat a vic but we shall see. The biggest flaw in the explorers is the HORRIBLE water pump design & placement.
I’d absolutely buy and drive that Police Explorer 👍🏼
I recently won a 2014 Explorer FPIU for $3,500, with only 115k miles. I got it from a government auction, directly from the police department. They thought the alternator went bad, which is why it went for so cheap. It ended up just being a bad battery 😂 They had put a brand new Napa battery in it, but ended up being bad from the start. A cheap AutoZone battery completely fixed the issue! It puts out a good 14.6 volts now! It runs and drives perfectly, with no lights. I’ve already put 5k miles on it. What a steal! It will probably need a water pump soon, which I’ve already saved up enough money to fix it. It’s not leaking now, but I’m expecting it to leak soon. It’s honestly worth fixing, because where else are you going to find a low mileage modern Explorer for under $4k? The chances are very slim.
I want you to do more on this car. Dive deeper into the black box see how much idling time is stored. That will show you true life of the car. Idling time counts as unseen mileage.
That's a pretty good snag. I'm a fellow Copart/auction goer. That Exploder would make a great work vehicle. I've bought similar vehicles, drove them for a year or two and usually sell them for what I have invested in them.
I owned a2008 crown Victoria ex police cruiser. It was common for people to slow down when I got behind them. It was a fun car until reverse stopped working.
why is reverse such a problem on those years
13:25 Anyone else notice the trailer full of cyber trucks lol
i believe you mean a trailer full of garbage!
Cool police intercepter !!! 🚓👮🏽♂️
I have been looking at these here in Utah. The cheapest one I could find was about $12-15K. Getting that for $2K is a steal. I want and need one of these so bad. I don't have a car of my own and would love this thing. That's a GREAT find.
An excellent car to park in front of your rock throwing neighbor…traffic will slow without him doing anything 🤣🤣!
I have two of these Ford Police Interceptor Utilities, which we drive daily... That roar could mean a low tire, or a bad wheel bearing... It's a 3.7 liter, with an eight speed automatic... Yes, I would have bought it... Most police vehicles are in working order, but will have low tires from sitting at the auction... Usually Sox months or more... It is real important at the milage to consider the water pump and timing set if it has not been done... It is also important to fully service it... Especially the PTO unit (transfer case)... It has four wheel independent suspension... You must use a full size spare tire, as the PTO is sensitive to mismatched tires!!! If you have any questions on this or the Sedan, you can contact me if you would like... These are very roadworthy, and somewhat affordable... (Ford ran one through Hells Revenge in Moab, Utah)...
yes 😀! love old cop cars
lol good to see people slow down. Definitely will make a good car. So Randy i was in Kentucky and Tennessee last week and i have to say people are so nice and respectful! Plus the food wow loved it! Best i ever had! Me and my wife were down there for my nieces wedding! Definitely going back!
I would have bought the hell out of it 🚨💯 $2000 BET !
0:21 FOOORRRRDD EEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXPLODERR
Shit that’s only $500 bucks more than I bought my WRECKED (swung into a pole) 1997 grand marquis for LMAO 😂😂
but its a grand marquis so "tis but a scratch"
My 2011 Chevy Cruze LS Has Made Noise In The Right Rear Wheel For The Last 20,000 Miles It is A HUB BEARING Noise I Bought a Brand New AC Delco Hub Bearing Machanic Will Put It In Soon
Everyone needs a cop car
Had a 2014. only thing I didn’t like was small fuel tank (17 gal). Great safe SUV. Would make a great winter beater! The Wheezard says water pump is engine out tho 😬
$2k. I'll buy from you right now. I have 2011 crown vic cvpi now. Been looking for an explorer ppv that's not over priced.
The front cloth seats are for operator comfort. The rear seat was "hard vinyl" in my day. The reason was, vomit, blood and other bodily fluids wiped right off. Then disinfectant was applied with zero damage to the seat. In the 80's both front and rear seats were "hard vinyl" hot in Summer cold in Winter and offered no firm no slip seating. Your car should have steel "stab plates" in the back of the front seats. In general, 40% of that mileage is idling the rest actual patrol use. That car has seen a lot of hard use, jumping curbs usually killed the axle bearings. GL
Donate to the local police department. Ask them if you can still park at your place for traffic control purposes. Lol 🤡🤪
11:22 the intrusive thoughts got me cracking up 🤣
That missing trim piece on the left of the front windshield supposed to be on recall from Ford. Get it fixed under that, awesome content!
That's a good deal
Thank you
It’s a rear wheel bearing your hearing. Had the exact same car doing the same noise and a ford escape aswell same thing. Both won’t send vibrations or anything but will make that sound.
Replace that and you’re good to go!!
2000$, Hell yeah and i would daily drive the hell out of that thing, I love retired police vehicles.
These things are bulletproof i have the 2011 civilian version with the 3.5 N/A AWD 300k miles on the odometer and she just runs like new with like zero maintenance.
My samsung galaxy watch only needs a charge every few days. Screw apple
@@wrenchgurl16 definitely samsung
Agree
This guy never responds to any comments
I don’t respond to comments huh? 🤔
My Casio watch needs charged every 7 years.
looks like an unmarked cop car money well spent for sure after a bit of a coaxing and some detailing the SUV will be good as new and ready to rock and roll.
Police impersonators using aucton fleet squads is scary ! I seen the videos !
That is a 2017 Explorer, Great Buy !
4:10 98.47 idle hrs
@@tronpennington6547 you stole it from me. Just under 100 hours is crazy high
Good Job Randy here in Maryland this 5k straight very good condition
Ford Exploder?! Sounds like a porn mobile😅😅😅
Randy, for 2k it's a good deal. I live on a busy Rd similar to yours. If anything and it didn't run, it would still be a win case I could sit it out front to slow traffic.
Great deal. Can’t beat that!
I have seen a few small towns do this with their old vehicles, but have the benefit of still having the official police signage.
Those things are beasts! I have a 2016 Explorer with the 3.5 non turbo, super reliable! Mine has 230k miles and runs like new.
To put into consideration how much inflation has gone up and how hard it is to buy a brand new car nowadays.
I think that $2000 was extremely way to cheap for this car. Even for the mileage, it was too cheap.
I daily drive a
2006 Toyota Sienna.
And if I'm driving 50 miles an hour and then all of a sudden, there's a curve in the road. The tire pressure light goes on just out of the blue. And to make it go away, I have to turn the car off and restart it, and the light goes away.
I fill the tires up myself. And they are all at factory tire pressure. So maybe it's a bad sensor, but there's nothing wrong with tire pressure.
I like that explorer I had one but the wife had a accident with it. It was a old state trooper explorer I miss mine. My explorer had a full axle in the rear.
YES! I would have bought the police SUV!!! Would love to own it!!!!! Just think Randy, it has 4-wheel drive too!!!
I have to say it, that was another great video, bro. I'm a big fan of the push bumper guard and the column shifter. Honestly, if everything is working the way it's supposed to, that's a great deal. Clean it up and just drive and enjoy it. Have a good one, bro. I'll catch you on the next one.
Iv got the same car, make sure you service the PTU and add a drain plug if it doesn’t have one. It will save you time.
Wheel bearing is making that sound. My K-series Type R Prelude conversion came with a bad one, it would make that exact sound.
That generation Ford Explorer is on the top 10 for engine longevity. It’s known to last 250K without any major issues.
Bought one, took 7 full days to remove the wiring and straighten out the electrical…. What a workout. One year after still get electrical gremlins
I’d definitely buy it to use on the weekends. My weekend warrior.
the little dents are from the knuckles on handcuff chains, and the multiplicty of metal object of an officer's duty belt. and of course belt buckles and other things on people thrown over the hood or up against the sides
I like it!
For 2 K? Hell yea! All day long!
TPMS sensors go South after a few years. That's probably what that is.
That noise, I would guess tire out of spec, or maybe a bearing in the rear end.
The engine seems to run fine.
Looks like nobody has ever been in the back seat.
My wife 😊was laughing at you and those two burgers
Nice work Bo Bandy!
