#FORD EXPLORER LIMITED EDITION FIBERGLASS RUNNING BOARDS CODE#

For example, a DOT code ending with вЂњ2204вЂќ indicates a tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004. Consumers should locate the Department of Transportation or DOT code on the tire which begins with DOT and ends with the week and year of manufacture.

The date when a tire was manufactured is located on the sidewall of each tire.

For tires that were on an original equipment vehicle (i.e., acquired by the consumer on a new vehicle), follow the vehicle manufacturerвЂ™s tire replacement recommendations, when specified (but not to exceed 10 years).

While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not reached the legal wear limit.BFGoodrich Statement on Replacing Spare Tire.While plasti-dip is another option, we do not recommend it for Explorer builds because of the design complexity. If you'd rather have a quick temporary design, a vinyl wrap may be a better solution for you. Vinly wraps depending on the application may have seams in certain areas that show between sections of vinyl.Д¬onsensus: If you're looking for a permanent result, then paint by far is the best choice. Provides a more permanent and finished look. Paint depending on the application, can have a better quality over vinyl. While you still have to do a little prep-work. Vinyl wrap can be installed on the vehicle in as little as one day. Paint is a very time-consuming process, and its final quality depends greatly how much prep-work was done. A very costly repair, and replacing the whole section may not color match due to sun-exposure. Once a section of vinyl has been damaged, the only repair option is to replace that section. However it may be difficult to make the repair blend in depending on location of damage. If it has been damaged it can be repaired as long as you have some of the original paint.

For the best results, have paint applied by a professional shop.Д«ecause of the complexity of the design, vinyl wraps do very well at matching the color, especially with the lower green/yellow gradient. For better results have your paint mixed by a professional. Once damage occures, there is no repair.Д¬olor matching with paint at home can be very difficult. Vinyl wrap is very susceptible to scratches, nicks, and other damage associated with general wear. As long as the clear coat is monitored and maintained, no normal damage should occure. Paint that has a protective clear coat can be very durable. While some may have a 10 year life expectancy, this all depends on use, level of care and exposure to the elements. Most vinyl wraps are rated for only 3 - 5 years. Depending on level of application, it can last a very long time. Paint life has many variables like amount of sun exposure, and quality of prep-work. Must be done at a professional shop, or have the material sourced by a professional shop. Can be done both at home by spray paint, at home with an air powered paint gun, or by a professional shop.
