Not sure the actual terminology for it. Itās the holes everyone was posting about patching & some guy made a DIY kit for it that required glueing it in. Just saw posting from another guy with a different patch for sale that doesnāt need glue & is secured with a screw. Iāll post pics of my glued...
I had to be repetitive (see previous posts when I changed my DH 19ās to 29ās and changed Pirelli Trofeo RSās to Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons). Tire manufacturer also a factor. Michelins have straighter side walls & therefore wider tread width than Trofeos. If youāre not careful, you may have...
Just looked at a 2025 DH at the dealership. Driver side frame hole patched as shown in previous post. Nice factory patch. Blends in nicely with fender liner. Solitary screw at bottom. IMO, better than the glued DIY one.
Passenger side wide open. Just like my 2024. Not sure if itās a dealer...

Boy, boys, boys. Weāre all just Mustang lovers sharing our thought, experiences, and preferences about our cars. No need to get personal. In the word of that great philosopher, Rodney King, why canāt we all just get along?
Beers on me.
2 of Those are the machine screws that come with the kit. They are silver - zinc plated I think. I colored them black with the Sharpie that I used to mark the support block that mounts inside the fender to hold the top screw that is provided (black)
I just finished installing front & rear rock guards on my 2024 Dark Horse. Thought Iād share lessons learned.
1. Kit comes with everything except replacement push pins. So be careful removing stock ones or have some extras on hand. 2 different sizes for the front.
2. DH has moulded front wheel...
Young at heart, Iām on of those 3 guys like you. These are great times for motor heads like us. All the speed, handling, braking & horsepower & we can get 20+ mpg on the highway. I donāt disagree at all with your analysis of the Pirellis. They are sticky & give great traction. Canāt really go...
I have 305/35/20 rear. Speedo off 3 mph at 25-30 mph. Off 4-5 mph at 55-65. Speedo reads slower than GPS. Speedcams & āstrictly observedā zones definitely an issue.
PS.
My Michelin OSHA A/S 4 305/35/20 tire is 1.9ā taller than stock. My speedometer runs 3 mph slower than GPS speed.
The 305/30/20 is only 1/2ā taller, so speedometer error would be less.
Iām no expert on suspension/springs. There are more knowledgeable people on this forum. However, I just changed wheels/tires on my DH HP & will share what I learned.
1. You stated wheels but gave tire sizes. To go to the HP tires, Iām pretty sure you will need to change wheels. I donāt know...
I looked closer at the rims. The fronts have 1-1.5ā more metal on the mounting surface that mates to the carās wheel. That takes up the extra stud length that protrudes through the rim holes. The rearās mounting surface does not. I did not realize that they make the front rims differently from...
