What's an EASY hack/fix that REALLY improved your relationship with your Bronco?

What/where is this switch?

The overhead switch (not the aux switches) on the passenger side that turns on the passenger dome light, the other one toggles whether or not the interior lighting illuminates when a door is opened.

Stop-and-Go + Autohold Enable -- i was one of the loudest prerelease critics that this wasn't available from the factory

Suma mirrors

Onboard battery charger. Our trips are too short and the alternator can't charge the battery enough on its own

Adding a rain sensor. I need to tweak the method a little bit, but in a light drizzle or variable snow it's pretty convenient.

I have a 22 raptor
The update might be only for 4 door broncos. I read that somewhere before, but I’m not sure. I’d still call or go down to your dealership. Tell them you want the door module updates done.

When was this? I had my 2-door in for auto-up issues last year and they said there was no module update available.
Took quick look in Forscan, it's saying my driver door is at the latest calibration (CK) but passenger has updates available (factory CL, current CN)

UPDATE...I applied the 1in black gaffer tape l purchased from amazon to the tailgate and so far, it works perfectly. It's too soon to tell how well it will hold up but seems to work perfectly and blends in to my dark gray color nicely...

Are you guys applying it to the top of the painted swing gate, or bottom of the glass framing that overlaps the gate?

I did this when I got home today.
Much better!

What's the size of the washers?

And it's a 2 door !!! You're doing Gods work my man.

Moredoors are nice, but 2 doors just look ‘right’!

I haven't found an ASE technician or Ford dealership in western WA that'll do the tune

I used 3, 3/8 inch

I didn't go with the visor, but a $28 Kia rearview mirror with HomeLink from the junkyard works just as good!

my favorite is the carlink Tbox Plus multimedia box...plug into USB and whiz-bang now can watch YouTube, surf the web, use onX maps, see JB4 guages on main screen (and clear codes with it), stream music and video, use for Bronco off road app on main screen, send emails, and many other things with this little box.

They are cool. Any problems (or fixes) for loss of cursor near edge of screen?

Inside top of the painted tailgate. But I used thin rubber weatherstripping rather than tape. The product from Am-zon is linked in my earlier reply to this thread.

older android 11 version has a few minor issues on our 21 FE, but the newer 13 version works perfectly in the 23 WT...
sometimes, some apps can't reach edge of screen...
try the resolution in the settings?

I'd stay away from petroleum based products as they have a tendency to degrade rubber over time.

Squeak tape works great.

I have this problem on my Warthog. What area do you put the rag that corrects the issue?
Here is a photo someone else posted of the area.

I was upset with my babe because the stock sub in the back would rattle a shit ton when I was banging the beats.

Then I read something on here awhile back that said to stuff a rag between the back enclosure and the bronco frame itself. Problem solved. Now we are cool.

What's an easy hack that took your relationship to the next level. Thinking about kids now.

Turning off the seatbelt chime in Forscan. I wear the seatbelt religiously when highway driving. But I don't want that thing nagging me when I'm just moving the Bronco around the yard, moving up in line on the trail, or other times *I* decide it's not necessary. Another Forscan mod that improved quality of life is lowering the tire air pressure warning threshold. Especially annoying if you air down for off-roading.

What did you move the air pressure warning down to? I've moved mine down to 20, but I'm wondering if I should move it even lower? I'm heading out to Moab in April, and I really hate having that warning on the dash during trail runs.

I think I put it at 10. I should have put it at zero though. Off-roaders who air up and down regularly are much more mindful of tire pressure than the soccer moms and mall crawlers these idiot-minders are designed for. I tend to leave the tire pressure screen displayed on the dash most of the time anyhow, so I'm usually aware of what's going on in the tires pretty much all the time.
