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

They no longer sell a “clear”. Their “clear” now comes with a grey tint. Much to my dismay.

yeah. disappointed in that the "clear" has a tint. mine are probably going into the garbage

Does this mean someone with tinted windows can not purchase Suma products?

I wouldn't, make it too dark at night to see a person walking etc

Also, I really want to lower the volume on the blinker - seriously Ford, what the hell! I've always uses my blinkers, I'm going to turn into a Mercedes driver soon if I can't fixgoing. Is this a setting???? I hope.

Yes, you can lower turn signal click volume via Forscan. It's very easy as a DIY, don't pay for this...

Seat raisers. Before I could barely do an hour of driving without a stretch. After buying the Desert Does It spacers I did a 8+ hour stretch with no stops.

$80 for $4 worth of flat stock and 2 $1.50 bolts. For 1 seat? I don't f'ing think so. Glad they work. Now I'll make some.

Done , Done and Done
Double honk disabled
Blinker volume now much lower
and Fake ass engine noise also disabled

ForScan really is worth the effort - I cannot understand why Ford would have all of these as settings that we can't get to through the infotainment system.

With that said as soon as I do the wind/sound proofing done I will have the Bronco I need.
Then of course some more mods for fun

Thank you for this!!

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...

Just want to say that this gaffer tape on the tailgate idea solved 80% of the creaks/pops I've been bugged by. Best basically free fix that took 2 minutes by far...thanks!

I just ordered some black gaffer tape to help me isolate wind noise. My Bronco got louder after I removed my hard top to install the TrailRax Pax Rax. I know some noise is from the rack. But I think my left rear window is also making more noise.

What's the setting(s) for the fake engine noise?

Thanks!

Do you have any pictures? Can you see the tape when the tailgate is closed? I'll be adding gaffer tape on mine. Thanks!

Regarding the gaffer tape solution to solve some noise:
-Anyone have a link to the tape they are using or is it generic?
-Pictures of where to put it on the tailgate?

Thank you all in advance!

Amazon has gaffer tape. But like with many things on Amazon, you're not sure of quality. I've been buying from bhphotovideo.com. Price is reasonable and you know you're getting professional quality tape.

Easy install? I have a Bd 2.7 and had to buy a butt raiser pillow to accommodate my right leg ITB. Thanks

Very, you loosen two bolts in the rear, and remove a couple bolts in front, raise the seat to add the spacers, and retighten all bolts
