Tell that to Ford.

If we’re going to talk about Ford’s heritage/legacy, then we should acknowledge the parts that make people uncomfortable. And Henry Ford’s antisemitism is still relevant because antisemitism is indeed still relevant. And it’s also wrong - which shouldn’t be any more controversial than saying...

Why are you bothered by historical facts?

Because no tire places do brakes…

Except that they have a financial interest in identifying an issue. Dealers do “complimentary” inspections because it opens the door to revenue.

Just go to a tire place and pay to have it done. Doesn’t cost all that much.

This is actually probably the right vehicle for most people that are buying a Bronco or Bronco sport if they set aside preconceived notions and went with a vehicle that actually fits how they use it.

Just line the engine compartment with glue traps.

I just used some pliers to help press everything together. Not the easiest assembly job, but not a bad install overall and they do the job right.

In your shoes, I would be looking at ARB or Ironman4x4.

The roll bars protect you in the event you are upside down…at least on a flat surface.

For what it’s worth, I’ve never actually used my overhead grab handles to get in. It’s way easier to use the factory lower handles.

A lot of the “hard” surfaces in a car that you might come in contact with are plastic - once you move to a metal grab bar, it’s a different game. People often shift position in an accident as seatbelts aren’t perfect, so you have to assume your head could end up a few inches higher than you...

If you have hard handles, do this experiment: 1. Sit in each of the positions that people occupant in your Bronco. 2. Roll down your windows so that you don’t break them. 3. Wave your arms wildly about and thrash around in your seat like you are possessed. If you do the above and nothing...

It’s because the Hilux is the smart choice for a pickup if you need something that is capable, durable, and reliable.
