Thanks for the suggestion. I called before I posted and I'm waiting on a callback from the dealer to schedule me in. Just was curious how OP made out.

Whine about it on the internet? You can spare me the internet tough guy attempt, I asked the OP a simple question. I don't want nor did I ask people to tell me the dealer/Ford will make it better, I just wanted to know if the OP got it resolved...which is why I asked exactly that. I then...

So if I can't live with the rust that has started on the factory bumper because a factory part has worn away the paint in 2.5 years, I should sell it to CarMax? There's nothing in between doing nothing and getting rid of the entire vehicle that you can think of? Thanks for your recommendation.

Hey relish, was just wondering what happened with this? I'm having the same issue on my capable bumper.

Yep, exactly. I think the spring made it much easier for me to get used to that trans It's very interesting how different every manual is compared to another. I'm similar, I have multiple manual vehicles and trying to go from the Bronco to my WRX was a real pain at the beginning. Shorter throw...

I know this is from a very long time ago, but I was brought back to this thread and saw this post and I figured I'd update this. Thank you for this suggestion! The Steeda clutch spring has made me not hate the transmission anymore. It still has it's quirks, but I have a little more feel again...

Long shot I'm sure, but looking to buy a set of clean EG painted fender flairs off an Outer Banks. Willing to drive a bit if I find what I'm looking for. Also willing to entertain mirror covers and door handles if someone has them, but the flares are the main thing I'm interested in.

Have you looked at the Rally Armor Mudflaps? I've had them on my bronco for 1.5 years and think they provide better looks and coverage than either of those in my opinion.

I looked around and only saw mentions of hardtop mounting screws stripping, not any already stripped on factory installed brackets. I recently got the Bestop Sunrider for hardtops, and was looking to install it this past weekend. According to the instructions, the two brackets on the front lip...

I'm 1.5 years waiting for the dealer to get the tools needed to do my transmission.

Still have them?

The vast majority of the issues probably still haven't been replaced yet. Tuesday will be exactly one year since I brought mine into the dealership, where they ordered parts and told me to take it home until they get everything. They're still waiting on tools... And mine made noise all summer...

Every time I've asked a dealership about replacing something while they already had it apart for a warranty issue on other vehicles (clutch disk when they were warrantying the pressure plate, brakes, serpentine belt when they were replacing idler pulley, etc), I've been quoted almost full price...

My front output shaft seal is also leaking Also heard back from the dealership that the tool they need to do my transmission is backordered until end of January. That is over a full year after my original appointment and diagnoses.

I'm guessing the bumper sold?
