  1. purchasing question

    So you need a towing module If you try to install a traditional hitch wiring kit and just tap into the rear light wires - it might work, but there’s a good chance the Bronco computer will interpret the extra load on the lights as a bad lamp and start fast blinking or throw other codes. Basic...
  2. Is it the glass... or the windshield angle?

    I've been through more Windshields on my F150s than I have my Bronco so far Every single windshield crack or chip has been on a highway under construction.
  3. Gravel farm road

    Nittos have been the best I’ve seen to date as well for not rock slinging
  4. Manual comes out of gear with no clutch

    All of them should do that if you don’t have a lot of torque getting pushed through the drive train when you try it
  5. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    I admit I have no idea how to do this… yet.
  6. Largest Functional tires on stock non-SAS outer banks bronco (275/70 18 ???)

    Largest functional tires... You can go pretty big and meet all your objectives. Just a matter of how much work/money you are willing to put into it. If your question is "How big... with no additional work" - that's a totally different answer than just "How big" Biggest issue with the OBX is...
  7. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    So here's what the shop said: Camber had drifted down to -0.8°, but just about everything had drifted by the same amount. Supervisor says he sees that when suspensions settle or start to get old. My Pro Comps have been on there for around 60,000 miles, and I haven't made any adjustments to...
  8. New soft top rear support. Homemade

    Mountains2Metal sells a set for about $80 But your DIY one is awesome
  9. No power to my upfitter switches

    Key on? Sounds stupid but I have missed obvious things like this myself
  10. SSV vs Metra rear 6.5 Speaker Pods

    Coming late to this thread but Mabett pods have an external cover - that isn’t a susprise, it’s been noted that it does limit speaker height What I didn’t also realize when I got them, is that cover has some foam on it to prevent rattling. The foam is positioned such that it can interfere with...
  11. Which Portals Are Right For You? (Satire)

    This little bottle jack is a beast. Lifted a container like nothing that we couldn't get up with 2 4-ton high lifts.
  12. maintenance tips for any new Bronco owner

    Never had an issue with needing to bleed the brake fluid. Rest of the list isn't bad. For tailgate bolts - that really applies to ... everything. Paint torque marks are a lifesaver here, particularly for suspension. Mostly - just change the engine oil early and often, and use a full synthetic...
  13. Using OEM Kick Panel Speakers in Metra Pods

    I tried midbass woofers in the kicks. After I got the DSP and started tuning - the woofers i had were exactly what was holding my sound back. Unless you do ~a lot~ of work sealing off the kickpanel -- and throw a lot of power at it -- you are better off going to a balanced speaker in the kick...
  14. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    You are on the right path. Where I said caster was out, i meant camber.
  15. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    So I'm asking for advice before I take my Bronco in. I've got 38x11.5R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I have about ... 25k miles on them. I rotate them frequently - every 3-5k miles. I just noticed that my tires are wearing unevenly. The inner edge, on all 5 tires, is about 7/32". The outer edge is...
