If you have a catch can, check that. You'll probably crap your pants. And if you don't... well... this would be a good excuse to get one.

Any Bronco has enough power and brakes to tow a lot more than the weight limit. The limit isn't there because of lack of power or stopping. It's because of the soft coilover suspension and relative lack of framing support where the hitch bolts on, and all Broncos, even the Raptor, suffers from...

I used to recommend the ProCal tune - I've soured on it since they took away Rev Matching (although I heard a rumor the new '25+ 2.3 brought it back without needing ProCal?) If you want a performance tune, not really any reason to go with ProCal any longer. It doesn't rev match, it doesn't...

never seen anyone post here but I do run into a few Broncos every now and then out in the Sierras around here Let me know if you want to go out, I live local and get up every other weekend or so

May be worth a weekend trip - looks very nice.

3.0 in a Wildtrak package... dressed in twill.

Keep in mind the warranty ProCal has starts from 0 miles (such as it is), regardless of when you install it. If you are trying to break in the engine, I would agree that waiting until that's done is probably a good idea -- because once you install ProCal you are gonna want to test it out.

At Moab they had a professional photographer following us around and the photos were for sale about 2 weeks after the event. But you were free to take your own pics/video, and they would stop for you to take additional photos if you asked. We even drove over to some location (can't recall the...

Very true

Never claimed it was easier, just funner Auto trans is cheat mode

There are bluetooth kits you can get with wireless remote panels - no drilling required. Diode Dynamics just announced theirs works with Carplay now - but there are other options too.

I’ve heard it happen but wouldn’t call it common. Plastic cylinder if I recall - bad parts happen. I’d be shocked if they considered it power train, but stranger things have happened Master is a much easier fix than Slave, fortunately

This. The 2.7 is the more “fun” engine but the 7Mt is more funner

Basic powered steps - around $1,000. I dunno what repair/rebuild costs are for the various brands. Can find some for a bit over or under that price point though. RSEs - around $2,500. Can be rebuilt, but it's not exactly cheap (I just had to do one). I've been pretty happy with mine, and the...
