  1. side mirror replacement

    Thanks! I just wrapped up. Took me about two hours start to finish - wasted a lot of time routing/double-checking wires because (of course) I didn't take enough pictures along the way. I bought a similar one to what you recommended and even though it didn't have the camera cutout, I simply...
  2. side mirror replacement

    Same situation - smashed into a tree offroading and broke the driver mirror. So you just bought a "base" mirror assembly right? Then swapped in your mirror parts?
  3. Ford Performance Winch with Sensors (ACC, Camera, and Parking) Works Fine; Parts List and Photos

    Wow - I am surprised for discontinued a factory winch for an offroad vehicle. I wonder if it was an issue with Warn, or if there were other concerns. Glad I got mine!
  4. 37” Tires - Another Word of Caution - Check your brake pads

    Thanks for the feedback - Still leaves me guessing about the final issue. I do use Adaptive Cruise a ton - almost as often as I can, and take it offroad probably 15x per year, roughly 4 hours on the trail each time. I don't drive fast, I may take turns with more speed than most. I definitely...
  5. 37” Tires - Another Word of Caution - Check your brake pads

    My last outing before failing safety inspection. It actually was the first time I used the trail assist (which is great for keeping a slow speed on slick snow).
  6. 37” Tires - Another Word of Caution - Check your brake pads

    Prob riding the brakes a lot on trails. Been driving almost 30 years and never wore brakes abnormally early as I have here
  7. 37” Tires - Another Word of Caution - Check your brake pads

    I am wondering how much is my driving & extra weight, and how that adds wear offroad vs. ‘maybe these were just bad pads.’
  8. 37” Tires - Another Word of Caution - Check your brake pads

    Maybe you‘re a beefcake but rotating these 37“ tires is a good ingredient for a heart attack at my age.
  9. 37” Tires - Another Word of Caution - Check your brake pads

    I did a lot of work to accomodate 37” tires without rubbing Offroad. 18 months in to 37” tires, and 24 months into owning the Bronco w/ 15,000 miles - the rear brakes were down to 1mm, rotors warped. Both had to be replaced. Granted, I also have a full set of IAG skid plates that no doubt add...
  10. Ford Performance Winch with Sensors (ACC, Camera, and Parking) Works Fine; Parts List and Photos

    This is what I found to be the most frustrating part. I didn't watch the vid someone else posted (and won't in fear that I could've saved myself a lot of time and cut-up hands). Good luck!
  11. Adjust ICON Coilovers while installed, or remove & adjust?

    From the top, rotating that collar downward.
  12. Adjust ICON Coilovers while installed, or remove & adjust?

    Is a 1" lift on these ICONs too much to ask? I keep pushing back to the shop but they continue giving reasons they can't do it. "Not enough room for a 1" adjustment, would have to compress the spring." I am no authority on this subject so I won't keep pushing it with these guys. Even ICON...
  13. Adjust ICON Coilovers while installed, or remove & adjust?

    It's quite annoying because the next closest 4x4 shop around here is a bit of a haul. I would try it on my driveway but the last time I took off these 37" tires to install hub-centric rings I nearly had a heart attack trying to put the tires back on.
