2024 Badlands with MIC top. Parked both directions on a sloped driveway steeper than yours. Many long Minnesota rains and a few deluge thunderstorms. And a few snowstorms with melting snow. Drive-through car wash once. Many hand washes using the garden hose, many washes using my pressure washer...

It’s your lucky day. If I was you I’d say a little prayer of gratitude that A.S.S. has magically gone away and then go buy a lottery ticket!

Dunno about your soft top assist, but I do know from having an assortment of many toppers on pickup trucks for decades. that getting 3 1/2 years out of a pair of lift struts for something opened frequently like a topper’s rear glass door before they go soft is pretty good. Get the dimensions...

Mabett’s, with or without the graphic. No drill, sturdy brackets, good fit, flaps look OEM. If choosing to run mud flaps, definitely the fronts, rears optional because the tires are so close to the rear of the truck not much splash onto the back corners. I have both on for the winter to keep the...

Order your Bronco in any color other than black. 😉 My first brand new vehicle was a fresh off the lot shiny F-150 XLT in gloss black and it showed every minor scratch and speck of dust ‘til the day I traded it in for a different color. That being said, running boards and front mud flaps will...

Nice retro 2G Bronco block letter script! I warmed up the badge with a heat gun and used a plastic razor blade to lift up a corner, then it pops off pretty easy and can be reused. Agree that a badge and the 1G Bronco script is too much on the fender, so relocated the badge to the rear side...

Old school, new school.

But obviously you do care if someone knows if your Bronco is a V6 or straight 4. ✔ Like the 2.7T idea. Or 2.7TT 😉

Old school cool. I’d buy a set if you added TURBO or Twin Turbo to the design, otherwise no. There’s a world of HP and torque difference between a NA 2.7 and a 2.7 Turbo. More snap, crackle and pop. How about something like this combined with turbo and 2.7 L?

Thanks! I get out Colorado-way frequently and I wouldn’t mind making a point of bring my Badlands into Kyle‘s shop knowing he has experience and knows what he’s doing regarding Bronco tops. Details look pretty good! So he removed the rear cap side glass windows, and re-adhered them back in...

Thanks for the great write up and pics!! Would you mind sharing the name of the Line-X shop either here or in a PM? I’m assuming the shop removed the rear cap to do the job? Also curious how well they wrapped the edges of all of the panels and how far into the grooves around the back windows...

If I was desperate for a set of SUMA mirrors I’d seriously consider “upgrading” the mounting ring myself by using JB Weld epoxy to refasten it to the mirror for peace of mind and call it good. PS I like the concept of a tinted side mirror because I’m tired of being blinded by headlights in the...

Night ride in a blizzard in Baja GOAT mode, Star Wars effect thru the front camera.

Not rocket surgery. Because the rigid part of the oil extractor tube if it’s long enough goes through the dipstick tube, beyond the bottom of the dipstick tube, to the bottom of the oil pan. If an oil extractor is used and then complete oil removal is confirmed by removing the oil pan drain...

FWIW, I had cloth seats (seemed like a tough polyester) in a 2015 Ford F150 XLT that held up pretty good over the course of 10 years. The trick to avoid wear is to not slide your fanny over the side edge of the seat getting out of the vehicle. In other words, step out of the vehicle, don’t...
