Oh yeah, sorry I should have added more context to my post. I saw your pics in the thread and put mine up as another point of reference / thought it might be interesting to show how those points differed between broncs. I'm going to pick up some of that cloth wire harness tape and wrap around...

Got some pics of my harness near the fluid reservoir. No obvious wearing through wires, though I didn’t get great angles with my bore scope. (edit: 2.3, ‘22MY, 37k lots of gravel roads) Top-down: Side view (towards inner fender from engine): Be interested to see if this ends up as the area...

It’d be interesting to see pics of the same problem areas around the reservoir on new models that are outside of the recall time frame. I’m hoping to DIY this too. My dealer here (also Alaska) tends to be booked out many, many months in general

Thanks to this thread I went ahead and took care of my check brake issue today. ‘22 2.3 manual - hard brake pedal at start for the last month or so - threw the error when I got on the throttle last week. I went with the MB3Z-2420-L replacement part. It fit perfect, although mounted up in the...

I just had the same experience on my ‘22 base. Picked up an H7 and I was very confused until finding this thread, haha. I bent the retaining plate too, and am contemplating just buying the part sans retaining end + the bigger blanket… because OCD I guess. New batt seemed to do the trick of...

It’s great to see that setup! I’m going for the same on my 2 door. Had to tap the hole for the ball, but luckily it’s the perfect size for an m10x1.5. Currently waiting on my “free” mini to arrive. I’m not 100% sure I will be able to orient the dishy quite as nicely, but we shall see. planning...

I do this too. Just 3M clearBra and rip off and replace when it gets too pockmarked. So far, so good…

‘22, 30k mi, no cracks. It lives in a garage so the top doesn’t get tons of sun and weather. it sees wide temperature swings in the winter, sometimes I’ll take it out and the top will go from 60F garage temp to -45F Alaska / Hoth.

Today I deleted muh rear seats to fit more dog.

Oh hey, I actually designed one of these and use it… just never shared with anyone 🤣 if I remember after work I will come back and upload it to Thingiverse and paste a link. edit: link ---- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7111570 It looks like this: It took a few tries to make something...

For a fun / casual vehicle I think base is a good approach too. I like my 7MT but really only chill with other folks driving it who have owned and casually driven manuals. That’s a personal hang up of mine, but if you can see yourself feeling similar and you plan on sharing a lot, then it seems...

I’m personally not a fan of the frameless windows in my 2 door. They do add to the look and, I suppose, if I had any intentions of removing my doors, no frames might add to convenience. I’m pretty happy with the rest of my base/2dr/7mt after 3 years of ownership. Some of the drawbacks I’ve had...

I appreciate very much that you rescued that greyhound. Not sure what I’d do If mine got out and was lost like that, but it’s my worst nightmare. Awesome going, man! Cheers 🍻

Thank you 👍 the illustrations sure make things clear. Makes me want to buy the 3 day license just to see what other good stuff is in there! No idea why I was so far below the line - I squished in two quart bags, then added a decent sized squeeze extra from a 3rd bag to account for the extra...

Hey @CarbonSteel thanks for posting all this stuff. The thread + reference spreadsheets + vids have been incredibly useful. I’ve got one question, sorry if it’s been asked a dozen times. Search function failed me, or I failed it. I put more than 65oz in the rear diff (non locking). Probably...
