3 hours labor sounds excessive. It took me less than an hour to install a Borla cat back system on my Bronco. It's a simple swap since it uses the factory attachment points and hangers. You could most likely do it yourself. x2 on finding a used system to install. An aftermarket system can be in...

Normal. It takes more horsepower to push through the air at those speeds. The sweet spot for my 2 door 2.7 BaseSquatch is 63 MPH, about 22 mpg. Starts dropping above tat speed, 21 at 65 mph.

You can now also use your points towards purchases at the Ford merch site.... t-shirts, hats, etc. This seems to be new, I got an e-mail notice a few days ago. https://merchandise.ford.com

I'm kinda a paint guy (hobby) and you are correct! Application variables of metallic paint will affect the outcome. The metallic flakes are 'floating' in the paint layer, so variables such as layer thickness, amount of reducer, angle of surface (horizonal vs vertical), air pressure, and even...

There are rollup/retractable cargo covers avail for 4 door Broncos, maybe they'll fit the 2 door too. Or make your own from a window shade.

I used my points towards an extended warranty. When I looked a few years ago, the hood struts were a good buy. They were made by Redline and priced similarly.

Nice bonus, MSRP on that bolt kit is $171 !

Here's how to track the rail shipping: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/here-are-the-bronco-build-tracking-links.22795/ You do need the railcar number to do so. Ask your dealer or call Ford customer service. Word was customer stopped giving out the info. Try calling a few times to get...

Thanks for the info, I'll be looking into it. I was considering the Waxoyl Hardwax products, also a wax based product avail as a black or a semi-transparent coating.

It happens. It's practically impossible to get an explanation from the dealer or Ford cust service. Mine was built 3/20/23, friend had hers built the same week and the same dealer. Hers got shipped right away and arrived (via rail) on 5/7/23. Mine sat somewhere (a remote parking lot) at Ford...

As usual, GM is a couple years late to the 'retro' party. (think 2005 Mustang, then Camaro and Challenger following Ford's intro). Some competition could be a good thing....The V8 option should give Ford some incentive to also offer a V8. I do wish GM would go back a generation to the 67-72...

Lethal has a review of the Kooks Street Series exhaust on their site: https://www.lethalperformance.com/bronco-exhaust-guide

I was wondering that too. I took a look at the installation instructions.... While the pipes are the same pn on the two systems, the muffler pn's are different, #57817 for the Touring and #57818 for the S-Type. I have no idea what the difference is. I went the in the other direction you did...

There's a link to a YT video in this thread, should explain it for you: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2-7-3-0-oil-filter-brand-comparison-visual.121517/

Do you want something waterproof or to just keep debris and bird crap out? Something like a roll-up window shade or cargo cover could be adapted.
