  1. What Are Your Best Tips for Off-Roading in Hot Weather?

    Good point. We went a couple of days earlier for our Moab Off-Roadeo. The day before we hiked Fisher Towers. We were up at sunrise and were at the entrance at 6:00 am and were finished at around 10:00 am just as the sun was rising over the towers, and even with that it was hot. We brought those...
  2. What Are Your Best Tips for Off-Roading in Hot Weather?

    When we did the Moab Off-Roadeo last year, it hit 105 degrees while on the trails. We had water, hats, sunscreen, bug spray, etc. Our guide instructed us to keep the Broncos idling with the A/C on when getting out to inspect a trail or obstacle. We were driving a WildTrak with a soft top and...
  3. 2.7 oil pump belt failed at 254,577 mi (Reddit post)

    Both the 2.3L and 2.7L use timing chains, not belts.
  4. Infotainment issue after update

    I received my update (SYNC-26.2.1.6.5.3) on May 16th and aside from the occasional Carplay hiccups, I haven't had any issues, and it's been hot here. However yesterday I had a weird thing happen yesterday. The truck was sitting in the hot 90 degree heat all day. Go to start it and I got the...
  5. Intake temp readings on a pro cal

    ...and I found that the temps are typically between 5-10 degrees higher than the ambient temps while you're moving. Obviously higher when sitting in traffic.
  6. Air pressure question

    I run 36 psi when cold, which means they usually rise to around 39 psi after I've been driving for a while.
  7. "Key Not Found" Ford no help

    What I have found with my other cars and a couple times with the Bronco is if you have your fob in the same pocket as your phone, the phone interferes with the signal, and the vehicle can't detect the fob. Move either one to another pocket, or take the phone (or fob) out of your pocket and the...
  8. Branson area - Arkansas (Update)___

    Last time I was in Branson was just over 20 years ago. My late wife's cousin owned a timeshare and they were staying at the Big Cedar lodge and invited us down. I believe at the time the Lodge was owned by the same company that owned the Bass Pro Shop stores, although I'm not sure. The resort...
  9. Fixed running boards V.S. electric running boards. Your choice?

    I went fixed. As was said by others, reliability is a concern. It's not "if" they will fail, but when.
  10. Filson is bringing me back to Ford

    Unless Ford really messes up, or the outdoor craze crashes, Ford isn’t discontinuing the Bronco anytime soon. It’s one of the few bright spots they have from a sales perspective, aside from the F150. Its rough edges and quirks (as much as people complain about them) are what gives it its...
  11. Filson is bringing me back to Ford

    Your points are spot on. If all you're looking for is basic transportation, anything beyond a $20K+ Toyota, Honda or Kia is overkill. Is a $20K Rolex any better at keeping time than a $50 Timex?
  12. Filson is bringing me back to Ford

    It cracks me up as well. It's no different than the majority of Corvette owners who will NEVER come close to even 50% of the Stingray's capabilities, not to mention the Z06 or the 1200+hp ZR1 and ZR1X. Let's not even get into exotics like Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Who cares? I have tracked...
  13. Home Depot Pillows!

    That made me chuckle. No worries, they already have an OTA update that will be applied while you're sleeping.
