I’m surprised they haven’t rotted off yet !

22k highway miles, 4 months parked in the winter, 30 days at the dealer and not even seeing dirt yet is ridiculous to me. Wear item yes, leaking shock oil and nitrogen thru a welded component = NO.

I’ve swapped the grille for an OEM Heritage with matching red ford lettering. The center color is acutally sprayed carbonized grey with Oxford white on the outer perimeter. I’m also doing the center dome of the hood, side strips and wrapping the rollbar. I pulled the trigger on front and rear...

built with a front end and rear end. Can you elaborate on this ?

Ive wrenched for VW/Audi, Ford, GM and Toyota in the past. They each have their own pro’s and con’s…. Toyota makes a great product but they do have their own major flaws. Totally different experience; 4runner to Bronco. i just looked at the updated dash materials on a 2024 badlands, very nice...

16k damage in a 58k msrp badlands. Longest wait time was 2 extra days (for parts)… . $1500+ msrp for a headlight is insane but the fenders are a few hundred. It’s also the labor, as everything is spot welded to everything else

going with Bilstein 6112’s I believe. Love their products otherwise. I had remote reservoir Bilsteins on my SAS 94 Bronco way back in the day, amazing performance.

funny… I browsed their website last night and again this morning. 325hp/400+ftlbs from a turbo 2.4? That’s nuts

thanks. I’m a tech by trade and understand what everyone is suggesting and agree residual oil is normal given many factors. Residual fluid leaks would be from two components that would be moving/contacting one another correct ? ( ie piston shaft of the shock & the lip seal), NOT from something...

Ok, I was thinking this contributed to the nose dive when braking 🤷🏻

colors/finish of the dash changed 2024?

What dealer do You work for?
