I must be doing something crazy right because my average MPG is 23.2 right now (21,000+ miles and I've put all but 14 on it). I use regular fuel and follow the speed limit driving mostly 2-lane highways or backroads with a few interstate trips sprinkled in monthly. Granted, I haven't put...

I’ve had my Black Diamond for just over 6 months and been researching steps for almost as long. I am 6’ 1” so I didn’t need steps for assistance getting in as much as some of my passengers have. I was mostly concerned with the long-term damage sliding in and out might do to my seat if I didn’t...

Not entirely. The water spot behind the screen protector on my screen is finally gone but the start/stop glitch persists. I’m due for an oil change so I’ll probably have them check it out while at the dealership. To their credit, Ford reached out and hasn’t found similar cases reported yet. So I...

To be fair, I assumed wash out interior was not intended for torrential downpours. I had water *everywhere* so I will take my lumps on this one. Just wasn’t sure if leaving damp-rid in it for a few days and letting it try to dry out was enough or if I needed expert assistance

I’ve searched through similar threads but haven’t seen anything related to my specific issue so here it is: Last week on the 4th I left my soft top open and was caught in a pop up storm that dumped 2” on us. God bless the MGV seats and drain plugs in the Black Diamond, however I think I’ve got...

I haven't touched anything up yet. I will probably just grab some black spray paint and touch up the bumper marring. Looking at the Bumper Plugs for the holes where the original bracket was but $35 is a lot to swallow for those...might take your route with the cheap plugs and touch up paint.

I’m looking at adding some steps/sliders for my 4 door Black Diamond. I have the factory rock sliders but want something full length for a step but also to protect from gravel (haven’t been off-road yet). I plan to keep the factory sliders so I don’t need something super heavy duty in the slider...

Got mine installed last night and it looks great! Just need to plug the original bracket holes and touch up the bumper paint that got rubbed off from the original bracket (taking suggestions if anyone has some experience)

Looks awesome! I’m near Champaign and travel through Taylorville to see family in Hillsboro. Hoping I see your build in the wild on my way through sometime!

I'm near Champaign so it's not too far either! Downloaded the Bronco Trail App yesterday and was sad there's basically nothing in Illinois. It's exciting to see more and more Broncos in the Chambana area!

Never been but I've had friends go there with sxs's and had a blast. Hoping to make it there after some experience offroading!

I just finished a mini-road trip home and back for Easter. Put it in Sport Mode for the entire last tank and am at 21.1 average MPG. 4 door Black Diamond, stock wheels and tires. Just over 7600 miles and I've put every one but 6 on it. I typically use normal or sometimes Eco mode but lately...

I bought mine from a dealer with markup (got it down a little but it was exactly what I wanted and I was ready). They had 2 others on the lot but weren’t priced online yet. When I went in to finalize the paperwork and pick mine up, they had a Cyber Orange BD just like mine priced at MSRP online...

Has anyone attempted using a paint touch up marker? I have seen them available in Eruption Green but worried it won’t blend well. Found my first noticeable rock chips on my driver door the other day after just over a month owning it. I suppose the dent and ding coverage from the dealer may...

A screen protector for the dash, cargo area liner, seat back protector, some door sills, and a dash mount! It was a Bronco Christmas and I got spoiled!
