Nice, congrats! My 2 door has been great, and I frequently have three people AND hockey goalie gear in it. I really like the longer doors of the 2 door, comfort wise.

oh i love the goalie energy!!! i don’t play anymore as my knees are trashed but i have season tickets for our local AHL team.

i always wanted a 2 door and this popped up for such a good deal i couldn’t pass it up.

Ok, so one thing that has bothered me from day 1 is that I had a small clutch pedal squeak every time I pushed in the clutch. I became used to it, and then recently, it started getting worse. As I sat there, I moved my foot off the pedal, pushed down on the floor mat, and heard a squeak. Hmm.

Long story short, there was never a pedal squeak. It was the MGV seating material rubbing against the plastic on the base of the seat when it would compress slightly when I depressed the pedal. I had a similar squeak issue with the vinyl/plastic seat in my 4Runner. Put some Aquafor on the seat cushion where it was rubbing, and voila, no more noise. So for the first time in almost 3 years, no more squeak!

Sad day, washed the Bronco today and noticed the first crack in the hard top. I hoped to escape the issue, but it definitely seems to be a when not if.

Friday was my 3 year anniversary of finally picking the Bronco up from the dealer. Figure I’d check in with the build week and see how everyone’s trucks are doing, mine has changed just a bit,

 

[Bruzer22]

My pickup anniversary will be in a few days as well. I haven't done a ton to it, replaced the meshed nets in the door after they ripped, added grab handles and a device mount. That's about it. I'm 50/50 on brining it in to get the hardtop looked at, but I have to decide pretty darn quickly. It has some snakeskin and teeny tiny cracks that nobody but me can see. Judging by some replacement horror stories, mine might be in better shape than whatever it would get replaced with.

Otherwise, it's been a solid three years. Looking forward to the latest heat wave to end (high 90s) so I can pull the top off for the rest of the summer.

I remember the longest part of the rail journey to CO was the 2 weeks it spent in the local yard, so I'm sure I was pretty annoyed three years ago today.

07.26.22 our pickup day. 58000+ on ours and have loved every minute. Added a Wolfbox pro 900 camera system, metal grab handles, right rear window molle, a clearvu rear camera wash on the Wolfbox rear camera, and a Jackery explorer 1000 v2 to power our fridge.
Have done a rear seat delete, spare tire delete and a rear wiper delete.

What did you use for the rear wiper delete?

I used this one from Amazon because it said i would fit my 22 Bronco but, it did not. I had to dremel the shaft that goes through the window because it was too big. other than that it has worked fine and matched the color of my Bronco. They do have other colors as well.

Four year roll call! Who still has their Bronco, mileage, issues?

I had exactly 32k miles on my 4 year mark. No major issues other than recall fatigue. My overall concern is still long term longevity of the hard top, as I keep noticing more tiny cracks forming. I think the only resolution there will to be to hunt down a painted top, which I've seen a few pop up on eBay.

Otherwise, quite happy with it, and I still get comments on it, almost always about the color.

Still have mine and it’s come a long way since stock . Drove Baja last year with Expedition Offroad and spent a week off-roading in Colorado last month. Just changed out the 37” Patagonias for Baja Boss M/Ts too.

Made an instagram for it too, @Youremytruckblue

Is that first pic Imogene? I made the short trek (5 hours or so) there a couple of years ago. I need to get back. Mods are in the future, I broke with my habit of modding before being paid off. Now that it's paid off, wheel/tire/suspension to come. Especially since I noticed the leaks around the reservoir on the stock front shocks, too. Sheesh.

Glad you're out there enjoying it.

I wanted to get parked near the Imogene sign, but a gaggle of texas wheelchairs wouldn't get out of the way.

I also did the Alpine Loop during that visit. While waiting for the rest of the crew to show up, I ran up Engineer. Glad I did, I had the place to myself.
