Remember, they are just affirming your frogger skills. On my bike I literally constantly remind myself that I am invisible and none of them see me.

Frogger skills wouldn't have helped me this morning.....

I got side swiped this morning on the highway going to work. No damage to my Bronco, but other car was jacked up all down the side. Only cleaned the mud off my front tire.

Never been there.

I need to get back out to the rocks and trails where it's safer.

Not much changed with my Bronco. I passed 40,000 miles a couple days ago and got my oil changed again. I did get at least 2 new Recall notices in the past couple months, but Bronco is still going strong. My knee has gotten better since ACL replacement so I've been getting back into cycling with this great Fall weather we've had. I went to the darkside and picked up a couple of e-Bikes, Kona Dew HD and an Orbea Rise H15. I told the wife it was for my "health"

Oracle tail light set #2 is going bad...... These things last between 1-2 years so buy the online warranty protection accordingly.

Totally hear the frustration! Nobody wants to deal with lighting issues, especially more than once. Just to share an update from our side, we actually addressed this exact concern publicly on November 19th after reviewing long-term field data on the Bronco taillights.

While the overall issue rate is very low compared to total units in the field, even a small number of customers having problems just after the 1-year mark didn’t sit right with us. Because of that, we extended the warranty from 1 year to 2 years for all Bronco taillights purchased after November 2023, 2024, and 2025.

So for anyone who purchased within that window — including sets bought over the past couple years — you’re now covered for two full years instead of one. If your lights are acting up, please reach out directly to [email protected] or open a ticket on our site and our team will help you take care of it. We stand behind the product, and we’re always here to help make things right!

I swapped out my Bestop Sunrider for the hardtops last week due to the impending snow storm. I also took the time to remove some loose "threads" from the Sunrider. Bronco is at 42,000 miles and still drives like a new vehicle. I have been itching to get something new, but I'll keep the Bronco as my toy. I've been looking at RCSB F-150 XL 4x4's with the 5.0 Coyote......

I made the move to an AT4X Sierra diesel. Cool in a different way. The bigger play is an early Bronco for a toy. Although finding anything reasonably priced is a challenge.

I used to get a different vehicle every year, which is high praise for the Bronco going on its' 4th year in my stable. I Love my manual Bronco, but I think it's time for another V8 something. I'm even looking at older Lexus LS460's Really not settled on what I want yet.

I haven't posted in awhile because I haven't really had to do anything to the Bronco (except Oracle tails #3). Bored at work as I'm 1 of 4 people in the building today due to the snow. Dang Bronco!!

No reason to wait apparently. Didn't you know it's Tuesday everyday when you're in a two-door..?

I just passed 50,000 miles in the Bronco. I was sitting in the Sprouts parking lot as the Wife ran in for something and noticed it was at 49,999.1 miles. Oh boy!! Wife got back in with me and I proceeded to forget all about the milestone and failed to get a picture of the dash. Oh well. Got the oil changed the next day by the Ford Dealer. Poor tech didn't know how to drive stick so it took a second person to get my Bronco into the service bay. I did get a rare picture of a functioning Oracle tail light.

Still recovering from the ACL knee issue. E-bikes got me going again so I wanted to build up a lightweight cross-country MTB and started throwing money at a Scott Spark. Fun little bike, but now the IT band on the outside of my "bad" knee is acting up. Sucks getting old.
