I mounted a Roam 4' awning off the back of my TrailRax Half-Rack. For sitting on the beach with the car backed up to the Surf-line. Kept the profile low. Seems to work well.
I have the Bestop Skyrider softtop on my 4dr OBX, it installs over 2 rows with the rear cap on. Now, Besttop has come out with a true, electric convertible top for the 4dr. $5,000 plus installation. Has anyone on 6g bought this? It seems heavier duty, should be quieter...
Powdercoating seems to be thought of as superior to paint and an ideal coating for off-road vehicle accessories. I have read a fair amount of complaining on the forum about low-quality coating or coatings that scrape off easily and corrode. My own experience is that powdercoat is excellent and...
Almost A couple years ago, Bronco Nation started selling a black metal Bronco badge that was a block letter similar to my 1980's - 2000 big Bronco badges. I bought a set, painted it white, installed it, and have loved it (photos below). Others have asked about it.
In time, Bronco Nation...
Scout EV SUV & Pickup Truck Reveal coming 10.24.24
https://www.scoutevforum.com/scout-reveal-coming-10-24-24/
I view the first Bronco as a copy of the Scout, not a Jeep . . . And Scout was first. Our family owned two. What both the Bronco and the Scout had in common in 1966 was they were both...
There's a group of us early bronco owners that wanted both softtop and hardtop at the same time on our 4dr MIC top Broncos. We wanted the security of the rear MIC top cap but also a convertable top for the front two rows . . . A one-row Sunrider was not good enough, not enough openess. A...
Here are a couple of Outer Banks decorative projects. First, I bought the @BuiltRight Front license plate holder (plastic bumper version) for my beach buggy plate. Bolts on with the existing bumper bolt without penetrating plastic. Very nicely made, multiple mounting positions possible with all...
Update: this badge is no longer available from Bronco Nation, but it is available from RMD Garage, the original Designer/Mfgr. Also, since I posted this, a member on a facebook site showed a pic of paint quality issues he had, which may be why it was discontinued. Lucky I repainted mine!

I like the white Heritage accents, but I dont want a white top since I have a Seasonal twill Skyrider and a black roof rack. I want to keep the OBX white letters. I also like my simple pin stripe. So I experimented with painting the Black OBX grill inserts (Oxford White spray can). Its an Idea...
Towing is something many of us do or have done, and anyone who has towed on the open road or launched at a boat ramp knows that there are alot of variables and alot that can go wrong. There has been much discussion here about Bronco tow capacity, and lots of wisdom, but I haven't seen reference...
I thought that the Bronco has the Explorer 10R60 Trans, not the 10R80 from the F150. There was alot of ink over this in 2021. Is this article inaccurate, or does the recall affect both transmissions?

The Cape Cod National Seashore is now closed to off-road vehicles until April. I grew up driving these and other Cape Cod beaches. I welcome you to look over the web site and imagine a trip. With a speed limit of 15 mph, it's not a Baja Race Track, but a world to itself. Locals often keep an...
I already posted my installation on the TrailRax Half-Rak on the rear cap of my 4-door OBX.:
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/installed-trailrax-half-rack-on-obx.52194/
I bought that rack because I want the open-roof experience, but I need storage for the panel and other things. I don't...
Update, 8/24, Wind & MPG results & info at end!
Since I bought my OBX in October 2021, my plan was to put a small roof rack over the rear cap, so that I could remove the front and middle panels and still have a small roof rack. I leave the rear cap on the car, so this works for me.
The Ford...
I really like the white alloy wheels on the Bronco Heritage editions. I searched. There's one company that has a new wheel that exactly matches, Fifteen52. They will be making the wheel in 5 and 6 bolt configurations, 16x7.5 and 17x8.5, in white and asphalt!
Update: I installed my ARB single compressor, using the 4x4 LED bracket. I'm taking the OBX non-SAS High Package with AUX light switches to the Charleston 4-Wheel Parts store for wiring. The subject will come up re installing an extended air chuck outlet, and possibly a more remote air intake...
I received the Gearshade shade top Feb 28 for my 4dr MIC top Outer Banks. The installation, including some attachment design modifications I kept at, took over 3 months. I thought I'd use it occasionally, but ended up with a -semi-permanent install. It would remove in about 10 minutes. I leave...
I've owned my 2021 Outer Banks 4dr Bronco since October 21, 2021, and as of March 11, have put 6148 miles on it, in all road conditions. I've averaged 19.9 MPG, and 22.5 on a recent long highway trip returning from Nags Head. I was finally able to off-road the vehicle on the Outer Banks this...
I bought my non-sasquatch OBX to continue my life-long tradition of Beach ORV use. As a child in the late 1950's, Sundays were spent on Nauset Beach on Cape Cod in whatever work truck we could let the air out of. In the 1960's and 1970s we graduated to International Scouts and when I moved away...
Others have this issue, and its easily repaired! My original post:
"The auto window-down feature where the window goes down just enough so I can open the door has stopped working on the driver's side. All the other ones work. This means I have to put the window down before I get out and go in...
