I'm at 85,000 on my 2021 OBX, and I still have my original disc's and pads. Ford pointed out early on that they made the rotors thicker to compensate for the smaller diameter that the Base wheels required, and all original 6g Broncos have the same brake set on the 4dr. I'll change them when...
I'll just say as an old trailer guy on multiple vehicles that the round 7 wire/5 wire unit is more versatile, you can adapt to a flat pin from there. Eventually you'll wish you had it, need it, with the extra $ and time. Towing is very random, unexpected, but when you need it, it's there.
1. Paint it.
2. Wrap it.
3. Install the Besttop Skyrider, which only uses the rear cap (what I did, see photo). Assuming your rear cap is in decent shape.
4. Install the Besttop full electric convertable top ($6,000).
5. Buy an aftermarket hard top with less panels ($6,000+)
6. Ignore the...
I'm 73 and am limited by a heart aneurysm by how much weight I can deadlift. I have resorted to careful pre-planning and the use of levers & leverage. I highly recommend practicing in your driveway, as you have done, and assembling the levers, planks and wrenches that will help you avoid too...
If the 4 tpms locations all work when you returned the spare to the rear hanger, then clearly the spare tpms is defective, or, the wrong one is installed. You can purchase a single Ford tpms and your tire dealer install when you are in the area. Make sure it us the right frequency, there are...
All OEM Broncos have 5 tire TPMS. But if you or a previous owner had tire changes done, that may not be true by modification. Have the tire dealer remove tire and diagnose. And post a photo of your tires on car.
I bought a set of the Heritage 17x8.5 white wheels, takeoffs, which are +30 offset, giving a wider stance than the current +55 Badlands 17x8 wheels. I won't go "0" offset on a non-sas Bronco because I have the lighter-duty axles and the "0" offset adds more lateral stress that I'm willing to...
I'm glad you asked this and it's instructive reading the responses. I'm about to swap my 33" Nitto C Rated for 35's and upgrade the Hitachis. Like the OP I don't want to over spec the rating for mostly road with beach off-road, but, I hope one day to get out west. I'm stuck between the Micky...
Nice work! What was your material cost for the vinyl? (I'm assuming you wrapped it as a DIY?)
I like the beltline stripe. The Bronco visually benefits from a stripe, thin or thick.
Shops that sell and service travel trailers and motor homes are often very handy at vehicle hitch install and wiring, the latter being the expensive part if the vehicle is not pre-wired. Also, vehicle accessory shops (bed liners, tonneau covers) are often skilled in this. Each town has a good...
Congratulations! Good looking car! I hope you can try the beach sometime. From experience dating back almost 70 years, it's a very Special, healing place to take your ORV!
When I finish a day at the beach, I air back up with my onboard air to my normal 35# for my 33" tires. Next morning, the tires might cool down to 32 before driving. Once at the beach, I air back down to whatever the sand calls for, the trip to the beach warms the tires up. On the road trip back...
That's certainly a nicely designed product, but is there a market? It assumes that outdoor adventurers always transport the same thing the same way all the time. I would not put a mountain bike that high up, that's what a rear rack is for. Kayak or canoe? Seems like the best use, but people in...
For comparison, here's how the original single looks on the 4x4LED bracket, rotated to fit. Been in there 4 years.
For comparison, here's how my original ARB single fits on the 4x4LED KR bracket. It's been in there about 4 years.
You can find alot of that discussion on 6g in 2021 and 2022 when the cars were first out. Generally, one "notch" of tire size upgrade works OK. EG: I have a non-sasquatch 2021 OBX with rear locker, 4.27 axles and Auto TC. I upgraded my tires from 32's to 33's, which has worked well without...
I have a non-SAS with 33's, so I can't give you accurate measurements. However, once you install a KUAT Pivot, (or similar), which is necessary so you can get in the back, you won't need to relocate the tire. The rack fits with the spare on.
The Regular Pivot (mine) has a weight capacity of...
