Would not recommend pulling too hard on home printed grab handles. Most of the home printer filament is either a) going to warp hard in a auto interior in the summer, or b) too weak to be really functional for this purpose, or c) both. The filament printer stock I would contemplate using is a)...

Yes, if you look at the test standard for the EPA test, they drive 10.26 miles at an average of 48.3 mph, the city loop is 11.04 miles at an average of 21.2 mph. The city has a coupe of 2 minute runs at 50-55, but mostly stop, accelerate to about 30, then stop a couple dozen times. The highway...

Your're a bit off: E85 is 85% Ethanol, 15% gasoline, so the normal levels of ethanol in the gas (10-15%) will have more like the 3% effect. So, for straight Ethanol, you would get 75% of the mileage you would get on straight gasoline (1/1.33), and the E85 should have about 28% less energy than...

My current ride has a 21 gallon tank and gets about 15 mpg normally. However, the yellow "fill up now, idiot" light comes on with about 5 gallons to go, so I am normally filling up at about the 225-240 mile mark. I'll live with it. And remember, mileage goes with how much power you use--you use...

In one of the walkarounds they talked about how to remove the top and there were words about "unlatch from the sportbar", that looks like a latch to the sportbar....

Just going to say, if the paint film causes a GVWR problem, what is it made of? For the kind of coverage I am picturing from their words (leading edges), that should be a few ounces at most. I could wrap my head around the roof rack causing a GVWR problem, that is probably 40-50 lbs, plus the...

a) I doubt you are going to see a Hummer at 40-50K at this point, not with the all-electric vibe. b) in any case, for electric vehicles in general, you need about 80x the mass of batteries that you would need gasoline (or diesel) for the same energy storage content. If you roll in the...

The Door is 7', the trim is less than that, as it needs to overlap a bit. I have the same thing, my door opening is 79", Sasquatch with roof rack would be a bit close for comfort: 0.2" is me putting quite a bit of faith in the measurements of the Ford marketing department.

The beginnings of antennas with gain start at 1/4 wavelength. 108MHz (the highest frequency/shortest wavelength in FM) has a wavelength of 2.8m, so the 1/4 wavelength is 0.7m or 27 inches. But this is, essentially, an omnidirectional antenna, with next to no gain. Shorter is lower gain, but will...

At that size, and since they would be largely flat, waterjet/CNC Plasma cutter, or something similar and in aluminum would be a better, stronger, and cheaper option than printed plastic. I hope that companies like Springtail Solutions will bring out Molle panel kits for the Bronco, as they have...

IMO I don't think we will be pushed wholesale to the end. Do I think the builds will be 1500 First Edition, then 1500 Wildtrak, etc, sure. But, based on the reservation data they have published, I dont think it will be 7000 First edition, then 50,000 Wildtracks, then 40,000 Badlands, and down...

Any knowledge on how the bedtred compares to Armorlite? They seem like similar products, but the Bedtred looks to be less expensive, so I wonder how the quality stacks up?

Since the B&P does not have very many accessories listed, and is especially missing a bunch that were pushed heavily in the pre-production publicity (Bring your own device bar, slide out tailgate to name a couple), when will Ford get an accessory page for Bronco active on the regular Ford.com...

Had the "Leatherette" (vinyl) seats in a MINI Cooper for a while, never found them to be too bad. Had the big sunroof, so it was a bit like a removeable top, they were not too hot or icy in the winter either. Seemed to hold up well (only had the car about 3 years due to other issues with it --...

I got it from the "Bronco Preliminary Tech Specs" document released in July. That does not seem like the kind of thing they would be changing much. Basically, there were only 4 total gear ratios available: 3.73 for autos on everything non-Sasquatch except Badlands and Black Diamond (with a 4:27...

This is also the factory ratio for Black Diamond (manual and auto) and Badlands (auto), so they should be fine with 33's.

Hazards, Traction Control off (these two are on all), Trail Turn (if auto), Front Locker, Rear Locker.

Personally, hoping the aftermarket comes out relatively quickly with sliders that also function as steps a bit. Lots of choices, at similar prices to the factory rails, for Jeeps, that will protect the swell of the door better and serve as a step.

I think Ford is especially sensitive to the overloaded vehicle thing due to the Explorer roll-overs in the mid 2000's. Most of those were vehicles with 800-1000 lbs of payload capacity, that had 4-5 people, PLUS 800-1000 lbs in the back, and on the roof (plus underinflated tires, plus exceeding...

One thing that came up for me, is I measured my garage door opening. I thought it was 7 feet, but it is actually 79 inches and change. A sasquatch Bronco would have about 4 inches of clearance, but the roof rack eats 3.8 inches of that, IIRC. At that point I am just hoping that all the numbers...
