  1. Rotors look small

    I'm sure they are the same brakes as the Ranger, which are supposed to be a 12.24"rotor. At that it would be bigger than the brakes on my '79 on the front, and that had 11" drums in the back, vs. the 12.12" discs the Ranger has (that I assume the Bronco comes with). Are these suitable for a day...
  2. Android Auto Music Apps

    I'm getting the Base, so all I can really hope is that I can play my Motorhead, ZZ Top and Johnny Cash loud enough to hear it on the highway over the tires (also getting Sasquatch). And I totally get not wanting to re-rip anything, that takes too long and rewards too little...
  3. Android Auto Music Apps

    That looks pretty good, I hadn't seen that one, but the average review score is about as high as I have seen for Android music apps. Part of the reason I started this thread is I was pretty sure there were apps that were AA compatible, but were not on the "AA compatible" list in the play store...
  4. Android Auto Music Apps

    We can always hope.... I'd worry more about the lossless conversion if a) we were not talking about a vehicle with a near-vertical windshield, a plastic roof and knobby tires, b) I wasn't looking at factory speakers for a while (I haven't seen a breakdown yet of what the sizes and mounting...
  5. Android Auto Music Apps

    Nissan has not been known for updating the Frontier on a steady basis... Mine is mechanically identical to a 2005 (which, to tell the truth, was part of why I bought it--no unknown problems there), and the head unit is similarly behind what would have been SOTA in 2017. I am sure that a really...
  6. Android Auto Music Apps

    We'll see how this one works for me, but the issue with previous vehicles has been that the head unit (2017 Nissan Frontier) cannot handle more than about 180 files TOTAL on the USB drive, so either I make up USB drives with 180ish song playlists and have a bunch of them, or I play from my phone...
  7. Android Auto Music Apps

    The google play store did not list that one under their "compatible apps", I'll take a look.
  8. Android Auto Music Apps

    For those who use Android Auto: Do any music player apps that are Android Auto compatible work well with music that is locally stored? Right now, I keep my music library on an SD card in my phone. My phone is (in theory) compatible with wireless Android Auto (no current vehicle I own has...
  9. Your first Bronco, or repeat offender?

    Had an '86 Ramcharger, I would have to second the gutless comments on the 318 in that (2 bbl carb, I think the factory rating was 120 Hp--still liked the truck a lot). Sold that, bought a '79 Bronco with a swapped in 460, mated to the NP435 4 speed. 33" MTs, Custom trim level (no air, no...
  10. All the vehicles we have owned before.

    1978 Mercury Cougar (2-door)--used 1989 Ford Probe --new(ish) 1983 Hyundai Pony -- very used--model never came to the states--for good reason. However, to be fair, most of what was wrong with it was previous owner abuse--no exhaust manifolds, no windshield wipers, no headlight lenses, no rear...
  11. Full-time 4x4 vs part-time

    And a bunch of us on this forum are getting the base 2 door because it is a screaming bargain. The advanced transfer case is available, mandatory with Sasquatch, which does not invalidate the previous comment that there is a big step up in price to get it, but I wanted both. Don't want most of...
  12. How do you plan to wash your undercarriage?

    In my area, there are a couple of drive-through car wash chains, and on their websites, they claim 12.5" or 13" tires are OK, with a max height around 7'. You may need to look for a different preferred wash station...
  13. Are You a Current / Previous Bronco Owner (Bronco II's included)

    Wanted a Bronco when I came back from being stationed overseas, but it was late enough that Ford had sold all the Broncos it was allowing through overseas military sales that year, and when I got to the states, (in NW Washington) all the used Broncos were ridiculously priced (about double the...
  14. Are You a Current / Previous Bronco Owner (Bronco II's included)

    Had a 1979 Bronco Custom (NP-435 4 speed, NP 205 transfer case, 460 V-8, Medium poo brown, sand colored top, nothing else really, manual everything, no air, etc). Would have kept that through anything, really. It got 10 MPG most of the time, but the 460 meant it would not pass an e-check and the...
  15. Gun / Firearm Racks & Storage [*** Storage Talk Only *** No Glorification, States, Laws, Permits, Politics or Usage Discussions]

    If you are confident in your design, you can order from a couple of places online, and get things in more exotic materials (Carbon Fiber loaded plastics, even metals). However, this is unlikely to be the budget friendly option (especially metals).
  16. Gun / Firearm Racks & Storage [*** Storage Talk Only *** No Glorification, States, Laws, Permits, Politics or Usage Discussions]

    This is very true, even in places that are not terribly hot in the summer (mid-West). PLA prints shrink and warp considerably in the car, even when fairly thick they "potato chip" fairly badly. PETT and PETG are quite a bit better, and not too hard to work with in printing (and, like PLA, the...
  17. 📊 Submitted Bronco Orders Tracking List & Stats

    My order is in: Base, Sasquatch, 2 Door. Now the long wait.
  18. 2 Door Vs. 4 Door Bronco Daily Drivers

    2-Door. Love the look, just me, my wife and the dog at most. Most of the time, it will just be me.
  19. Sound deadening headliner on Bronco top (first photos)

    I don't know if anyone knows, but will this come down around the windows in the rear? I know Hotheads sells extra pieces to accomplish that, but since the coverage in the front panels is fairly complete, does that extend to the rear also? Cannot really tell from these pictures, they are pretty...
  20. POLL: what powertrain are you choosing at order time?

    2.3L/Auto, why? CINC House said Auto. Drove a Ranger with the 2.3L, and that confirmed to me that the engine has more power than my previous Bronco did (7.5L '79, 4 speed) and the 4.7 gears will more than make up for the tire difference (33 vs 35). Looking at Basesquatch, the 2.7L is $1800, so...
