  1. Video of startup error message w/ doors off

    This is an update to this thread, so feel free to merge them, but I thought this might warrant another thread. The service center told me to video startup issues, and as I thought it was related to the doors off, I took a video as I started my Bronco this morning with no doors. Here is the...
  2. A First Oil Change Experience on 2021 Bronco – Using OEM Oil Filter

    I have around 1600 miles on my Big Bend 2.7. I decided to change the oil ASAP after my 1000-mile breakin. We have been camping, and this is the first chance I've gotten. This video from another thread is a good reference: I had trouble getting a filter...you can't just walk in to O'Reilly and...
  3. Big Bend w 33's vs Badlands non-squatch

    I stopped by Davis Ford in Fulton, MS to get an oil filter for the Bronco. Talked to some of thr salesmen and got to compare mine with their mannequin BL nonsquatch. Overall, very similar stance. The BL had more clearance, but overall I was impressed with the similarities.
  4. Some encouraging updates... after 4+ hour drive

    Yesterday I spent 4+ hours in the Bronco traveling from Middle Tennessee to North Mississippi. Some encouraging notes: 1. I got 22 mpg. Yes it is the computer measurement, which even if 1+ mpg off, still indicates good mileage. Remember: I have 33" tires now. A few caveats: I was in Eco...
  5. SUCCESS: First Installed Bronco Bestop Bimini Sun Shade - Pics, Installation Notes, Impressions

    I ordered the Bestop Bimini top literally two days ago through my dealer. They said yesterday it was backordered, then later that day IT ARRIVED! Below is installation/thoughts: INSTALLATION: The directions scared me because they only mentioned a hard top, despite the Accessories catalog...
  6. Issues / glitches during 2021 Bronco startup -- "Check brakes," "trail turn assist unavailable," and "hill assist unavailable." error messages

    So I had the doors off today, and drovr around 75 miles total. Around lunch, I jumped in the Bronco and started it up. It kicked "Check brakes," "trail turn assist unavailable," and "hill assist unavailable." The traction control may have faulted too, along with the ABS. I turned it off, waited...
  7. Bronco washing advice.

    Hey all! Between the PR disaster thread and the GOAT mode explosion thread, let me ask for some guidance. I have washed cars my entire adult life, but never really considered how to do it well. Recently, my wife bought me an electric pressure washer with soap attachment that I use in...
  8. 2021 Bronco vs 4Runner Pics / Extended MPG in real-world / O.A.S

    Some (@604Bronco ) were asking about size comparisons. I parked next to a 4Runner SR5 today--it had TRD wheels but not sure if it was or not. Here are some comparison shots--it's exactly the same size as the Bronco on stock 32's: Also, I've driven nearly 500 miles so far, and I'm averaging...
  9. Parking with the top off...

    Welcome to a thread where I am certain to get a ton of witty quips but *hopefully* some practical suggestions as well. I went to park the Bronco in our carport last night and had every intention of keeping the top down. But then my wife pointed out, "You know there are birds in there, right?"...
  10. Taking delivery today!

    I got the email at 8 AM this morning! My salesman said Christmas came at 5:40 this morning! I've got tires coming, and I have to clean out the van to possibly trade, but it's going to be in my driveway today!
  11. Now THIS is a great woman!

    So today is my build day. I've been joking about my Bronco's "birthday" and came down to this. Here's to all of you soon getting to celebrate Build Day!
  12. Lodging recommendations for Austin Off-Rodeo?

    I apologize in advance if I have missed this already discussed, but I perused the Off-Rodeo topics and didn't see anything. I will be bringing my 13-yo daughter with me to Austin, and we will be driving (our new Bronco, which should be delivered by then!!!!) from Tennessee. I have looked into...
  13. Help decoding window sticker

    My window sticker showed up yesterday. I know the "blend" number is the date of build. What other interesting info can I get from my sticker?
  14. Offroad/overnight backpacking combo

    I live in the Southeast (Middle TN). My kids and I are just getting into overnight backpacking. The perfect excursion once the Bronco comes would be a moderate offroading trail to a trailhead for a 3-5 mile backpack to a primitive campsite. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations in the...
  15. Build DAY confirmed!

    Just a reminder for those lucky ones on here that have a VIN: If you call your dealer or get through to Ford Customer Service, they can tell you your build DAY. I emailed my dealer to confirm my week had not been moved, and he informed me I'm set for a build day of June 25. Cactus Gray BB...
  16. Smartphone app idea...

    Someone out there who develops apps...how about an app that sends a push notification to put on your doors/top based on weather? I can imagine it would be useful for me to get a reminder at 7:30 that there will be pop-up showers so I need to put my doors on. I know some smart-alecs will say...
  17. For all you V8 fans out there...

    Apparently you're in "good" company. Courtesy of David Burge @iowahawkblog on Twitter. Count Clyde of Bonnie and Clyde fame among your number. The highlights: "When I could get away with one" is a great line! "...even if my business hasn't been strictly legal" is the understatement of the...
  18. Bronco rendering sites?

    Does anyone know of any sites where I could play with some exterior renders of the Bronco? Interactive Garage is cool, but I was looking for a way to look at striping etc.
  19. OBDII reader / scanner recommendations?

    Disclaimers: 1. Yes I have searched this forum. There are several threads that mention OBDII readers, and this one is extremely interesting. 2. Yes I know they are all over Amazon. So my question: Which readers would you recommend? For quality, value, ease of use (I'm an IT guy, but new...
  20. Practical convertible questions...

    Since we have reached critical mass with things to analyze and/or complain about, I have a few dumb questions relative to convertible living. I've never owned a convertible vehicle, but I know that some of you are J**p people. 1. What about papers/trash? Every time I open my windows in the...
