I didn't think I'd consider trying to be "modular". By that I mean, don't go nuts with a custom setup, but rather allow for replacing what you have as your needs change over time. It isn't about picking a single setup really... start with something and be willing to adapt. Cheers!

@kccougar I think that is the strategy I'll follow too (GMRS). I don't believe I need 100+ mile capability, but rather, "talk to the truck behind me" capability. 😉 With that said, I've also got a Garmin InReach for emergencies.

@Dimitar I also like the fact that GMRS covers FRS as well... even cheap handheld radios should work with that setup. So, you at least cover two configurations in one shot.

Wow, two comments on HAM radios, I didn't expect that. Still interested to hear more opinions 👍

Picking the right radio for overlanding? Hello all. I've always thought I'd be installing a radio at some point, but when I started to research I found that there are quite a few options available. I'm old-school, so I still remember simple CB radios, but now we've got choices like GMRS, FRS...

Cosmo, I'll send you a DM with the info :)

Not sure if anyone mentioned checking the Ford app for the error messages. In my first 4x4 adventure, the truck started making all sorts of error messages; they cleared after a restart. Later I saw all the messages were captured in the app. Good luck.

Probably wise ☝️😉

I've got an FE... try this hack: put it in Baja mode then switch to 2H... it switches to two-wheel mode and keeps essentially everything the same as sport mode. Seriously peppy.

Yes, check the thread linked below. It explains exactly how to identify your engine and when it was built. To be clear, I'm not at all saying the OP's Bronco has this issue, just letting you know how to determine the build dates of your engine. Details here in first post...

Hey @mini4mw, I finally jumped into the cockpit today and was going to tweak the above settings. You are right, my defaults were as you said: 726-08-01 XXXX XXXX 00-- (0000-1388-00D1) 726-08-02 0007 08XX XX-- (0007-0805-004B) I was just about to make some changes, but paused when I wondered...

Sadly, I'm behind on my testing for this... wanted to do it a few weeks ago. But I still plan on trying it. FWIW, the first thing I'll do is set the accessory power timeout (which is a known setting if I remember correctly), then I'll move onto the wifi hotspot enabled in accessory mode. I...

Send it!

Hello all, I've been interested in testing out the performance of the Wifi hotspot and comparing it against my mobile phone. I've got the MMB Multimedia box too, and was thinking it may be nice to have it simply work with the Bronco and not my mobile phone. The problem is, the hotspot only...

Santa Margarita Ford, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA. No games, and MSRP on a First Edition 👍

This is what kills me... before I realized that my build date was smack middle of the worse range (21211), I was taking the rig into beautiful places where the notion of recovery would have been a significant challenge. Yet, that's exactly why I bought the Bronco. Now, I'm basically hitting...

Do we have our answer? Check this post: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/only-4471-first-editions-ever-made.39049/

I'm pretty curious too, seems there's no way they hit the target 7000.
