  1. I’ll never measure up….

    can you send me the link?
  2. BAMF Tailgate reinforcement

    Good write up with additional info that we also found on our install. The BAMF powder coat is really nice. They do need to change their welding pattern and jig to fit the mounting issue. Good call on the 10.9 bolts, we need to change ours out soon. This is a good product but right now it...
  3. Almost worse than a blown 2.7 engine!

    I was offended because you mentioned going to work!!!!! Brought back bad memories.
  4. BAMF Tailgate reinforcement

    Mounting the tailgate reinforcement is a little more than simple bolt on. The square shape with the several holes (see pic below) interferes with the alignment of the spare tire mount. The top angled areas shown by the arrows are a little large so I ground off the corresponding area on the...
  5. 2.7L blown engine failure list . . 68 so far [Updated: December 13, 2022]

    I've tried to keep up with the reports etc, but still have a question. Have any of you that blew an engine found metal in the oil filter before the engine showed any signs of trouble? I know that most will not check oil filter outside of oil change but I am getting near the mileage range that...
  6. Has anyone experienced a rough ride with Goodyear 315/70 R17 tires?

    Our Goodyears were very smooth on highway but they throw gravel a lot. Plus they are a soft tire, but that contributes to the smooth ride. Because we live on gravel and go to rocky places much of the time, we went with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT. They are heavy E rated tires that have a...
  7. Has anyone experienced a rough ride with Goodyear 315/70 R17 tires?

    Could very well be balance. Also read of a person having a bulge on their new factory tire. that was replaced under warranty. Our factory tire on the Sasquatch was very smooth.
  8. any way to mitigate windshield chips

    We use the Aeroskin II. Don't really know if it has helped but a couple thousand miles and no chips or breaks. Can't say it was the deflector...but maybe? Also have $50 deductible insurance on windshield replacement.
  9. Flat Tow Question

    Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust fumes from entering your vehicle. I need to experiment more as our AC does not always seem to stay in Recirculate when we turn AC off then later back on. I am thinking that if you put AC in Recirculate then shut...
  10. BAMF Tailgate reinforcement

    Hopefully this week I can do my install. Did you ever get a PDF made to help with instructions? May not need them but it never hurts.
  11. Rock Slide Engineering install question

    My original magnet did not seem to always work so we added a larger stronger magnet and covered it with the tape below. It should last a long time and never move. Plus the step goes up with the door just bearly close to latching....which comes in handy when working round the Bronco...
  12. Flat Tow Question

    When going into flat tow with 2.7 and auto transmission when do you put Air Conditioner into re-circulate so that it stays there during flat towing? We put it into Re-Circulate right after putting Bronco into Accessory Mode. Is this the right step?
  13. BAMF Tailgate reinforcement

    This is the manufacturers thread. Please see page 1, post one. It seems that the factory SAS may fit a little tight against the re-enforcement plate and some people may want/need a spacer. Understandable since there are 1/2 a dozen or more factory combos and then dozens of after market that...
  14. BAMF Tailgate reinforcement

    I will be installing the re-enforcement plate later in the week. I usually try the easy route first....I can Build a $25 part for about $45 ha ha. I will go to longer studs if that is what we need. Thanks for this tip. Our tires put our spare carrier very near the factory limit. I really...
  15. Just Rolled In: Bronco Went Off Roading And Now It Won't Start

    If you only put in 6 quarts of oil, that does leave room for 1 quart of water inside the engine.
  16. BAMF Tailgate reinforcement

    Mine came in yesterday. Have not opened it yet. So the Sasquatch factory tires and rim need a spacer? And a spacer may make to studs too short? If we need a spacer I think we can cut one out of ABS plastic sheets. Very light weight, multiple thickness so can tweek it to fit, easy and we...
  17. Flat Tow 2.7l Electric Brake/BMS time out. NTHSA claim

    If I understand it correctly, if you pull the fuses it keeps the Bronco in a constant NO boost condition, even if you use the FOB to do the lock/unlock of the doors. There is nothing that would use the battery is there? Using the ReadyBrake surge system, there is no need to pull fuses as it...
  18. America's Greatest Road Trip - Key West, Florda to Deadhorse, Alaska

    We drove Fairbanks to Deadhorse and thought we did something big.
  19. Normal lights too bright/high?

    Having properly aimed headlights makes for safer driving for everyone.
  20. Load Range C for 16" Base Rims

    We have that Cooper tire on another vehicle. Good tire for our rural gravel roads and highway usage. You might look at the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT SUV. It is not C or E rated but could be pretty good for 2% off road. I believe Mickey Thompson is now owned by Cooper. USA made and snow...
