I live in upstate NY and salt is used on the roads perpetually in winter and own a MIC 2.0 hard top. I subscribe to an automatic car wash, and I park outside, primarily. I've noticed there is some seal degradation over time in the top, and this is winter #3 . I think there are three...

Nevermind, I found some photos and it was not what I expected. Not sure why we cannot have console vents. I might connect a duct to the underseat vent and route it to the console which is already boxed out for HVAC.

Vin Decoder said I have 'HVAC - inc. Underseat Ducts' in my '22 Base, which is news to me. I'm not planning to rip up my interior in the middle of winter, but has anyone else discovered these installed? If I find this I might 3D print some registers and install them into my center console...

What mileage do you have if you don't mind me asking?

'22 Base with new to the family '09 JK manual. Parts so cheap for the JKs.

The cheapest option for getting the colorized hard top is from Ford when first purchased. If that is a dream option, you have to go for it. New tops for the Bronco have had issues, but at least it will be covered by warranty for a little while. If you're going with larger than 33" tires AND...

Yep, I definitely notice with all the HID / LED lights around.

I think the real reason Ford brought back the base was to sell those steelies with all-season tires so they can improve their CAFE numbers. They definitely 3/4 shave the tires from the manufacturer to gain fuel economy. The best I was able to get with them was near the end 24/25.

the cargo light because it's useless. (not mine, picture just to show how useless it is.)

Good ones are out there. I've had both experiences recently.

Possible yes, probable no. 43k mi for me. I guess I don’t need to address that windshield adhesive recall now …

Instead of a brand new OBX, for the same money a used Wildtrak checks more boxes. Good value, all the safety features, more options, and it's one of the 4 top trims for regular bronco (Everglades, Badlands, Heritage, Wildtrak). (Well, you know this, lol.)...

Wife had a new Jeep compass that rusted out in less 5 years. (Almost didn't make it to the dealership to trade in.) I didn’t expect to get another Jeep again after that, but bought this 09 JK with high 50k mi after the bronco as a family 3rd vehicle for new/ upcoming drivers in the family to...

Nah, this is mall-crawling. :wink:

The everglades is based on the badlands trim. They are close enough for an apples to apples comparison with very minor differences. Badlands sta-bar disconnect included 2.7L engine Everglades 3" higher water fording clearance winch snorkel unique look and some colors 2.3L engine only $11k...

4/2022, just rolled over 40,000 mi on my base.

Thanks for the feedback @BroncGal. I checked the crossbow and made sure it was curved up. It was, but what really helped was tightening the straps up again after the first week of a heat wave.

For WV backroads and trails you can stay non - SAS and the narrow stance with your Bronco, which you will appreciate, I've been on them a couple times. For a daily driver in WV I like the non-sas black diamond for what you say you want to do. Get it with locker and upgraded gears - 4.46...

Living in lake snow country, I don't have the automatic 4x4 on my base and there are times where it is a pain with some roads being partially cleared and others fully cleared. For the most part it's fine when you have decent tires for the snow (not too wide). Just pay attention to the road...

Congratulations, sounds like a cool retirement plan -- tiny home and camp out and about with your Bronco. The good news is that you have a base model which has the least amount of electronics of the offered Bronco models. You also have the Sasquatch package which will get you virtually...
