Doing the off roadeo this weekend in Austin. My wife has no interest in camping or off-reading and that’s OK. Thought I could do the off-roadeo at minimum expense, but then thought she should probably go. Good idea Ric!! A guest is the better part of $400, just to ride in the back of the...

Someone recently posted about using one of these on a different thread. A positive post. As an old guy, I’m somewhat skeptical of the technology. Bigger is always better, right? How many of you have experience using these? Reviews? Recommendations?

Flashback to Tucson, Arizona, 1967. A guy at school took me for a ride in his completely stock Willys CJ3A in the school parking lot. The “Jeep” was forest service green and had allegedly come from Organ Pipe National Monument. The engine noise, gearing, ride, and “cool factor” got me bad...

I was disappointed with the front license plate mount that was in the back of the Bronco when I took possession. At least the dealer followed my wishes and didn’t mount it. Received my Texas plate in record time… slightly over two weeks. Ordered some stainless flat bar and fabricated my own...

Aside from the Torx and Torx+ fasteners, are the nuts and bolts on the Bronce Metric, SAE, or a hodge-podge of both?

There are threaded inserts on the rear of the roll cage. Does anyone know what size thread these are? For SAE sizes, my closest fit is 5/16 x 18, but it is very tight (paint?). For Metric sizes, M6 is too small and M8 is too large. I have an odd-ball Metric tap that is M7 x 1.0 that fits the...

My drivers door interior panel is already getting scratched (fingernail scratches) behind the closing handle. Anyone making a vinyl protector for this area?

Badlands, Lux, Remote Start My key fob has a mechanical key that pulls out of it. Read through the owners manual and perhaps I missed the part about it. What is its function?

The rear 12 volt power in the cargo area seems to be off when the ignition is off but remains on for a while after the ignition is turned off. Does anyone know how long it stays energized for after the ignition is turned off?

Day 4 ownership. Sorry, haven’t been able to get off the road yet, but met my daughter in her Outer Banks in Columbus, Texas this afternoon. Round trip 139 miles. Didn’t do the I-10 thing, did all back roads, speeds 55 to 65 and stopping at intersections in all the little towns. City driving...

Received my new 2.7L Badlands a couple days ago. Window sticker Blend date 4/8/22. Delivered with 66 miles on it, after spending time @ Dirt Mountain. Checked the engine date code and it is 22097. Doesn’t that indicate the engine was assembled on 4/7/22? How far is it from Lima, Ohio to...

Picked up my Badlands Sasquatch June 23. A Dirt Mountain car. Told the dealer I wanted to receive the vehicle right off the auto carrier, with no wash or any other dealer prep. They offered wash, tint, ceramic, nitrogen, etc, but I said no. I received the car as I requested and I am nearly...

Don’t have the Bronco yet. Is anyone using some sort of UV protection for their hardtop other than a garage?

Searched, but no luck…. Thought I had seen a post regarding a Ford rebate of up to $1000 for delayed/parked/chip hold vehicles. Can anyone point me to that thread?

Stopped by my dealer today to check on my build date. Holy crap, I’ve moved up a week….now 4/4. Doesn’t mean I won’t be stuck on “the mountain” for months however….. Anyway, this particular dealership has 3 Broncos for sale. One used with 200 something odd miles on it. All were being...

Yup, without a doubt there is a lot of negativity on this Forum. Lots of folks are pissed off about the Ordering System, Ford QC, Ford Engineering, Ford Communication, etc….. Some of it is legitimate, some of it is unreasonable, some of it is very helpful. Thank you for all of it. God help...

These days the VIN’s no doubt follow Federal Guidelines, with each manufacturer having individual codes for different models/options/sequence. The other day someone posted the 2.7L vs 2.3L engine codes for Ford. Thanks. Does anyone have Fords unique code designations? 1FMEE5DP3NLBxxxxx...

Does anyone know the alternator rating on the badlands 2.7 L engine option?
