If you have the modular bumper, one option is the detachable winch plate from Maximus-3. While I have it on, it blocks the adaptive cruise sensor and parking sensors. One day I'm going to figure out a better way to snake the wires through each time, that takes a few minutes of wrangling.
I change my own oil in my Bronco and the wife's Q5. But I take the Traverse to the Valvoline drive through. The oil filter is in an absurd spot to get to and I'll happily pay the premium to have them deal with it. I've never had an issue with them, just need to politely refuse the attempts to...
FWIW, I had wiring issues in my '24 Wildtrak (2.7l). In the first 800 miles, it was in the shop for the third time with issues starting. The third time I had a frank conversation with the service manager with the magic words "Keep it until it's fixed or I will be forced to start a lemon law...
I had excessive wind noise coming from my rear passenger door. I'm not too proud to say that I had FBWS, Floppy Bronco Window Syndrome. Maybe this support video will help you.
15" of snow on the ground, but I still need to move the kids around. My wife asks "You're taking the Bronco, right?" The same vehicle gets a huge smile from my teenage daughter when I show up to pick her up from school with the doors off. Nothing better.
It depends on your equipment. Do you have a kinetic rope? Winch? soft shackles? Pulling a vehicle takes a substantial amount of force, so I would only do it with the properly rated equipment, not some random crap you find on Amazon sold by GoodGoodStuffHappy.
Whutt has a great point. While there are a few close Ford Dealers to me, I need to drive considerable distances to get to dealers that either receive parts from Ford that I can pick up (like my roof rack) or that will do installations. For example, I need to go out of state to do the...
First of all, that's exactly how those rims should look. Never apologize (except for drinking Starbucks, that stuff is trash). Second, I'm not sure what you're pointing out as the stock beauty rims seem to have a similar ratio in spacing, although a different number of bolts, but I'm certain...
I had a flat tire with stock sasquatch rims/tires with the bead lock "beauty rims". I was about 1/10th of a mile from a police station so there were three cops who stopped and asked if I was ok. The first one immediately asked if they were bead lock. I explained the beauty rims aspect and he...
So I'm obviously biased here in my recommendation, but the black came out pretty nice on mine. After I took the rings off and painted them, I really like the black and blue look.
Doorless with the roof off is the natural state of my Bronco. But the wife won’t let me take the kids on highways without doors. Tube doors would be a good compromise.
Shortly after installing my new Diode Dynamic lights, we got about5” of snow. I think I’m going to at least shrink wrap the wires. Has anyone had issue with the tires throwing up moisture into the rear of the lights? Mine were caked with ice, but working fine (multi functionality with three...
I found in an old remote that it only worked when I squeezed the whole thing together. It turns out the spring (that is also the contact) for the battery was not putting sufficient pressure to make contact. I did a little disassembly and bent the spring up. To test if it's a remote issue or a...
I spent money on my Bronco. If I park next to it, is there such a thing as installation osmosis? A standard wildtrak is too tall for my garage and it’s in the 30’s outside.
Yes, I think you're right about tight tolerances being important so it doesn't rattle around. I've not needed it for a rescue (yet) but I have smashed it a bit on a steep incline. It's tough.
Regarding the pin tightness, I spray the pins with WD40 before inserting them. Makes installation and...
