Replaced My 2022 Badlands (totaled, long story) with the Wimbledon White. I liked the look so this is more after thought than anything. Ruby red is available on other Broncos, Wimbledon White is for the 60th anniversary only. It’s so cool that I expect Ford to offer it on other versions...

Any concerns with scratching the painted top? I have a white top and want to keep it nice if possible. Also, why did you pass on the entire unit?

I waved for about the first six months. Seems like everyone collectively stopped as the volume of Broncos on the road went way up.

In North Carolina I will have the rear windows off from June through part of September. Only throw them back in for road trips. Go safari in the rain. Mesh cover to block the sun. Last year I put the windows in during peak heat in August so maybe I’m wearing down a bit. I wish leaving the top...

Question. I currently have a GearShade that is wearing down. Looking at options. The Gearshade can be left on with he soft top, which is mandatory for me. Clips go right through a gap between the windshield cross member and the Gearshade. The downside it it flops around due to the gap. Not a...

I need to twist the seat belt or it flaps against the seat. Between kids and not great stick, I’ve had two pairs of stickerfabs tear off.

I poked around on a ‘24 Badlands in March. Dealer had marked down $11k which didn’t hit the price I need to swap with my ‘22. Told him I needed another $5k and that was the last of our communications. The Broncos I had quoted are still on the lot, with a smaller markdown. Clearly expecting...

Exactly. Just like stock buybacks after the Trump corporate tax cut. Corporations will thank Trump for his input then behave in their best interests. Capitalism 101.

JPM moved it to 60% yesterday, most expect another move up after today.

this is a total pipe dream. It is not going to happen, at least not without a massive recession. This isn’t a political statement, it is why the markets tanked.

Be aware that the tariffs shown yesterday are based on trade deficits as opposed to actual tariffs. EU weighted tariff rate is 2.7% per the WTO. Negotiation can still happen, but they don’t have the wiggle room to reduce much.

Tariffs independent of the economy will increase prices. I’ve read 1.5% higher inflation is expected. The big question is when will the recession hit and how hard. If it’s fast, there could be an inventory glut and buying opportunity. Slow and Ford will have time to ramp down production, lay...

Still a bunch of ‘24s on the lot. Going to see what a trade in looks like. Every week that goes by those 2024s get tougher to move.

Soft top replacement that goes far enough back so I can drive in and out of my garage without it getting smashed.

Different without distinction is how I would phrase any G6 Bronco that might be in less supply. Enjoy the vehicle, unique might matter in 20 years.

Most recos are ropes. Your initial question was about straps. This one from ARB is what I purchased. Resist the urge to over spec, believe a Bronco should use 17,500 pound one. If oversized it won’t get the stretch. Ropes will last much longer and are more robust. The strap is a lot...

I plan to buy 35 X 11.5 Wildpeak AT4s with modified crash bars. Several posters have indicated zero rub with this setup on stock non-SAS wheels and zero lift. I might do a 1” level for looks.

Exoshield Ultra installed after two minor chips in my first year. So far no major hits, though I wonder if they seemed minor in part from the shield. Fairly easy install, few bubbles I couldn’t get out. Will hopefully do better with the next film after this one gets scratched up.

No and especially not on the two door. I have the six, but it’s not a big deal. I drove both and both were fine. 4 door, resale, old man ’no replacement for displacement’ swung me to the six.
