Ordered mine 12/24/23, paid full MSRP. With tax came out to around $62.5. Then another $3,500(ish) on aftermarket for tires, lights, knobs, flaps, etc to make a house a home. So, roughly $66k for mine. Ordered every option possible minus Sas. Second most expensive car I’ve ever purchased (and my...
I use Costco 99% of the time, which is Top Tier, and 87 octane (2.7). However, as long as it doesn’t have friggin water in it, I really don’t care too much.
There is some irony about this Bronco that makes you wonder if FIAT was involved in its design elements. Says it can forge 30 inches of...
Two things.
One - that little annoying piece along the guide rail of the rear window for the soft top when you’re taking off / putting on the windows. Lining it up to feed smoothly into the main rail holder is annoying!
Second - I wish the front seats could slide back about another inch or...
At this point, I'm pretty sure they're just buying crap off of Amazon like the rest of us and calling it a new model for another $5k......
Bring back the "roast" interior and build off of it with wood accents in the cabin. Then, I'll believe a move up-market from Kroger to Wegmans.
Not to be a smart ass, but if you can't drive a V6 in muddy water without killing the alternator, I'm not sure I'd want to subject a "hybrid" to the Bronco life....
I like your style!!! Good looking garage you've got there!
I'm basically sponsored by IAG at this point, not sure who's made more money off of me on this car - Ford or IAG. I did buy the rear struts from them, but I never installed them. I didn't like the idea of not being able to guide the...
Here is what they look like on the inside. I like the added protection from the st frame rail potentially rubbing on the paint. It also makes that seal along the bottom of the st rail even tighter. I don’t have any paint damage from the top against the paint after two years, but still like...
PS: if you're interested in it and don't want to take off the top, you'll need a 10mm ratchet wrench to slide under to get the bolts off, and then reinstall. Makes it easy, and you just have to remove the mounting bolts to the soft top on the inside and mess with lifting it up a little, not a...
After making the switchover from the hard top to the soft recently, I decided to give these a try. I like them! I like the way they look, but I also really like the protection they offer now for the paint when switching tops. The HT isn't a big deal because it's all plastic under it, just...
I think it looks like it’s meant for my kids MineCraft video game, or lunar exploration. Not my speed on this one.
They can imitate all they want, improve on this, improve on that, etc… End of the day, Wranglers and Broncos have one thing they can’t replicate at any price - heritage. For us...
Activated summer-time mode today! Hard top stored until it's time to stuff my fat ass with turkey and gravy and watch Alabama beat Auburn! Also bit the $100 bullet on the IAG rear cargo tub liner covers too. Putting the ST on and not wanting to tear up the paint along the top edge of the trunk...
Same, except mine was shit! Literally. Shit. :-)
Our water treatment plant offers free lawn fertilizer bags every Friday morning at 6:30. No surprise to anyone, that we here in the DC region are full of the most shit than anywhere else, so that fertilizer is some good stuff! It's basically the...
Not an Apples to Apples comparison, but attached is an oil analysis I just had done on my wife's 2020 Mercedes GLS 450 at 93k miles. Wanted to check the engine out before writing checks on brakes, tires, fluids as part of the 100k reset I prefer to do every 50k miles (all fluids, all filters...
I don't think it's paranoid, but it's not something that you want someone to just wrench on until they think it's tight enough. You want someone who knows what the torque setting are supposed to be as second nature (or have immediate and easy access to that info on the spot). Doesn't have to be...
You’ve got to drop the plastic pan on these things, and the transmission housing is aluminum, meaning very easy to strip the mounting threads if not done correctly. Because of that, I would only trust the Ford dealer to do it as insurance in case anything goes wrong. Someone not paying attention...
Anyone who has ever owned a 4Runner will know when the driveshaft is in need of a little "zerk" action. Our 2005 (V8, what a sweet car that was) would absolutely thump when coming to a stop. Sometimes it would feel like someone tapped the bumper behind you. A few squeezes of the grease gun into...
