The interior of my ā23 Bronco isnāt even in the same ballpark as my wifeās ā23 4Runner. For that matter, neither is my momās Lincoln.
Iāve heard the 6th gen (2025+) 4Runner interiors feel cheaper. But our 5th gen feels very solid, durable, and well designed. The Bronco interior is trash. Iām...
Try to have fun with it, in spite of the fact that it is likely the most poorly-engineered, shoddily-built vehicle youāll ever own. Oh, and when you need those inevitable repairs, just know that Fordās service departments are the pinnacle of incompetence and carelessness.
Just today I picked...
That was my logic as well. Nothing touches my top except water and soap. Then, at 38k miles (how convenient) the cracks started. Now Iām like āF*** it, not even babying these things will make up for Fordās bad design.ā So, it looks like about $700 to Line-X and then Iām gonna get a rack and load...
Minimal. Pulled out a large lilac root ball last summer. Made easy work of that and I was pulling from straight ahead, so no stress on the mount to speak of. Other than that, Iāve pre-tensioned the line on the drum a couple times after rinsing dirt/sand that collects on the outer wind of the...
Pretty well, Iād say. In spring 2025 (after the first winter), I noticed a few spots of rust starting on the welds. There were also a few rock chips on the face of the winch mount. I hit these with a brush wheel and a few sprays of flat rust oleum and it was good. Just washed the whole rig...
Wow. Thats a lot of lift! Diff drop? What are you doing to keep the CV joints from wearing? And 235ās! That was the tire I originally had planned to run as a replacement. So, those are basically a 31ā tire?
Currently planning a trip to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. July or August 2026. Planning to hit some mild/medium passes (Imogene, Engineer, Ophir, Mineral Creek). Assuming I take the Bronco, it will be a good test of current tires and clearance. I canāt imagine wanting to do anything more...
Iāve been on a set of black diamond takeoff alloys since spring. My base steelies had been powder coated by a Ford service dept. that marred them up and agreed to make it right. But that finish made it harder to match touch up paint. So they were rusting pretty badly in the seams.
I put...
@Bdisco - Iām on this list now too. Saw your signature and I can assure you, @Ford didnāt have much more figured out by model year ā23.
Perfect timing, now that the winter road slop is upon us. Not sure which is sloppier, metro Detroit highways or Fordās QC.
Honest to God, this morning was the...
