100% agree, and a 5 tire rotation is so much easier to DIY than a 4 tire, you only have to jack up one corner at a time Agreed getting the heavy spare off and especially on is not easy, and for me not a one person job, I always get a helper for that part.

What makes you think you would have to replace the glass? It looks like that piece is just sandwiched between the hinge and the glass, with a bolt going through all three and holding them together.

I'd love to see a video like your first one, but with a dirty lens. Show the before and then after cleaning. I would consider buying if I can see the real world results.

Cool I might have missed it, I will go look for it

If you do it yourself you can use very high quality fluid and it will only cost you $75 or so, and yes for me it became noticeably smoother to shift especially 1 to 2 which was always my clunkiest gear as well. If it were me I would probably wait until 5k miles or so just to give the MT a chance...

Tough to pick just one but here we go.... First off honorable mention to @RedDawg I really liked that one, But the winner is @Big Norwegian not only is that a great example of a Bronco working hard but man what an awesome picture to boot, and your Bronco is the perfect color combination for...

I don't think that helps much on stock setups because of how the spare carrier and reverse camera stick out

Great submissions so far! I will pick a winner at the end of the day so keep 'em coming...

Oh wow, and thanks @broadicustomworks ! Ya I have watched this thread a bunch of times and always enjoyed it, but this was only my second submission I believe. One of the reasons I have been spending more time on B6G lately is because I recently retired! So that got me thinking, how about a...

Moon rise Sun set

I think it is a fair question because my data shows that the width of the rim DOES matter. The stock Black Diamond non SAS 17" wheels are 7.5 inches wide, so just a little bit wider than the Base wheels at 7 inches, so this probably does reduce the bulge effect a bit and should result in more...

I'm going to guess something like less than 5% off road and most of that would be on the easier side of things. For the paved driving I am probably 50/50 highway and city driving

For the first 2 years of ownership I worked from home and had two vehicles, so that was when I really didn't put many miles on. For the last three years I was commuting and using it as my only vehicle so closer to 10k per year. But ya, not a ton of miles compared to many of you out there. I do...

Looks great! And you will probably get 1-2 more MPG than I do

I had been running them at 35-36 psi so for the next 30k miles I might try to keep it more like 33-35

Agree with @BlueWaffle above. The hitch itself is about $110 and easy to mount with 4 bolts. The wiring harness is under $100 on Amazon and is a little more work but it can definitely be done as a DIY. Just make sure you get the correct harness type. There are different part numbers from Curt...

Back in August of 2021 I was one of the first to mount 285-75-R16 tires on Base steel wheels. See full post linked here. At the time a lot of people noted that these tires might not wear properly because they are designed to fit on a rim width of 7.5 to 9 inches, and the Base steelies are only 7...

Can you give a little more detail on that J pipe fix?

I assume you mean rubbing on the inside sidewall of the tire. If so, and the rubbing is slight and only on one side, a little more pressure in the tire might be enough to reduce the amount of bulge in the sidewall and the rubbing goes away.

You are not an idiot, all five tires come with TPMS on all trims all model years, and it should retrain automatically when you rotate them. It is possible that you got a bad TPMS on the spare. In fact it makes sense that if that were to happen it would be in the spare location, any other...
