I got my ā23 Bronco for around $32k with an incredibly confusing mix of price protection and rebates. Optioned a few things but itās mostly just a base two-door non-Sasquatch. I love this thing. I really do. But, I canāt imagine paying more than $40,000 for it. Probably mostly because I didnāt...
On the topic of rust (wheels, see above), Iāll throw this out thereā¦. Anybody noticing this rust staining around the Bronco bolts on the top side of the HD Modular bumper?
Iām thinking itās the bolt head or threads rusting and staining the bumper, but not sure. This is one of the things the...
No. They didnāt calibrate my speedometer. I donāt think Iāve seen (on this forum or elsewhere) an instance where a dealership calibrated the speedometer. Some 6G owners have done so themselves with Forscan, but Iām not looking to get into all that if I can avoid it.
The drivetrain (auto trans)...
Yes, the wheels are powder coated BUT there is an issue - apparently the media used in the coating process can be tricky to apply into the seams of these steel wheels. As a result, Iāve noticed some mild surface rust happening in the wheel seams on each of the wheels. Hereās a photo showing...
Man, this š is exactly what Iāve said to myself about 10 times. Iāve read the instructions, watched the YouTube videos, dropped umpteen f-bombsā¦you name itā¦nothing seems to work.
Maybe if everyone on here lights a prayer candle for me�
@BeerForMyHorses - I like how this thread has basically just become a public DM for the two of us. š
Appreciate your engagement and humoring my long-windedness.
At nearly 6k and theyāre no louder than the day I bought them. No balance issues or vibration.
I run them at 35-36psi and theyre pretty firm. I have to imagine a set of SL or C load tires would be much smoother, especially on washboard gravel roads and slow speed over concrete seams and...
Yeah, we still have a booster seat but I'm thankful I don't have to reach into the back seat and deal with strapping in the kiddos. Did that in our '97 Wrangler for three years and I think I have a permanent goose egg on my head from bumping the roll bar.
Thanks for catching the hitch! Forgot...
Family of four here. Easily packed the essentials in our 2 door for a week āup north,ā with non-essentials on our cargo trailer.
Details in my thread here. Also some info on how our base non-Sas did on the Silver Lake Sand Dunes.
Over the Fourth of July week, we headed to the Lake Michigan shoreline. We were staying at a lake house just south of Manistee and frequented the beach at the bottom of the dune there daily, but we also made the time to explore up and down the coast from Silver Lake to Glen Arbor. Here are some...
Spent a recent weekend at Holly Oaks ORV Park in Holly, MI. Ended up being a Michigan Bronco Club event the same day so we had a guided tour of the moderate difficulty trails throughout the park. We had a blast and our base non-Sas Bronco (should we name this thing?) really surprised me. We...
+1 for the non-paracord Bartact handles. I bought these ones and couldnāt be happier. Hereās a post from my thread with a couple pics and some more info:

Headed out with my sons for our first trip to Holly Oaks on Saturday. This will be the shakedown run for me (as a novice with more experience driving snowmobiles/SxS), AND our 2023 Bronco Base non-sas!
Weāre going to need a flag since the one we ordered wonāt be here until next week. But other...
I can see the similarities between the ADV and the angle of the rear window on the original. And, I wasnāt aware ADV asked the community to select a style during pre-production, which I applaud. Maybe it is just the 4-door proportions that make it look gross. Seems like the side windows in the...
Thatās fine. You can put me down as a -1 for the 2 door version too. My money will be going to whichever company designs an aftermarket soft or hard top without the angled rear fastback window. Anybody else think those look dumb?
Feels like so many of the aftermarket accessories should just...
Bartact Colored Grab Handles (in brown). Look nice, feel good in-hand, and can be tucked between halo bar and top panels if they annoy you while driving.
Installed the Bartact Color Grab Handles (in brown) and they look/feel nice. Hang down a comfortable distance to easily access when entering the Bronco, and feel substantial in-hand.
Some have said these strap-style handles hang into the front seat peripheral vision to the point of annoyance...
Appreciate the tip. Will definitely check it out with the dealer when Iām back there for an oil change.
Everybody was fine in the crash. Ford Focus blew a red light and I hit their front passenger quarter panel. Really thankful it wasnāt in the driverās door, as the height of the bronco bumper...
