I went from a 6 cyl Toyota FJ (I also have a Tacoma) to the 4 cyl bronco with MT - plenty of power and torque - plus it's a "tried and tested" Ford engine. Build quality is however way higher on any Toyota vehicle compared to the bronco - however, for style and fun-factor in an off-road leaning...
Any thoughts on the Ford Off-Roadeo - is it worth attending...?
I live in Telluride, CO and was considering signing up for the one in Moab - it's only 2 hours away... but don't want to waste my time... FYI - I'm not a big 4-wheeler guy... I just like the Bronco where I live (roof and doors...
Cool - I will do that - don't want to do any mods/fixes with Forscan if I can help it... I hate most of the electronic gadgets including the e-parking brake... prefer the old school manual hand brake...
Have had my Bronco a few weeks now - manual trans 2.3L BD Bronco. I notice that when sitting still in idle, when I put in neutral and take my foot off the clutch it stops. Also, when someone opens the door, it stops... Kinda annoying... How can I stop this...? I can't be the first to...
A simple waterproof bikini top for the driver and passenger seat is still desperately needed. Another huge simplicity advantage of a bikini top vs storing the 2 front hard top panels is storage space. When I store my 2 hard top front panels in their bags in the back (in case of a sudden...
E parking brakes are for sissy's - but I forgive Ford for giving me one in my BD MT Bronco - even VW performance cars have done away with manual hand brakes.
I don't mind the location of the parking brake but I dislike the fact that it is an electronic parking brake and not a manual hand brake... doing power slides in a Bronco might have been fun...!!!
Has anyone run their 2-door Bronco with the 2 front seat roof panels "on" with the main back roof "off"???
I am sure it is fine a local speeds but curious if anyone has really stress-tested this roof configuration.
I totally get it. I just received my 2D BD Bronco last week. I love it for tooling around town and in the local mountains but I would never use it as a daily driver if I had to drive it a decent number of miles per day... It's really just a fun, spare toy kinda vehicle. For where I live...
Perhaps a stupid comment however, when I owned my Jeep about 20 years ago, I kept the top off for 6 months and used the classic "club" to lock off the steering wheel as a sure-fire anti-theft device. Does the electronic ignition in the G6 Bronco act an an adequate anti-theft device or is a...
I totally get what you are looking for - I had a Jeep for years and loved my bikini top - I could just store it rolled up under the front seat and put it on in about 5 minutes when needed. We need a 6G Bronco hack for this (until someone makes a revised version)...
Yeah, sure - perhaps. Funny - I also just sold my 07 FJ to make room for my new Bronco - actually sold and picked up the new bronco on the same day... Ping me when you get into town @ 9707080159.
Has anyone found a simple 2 door front seat bikini top (not mesh Bimini top)...? Has anyone developed a HACK to make this one work on the newer G6 Bronco...? https://www.amazon.com/Bestop-52542-01-Traditional-Bikini-1966-1977/dp/B0002SA46U
I was a little concerned about this too - about a year ago I drive a ranger pickup with the same engine.... Weight was different than the Bronco but it gave me some assurance as to the power and torque of the 4 cyl.
Day 4 with my new Eruption Green, 2-Door Black Diamond Bronco, Non-sasq, 4 Cyl, MT:
- The 4 cyl. has plenty of power and enabled me to get the Manual Trans. I live at 9500 ft in Western CO and the turbo 4 Cyl. is ideal and the MT makes routine driving feel more connected and engaging.
- MT...
After 2 years of waiting, picked up my new ‘22 Bronco BD, Non-Sasq. today. Thanks to Brody, Wes, etc at Montrose Ford (Montrose, CO) for making the process so fast, fun and painless.
