Thanks everyone. I have a good noco charger. I guess I never thought letting the bronco sit for 30 days would kill the battery (and it was DEAD).
If anyone does happen to check their bronco for how many amps it pulls when completely off, post it here so I can compare.
Just repeating it here...
when I had it running the guage was jumping all over the place. I donāt know if itās possible but it was like the only electricity was being given by the alternator.

Thanks for all the advice everyone.
the dealer replaced the battery ($325! $240usd) and charged me $65! ($50usd) to do it...
I came back from a few-week vacation and found my Bronco with a completely flat battery. So flat, I needed to try boosting it multiple times to get the engine to turn over and finally get it going. But I had all kinds of dash lights come on and the breaks were acting really funny. Had the Bronco...
Pardon me, if there is one already,⦠I couldnāt find one. If there isnāt one, should we make one?
My 2021 bronco (reserved day 1) was part of the Hardtop fiasco. Then landed in winter 2021 with an airbag recall. So it stayed at the dealership for another 3 months.

You canāt really tell whatās happening in this photo, but it was the first time I went off road. Being that angled was a āhold my beerā moment for me.
Afterwards on the same day, I slid uncontrollably down a steep long and narrow mud-filled trail. That was a āpucker-upā moment,.. maybe a...
Hi all. Was on a more difficult trail led by a local off-road club. Hit hard a few times then got high centered on a pretty big rock.
I bent the arms attached to the frame rail. They donāt look structural or important š¤·āāļø and I dented a skidplate.
wondering if anyone knew what was above that...
thx friend.
the lights are pretty solid. No shaking and lights are solid. And the wind deflector does a surprisingly good job with eliminating wind noise.Canāt hear the lights either. There is some noise from the cross beams but minimal.
While I was in their with the wiring I finally fixed the...
Thanks. š
The entire rack is aluminum. Some of the hardware is stainless. Not sure about the black bolts and washers but Iād assume theyāre ārustproofā too.
āRust proofā, yes.
The only things I added were bolts (stainless) and electrical connectors (waterproof).
everything else were part of the either the RTR Off-road light bar or the TrailRax TRMR rack.
hereās the video I made:
thanks everyone. i've ordered a firestik antenna. i'll mount to my hammerbuilt antenna mount in the rear and have it 2' above my roof (4').
talk to you guys on the airwaves ;)
finally got around to finishing the modification to the trailrax rack.
I posted the results in a thread I started under the āexterior modificationā sub topic. Let me know what you think.
hereās a photo of a dry fit just to check wiring.
Funny you brought it up. Just finished in friday.
It mightāve been me they were mentioning.. š¤. Iāve brought up this specific project with them ever since the TRMR rack came out.
Iāll update my very first post up top š with my findings.
wanted to get GMRS but the group I'm traveling with the most uses CB. decided to get a Firestik and will mount it to my Hammberbuilt accessory mount next to the spare tire.
wondering if anyone had any guidance on what length i should get? comes in 2, 3, 4, 5'
thx.
