  1. Dog approved!

    Dog approved! I-95 yesterday coming back from NC to DC. Rear seats down, just snoozed the whole time. Finally had a chance to use the 4x4 on this trip with surveying the family farms. Rainy, muddy, ruts, soggy. Put it in Rut mode on the goat dial, rear locker turned on, and went through all of...
  2. New Bronco, Dealership avoided Ford Credit option like the plague

    Ford Credit probably doesn’t want to lock in the loans right now to be honest. With the treasury yields not coming down, and forecasters now leaning back towards rates staying elevated if not increasing again, they may not be wanting to sweeten the pot for new loans on their books at the moment...
  3. New appreciation for BFG's

    I switched my K03's after about 900 miles for trail terrain instead. Went from E rated to SL rated and much lighter tire. The trail terrain did have some initial vibration as well which surprised me, but far less than the K03's and figured the shop didn't rebalance very well (they didn't do a...
  4. UGH! MIC Top cracking

    When is the class-action lawsuit going to happen? That's about the only way this gets resolved correctly by Ford. You don't "ask" as an individual to a company like Ford. You demand as a collective group when there is enough evidence to make it an absolute no-brainer for any judge or jury to...
  5. Exhaust leak?

    I’m not convinced it is even broken, and instead on some fee hunting expedition. Was told this morning that Ford won’t honor a warranty claim, suggesting that when I raised the transmission an inch to install the PPE pan, it likely flexed it and caused it. How? I have no idea, considering the...
  6. Exhaust leak?

    Ok, so apparently the dealership noted an exhaust on mine and assumed I did it when I installed my PPE transmission pan (assumed I removed the exhaust pipe to get it to fit). But, I didn’t touch the exhaust pipe whatsoever. So, a little skeptical of the diagnosis, I went looking where they say...
  7. Is this the infamous MIC top delamination on my 2024?

    Mine has the waves in it too. Ordered 12/26/24, delivered 6/1/24. Dual top. HT was on for 3 days then went into storage until about a 3 weeks ago when I switched out the ST for the HT. Notices the waves on the back side of the clamshell last week. Lovely...
  8. 2025 Outerbanks AUX Switches

    I suspect many cross-shop the OBX to the Sahara as a natural comparison. Unless if they know Jeep is doing the same thing or about to, they would be wise to not step too far away from what you can get on the Sahara. I like the colored fenders and mirrors too! I wanted one that looked less...
  9. 2025 Outerbanks AUX Switches

    I don't understand why they're taking random stuff away now for the OBX, guess the ordering history speaks for itself. But if I were to re-order my 2024 now for 2025, it would only be about $1,500 less and not have rear locking differential (4.27), auxiliary switches, steel bumper with brush...
  10. Bought the right car!

    Thanksgiving morning, cold with drizzle in the Virginia exurbs of DC, up before the family and needed a couple of items from the store. Hit the remote start on the app as I brush my teeth, put on my old favorite sweater and jeans. Get out to the car, nice and warm, seat hot. Hit the windshield...
  11. Shouldn't be 100K

    We've got the GLS450 as well, bought new in 2020 right before the craziness started for about $90k. 75k miles on it now, has been great (minus the rear tires every 25k miles). So I know your reference point, and will totally agree with the others in saying that $100k is not worth it. Either get...
  12. Future rival: 2025 Jeep Recon SUV EV spied in most revealing looks yet and 3 different colors

    Not going to lie, if they can deliver that Scout SUV as advertised, that might just be the one to pull me over to the EV world, especially if the SUV model comes with that back up gasoline engine for the extended range. That thing looks fantastic, and 2028 would put it right on schedule to...
  13. CarbonSteel's 2023 Wildtrak Build + Maintenance Journal (Filters, Fluids, Oil Changes Etc)

    On my last car before the bronco, a 2014 Mercedes e350, the dealership stripped out a bolt as well. I bought it as a CPO in 2017. When it came time to do the transmission fluid, my Indi mechanic called to ask if I had done anything to the car, of which was a big fat no! I couldn't figure out...
  14. CarbonSteel's 2023 Wildtrak Build + Maintenance Journal (Filters, Fluids, Oil Changes Etc)

    Here’s a few more of the PPE pan installed (just took them). Has a few thousand miles on it now since then, all been fine.
  15. CarbonSteel's 2023 Wildtrak Build + Maintenance Journal (Filters, Fluids, Oil Changes Etc)

    Definitely looks the same! This is my oem pan as I was starting. Mine was getting snagged by that lump on the exhaust pipe that is wrapped up when trying to get it in there. But think moral of the story between the two approaches - if you do need some extra room or just want some, it’s an easy...
  16. CarbonSteel's 2023 Wildtrak Build + Maintenance Journal (Filters, Fluids, Oil Changes Etc)

    This is mine, not the deep pan. The exhaust basically sits right underneath the front curvature party of the pan. I don’t know if the deep pan is slightly different, but I had a difficult time getting mine to seat without the lifting. I was nervous about possibly bumping any of the internals of...
  17. Future rival: 2025 Jeep Recon SUV EV spied in most revealing looks yet and 3 different colors

    If the top don’t split, You ain’t got 💩. Right Johnny?
  18. Hardtop Clamshell Brackets: Not Connected to Frame

    Second question, the trim pieces along the back of the rear window frame. Did they remove them for you prior to installing the HT? They're the fan looking black pieces about 3 inches wide, maybe 12 inches tall. If you're not sure, push the edge of the HT that meet the back edge of your rear door...
  19. Hardtop Clamshell Brackets: Not Connected to Frame

    Not on mine, no spacers, and it sat high like that too. Once you start ratcheting them down, they will bend down into place and will also pull down the top tighter to the car as well. Mine connect right down to the frame.
  20. Hardtop Clamshell Brackets: Not Connected to Frame

    That definitely needs to be bolted down. Should be two per bracket to the frame. Same bolts for that, that are used to bolt it down along the back. No wonder you're rattling/squeaking! You're basically attached along the back windows and the windshield only, and floating in between! wouldn't...
