Way back when I was driving say a SBC, BBC, or just about any other car I have, I could hear what the engine was doing. My GTI would tell me as well. This 2.3 is mostly quiet through the rpm range. I’d like to glance down (at a legible tach not this 2.5-2.8 graph BS) to see where I’m at when...
I’m thinking of just doing this. I agree that this is one of the few things that really bother me about the new ride. Who designed this stupid thing?
Because the tach sucks….
I hate the tach.
How about an optional tach screen that actually is readable, with a needle like a standard tachometer we have seen since the 1950s. They have it for mpg, and boost. The engineering team responsible for that dash debacle should be fired. The “tach” is...
Just kinda whipped it up. i needed a flat platform for my kennel and wanted to keep the back seats. Built it out of birch plywood. Covered it with cheap marine carpeting. Drawers are shallow but hold the top bags, hitch drawbar, jumper cables, tow strap.
You could cheat it to about 67-68” by removing the seat bottom on the passenger side and flipping the headrest to the down position Rather than up. Pull the pass. seat forward all the way and fill the void with a panel. Get creative with a pillow and sleeping position and it might work in a pinch.
My buddy is the Natl sales mgr for Kenda LT tires. He is a die hard off road guy. He has worked tirelessly to introduce new designs to the off road /LT market. Their new MT is crazy good and going to be available in 35x10.50-17. The biggest problem they are having is supply issues and container...
I might put the large connector on the bumper when I get a steel one just to clean up that hanging 4 pin and use the 7-4 adapter.
The kit includes only a flat 4 connector.
Just did the Curt plug n play. Easy, the only “hard“ part is running a wire from the back to the engine compartment and hooking up to the a
ready there terminal on the battery. Easy. About a 2 on a 10 scale. Took some time to tuck wires. I removed the rear bumper ( 8 bolts) to make it easier to...
i think there wasn’t enough time to prototype a lot of these accessories. I talked with a few that didn’t get a bronco to build in time, myself included.
I had a great conversation with an engineer at Ford Performance in their booth at SEMA. He said a tune is expected in the 1 st qtr of 22. He also assured me that it will wake up the 2.3, adding about 25 hp move the torque lower down the rpm curve, and throttle response will sharpen. He also said...
The top ”layer” has a couple cutouts to clear the side panels once in place. I tries a piano hinge but the carpeting bound due to the thickness so I just used a couple regular hinges.
