When was your Bronco assembled? There’s a bad batch of 2.3l engines that some made there way into Broncos. Check that you don’t have coolant in your engine oil, or low coolant in the reservoir. The blocks can crack on that batch, bad castings. If I recall, build dates around March 2023

Well if it were mine, I'd try to make the pitch to the dealer that they should leave the squared fender and swap the others, as they look substantially better. Given its only 1 to swap vs 3 it may be difficult, but if you approach it comically and show your service rep, you never know.

Can confirm both that Schnebley is quite rocky on the top half (traveled West to East leaving Sedona, note that the Pink Jeeps turn around right at the part where it starts climbing and gets quite rocky) and that Soldiers Pass is well worth getting a permit for, both are mandatory 3 of 10 ratings.

I think those prismatic cells are the right direction for a project like this. That cell you showed is used in a lot of DIY battery systems you can find tutorials on how to put together online. Stick with LiPo for its safety benefits and get a good battery manager in there with temperature...

Exactly where I’m at. Really start to notice the lack of power below 2.1k, and only in 6th once I’m up up speed over 65 mph. Stock BL non-Sas.

I was curious on this as well, so did some googling. Its a TC Teardrop https://www.tcteardrops.com/products/tcteardrop-build-quote rented from Camping Elevated in Flagstaff https://www.campingelevated.com/

While I don't have the SAS tires, I do have the C Rated KO2's that came on my Badlands still on there. I am a pretty strong believer in using the tires that came on the vehicle for their useful life, you did pay for them after all. Once you get a puncture or two, or run down the tread, is when...

In SoCal expect to pay around $4-5k for full vehicle paint correction, PPF, and a 7-year Ceramic coating on a mid-sized SUV. Price does vary widely, but you really do need to do a bit of homework, read reviews of the shop, and see if you can be shown some of their in progress or recently...

Oh interesting, I hadn’t realized that the raised air intake ‘blocks’ the standard ditch mount location on the passenger side. Wonder if all the aftermarket ones do the same. Strange side effect of the way the door mirrors are mounted vs on the door itself like the wrangler does. Agree with the...

2 Doors don't get the rear sway bar (though I recall the 2 Door WT might actually have a rear sway bar with Hoss 3.0?), but it does stand to reason that an upgrade made to the 4 Door frame would also flow down to the 2 Door frame. Unfortunately true, various modules are grounded to the chassis...

Figured I'd go check mine. Boxed - 23 Badlands non-sas 2 door 2.3l 7MT. No visible cracks, but also stock.

Its an indication that the market has gotten too expensive, and coupled with interest rates and the approaching holiday expenses, a new body on frame anything just isn't in the cards for most.

Same here, got the 2 door 7mt BL non-SAS, high pack, which for me is the optimal price point for manual with all the cameras and heated seats, and avoid paying for the auto without getting one. Once you start to add lockers to any of the other trims, it just doesn't make sense to go any other way.

How does the engine options not add up to 100%? Are the missing 26% of those 9,117 orders Raptors?

These look so much better than the other squared off fender flares I’ve seen. Also looks like a great time and thanks for sharing.

How's the angles look at full droop up front? Looking great though, really like the fenders in green.

2023 2dr Badlands

I was going to post the exact same video. The benefit to using a phone/tablet for maps is having the full functionality, vs a trimmed down CarPlay version. I use Gaia and while it's great to see all our custom maps on the infotainment system, you can't really do much with them except view...

Sandstone Canyon in Anza Borrego. @drzmat would probably like a compressor as well, because who wouldn't want a high flow twin compressor. Does the giveaway also include a 4 tire inflator kit? They're pretty much a requirement with that much air flow, too much for any one valve stem to handle.

Mine had a blend date of 3/30 and has an AB tagged 7MT. 760 miles on it and its been in dealer service 7 and a half weeks and counting for a transmission oil leak, among other warrantied issues.
