I don't know if our group is dead but I will play along a bit more. I added the Buckleup Offroad
KJM Recovery Track Board & Accessories Mount. Well, if you do add traction boards or likely just about anything else you might hit and crack your expensive taillight. I updated my hinges to the...
Awesome story. Awesome job! I wanted a Bronco since 1977 but in 78 (is that right?) the first gen was done. Didn't like 2 thru 5. Gen6 is pretty dang good and I would have liked to get a Wildtrak or Badlands. It was early 23 and the Bronco frenzy was just letting production keep with demand...
Wow! I have a Prusa CoreOne+ and I'm looking to design/print a door mounted cupholder for the rear passenger and driver side. Similar to the Mabett idea of 3m taping to the door. They haven't come out with a design. I find the floor mounted version not be used by my adult grandsons and when...
Meh. Plastic bumpers, really? Like a first edition I would not pay a jacked up price. When I bought mine in 23, the dealer still had 10K "market alignment" pricing added to the sticker. I told him, look, I'm retired and for 10K I can afford to fly anywhere in the US and purchase from a...
I traded my 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison Diesel in on my 23 BB. The Bison was more capable but I always wanted a Bronco since 1978. I went the Jeep route with a Jeep Scrambler, I forget the year but bought it new in Texas. So I think it was maybe a 1982. It let me down a couple of times and the...
No idea what the FPR discount is but I was happy enough with the 20% discount. $277.30 seems like a pretty dang good deal (admittedly another $50 or so off would have been a great deal!)
12 inches in Louisiana? Dang, Tallahassee was cheated with only about 2 or so inches. But what a blast for this Yankee transplant of about 30 years. Grew up in Michigan and served in North Dakota and Alaska. The longest time I had my 23 Big Bend in 4 wheel drive. Likely didn't need it but it...
Yesterday was absolutely a fun day for me and my two Ford vehicles. First out of the barn was my 1942 Ford GPW (jeep). It was a blast ripping thru my yard. I may have dug into the yard below the snow but I don't really care!
Next up was the first time my 2023 Bronco Big Bend was in snow and...
A couple of days ago I removed the aftermarket Clamber steps. I replaced those with OEM rock rails that I purchased off of eBay. So just a word to the wise. Make sure you know what you are getting. This purchase was just for the rails and not the nuts, bolts and extra brackets that you need...
@pandapaul It is my understanding that the Everglades have diff breathers and perhaps any other breathers mounted higher than the non-Everglades. I have not heard and doubt that the electronics are any more waterproof than the non-Everglades. I love the snorkel look that's why I put it on my...
I installed a Warn Winch VR EVO 10-S some time ago with the Rough Country high winch mount. Since my Bronco was a Big Bend it came with the cheap looking plastic standard bumper. When installing the winch I also installed the HD Modular bumper. And now today I installed the WARN 62132 Power...
Saturday (Oct 12) my wife and number 2 grandson went to the Bronco Off-roadeo in Tennessee. This was a fantastic event. Some of the trails seemed to go just about straight up and then straight down. Four wheel low the entire time. Used trail assist going down and also M manual mode and the...
I find that interesting as I went from the cheap non-capable plastic bumper to the modular. It bolted right on. The only modification needed was not to the bumper but was removing the tow loops or cutting them off. I cut my loops off as removing them would really mean replacing them and the...
I set out to buy a new Bronco in 1978 and was disgusted to learn that they then looked like a sawed off pickup truck instead of the wondrous size and shape of the Gen 1. The 6G is just about perfect. Sure the two door looks more like it but for most the four door is more practical. Larger...
The Bronco Equipment Installation Guide indicates that putting something in between the d-ring mounts could be a high risk for "potential engine erratic behavior due to increased charge air temps." I often wonder if the companies that make these add-ons do air temp tests.
I have a 2023 Big Bend, 2.3L mid package. It came will no skid plates. The first skid I purchased was the aluminum Mabett transmission skid plate because I had crawled under the Bronco and found that cheap plastic trans pan. Then I went with the aluminum ASFIR transfer case and fuel tank...
I feel your pain. I wouldn't have been able to do this in the attached garage. I had Morton Buildings come at and built me a barn and office right after I retired. Before I even seriously thought about a Bronco. I used it to house my 1942 Ford GPW (jeep) and my then owned 2020 Colorado ZR2...
I think that the 6 bolts in the cargo sides are the key. Make sure that the assembly sets right on the pins and that should be fine. The other area I experienced were the center brackets on the roll bar. Because I had a dual top, these appeared to have been just slapped on at the factory. I...
