Honest advice, if you're going into one of the chain control areas you should be running proper snow tires as well.

It's Greenelane Offroad. Their stuff is nice and well priced for aluminum.

Instead of going straight for the gear, you can letting the stick return to the neutral position, then shift for first. It’ll take a moment longer, but it will take away the guess work.

Hmm weird. That's the first time I've seen anything pointing to the idea of that box being empty on the base. Curious to know what's actually going on there, because if it is empty I'm pulling it out when mine comes in.

Can I see a photo of your front bumper? Because the last guy in this thread who told me this had the radar transceiver. So I’m curious to see if you actually don’t. Also curious to see your research, because every photo of a base bronco I’ve seen has the transceiver. That includes the two base...

All Broncos have "Ford Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking". You can see that here. If the base mode has it, they all do. That system operates using a radar transceiver. That transceiver is located in the middle of the FMIC cutout as shown in the Bronco Owners Manual on Page...

The radar unit is the rectangular plastic box mounted in the center of the FMIC cutout. It is utilized by the adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning systems. All broncos have forward collision warning, so all broncos have the radar transceiver. It can't be in the exact location...

Yeah that black plastic rectangle in there is the housing for the radar. And I think we're safe to assume that it can't see out if you put a plate there, radar readily reflects off metals.

Your Bronco has both the forward collision camera and the radar unit exactly where Ford says they are.

I'm going off what Ford documentation says and a google search of base bronco front ends to confirm the radar unit is there. Neither is in the grill and you can see the camera in the basesquatch shot. You got a shot of your front end?

That's the camera. The radar unit is the black plastic rectangle in the FMIC cutout.

Yeah I looked at that, but I want to add foglights and all the mounts that use those mounts block the pockets where they would go. I also end up on dirt roads at night, so I was looking to add additional lights to the front bumper. Too many needs and not enough space. haha

Damn that sucks man. I got lucky with my BMW, I could buy a bracket that mounts to the front tow hook. Still trying to think about what to do when my Bronco shows up. Been thinking of building something that bolts through one of the front shackle points on the mod bumper since I don't wheel...

In a lot of states it will be an add-on ticket if you get pulled over for something else, or given to you in a parking lot by meter maids. The only time I've ever gotten a front plate ticket on it's own while driving was on Staten Island. Yeah I just double checked, all broncos have the...

I thought every bronco had the sensor? Are you logging IATs?

idk man. This fully blocks the forward collision sensor and partially blocks the FMIC.

Hey that sounds like a cool setup once you have it all sorted. But word of advise from someone who’s been working in motorsport for a decade with stints at USAC and a major team - don’t talk about other people’s kickbacks publicly. It can cause friction in the industry if the wrong person finds...

I would’ve taken a bb if ford offered mid package on it with a stick. I feel like a lot of other people are in that situation too. I don’t want to have to spend 45k just to get heated seats. I can see that, but you’re leaving out that the main reason to get the BB, the mid package, is not...

Honest question. What do you people do to cars that you brick them in 10 years? Maybe I have a different expectation on this coming from my BMWs, which are both electronics heavy and still doing fine at 15 and 25 years old. But even my '99 Mountaineer with the glass 4 speed auto is still alive...

I'd rather we just make buybacks illegal again. The US rail industry has spent 200 BILLION on them in the last 10 years. Wonder how much of the $1,600 destination charge is going straight to some speculator's pockets. 🤔 Anyway. Worker's deserve their share, especially ones as screwed over as...
