If you are comfortable removing the emblems, you are most of the way there. There are products to remove the remaining adhesive residue...just make sure it is safe for automotive paint. A detail supply shop near me sells a Gum and Tar Remover that works great. If there is any paint fading...

I had a set of 2024 Ranger XLT wheels, so painted them GM Magna Steel with a matte clear coat (the Ranger painted Ranger wheel is pictured on the right, next to the Bronco Big Bend wheel). I actually tried Eruption Green and a gray-blue, but they were a bit much for me. Current look...

I haven't gone as bold as your idea, but I have played with several vinyl graphic designs since I bought my Bronco in January. I shared most of them in a blog I wrote at the link below: Bronco Vinyl Graphics Here are a couple of those versions:

I just saw thse wheels on a 2 door at my local dealer. They look really good!

It's interesting that I cannot find any information online about this pending recall. The only source of it is this forum. All searches lead to this post. I realize this was a letter sent to Ford dealers, but you wuld think some other source would have it by now.

I had good luck putting a honeycomb vinyl wrap on the front rail of a pickup box. It's thicker than most wraps, so it might give you the protection you need. I was thinking of trying it on my tailgate. A 3ft x 5ft roll is $28 on Amazon.

I don't have a worry about my diff, but now I do have a fear of knife wielding clowns!

Really nice job and a good alternative to the other methods. Using the cans can be a challenge as you noted. For those looking for another way to apply Plastidip, Dip Your Car has a spray system: https://www.dipyourcar.com/collections/dipyourcar-peelable-car-kits

Good advice, and it has the added benefit of no cost!

Looks good! Projects like this are fun to do and are good learning experiences.

Wind noise is the reason. The 4Runner had noticeable noise in the A-pillar and/or mirrors.

I had a chance to drive a friend's 2026 4Runner TRD. It's nice enough, but not really much quieter than my '25 Big Bend. I didn’t feel the material quality was better either.

It's OK...we just want our voices heard. Now, let's turn our attention to a less controversial topic: Favorite motor oil.

My only experience is with the 2025 Big Bend that I bought in January. I didn’t find the interior noise objectionable during an extensive test drive, and I just took a 1,600 road trip with no complaint. I did add sound deadening to the doors, but that was mainly to address the hollow sound when...

I bought my 2025 Big Bend in January, and took it on its first road trip this past week. I had a chance to drive it through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and was extremely pleased with how well it handled the road system there. About 30 miles of that trip is full of good twisties...

I agree. Sadly, all it takes is one person to back up over a cliff, tumble down a hill, burst into flames, and hit some endangered species in a national park to ruin it for everyone. 😁

Agree. That was a real missed opportunity. Makes me think the relationship between the two is not good.

Did the dealer discover the cause of the chirping noise? I have a one month old '25 Big Bend making that sound at startup. It does go away after a few minutes. I read in another forum that the body control module (under the dash) or relays cycling are likely the cause. In those cases, the...

I second this recommendation. Automotivetouchup.com has been my go-to for paint touch up for 7+ years. It can take up to two weeks to get your order as they mix on demand. Still, worth it.

This goes into the same category as, "if a tree falls in the woods..."
