Had to cut 2 small notches in the bumper and open up the notch a little bit on the opposite side of the opening in the bumper to allow the new bracket to fit.
RagnarKon has a yt video on the installation.
Front sagged about 3/4 of an inch. I'll address that later on.
Not sure if it has changed, but if you want the SAS package, its included on the wildtrak and can actually save you money compared to an equally badlands. Our wildtrak has the capable bumper and I installed the ford performance winch with only a small modification. There's videos on it. Like...
Had a few waves from jeeps. F150 raptor owners used to wave to each other until the second gen came out, the it was hit or miss. But, when we're out in the woods everyone waves to each other regardless of what you are driving because we're out having fun and it also is a way to tell if someone...
We're having poor reception also with the hard top. I blamed it on the location of the antenna. Off roading in my area involves mostly wooded areas making it so bad I just switch to something else.
Spent the day riding in the woods. About 8 hours worth. Cooked some dinner on the trail. Fall colors are starting to pop in some areas. Beautiful fall day.²
I schedule a start 5-10 minutes before quitting time in the winter because I'm too far away for the fob to work. Also when I carpool and my truck is sitting in the parking lot, I don't have to get into a vehicle that can be as cold as -20. This was a very important option for me. I love this...
Friday I installed the Ford performance winch kit.
Today, my wife and I, along with our son and his family took a ride through the woods today to big bay. Good times :)
If you spent any time on the build and price website you would realize why you don't see certain models. Bang for your buck, a heritage edition get you the most, if you can stand the color choices and ugly seats. Load up a bad lands and then build a wildtrak and save yourself a few grand...
I installed the same one about a month ago or so. I was impressed with the whole package overall. I didn't have any issues with the jack nuts, but I was concerned with them maybe turning. Overall, very satisfied with it.
I owned an explorer in the 90s. The actual problem was over time the tires would get too low from small leaks, like bead or valve stem leaks, combined with highway speeds would cause the tires to eventually overheat and blow out, then loss of control of the vehicle was increased due to broken...
I always run my own pressures, but my question is how is this legal? Tire doesn't meet the manufacturers specs. Should have never been installed on a vehicle with this requirement. Tire is underrated for the application in my opinion.
Maybe this has been brought up before, but I recently noticed that the recommended pressure is 39 psi on the door jam sticker and the sidewall of the tire says max inflation of 35 psi. This doesn't seem right to me.
Otherwise, these tires are smooth and quiet on the highway, but I've...
I have a 2023 wildtrak with the powder coated steel front bumper. I haven't found any options for winch mounts short of buying a bumper. Not too excited about any of the bumpers out there. I like the ford performance set up, but I need the modular bumper from the factory according to Ford...
Unfortunately I missed the gift25 code by a day, but still got 15% off and spent some fordpass points to get a couple necessary upgrades. Insta the tailgate table immediately, next time the top is off I'll install the Bimini top.
My wife received an alert on her phone yesterday about the bronco having a code stored for an exhaust flow control valve or something and the ses light on, see dealer now. I went out and started it up, no issues. Took it out for a ride last night , no issues. Checked my Ford pass and found it...
