Nice setup! Having a 2dr on order and also going with the roof rack, did they throw the painted covers for the windshield in the center console or a bag or something...? Thanks! Enjoy!
Had a 12/13 build date on October 28th, just got moved to 12/20 recently. Wondering if MAP has a winter break that will push it to January...? Ah well, what's another month or two? Amiright?
I think, but I am definitely no expert, but I think "sport mode" on the Bronco is probably similar to the F-150, wherein it recalibrates the shift points and brings the RPM's more into the torque band rather than giving any kind of actual HP/torque increase. I know when I put my F-150 (2.7l)...

Thanks for the heads up! I have seen these sorts of things over the years on various manufacturers. I've had vehicles with rubber bands on hoses from the factory, that were clearly used on the assembly line and not removed, I've also seen many different uses of zip ties from the factory not just...
Yup! Just did this last weekend here in Arizona! Even though it was short, it is a great introductory to mild off-roading in the Bronco. It is totally free and I even got a hat out of it, Lol. All the staff were awesome and extremely helpful! One tip, get there early so you can get first choice...
I've been using Blackstone for several years on various vehicles and have always recommended them for anyone who changes their own oil.
Me personally, I change mine within the first 1k, but it's just a routine I've come accustomed to. Usually, I'll send the next oil sample to BS after the first...
A couple of things I could recommend too... Like has been mentioned, you can use a pick or even a small flat screwdriver to remove the old O-rings. When replacing the new ones, put a little oil on the them to help keep them lubricated. You can get the correct socket for the filter enclosure or...
Interesting tidbit: O'Reilly didn't have the Bronco in its system, and I've been too lazy to search the manual for the proper oil filter size and type. Guess I'll visit the local Ford dealer tomorrow.
I'm curious on this too, MY F-150 with the 2.7l uses the Motorcraft FL2062 filter and 5W-30...
